Iu Pont Hand Trap Reduces Trap
Shooting- to Simplicity
The reduction of Gun Club equipment
to dress suit case capacity in the form of
the Du Pont hand trap, is just the impet
uous trap shooting has needed to make
enjoyment of the "sport alluring" gen
eral. Briefly this little machine brings
the sport always within your reach where
before the time required to go to and
from it often corresponded exactly with
the time at your disposal. Further this
new device introduces the individual
element with its never ceasing facina
tion in any and all. conceivable com
binations, and it comes as near to
actual brush shooting conditions as it is
possible to bring an artificial target.
The rising flight of the woodcock, the
swift get-away of the quail, the ripping
quarter of the grouse, the down-the-wind
cross-cut of the duck, or the flashing
overhead of the pigeon, not to mention
upside-down twisters and incomers,
f Your ' ' Gun Club ' ' is, indeed, now a
part of your outfit, and all outdoors
is opportunity!

line of mail steamers between American
ports, Hawaii and Australasia. Upolu
and Savaii are the German islands, while
Tutuila, and its adjacent small splotches
of green are possessions of the United
States. The German possessions have
been, temporarily, at least, wrested from
her. The soils of this island group are
luxuriantly fertile, and copra dried
cocoanut is produced here in large quan
tities. Tropical fruits, yams, arrowroot
and other agricultural products are
brought forth in abundance. If "It is,
however, as a strategic port of call, an
advanced harbor in the Orient, that Ger

South Sea possessions. For a time the
Samoan Islands were under the control of
