Inside Indianapoli¢

BILL ASHBY says if a hunter (gun) tried hunt. Jog with 8 bow wi arrow, chances are excellent s llery. And never back powder and lead. " 9 » Who is Bill Ashby? In the first place, he's a young fellow who lives with his mother, wife and young daughter in 5802 N. New Jersey St.

He's also the man who went deer hunting five _

times and has five deer to his credit. Yes, with a bow and arrow. : oo Bill, a former-state champion archer, is a member of the Indiana and National Field Archery Assoclations and Wisconsin and Michigan Bow Hunters Associations. When he begins to talk on his favorite subject, you don't have the feeling he's trying “to sell you a bill of goods lke so many avid followers of sports and hobbies. He'll talk as long ag you are interested. It's not hard, either, if you're ih his workshop where he makes his equipment,

All Arrows Weigh Same

WE STARTED out by looking at the three basic types of arrows, They are the broadhead, featuring a razor-sharp point, used for large game; blunthead, used for small game and occasionally for shooting at tin cans, and the targét arrow.

All of Bill's arrows weigh 437 grains or one ounce, Weight is an important factor in shooting. It must be kept constant since an archer, Bill says, “feels” his shots, You soon get that impression because every aluminum shaft he picks up for any reason at all; Bill twirls in his hands and mentally weighs, He said it’s a habit an archer acquires

Ping . . . five hunts, five deers is southpaw Bill Ashby's record.

A special raised spot in the end of the shaft in-| dicates to an archer the position in which the arrow is to be placed into the bowstring so the same two feathers will ride over the bow. Tricky stuff. | The safety factor in hunting with the bow and arrow was brought out by Bill.

Everything except a rhinoceros. “Elephants?” “Everything but a rhinoceros.” * “In an empty lot, Bill demonstrated his prowess, He insisted a man doesn’t shoot his best until he’s had a half hour warmup.

OAKLAND, : Cat, -Dec. T—Henry Kaiser's new low-priced car, with which he hopes to undersell Ford and Chevrolet, has been a deep secret since it left the drawing board and went to the shops. There have been some pictures of it around,

. but Mr, Kaiser has attempted to keep its size and

specifications dark until he launches the vehicle some time in late spring or early summer, according to plan. > rs . Not even the price has been settled as yet, but I believe Mr. Kaiser is shooting for a couple hundred bucks less than Ford and Chevrolet. It is Mr. Kaiser's hunch. that there is a crying need for what he calls “a hunk of transportation” among lower middle income groups, and he aims to fill it. From what I know of Mr, Kaiser's car, it will be a normal-sized sedan but will weigh approximately half a ton less than its counterpart in the other models. Its gasoline consumption is slight-—it is supposed to deliver about 35 miles to the gallon. It is a good-looking heap, but stripped of the frills and furbelows that adorn its more expensive sisters.

Free of Gadgets

IT IS FREE of the fancy chromium trim and the airplane gadgets on the dashboard and many of the other accessories which add little but interior decoration to a car. Mr. Kaiser says frankly -that he is after nothing but function in this machine, although he has made it as basically handsome, over-all, as its competitors, in streamlining and such. To satisfy the frippery-conscious customer, Mr. Kaiser's line is to include a couple of other versions, one shaped to compete with the middle-range trade, such as Dodge and Studebaker, and the other a lush operation in the Bulck-Chrysler-Oldsmobile class. . » He believes he finally has an outlay of transportation designed for every taste and pocketbook, and on this premise he hopes to beat the assumption that you can’t buck the Detroit Doyens and survive. The old ship mass-producer is working more and more toward elimination of separate parts— of which there are some 2200 in the average auto -—and a consequent cutdown of expense.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 7—The government can keep on taxing pool tables for all I care. I don’t play the game. It can put an impost on snuff, which I have given up as a bad habit. It can tax adulterated butter, filled cheese, opium, machine guns, and ukuleles. I don’t use any of em. I don’t even mind if it slaps an excise of 10 per cent on phonograph records, which I stopped buying when the manufacturers decided they couldn't dectde how fast the music should spin. What makes me a bitter man is the fact ‘that I have, to sit up late at night, working to pay my income tax and Uncle Hard Heart nicks me 20 per cent on the electric light bulb that makes this possible. He thinks maybe I should work in the dark like a mole? Or like A. Lincoln, beside a roaring fire? I suppose I could type by candlelight, but if the candle is'made of imported wax, that is taxed; too. Come to think of it, Uncle nicked me 10 per cent on my typewriter.

You Haven't Heard Anything IF THIS SOUNDS liké the small-time raving of a bad-tempered workman, you haven't heard anything yet. Congress in about four more weeks is going to get its ear bent by the maddest taxpayers yet. The subject is excise taxes, which the lawgivers put on everything they could think of (literally) to get money to help win the war. . Nobody complained. * But the shooting stopped four long years ago and the embattled ladies of this nation still are paying 20 per cent luxury taxes on their handbags. They are sore. The women’s clubs even now are rounding up delegations to tell the gentlemen of the Ways and Means, Committee that a woman's reticule is no more a luxury than her ~husband’'s pockets.
