City’s Best Shots Owe Large Measure of Skill to Authority on Skeet Charles E. Adams Given Major Share of Credit for Development of Sport; Weapons and Ballistics Form His Hobby. BY BEATRICE BLR GAN Timet Woman i Pace tdilor SKEET rapidly is becoming one of the most popular all-season sports. Because the game is so near to field conditions, it is taking the lead among shooting games. The game was developed as an informal method of practice for field shooting by means of clay targets and traps, but since it has been taken up so enthusiastically by sportsmen, it has become a keenly competitive sport to itself. Charles E. Adams has done more than any other man in developing the sport here. He has trained many of the leading shots in the city and has laid out two private clubs, those of Dr. Gayle B. Wolfe and the Crow's Nest Skeet Club, located on the Hathaway Simmons estate. Gunpowder manufacturers have said that Mr. Adams inducts the only school of its kind in the United States. He has his field on grounds of the Thompson kennel, and here he has instructed dozens of men and women in the handling and use of firearms. His course isn't planned merely to teach his students how to shoot; he sends them home at night to study ballistics. He teaches them the science of shooting, the care of guns and safety in handling them.
He not alone teaches his students skeet shooting but all varieties of wing shooting. Mr. Adams has a following of business and professional men. women and children who have put themselves into his charge. Under his tutelage they have become good huntsmen and accurate shots in trapshooting or skeet. Remakes Weapons Mr. Adams long has studied ballistics He has constructed instruments to test his guns. He fits and rebuilds guns for his students to assure them maximum comfort and efficiency in their use. For years • cientific study of shooting has been his hobby. He never shoots now; he is too busy teaching others how to manage guns. We watched him instruct Miss Mary Bradley, who is five feet tall, weighs ninety-one pounds and in three weeks has become one of his star pupils. He rebuilt her gun completely, and she is practicing daily so she may jom her brother, George Bradley, when he begins his hunting trips with the opening of the season next Saturday. Learns About Speed She has learned that the fastest! co-ordination known is required in! shooting. She has learned that she can’t fit her gun to her shoulder until she sees the target and in the one-fifth of a second required to mount her gun. the duck at which she will aim, will travel twelve feet. She will tell you glibly that the load travels 585 feet a second, while the duck travels sixty feet a second. We watched her break the targets which Mr. Adams threw at an amazing number of angles. She hit straightaways, slowly climbing up; she didn't miss them in a change to whizzing outdrops, diving and ducking. She broke them when her teacher threw them through the trees in the woods; she aimed accurately at the incomers, which rivaled the speed of ducks in flight. 1
Instructed in Safety Miss Bradley has learned how to take a gun apart and to hold all its parts in her hand, because were she in the field, she would have no place to lay the parts. She places :t gun at an angle through a tence, so that when she crawls through she may pick it up without the muzzle facing her, thus eliminating any chance of an accidental shooting She knows all about shells because Mr. Adams has cut them apart and shown her the construction; explained the process of explosion. She is learning what all Mr. Adams’ pupils are taught. He has visited schools of instruction in Europe at Southampton. London and Paris; in foreign countries one may not hunt without a license from the government and one from an instructor. Many of Mr Adams’ pupils are preparing for hunting trips. Mr. and Mrs. Fred Appel go quail hunting Mr. and Mrs. Nicholas Noyes and their sons. Nicholas- and Steve, now at Cornell university, enjoy trapshooting. Last winter William Munk hunted quail in Florida and Mrs. Munk enjoyed the sport equally well. Mr. and Mrs. Richardson Sinclair and their son. Thomas, and daughter, Dora, have learned skeet shooting from Mr. Adams. Thomas is captain of the trapshooting club at Hotchkiss school. Lakeview, Conn., and Dora is at Vassar college. Others Enjoy Shooting C. Willis Adams Sr. hunts with a faithful pair of birddogs, and George . Denny shoots at three gun clubs. Cr >ws Nest, the Indianapolis Gun Club and at Dr. Wolfe's field.

