FIREARMS EXPERT HERE_
I World-wide big game hunter, a
better artist with a gun than many
a man with a pen, cooler than a
piece of ice with a camera before
roaring denizens of the African
jungle, come3 into our midst, a
long loose-jointed individual who
is here in the interest of Reming
ton -guns end ammunition and tho
nationally known Peters cartridges
and shells. His name? Oh, yes...
Gus Perot, and a more interesting
man you would not want to meet.
A personal friend of Major
Nelson, assistant executive officer,
of the U.S. Army round-the-world
flyers and Eugene DuPont, well kno
wn powder executive, he is able to
tell a wealth of startling facts
about planes, guns and wild animals
as we11 as unfold many a wierd talc
of darkest Africo, as he has made
many a ’"’safari" in that continent.
An outstanding exponent in tho
art of disarming armed criminals
and the use of the rifle, etc., he
|will give a demonstration of this
art at the Naval Base today. He hasj
|also volunteered to show a few of !
;his tricks to our local law-enforc
ement officers, Marshall Horring
and his deputies, they’re good too,
[for ho has taken guns away from the
best of members of the New York
[Polico force.
Of particular interest to
sportsman is the .475 calibre No.2
iCaliborod elephant gun ho has with
dim. It shoots a shell the size of
a baby torpedo and is 500 grains,
travelling at a spped of 2250 ft.
per sec. and striking with a ton
blow.
Questioned about a fight bet

says" I’ll put my dough on the
Kod iak b e ar any t ime ” .
