[Continued I'roiu First I'AKC.J
; Hie automobile and moving; pictures,
| are added to the class of things which
I this committee annually reports help
Ito desecrate the Sabbath. The com
l mlttee requested the assembly to ask
| faculties of colleges and seminaries to
j omit recitations on Monday mornings
; so a* to eliminate Sunday studying.
Emphatic disapproval of the use of
public school rooms on Sunday for
community forum meetings was ex
pressed, and national, State and local
legislative bodies were urged in the
report to defeat any enactments legal
izing such use.
Urge Crusade Against Divorce
Alarmed at the increasing number of
divorces in thte United States, the gen
eral assembly adopted resolutions urg
ing a campaign of education on the
subject of marriage and divorce, and
instructed all Presbyterian ministers
"to preach upon the sanctity of mar
riage and the evils of divorce nt least
once a year." The synods were urged
to take up the matter of Improved
codes pertaining to marriage and di
vorce, and, with the aid of members of
the legal profession, to petition their
respective legislatures for more defi
nite legislation upon" the divorce ques
tion.
The committee on Christian life and
work, which called attention to the
divorce evil, stated that the average
number of divorces in this countrv Is
about one to every twelve marriages.
The case of a Chicapo matron was
cited who has Just received her fifth
divorce from the courts. Ministers
were cautioned against officiating at
the wedding of divorced persons, and
figures given to show that in the State
of California 21,000 divorced persons
were married again In the last seven
yea rs.
Pennsylvania divorce law was ctted
by the committee as being specially
reprehensible, making divorce easy.
Tills Indictment brought a protest
from the Rev. Dr. William C. Hogg, of
Wllllamsport, who said he considered
the Pennsylvania law a good one and
asked wherein the New Jersey law, for
Instance, was superior to it.

ONE VOTE EACH FOR
"THEO" AND "WOOD"
I [Continued From First Page.]
i the city and at an early hour tills
i afternoon there was plentiful indi
cation that the Erie man had been
swamped in the county, too. In the
I city Palmer polled 3,569 votes to Wall
ing's 2,131. Palmer carried forty
eight of the city districts, while Wall
j ing won out in but three—the Sfth
precinct of the Second ward, Second
of the Twelfth and First of the Eighth.
In the First of the Ninth and the First
of the Eleventh not a single nonparti
san vote was cast, while in the First
of the Fourth and the First of the
Twelfth, respectively, the two candi
dates tied at 86 and 44 votes apiece.
For "Wood" and "Tlieo"
While the Prohibition vote still re
mains to be totaled in both city and
county, the computers discovered some
odd choices of the white ribboners in
the city for the presidency of the
United States.
For Instance. Dr. Silas C. Swallow,
ex-Governor William Sulzer, of New
York, Governor Martin G. Brumbaugh,
ex-President Roosevelt and Henry
Ford each got a vote apiece, whi!e
President Wilson got two.
The voters, incidentally, evinced a
certain familiarity In voting for Presi
dent Wilson and Mr. Roosevelt, too.
"Wood" Wilson is the way one of
the votes for the President wa° re
turned, while the Roosevelt supporter
cast his vote for "Tlieo."

DOINGS OF TRAPSHOOTERS
Interesting Jottings From Various Organizations Through
out United States; Coining Events
By PETER P. CARNEY
Ninety-eight new clubs were admit- j
ted to membership in the American j
Amateur Trapshooters' Association the
last two weeks in April.
Eight clubs are now affiliated with |
the Delaware State Sportsmen's Associ- t
ntion, which is pretty nearly every club j
in the peach-growing State.
Possibly the oldest shooting club In
the United States is the leather Stock- i
ing Club, of Oswego. New York. Thi_s !
organization was formed on March 17,1
1860, and is still very active.
The Intercollegiate Trapshooting As- i
sociation, comprised of Harvard, Prince- i
ton. Yale, Cornell and Dartmouth, is 1
now a member of the A. A. T. A.
The Westy llogans' annual shoot will !
j be held in Atlantic City on September
12 to 16. inclusive. The shoot will take i
I place on either the new Garden Pier or
jat Venice Park.
! Atglen. Pa., a town of 760 persons.
' boasts of a gun club of 20 years' reign
| that has never been defeated in league >
'competition or interclub contests.
The I'tica, N. Y.. Field and Gun Club,
has consolidated Willi the Sanquoit Val- !
ley Gun Club, and the dual alliance Is
working wonders among the scatter
gun enthusasts.
Several thousand persons witnessed
the shooting for tlie amateur champion- j
ship of America at Travers Island on j
May 6. R. L. Spotts, who won the I
championship In 1915 with 188 breaks,
came through this time with 196 breaks
and won once more. Five other shoot- !
ers broke 190 or more targets of the
ZOO thrown.
Bradford Times, a youthful shooter of
i Atlanta, Go., won the Georgia State'
championship with 98 breaks In ICO
targets.
H. S. Welles, the professional shot,
had a string of 13-1 straight in the Key- |
|
; ed the box upside down and shook it,
i he turned it sidewise and looked into |
jit, shook it again and knocked on it]
[as if bound to make the cigars ap
[ pear. He seemed to decide that I
| had hidden the cigars, for he made a !
raid on things in general. He looked i
into the gasoline tank, he went 1
through the pockets of the catch-all, I
and scattered our guide books and
maps: then he had up the cushion of 1
the back seat and went into the com
partment where this time was our t<s- j
sortment of hats. You never saw !
millinery fly as it did in that man's
hands, with the head of the family arid |
Narcissa and the Joy grabbing at their
flowers and feathers and saying things
in English that would have hurt that
man if he could have understood them.
As for him, he was repeating steadily,
"Pas derange—pas derange," when all
the time he was deranging ruthlessly,
and even permanently, lie got t'lrough |
at last, smiled, bowed, and retired—l
pleased evidently with the thorough- !
ness of his investigation. But for
some reason he entirely overlooked I
our baks, strapped on the footboard.!
We did not remind him.—-Albert Biye- J
low Paine in Harper's Magazine.
"AirrOGRAMS."
In Farm and Fireside are the fol- I
loving facts concerning automobiles
under the title of "autograms."
"An automobile made in 1645 in !
Europe derived its power from
springs."
"Steam stage coaches were in oper- |
ation in England in 1820, but they j
were noisy and were legislated out of !
business.
"The real beginning of the auto- I
mobile business was made in America |
between 1892 and 1896.
"Cars with plenty of clearance and
equipped with oversize tires operate j
most easily on rough roads.
"Cars equipped with tire chains can 1
operate through dry snow up to 181
inches deep.
"To be thoroughly master of an
automobile know how it is made and
how to adjust and repair it.
"A well-trained horse slows down
when going around curves or ap- |
shoot, in Philadelphia, and broke
138 in the shoot at Betterton, Md.. from
\2O yards, before he missed. This we
might say is some shooting.

J Trapshooting is one thing the war
I doesn t seem to affect. The sport is

[persons becoming attached to it each
1 week.
