dav of popularity was succeeded by
an interval in which interest waned.
I,atterly there has been a revival Oh
enthusiasm as remarkable as 1t is
unusual. Lawn tennis has proven Its
ability to come bach in a manner
emphasized by contrast with bicyc-
ling and certain other once-fsvored
pssiimes that have obviously had their
day. Not only did tennis have It's
day and Is now 6aving another day
but the current revival bids fair TO
carry il farther than was the case in
the earlier era
However. this permanent popularity
OF lawn tennis is founded on the best
OF reasons. There has always been
a tendency on the part OF a portion
Of the public with no practical tensis
experience to regard the game with
a sneer or a smiling indulgence that

sion that either the tuition at art
schools must be unusually expensive
or the contributions from the board
walkers exceedingly small Some Of
the appeals are made in poetry, others
in poor jokes, while several merely
ask aid in making a living.
Even children have taken up the
art. and one boy has decided thai
something cut of the ordinary will
bring more coins to his Golfers than
the regulation picture on the beach,
so this boy is using fence and form
ing sand pictures in the boards. AS
a shower of rain ruins his pictures he
is constantly at work Now, the Am
ericsn likes action, and il is safe to
say that this boy by his continually
being at work takes in more money

The style of pictures change each
season. The earliest sand work at
Atlantic City was modelled there about
20 years ago. when young man made
a very startling model of yong wo-
man in scant clothing, with stream
ing hair, holding child in her arms.
She was lying across a sand rock and
the picture was labeled Cas- Up BY

his men to destroy the work of art.
SO the automobile OF sand went down
and the artist had no redress. DIS
couraged. but not defeated. the artist
modelled another machine this year,
even better than the one destroyed.
and il is undoubtedly the most attrac-
tive figure on the beach. This young
man, too, has made a picture of
crowd of suffragettes as he views
them. They are shown almost in a
free fight over trading stamps This
work has caused no little unfavorabie
comment, as most people think that
the suffragette movement has passed
beyond the stage Of ridicule, and the
picture has. perhaps. lost the sand
man much money.

the fashion. and cue artist made

BAN Is PLACED
ON POSTCARDS
THOSE OF THE INSULTING KIND
ARE REJECTED BY PosToF-
"a FIcE-MUcH POSTAGE
is WASTED.

From the large number of post
cards that are either thrown I'm the
waste basket or turned over to the
inspectors, II is evident that the pub
lie generally is not familiar with the
instructions that the department has
given TO postal employees. Uncle Sans
force in this department has been
over-worked for a long time i'm hand
ling legitimate busineas and social
correspondence. without being hamp-
cred by nonsensical cards. Hereafter
cards bearing pictures or messages
that are obscene, insulting or of a
matchmaking nature will not be trans
mitted, and those that are in violation
of postal laws will be turned over to
the inspectors. When the senders of
the latter are located, they will he
prosecuted, as the department is bent
upon breaking UP this practice.
The postoffice is n business institu-
tion and Uncle Sam desires to impress
upon the public that his employees are
not to be made parties to jokes and
insults. Among the latest offenders in
this respect is man signing himself
Francis Henry Faekiner of Detroit.
His favorite pastime SENS to be that
OF writing to public officials and in
timating that charges are about to be
preferred against them. Inspector Lar
mour of Detroit is said to have hum
dreds of cards i'm his possession which
experts have pronounced as the writ
ing of the said Francis Henry. He has
been convicted of several violations OF
the postal regulations. but Is now out
on suspended sentence pending an in
vestigation as to his mental condition
His relatives have agreed to see to 1t
that he commits no more such Of
fences.
Many people who mail insulting ard
irrevelant cards without signing them
labor under the impression that the
writer cannot be traced and prosecut-
ed. This is mistake for the govern
ment experts have become very pro-
ficient in identifying handwriting, and
every individual has some little pecu-

have been instructed to spare no pains

It would be well in this connection
to call the attention of the public to
the fact that money is thrown away

move to some other place.
