BRAVE WOMEN.

SHOOT DURING STORM AT BISLEY.

Remarkable courage and stoicism were shown at Bisley recently by women rifleshots during a great thunderstorm which raged for two

hours.

COAL RESOURCES.

POSITION IN GREAT BRITAIN.

One effect of the coal strike, and of the Royal Commission which preceded it, has been undoubtedly to make the development of the coal industry a matter of greater concern than before, not only to the general public and its political leaders, but also to the industry itself. The effect of this heighten- ed interest in fuel problems is seen on behalf of the Fuel Research Board of the Department of Scien tific and Industrial Research, to- gether with the appended report of Dr. Lander, the Director of Fuel Rosearch.

ad-

The effect of the storm and the changing wind and light caused many targets to be missed. In the circumstances, the scores of 30 and 32 out of 50, made by Miss Dayson and Mrs. Barnes, are regarded by experienced marksmen as being most praiseworthy (says a corres- pondent of a London paper), and there is general admiration of their pluck.

RETIRED AT 99.

NOW 107 YEARS OLD.

Mr. William McCrory, of Hunter Street, Belfast, was 107 years old the other day. He is probably the oldest man in the United Kingdom.

He attributes his long life to simple diet, including porridge, oaten bread, and raw vegetables, and even now he enjoys a raw leek He is neither un ab- or onion. stainer nor a non-smoker.

Born at Ballinderry, Co. Antrim, on the anniversary of the Battle of Mr. McCrory has the. Boyne, been an Orungeman for 70 years. He began work as a road surface- man, and after 30 years came to Belfast to work at brick-making.

At the age of 78 he got work minding a winch in the shipyard of Workman, Clark and Co., retir- ing at 99.

RED JOANS.

SOVIET'S WOMEN SOLDIERS IN MANOEUVRES.

The Soviet newspaper "Izvestia" reports that women reserves, armed and equipped in the same way as regular troops, are being used for the first time in the Red army's

autumn manoeuvres.

Their training is identical with that of male reserves, and they take part in sham battles, in some dis- tricts male battalions fighting female troops.
