There's a happy smile Of pleasure
There's nss a catch ws Of Of careless laughter
AS the airy wings Of chance,
Mystic In their necromance,
Swing her hither
SWAY her thlther,
AS she plays in the maze
OF the Joyous tennis days.
Shaded lights and last waltz out on
the battle hallowed courts, laughing
aood-bye. one last rush for the car and
tennis week Is over.
This year, as always, tennis week.
has been the feature Of the summer.
It has become to most a tryst pas
sion. Every year the chosen ones come
together. drawn by the compelling love
Of the sport, to lay small wagers upon
the favorites, and later beg cup of tea

It is not everyone who would care to
do as she has done this year-make he
roic efforts to keep the championship
tournaments on the Santa Monica
courts, and, failing, do her best to help
rival club entertain.
The belle of tennis week" Is hard
to pick. On the courts the choice un-
doubtedly lies between Mrs. Farquar'

This year tennis week" contained
only one "society function"-the dance

Country club courts were swept and
covered with canvas for the dance. As
a fitting climax for brilliant week the
tennis dance" was the most elaborate
social event of the year, not even ex-
cepting the majors stag party. The
trophies of the tournament were duly
awarded, and when that rite was ac-
complished the inner circle unbent just
a little toward those outsiders who
come down simply for the dance and
see no enjoyment in the rest of ten
mis- week. Members of this inner cir

satisfaction with the prosperity and pros
poets of those islands
The Porto Ricans are in fine fettle and
mighty glad that they are In line for a
share of American prosperity" he said.
They have fine crop of sugar this year,
which they will market in this country
and which will bring them in ready cash.
They are rapidly making a market for their
coffee, which will take rank with the best
grades of coffee produced in the world,
and they are improving their tobacco. The
Iorto Ricans seemed happy and contented,
as they should be, for the future seems to
be very bright for them under American

Cuba is prosperous, too, and enjoying
its newfound freedom and opportunities
for progress. l visited the American naval

with our acquisition at that point. 1t is a
good harbor and certainly will prove 20

vided the United States with that naval
station, and l have no doubt that Guam
tanamo will prove to be one of our most
valuable acquisitions in West Indian wa
ters.'

FURTHER PETROLEUM TESTS.
to Be Conducted on Tor.
pedo Boats at Newport.

By direction of the bureau of equipment Of
the Navy Department further tests are to be
conducted on torpedo boats at Newport with
solid petroleum fuel when coal will be add
ed with view of determining to what ex-
tent it may be used with the petroleum

by the naval authorities to prevent torch
ing as the issue of flame and sparks from
the smokestacks is termed, since that be-
trays the presence of torpedo boats at night
to an enemy. The combustible with which
the experiments have been conducted is said
to be 95 per cent petroleum. 1t also is pro-
posed to ascertain with what facility it may
be handled as compared with COAL
Naval experts here have observed that it
has been demonstrated by the war in the
far east that an important field for torpedo
boats is in the nighttime. 1t Is disclosed
that the sparks thrown from the smoke
