"Usu ally," says he "when a trapshooter has a new-fangled idea or a sight that he wants to try out, he gives the home club boys the benefit of the test; but it remained for George Brown, of Seneca Falls, N. Y., a sea soned shooter, to try a paper tele scope sight in the Maplewood cham pionship—the classic event of the Maplewood Trapshooting Tourna ment. In this event with Brown were ten of the best shots in the East—every one a winner in a Ma plewood "100." The winning of the championship meant SIOO in gold and a diamond gold medal. It wasn't an event in which to experi ment—and besides it was raining, i Brown, however, rolled up a score | sheet to resemble a long tube and j strapped it to the barrel of his gun. j He missed four of the first seven ! teen targets thrown—more than he I had missed in any one day's shooting I all week—and then tore off the wet j tube. Brown finished the event with [ a run of 83 straight Anyone who I can break 83 straight doesn't need j paper tube sights. In the Ohio state shoot. Homer j Clark, professional shot, broke 412 ] targets in succession, 375 the first day of the tournament and 6 2 the second day before missing. Three hundred and seventy-five is the best one-day record. In point of numbers and in tar gets thrown the Maplewood shoot was all that could be desired. There were 126 shooters in competition during the week and 99,275 targets were thrown. Four of the six days were ideal: Jn fact, they couldn't have been better if made to order for the occasion. Maplewood is an ideal place for a trapshooting tournament Any pigeon In the air may be a carrier pigeon flying from a lift under government supervision. Its destruc tion may be a loss to the American Army. All persons, there fore, are "urged to refrain from shooting pigeons and to dilcourage the practice of hunters and of chil dren. Fred Plum, of Atlantic City, N. J., the national amateur # champion at 200 targets, has the honor of being the first shooter to win a 98 per cent, medal of the American Ama teur Trapshooters' Association. Shoot ing at the 2,000 targets required Plum had an average of 99 per cent ' Seven More Carloads of „ Ice Arrive Here Today Seven additional carloads of ice arrived in the city this morning. Seven fir-loads arrived yesterday, and the needs of the city have now been supplied for the last twenty four hours. It was learned from Manager DeWalt. of the United Ice and Coal Cempany, this morning. Mr. DeWalt added that unless the temperature rises to the vicinity of the 100-degree mark, the acute hsortage of Ice experienced here during tl)e last few days will not be | repeated. [ The ten-cent limit on ice was not ; imposed to-day, and householders tare securing plenty for their needs. $lO LEVY ON $2,000 SAURY ! IS NEW MOVE • Ways and Means Committee Plans Also to Tax Women's Hats and Shoes Washington, Aug. 14.—An occupa tional tax of $lO a year on every business, occupation and profession ! earning $2,000 or more a year j was adopted by the ways and means committee to-day as h new section of the revenue bill. On whole sale concerns doing a business of $200,000 or more a year the tax will be $25. The only exemptions from payment of the occupational tax are employes, farmers, clergymen and school teach ers. The tax will include lawyers, dentists, authors, engineers and ar tists. No. estimate has been received by the committee from the treasury de partment as to the amount of money the tax will produce. The committee adopted an amend ment to the section imposing a tax on leased wire and talking circuits so as to exempt from the tax the leased wires used by preis associa tions and newspapers and periodicals. The tax will still apply to brokers' private wires and circuits. The committee also adopted an amendment to the income section to provide that citizens of this country residing in Canada or other foreign countries shall pay to the county In which they reside the income tax on that part of the income derived there. The effect of this will be that Americans residing in Canada shall pay to Canada whatever may be due under the Canadian income tax regu lations. The purpose of the amend j ment is to collect the tax from a large number of Americans who have soqght to evade payment by crossing the Canadian line. Secretary McAdoo conferred briefly with Chairman Kitchin to-day and it I was arranged to have him go before the committee to-morrow afternoon to make a statement explaining the reasons for imposing a stiff war prof its tax. It is expected that Secre tary McAdoo will lay before the com mittee a great deal of the secret in formation In the possession of the treasury department showing how some of the rich profiteers have es- 1 caped. The hearing will be execu tive. After Secretary McAdoo has com pleted his statement the committee hopes to be able to reach an agree ment upon the war profits and ex cess profit section, so that the bill will be ready for introduction in the house next Monday. All of the other sections of the bill have been virtu ally completed, and the estimates from the various sources of taxation Umposed are within $500,000,000 of" the desired total of $8,000,000,000. The luxury tax section has been revised and definitely agreed upon by the committee. It is one of the most interesting sections of the bill, affect ing, as it does, a larger proportion of the population than any other schedule in the measure. Here is the full text of luxury section ds it will appear in the final draft of the bill:] "From and after November 1. 1918, there shall be levied, assessed -and collected on the consumption and use 1 of the following articles a tax equal to 20 per cent, of the amount paid in excess of the amounts specified: "Fiber carpets and rugs in excess of $5 per square yard.

In the latter piece Hodges assumes the role of a blase New Yorker, who knows his Broadway backwards, in the wilds of Egypt, where he meets up with Oriental girls and other things, and with enough complications resulting to keep laugh ter going at high tide through the entire hour and a quarter that the playlet runs. The lavish costuming of the Hodge girls is making Majestic audiences sit up and take notice. For the latter half of the week an entire new set of wardrobe w-ill be used.

Miss Talmadje. who is appealing at *ll times, is a wonderful actress, and her acting is so sincere that her Sorrows and joys are the au dience's sorrows and joys. The suc cess of "The Social Secretary" lies in its portrayals of characters that are true to life, and it's the type of pic ture that makes cine feel better for having seen it. Alice Joyce will be seen Friday only in "To 'the Highest Bidder," a story of the strange ro ! niance of a struggling girl, who j spurned gold and lived only for love, and how she reaches a victorious end.
