COPETTES AFTER DEAD EYE DICK D. C. Policewomen Busy Learning How to Handle Revolver and Rifle. BANG! "Darn It! I missed the paper square!" sound and a sentence heard frequently when the members of the woman's bureau of the Metropolitan police force, under the direction of Inspector Cross, gathered to be Instructed In properly handling a revolver or rifle. For the past three weeks the girls have been busy burning powder and slinging lead in the National Indoor Rifle Range, under Poll's Theater.

Many blunders were made when the fair markswomen first started to practice. Standing with feet about three feet apart, eyes shut tight, gun clasped tightly In both hands, and waving from one end of the rail to the othf the girls endeavored to better the amateur record for shooting at invisible objects, namely, the stage hands.

Bit Off Ballets. One girl, when she first went out. became highly indignant over the fact that apparently no lead was included in the cartridges that were furnished for target practice, since they didn't hit anything.

After that experience she again took heart, and is now one of his most promising pupils. Yesterday she made four bull's eyes and the instructor in his enthusiasm rame out from his hole in the wall and commended her very highly on her markmanship.

Coffee Prices Doubled.

Coffee prices on the New York Coffee Exchange have been advancing by leaps and bounds of late, with some options soiling at the highest level ever recorded. Since last fall have doubled. During the current month nearly 30 per cent has been with subsequent reactions. The sensational market is laid to a world famine in coffee caused by war conditions. Transportation facilities were limited so that merchants could have only 50 supply, and the price was virtually at 10 cents a pound.

Frost last fall nipped the growing crop more severely than usual, and this has been a contributing factor in the price advance. South American growers have a virtual control of the market. Upward Movement Rapid. Not since 1887, when two successive crop failures occurred, has the market moved so rapidly upward. July options, which sold at the beginning of the month at 19.30 cents a pound, rose to 24.65 cents, an advance of rents.

September was 19.13, and reached 24.55. That the trade looks for continued high prices is Indicated by December options, which sold this week at 24 cents, against 18.45 a few days earlier. Lower grades of coffee, which sold to retailers at IB to 18 cents a pound around armistice day, now cost from 35 to 38 cents. A leading brand, which sold for 28 cents then, is now 43 cents wholesale.
