jectives to spend on one of the other

Red Tape.

A I dinner in New York during his
disastrous American visit Henry
Farman, the aviator. complained of the
American customs regulations
with their affidavits. declarations ex-
aminations and what not said Mr. Far
man, there is too much red tape about
your customs. A man gets lost in all
this red tape, as they say foreigner
was once lost in the red tape of the
British post office.
This foreigner stood. one luckless
evening, before the newspaper box in the
London post office. The box has a huge
mouth. Newspapers are thrust into it in
bales AS the fnquisitive foreigner bent
over it, Il bale of newspapers struck his
shoulder. and with dull thud he fell into
the box.
His friends ran round to the counters
to rescue him. The clerks, however, paid
no attention to their demands. The for
eigner was in the mail box. Accordingly,
they would treat him mail matter.
And the clerks sravely stamped him
on the stomach and threw him in a COM
partment along with the provincial news
papers.
The unfortunate mans friends went to
the chief The chief listened calmly to
their tale. Then he said:
Was your friend addressed?
No they replied.
Very WE'LL said the chief. The mat
ter is simple. He will remain for six
months in the bureau. At the end of
that time if no one applies for him, he
will be burnt as dead letter.

After the third bet she changed the ma

After the fourth bet she decided to
pick out an imported dressmaker on 9th

wealthy enough to go there in a cab
Soon came the awful awakening, and
she had to put the dress back in the

BEGINNING JULY 27
TRANSFERRED FROM VENICE BY
CONSENT OF PLAYERS
Courts at Hotel Virginia, Finest on
Pacific Coast, with Excellent Wind
Shields, Prove Deciding
Argument

At a recent meeting of the South
ern California Lawn Tennis associa-
ton it was decided to hold the annual
tennis finals for the championship OF
Southern California on the courts OF
the Hotel Virginia, Long Beach, in
stead of at Venice, as in former years
Play In these finals will commence
July 81.
In making the decision, the mem
bers of the association took into CON
sideration the convenience of having
hotel nearby for the players, also the
excellent windbreaks which the man
agement of the Hotel Virginia had
erected around the courts, this adding
the finishing touches to what tennis ex-
perts have called the finest courts on
the Pacific coast. The meet will be
under the personal supervision of Tom
Bundy, 8. M. Sinsabaugh, A. c. Way
and CHARLES Hopper, secretary Of the
Automobile Club Of Southern Cali
