In short, trapshootlng not only holds country club and yacht club memberships together during the cold days, but actually recruits addi tional strength from the numbers of outdoor devotees drawn to the clubs by the fascination of the scat ter-gun sport.

Since the pro-ally campaign in Mexico was first started by El Universal in Mexico City, the sentiment favoring the allies has reached Northern Mexico and dur ing the last thirty days a weli defined movement favoring an open break with Germany and the alignment of Mexico on the side of the entente al lies has developed. A reflection of this sentiment was seen recently in the statement of Gen eral Francisco Gonzales, acting com mander-in-chief of the northeastern military zone, with headquarters at Chihuahua. He was overcharged by the German firm of Ketelson and De getau for some padlocks. The man ager was arrested and placed in the penitentiary. The German Consul made a demand for his release "in the name of the Imperial German Govern ment and the Kaiser," according to a .Mexican official, who was present at the time. "Tell the German Consul he, the Im perial Government and the Kaiser may all go to hell," General Gonzales answered.

The bill is designed to encourage the forma tion and maintenance of rifle clubs as a part of the general defense plan and also provides that commissioners may appropriate money for the pur chase of uniforms and rifles for such rifle clubs as volunteer for county defense or who answer the call of the Governor. Beidleman Bills Signed Governor Brumbaugh to-day ap proved two amendments to the school code in the form of bills pre sented by President Pro Tern. Beidle man. One Axes the salary of county school superintendents between $2,000 and $2,500 unless school boards vote a higher figure and the other makes the minimum for as sistant superintendents SI,BOO per year. The Governor also approved the Beidleman act providing for special registration days for special elections in third-class cities. Other Senate bills approved were: Providing that companies Incor porated in the United States to hold real estate and erect buildings. Requiring counties and municipali ties to sell bonds to the highest re sponsible bidder. Permitting companies organized in other states to manufacture rubber and its products to hold real estate In Pennsylvania. Extending the malicious mischief act to protect waterworks, power plants. standpipes and reservoirs. Providing for admission of patients to the new Western Hospital for the Insane. Making $350,000 of unexpended balances of the State Armory Board available for use by the board. Borough Code Amendments Governor Brumbaugh to-day an nounced that he had approved the bill making the amendments to the borough code proposed by the State Association of Boroughs, although he believed that during its passage through the Legislature "some bad features were slipped into it," espe cially in relation to auditors and controllers. "The evident intent is to make it hot for some official," says the Governor, who adds that In other sections the language was changed to overcome vetoes of spe cific acts earlier in the session, which he considers bad practice. On the whole, however, he says he finds the provisions wise and in order to give the boroughs all the good that can be provided he approves the bill, "in the confident hope that in the next Assembly a more worthy sense of duty may cause the repeal of these obnoxious and unjust features." The bill makes a number of changes in administrative features. In approving the Senate bill pro viding for annexation of boroughs contiguous to cities the Governor also issued a statement. He says that the initiative rests with boroughs as it should, and that as he had re ceived many letters and telegrams from people desiring to be heard he issues the statement to let people know he has approved the bill. Swartz BUI Approved The Swartz bill, amending the es cheat act of 1915 by clarifying cer tain portions and regulating adver tisements and notices was approved by Governor Brumbaugh to-day. The Governor also approved these House bills: Extending the state tax on pre miums of insurance in foreign insur ance companies to companies not registered in Pennsylvania.
