catured the Briton playing table ten
mis- in his home. Society women in the
United States bought many outfits Of
table tennis for young friends for
Yuletide gifts, but it is dollars to old
chairs that nine out of ten of these
outfits are now consigned to the "obliv-

day toys.
Table tennis, strictly speaking, is not
toy game. 1t is a charming and fas-
cinating winter sport for those who
do not care 10 brave the cold outdoors.
I have been told by skilled tennis play
ers. men whose work under a broiling
sun and on grass courts is dashing,
marvellous and fatiguing, that there
is plenty of latitude in table tennis
for scientific work.
But this scarcely appears probable

OF course the promoter Of the in
gen1ous scheme to amuse the indoor
lovers has prepared "rules" for the
game. To be very brief, these rules
specify the serving Of the ball, the re-
turn, etc, just as it is done in lawn
tennis, the counting being the same.
However, the table is not divided into
courts, except by the net which is
strung across the oak or mahogany,
just as it is in lawn tennis.

Most of Charter Amend

The meeting Of the Greater Salem
Commercial Club on Monday evening
was a protracted session. marked with
warm and lively debate on a number
of the matters under consideration
With but a single exception, the report
Of the city charter commission as re-
ported TO the city council, was en-.
dorsed. The exception noted is the
proposed amendment declaring for an
elght-hour day, and fixing the wages
to be paid day laborers in the employ
of the city at 20 cents per hour This
amendment was defeated by a de.
cisive vote. The subject Of city labor
was finally disposed of by fixing a
days work at eight hours, and leav.
ing the compensation to the council.
The club endorsed the report of the
commission, as 1t relates. to the salar.
les OF the city marshal and recorder,
increasing the same from $1,000 TO
$1,000 per annum. Action of city coun.

discussion. T. b. Kay thought the
principle was wrong, in that It pro
posed to establish a scale of wages to
be paid by the city for the next two
years for day labor. Street Commits
sioner Frizzell and others voiced the
same sentiments. !. II. McNary and
n. ]. Judah made reply in support of
the amendment. and stated that con
ditlons warranted an Increase In
wages. since the cost of living had ad.
vanced materially, while the schedule
Of wages had remained practically
the same for the past five years.
stolz spoke rather tavorably for the
amended section. but failed to push It.
j. II. Albert spoke for the amendment
Further debate was defeated by John
Bayne's motion for the adoption of the
section as amended. Not over one-half
of the members of the club voted on
the question, which was defeated.
Those voting for the amendment
were J. H. Albert, N. j. Judah, j. M.

seconded by Judah and Albert.

It was the apparent feeling of the
majority of the club members that tho

mended by the charter commission.

was explained that in extending the

been, action was taken by the com.
mission with a view of Incorporating
only such territory as is practically
self-supporting. In the course of the
discussion. some statistics were given
covering the values Of the property
proposed to be annexed. The assessed
valuation Of Salem city property on