Jane Jordan will answer questions attout your most perplexing problems in this column. Put you case in a letter and read your answer within a few days. Dear Jane Jordan—My wife and I lived quite happily together for fifteen years and enjoyed together the making of a nice home, good cooking and the rearing of several children. I trusted her more than
I can tell. However, she met her clandestine lover almost two years ago and it just about ruined me. I can forgive the transgression, but she insists that she never loved me, although her earlier actions and deeds indicated that she did. We have been trying to get a solution and settle

down to life like we should, particularly because we owe it to the children. She wants us to live together and do the best we can. She has become absolutely frigid, while I am much the other way. She says she will not see her lover any more and that it is over with because she can not have him any way. He is married and has several children. She
Colonel William Guy Wall takes part in the matches at Crows Nest and hunts duck frequently with William Levis in New York. Mr. Adams knows how to judge his students and tactfully teaches them how to master overconfidence, lack of concentration and numerous other personal faults which may interfere with successful competition. After individual instruction, he prepares them for competition before crowds. Miss Bradley is no different than any other enthusiastic shot. She polishes and shines her gun as if it were a rare gem. She endured a bruised cheek bone until her gun was fitted perfectly. She is eager to get into the field for actual hunting. When the hunting season is over, she plans to take up skeet. which has angles duplicating those of field shooting.

i tells me she can not love me and doesn't want me to love her because she can not return it. She wants me to be happy and thinks it is all right for me to find another woman l for the side of life she does not care ! for. This I have done to some extent, thinking it might get her to change her mind, but it hasn't. I still love her, but am just going insane over the situation. We get along fine in every other respect, and have a high regard and admiration for each other, but I am getting disgusted and feel like running away. I am willing to regard her frigid- ; ity as a physical handicap and make the best of it. but what I can not get through my head is why she insists on not loving me. and why she can not be big enough and human enough to try to be a good sport and cast her lot with me again with the right kind of assurances as a true, faithful, loving wife, to mate the whole family happy again. Other people think we are an ideal pair. I have no bad habits and am of a nice disposition. What would you do about it if you were in my shoes? A PUZZLED HUSBAND.
Answer Sometimes a woman uses frigidity as a means of dominating a situation. This seems to be true in your case, though I only have a small part of the picture in your letter. However, I can see that the device is very useful to your wife in keeping you in a subordinate position. Her ability to turn you into a supplicant for favors which she chooses to withhold gives her a sense of power. Os course, there is something wrong with a person who gets into an advantageous position by degrading another. But since I do not have your wife's side of the story, I do not know what part you had in making her wish to hurt you. No doubt it is an unconscious wish, but its presence is revealed in her readiness to keep you in a position wihch she difirutcly knows to be painful. I do not believe at all that she never loved you. That statement is a face-saving attitude to account for unsportsmanlike conduct of which she is secretly ashamed. Unless she can represent herself as a woman in a sincere search for a major lack in her life, her ego ideal suffers too painfully. It is unthinkable u her that she could be motivated by anything so ordinary as a simple desire for sexual change, or a need for fresh stimulus. The cure Ido not know. It would take an expert some time to get at the root of the trouble and straighten things out. As long as you permit yourself to be hurt by the situation, she will continue to hurt you. H. G. Wells confesses in his autobiography that he and his wife came to a -modus vivendi” whereby he was free to seek whatever temporary alliances he chose to make whereas she elected to remain faithful to him, run his house and his financial affairs and bring up his children. The "working arrangement" was one of mutual help, companionship and friendliness from which passion wag, very soon excluded sin<* his wife, he says, was psychologically or physiologically frigid.

It is like going back to classes again, for they must take careful notes to be studied later for an examination. The principal social welfare work of the league is centered on the occupational therapy department, founded by the league at the Riley hospital. Braille is another important department of the league . Two additional new league members not in the pictures are Mrs. David Stone, a transfer from the Pasadena (Cal.) league, and Mrs. Keyes Atkins from the Memphis (Tenn.) league.

T TOW many times a heart can -*■l break! Some are early and easily hurtT* and ' Margaret’s/* 1 think, might come in such a class. For, as her letter relates, although she is only 20, she has known the pangs of unrequited love and the bitterness of seeing her sweetheart leave her for another. At 20, too, permit me to remind you, this is no flimsy pretext for sorrow, but a real grief. Nor is it wise for sages of 40 to regard it as a matter of small consequence. Only, what shall we say when the Margarets come asking for reassurance, since they are in no state of mind to accept the belief that the heartbreak of 20 is soon healed? Let us illustrate by going upon a journey. It will take but a few paragraphs to complete the round trip. The time of starting is August, 1934, and our travels take us over several thousand miles in the central United States.

