ARMY OFFERS PRIZES
FOR BEST AER0PLANES
To Divide $4,000 Among
Three Winners.

Observation-Disclosures having been hand
icapped for years by congress in their
efforts to keep abreast of aeronautics
in the armies Of the world, officials of
the war department at last have OBJ
tanned suitable appropriation and
have arranged important plans for de-
veloping the army aeronautic corps.
With an appropriation of $25O,OOO
available, Brigadier General George P.
Scriven, chief signal officer. with the
aid Of Lieutenant Colonel Samuel Re-
Der. assistant chief, has drawn up
plans for general competition among
American inventors and builders of
aeroplanes.
A purse Of $4,000 is announced to
be distributed among the builders of
the best three machines, each Of dis
tinctive type. For the machine of first
merit $4,000 will be paid. for the Sec
ond $4,000 and for the third $S.OOO
Part of the appropriation will be spent
In buying a score Of other aeroplanes
of the most desirable type at regular
prices. 1t is estimated that the addi-
tional machines can be bought for from
$4,000 to $1,000 each from the manu-
facturer, or possibly the army may OBJ
tain the exclusive right of building its
own machines at less cost.
The remarkable strides in aviation
made within the last few years by the
more progressive European armies
have spurred the army authorities to
the determination to build formidable
fleet of aeroplanes. The successful op-
Grafton Of aeroplanes in the recent Bal
kan wars and in Mexico has demon
strated. to their minds, the necessity
Of the American army no longer re-
naming behind those Of Europe in this
respect. The work Of the American
naval aeronauts at Vera Cruz has been
pronounced by both army and navy ex-
perts as demonstration Of their prac-
ticability and undisputed value in time

WORK NECESSARY TO
Be TENNIS CHAMPION
Girl Tells Of Training Months
= For a Single Match.

New York.-It is not an easy thing
for girl to win tennis championship.
But the hardest work is not done
around the nets while the contest is
actually on; it is keeping in physical
condition for such a match.
Miss Clare Cassel Of this city, nation
al indoor tennis doubles champion, has
compiled twelve rules which, she de.
clares, must be rigidly adhered to be-
fore one can hope to win success as
tennis player. They are: First, no golf;
second, no candy; third, no dancing;
fourth, no cigarettes; fifth, no reading
at night; sixth, no wine or cocktails;
seventh, no swimming on match days;
eighth, massage after each days play;
ninth, luncheon on glass Of milk and
a sandwich; tenth, plenty of rallying
exercise before each match; eleventh.
drinking nothing during a match ex-
cept barley water; twelfth, bed at 10
p. m. and nine full hours undisturbed
sleep.
Miss Cassel in telling of the work
necessary to keep in condition and the
strength necessary for game says:
mo matter how prime man really
is, five set match finds him all in.
He has to play harder to win-or lose
than any man who goes through nine
innings of baseball A championship
match with the players even and the
score often running to deuce games
and deuce sets will find both men ut
terly exhau" ted at the end Of the play.
It makes many more demands on the
players than two halves Of varsity
football.
And If tennis means this for men
perhaps one may imagine what it
means for women and girls. If you
play to win matches, if you long for
the brackets which proclaim you a
champion Of your club or your county
or your state, you must be ready to be
grueled week in and week out, for ten
mis- of that class is grueling game
Consider the girls and young mar
:ied women who follow the tourna-
ments from place to place all the live
long season. 1t means five months of
training and self denial, five months Of
the hardest kind Of work from June
through October. And then they must
play indoors at least twice week all
winter long if they would keep in
