fashions by which 1t is expressed.
In other words, We are grating an
obsolete lot of marriage customs and
sentimentalities onto the growth OF
a highly different environment. The
home is actually no longer what 1t

With a tally of III last night in the
Star headpin tournament on the Iro-
duois alleys, George Roth, of Irving
ton, assumed first place in the in
dividual competition in the big bowl
ing competition being conducted by
The Star. His mark of Ill exceeded by
one pin the 10 made recently by
Jack Wanstall, of the Clark o. n. T.
aggregation. Roth got one of the
gold watchfobs which The Star
awards to all those who have marks
of 110 or better, and he also took the
lead in the competition for the dia-
mond watchfob which is presented by
The Star at the end of the season
to the bowler who has the highest
score during the tournament.
Milton MacNamee, of the Tuxedo
Counts, of Elizabeth, was second high

made in spite of a miss in the very
first frame. To MacNamee went one
of the silver watchfobs which The
Star presents to those who have
scores of 100 and less than ITO. After
MacNamee had recorded his miss he
had a good hit for nine pins and fol-
lowed with a strike. Then came an
other strike and hit for seven pins
was next in order. Five strikes in
a row then came along and hit
for eight pins, which brought the
score in the eleventh frame to a..
MacNamee made an excellent wind

Roth hit the headpin twelve times
in row in getting his score of Ill.
He knocked down all the pins with a
strike for a starter and then had
good hits for nine and eight pins re-
spectively. Then followed a string of
four strikes and pair of mines was
followed by another strike. In the
last two frames eight pins went down
with each ball.
There were lots of tallies "in the

Tuxedo Counts of Elizabeth, just
missing the acquisition of fob.
