form in the manner Of playing tennis in
his country.
The flood tide of better mana cement and
playing qualities has set in with a rush
this season. Probably in no previous year
have so many of the players jealousy
couued the book of the rules with the de-
termination to observe and enforce them.
A criterion for Illustration, has been the
playing of the Felipe challenge cup singles
and the Manhattan doubles upon the courts
II the New York Lawn Tennis club dur
ng its eighth annual tournament which
ended recently. Never has this important
meeting been better managed in all de-
ourtments. Umpires sat in the chairs for
each match and scoring books were used
80 that there might be no possibility of
error.
Efficient llnesmen did duty and did it
well. Indeed a high water mark has been
achieved which is indicative of what may
)e accomplished when the Americans
thrive for the uplifting OF the game. The
only criticism which might be made. and
which has been spoken of, touches upon
the .lateness of starting play in the after
1oons, but In extenuatlon of different cir
,umstances 1t must be remembered that in
his country nearly all the players are en-
gagged in business, and cannot take their
places upon the courts earlier in the day,
The three tournaments Immediately pre-
ceding this one, the Long Island champion
ship, the Middle Atlantic States at Wash

iucted upon the same high plane and with
he same excellent results.
The one thing that has been developed

CRrMP IN SUMMER BALL PLAYERS
Dig Eight Adopt Rule which il Ex-

CHICAGO, June 9.-The members of the
faculties of the Big Eight colleges forming
the Western college conference have passed
a rule which they hope will be a step to-
ward a solution of the question of summer
ball playing by members of college teams.
This plan, proposed by Athletic Director
Stage of the University of Chicago, pro-
vides that every player who wishes to play
during the summer months shall file i'm
mediately his name and the name of the
team with which he intends to play, The
proposal was adopted unanimously and is
now a law of the conference. Coach Stage
does not believe that this will cure the
summer ball evil, but, as he says, the meas
ure is for the purpose of gaining a general
understanding of what each college player

AMATEUR ROWING REGATTAs
Two Big Ones Coming On Soon in New
England Waters.

England Waters.
BOSTON, June 2O.-The amateur oarsmen
of New England are ali on edge over the
prospect of two big regattas coming to
them this summer, the national regatta to
be held on the Connecticut river at Spring
field during the second week in August and
the New England Rowing association
meeting, which is to be held on the Charles
river at Boston on July 4. The COMMITTEES
in charge of the national event have been
working hard to assure the meeting OF sue
cess, and up to the present time they have
succeeded in gathering in subscriptions to
the amount OF $500, with several more of
good size promised them, Also the commit
tee has received word from the Treasury
department at Washington that two or
more revenue cutters will be detailed TO
police the course and keep motor boats
from interfering with the oarsmen.
There is much disappointment over the
fact that Frank b. Greer, formerly the ma
tional champion single sculler, will make
no attempt to win back the title. Greer
has decided that his rowing days are about
over and will probably never take part in
another national regatta His last appear
aRee was at the regatta in Philadelphia
last August, when he was badly defeated

pleted and the authorities are now await
ing the decision OF Mayor Hibbard I'm re-

Rowing association for the customary city

These have been given in round figures,
without taking decimals into account, in
order to facilitate measurements, and as
they are the maximum, no allowance Will
be granted. Cars in running order, but
without water, gasoline, tools or spare
parts, must weigh at least 2,424 pounds
100 kilos). This weight of 2,424 pounds
will include oil for the motors and for
the transmission. Every agent of oXida-
ton, other than atmospheric air, is for

Thus we give you a roomy and
elegant five-passenger car-not a
car that looks cheap because small.
Weight 1000 pounds, which
means a low tire cost, a low cost
of upkeep. Power 24-30 h. p
sufficient for any requirement.
Speed As to so miles per hour.
Now let us compare the mechan-
ical features with some high-priced
cars.
The four cylinders are cast to-
gether, as in the latest Fiat, the
Darracq, and a score of great for
eign cars. Our factory cost on
this engine alone is 1851. Yet A.
cylinder automobile engines are
sold as low at SIS.
We use the Unit Power Plant,
as in the new Decauville, the Motto
bloc and others. Motor, clutch and
transmission form a single unit, so
they cannot get out of alignment.
The body is suspended, for easy
riding, after the style of the Mer-
cedes. The valves are like those of
the Napier. The y Elliptic Springs
are like the Renault and others.

Note that this car is not an ex-

We have worked for over two years
in p~erfecting it. Three of the new
cars have been run over 1000
miles.
Designed by Mr.. H. e. Coffin,
our vice-pTesident, for years the
chief designer of the Thomas
Companies. He is recognized as
the leading automobile designer in
America.
Mr.. Coffin made two trips to Eu-
rope, to combine in this a the
best foreign features with the best
American. He has thus made 1t
the typical car of today.
The lines are handsome, yet con-
sentative. The car follows, in this
respect, the leading cars of the
year. The finish and upholstering
are the same as are found in cars
costing double this price.
The wheel base is 10 inches

braces the articles of a permanent Of

EGYPTIAN MUMMIES.

To the Editor OF the Evening Star;
Why were the Egyptians so careful
in preserving the bodies of the dead?
G.. e. b.
[Egyptoegists have discovered that
the preservation of the body was
deemed essential to the resurrection or
the dead. According to the teaching
of the Egyptian priests the living mar
consisted of a body, a soul, an intel-
ligence n an appearance called "Ka.'
Death separated these -four parts,
which must ultimately be reunited for
all eternity. Between death on earth
and life everlasting there INTERVIEWED a
period of several thousand years, dur
ing which season the soul performed a
probationary pilgrimage through the
underworld. The body, in order that
it should await, intact, the return or
the soul. must meanwhile be guarded
from all corruption.-Ed.1
