Four hundred years later we find that the law abiding citizens must carry firearms to protect themselves and their property against unlawful seizure by thieves, robbers and murderers. The past year r for big has been a robberies and murders and there are some people who are laying the blame to firearms. In fact, several attorneys got together in the east and are formulating a bill or have already presented one to congress to prevent the sale of firearms in this country. These attorneys claim such laws will check all record-breake- crime. Have these attorneys been asleep or have they just come over from the other side? Would it not be much better to arm every law aviding citizen and make a general clean-upIf the gun is responsible for crime, why was there so much respect for law and order in the days of the pioneer when everybody carried a 45 on his hip.

No, Mr. Attorney, if you will do your duty at the bar we need not change the Constitution of the United States. We can even go to church with our guns as in former days when people had respect for all laws. Then again comes the thought to the average American that European propaganda is at work to disarm this country. For many years past our marksmen have won all championships in open competition, at home and abroad, with revolver, shotgun and rifle, and our soldiers are the be3t in the wTorld. Why? Because 99 out of every 100 boys can shoot a gun when ten years of age. A national law prohibiting the sale of firearms would do away with our pistol and gun ranges, and it is up to the boys to get together to see that law is never placed such a upon the statute books of this country. New York state has such a law and it just about takes the lead in crime. The press reported about ten killing and shooting scrapes there on new non-sensic- al years day. Scotland Yard detective even vocates the taking away of pistols from the police. What a lovely time we would have? What an easy time Jack Dempsey would have if he turned robber.

The coming season looks like an off year and a majority of the racket boys and girls wil content themselves with their home and national contests. Mrs. Molla Mallory, the American woman champion, has lately announced that she would not enter for the championships at Wimbledon the coming season, which will disappoint tennis enthusiasts of the world.

Last year she defeated our Molla in a fast game, and while Molla congratulated the victorious French girl for being the best player of the world, yet there were rumors from the side lines that Molla did not play up to her standard, and while the result might not have been different had she been in perfect condition, Mile. Lenglen would have had a much harder contest to wrin the title. The United States Lawn Tennis association announces that it will not send a team to compete in the British championships, and some gloom arises as to Americas success in the Davis cup matches. Bill Tilden had a finger taken off his best hand which may eliminate him from the contests, leaving Bill Johnston, Vincent Richards, and Dick Williams to hold up the colors of America.