Elizabeth Arden Creates New Perfume, Blue Grass,' Offered at Wasson Store I Maker of Toilet Preparations, Also Devotee of Horses, Influenced by Storied Section of Kentucky. BV HELEN LINDSAY j E'EW persons associate Elizabeth Arden with things other than the exquisite toilet preparations which bear her name. But her associates know her as an ardent lover of horses, and as the owner of a string of racers. At the last Kentucky Derby, Miss Arden attended with two members of the English nobility. She was enthusiastic about the beautiful blue grass country around Louisville, and went back to her New York salon inspired with the desire to create a perfume which would reproduce the fragrance of the Kentucky pastures in the early mornings. She examined all of her well-known perfumes. None of them seemed to her to be reminiscent of the blue grass. Her chemists were called in to reproduce the fragrance. For months they experimented, at last creating a perfume which was to be named “Blue Grass.” Even then, Miss Arden was dissatisfied. Further experiments were carried out. until at last she expressed her satisfaction with the new perfume. It was the most expensive perfume to manufacture ever produced in the Arden laboratories. Yet Elizabeth Arden was so anxious to acquaint the public with the new fragrance that she placed it on the market at a lower price than any of her other perfumes. Her associates objected r in Klanlror
we see there is enough to break the stoutest heart. Far reaches of dead prairie grass; rivers filled with sand instead of water; crops over all the vast area totally ruined. The parched leaves of the dwarfed corn crackle in the hot wind like scorched paper. In vain the beasts search for sustenance in their familiar pastures. Two months pass. It is now November, and we rice on our return journey over the same roads, but through a world wholly new and fresh. Rain has come and the land is resplendent with gold and green. Late vegetables, crops and gardens are vivid emerald while the wild flowers we thought long dead blossom on every side. Roses bloom again. Even the lilacs, most fragile of flowers, who found spring too harsh, have ventured forth, waving their purple plumes, gay and gallant banners in the autumn sunshine. The whole landscape revels in a belated burgeoning. It is as if we have entered into some far off and unfamiliar country. Thus, too, do hearts recover, Margaret. Since I have seen with my own eyes the miracle of an autumn resurrection I somehow know for sure that joy always waits for us on some bright tomorrow.

and she answered with a blanket price reduction on all of her perfumes. The new’ Blue Grass perfume is one of the features of f the Arden section of Wasson’s new perfume bar. It is shown in an artistic setting of dusty pink, chrome and black, which has been developed in modernistic design. Unique in Indianapolis is the Elizabeth Arden consultation room, built in one section of the perfume bar. Here Miss Ruth Kuhn, who has had special traihing in the Arden salon in New York, is available for appointments for consultation. Color harmony in make-up, suited to the new winter color ensembles, are worked out for individual customers by Miss Kuhn in the consultation room. Its walls are dusty pink, paneled with narrow strips of chrome, and a scalloped border of black is used around the ceiling. New Nail Polish Offered The showcases reveal many other nev; features in the Arden preparations. There are two new shades in iridescent nail polishes, for evening use. Miss Kuhn explains that all iridescent polish is to be used to cover the nails completely, with no half-moons or tips showing. “Sunburst” is anew shade of polish, which was created for use with the winter shades of green, brown and rust. For black velvet evening dresses, she suggests the use of the new silver iridescent polish. There also is anew preparation, intended for the prevention of “shiny noses.” It is a clear liquid, which is to be applied to the nose after powdering once, and then to be powdered over. New gift packages suggested for Christmas buying include boxes of guest powders, for use in guest rooms. These contain five compartments, each filled with a different shade of powder. Six tiny satin sachet bags, in assorted pastel shades, are included in another gift suggestion box by Elizabeth Arden. Cocktail Bags Shown The new cocktail bags, designed by Elizabeth Arden, are shown at the perfume bar also. These are made in various fabrics, with a gold frame around them, and open like purses. Inside are compartments for cigarets, a comb, a compact and coins. One is in jade green velvet, with a gold frame. The other section of the perfume bar is devoted to Coty’s preparations, included in which is Coty’s new “A Suma” fragrance, and the Lentheric perfumes, in which anew decanter is shown.
