Teaching Girls to Play
a Regular Tennis Game

One should be able to handle a racket
and a ball before going on a court to
play a game of tennis; the shifting Of
weight, footwork, correct grip. cor
rect position, correct form, all should
come first inc counting last. The first
step is to give to each girl a racket
and a ball, telling her to grasp the
then places the ball on the racket and
losses 1T into the air. Upon its return
she knocks it into the air again, keep
ing at this job until she can keep the
ball in the air for at least twenty-five
strokes. Given a space on the wall
against which she can knock the ball,
she is told to hit the ball much as be-
returning it on the bounce. Standing
at a distance of about fifteen feet from
the pupil the instructor losses the ball
(by racket, preferably toward the
pupil so that In returning 1t she must
run slightly to the right and make
some effort to reach the ball.
This gives her q clean swing for the
racket. And, she will judge the ball
better. Her only attempts should be to
toss the ball lightly back to the in
5tructor, who should catch 1t and then
serve another in the same place. The
pupil should learn at this time that
handle and lea of the racke should
move at the same speed, and that the
same face of the racket is used in all
cases, causing the pupil to use what
some authors call the american"
feasible and sensible for a woman. To
keep the wrist ack of the ball is GER
tainly better mechanics than to have
il in front.-Outing.

SOAP IS BAD
FOR THE HAIR

Soap should be used very SPAR
ingly, If at all, if you want to keep
your hair looking it's best. Most
soaps and prepared shampoos con-
tain too much alkali. This dries
the scalp, makes the hair brittle,
and ruins 1t.
The best thing for steady use Is
just ordinary mulsiied cocoanut
oil: (Which Is pure and greaseless)
it is cheaper and better than soap
or anything else you a use.
One or two teaspoonfuls will
cleanse the hair and scalp thor
oughly. Simply moisten the hair
with water and rub it in. 1t makes
an abundance of rich, creamy
lather, which rinses out easily, re-
moving every particle of dust, dirt,
dandruff and excessive oil. The
hair dries quickly and evenly, and
it leaves the scalp soft, and the
hair fine and silky, bright, l%ustrous,
fluffy and easy to manage.

afternoon. George N. Book is the
Harrisburg man and Frank B. Wick

The trustees officially decided to
erect a new preparatory building at a
cos tot $50, 900, $4,000 of which Presi-
lent Granville reported has already
been subscribed. The question of
cahnging the name from Pennsylvania
to Gettysburg College vas discussed,
but it was decided to retain the present
name, Pennsylvania College. Among
the commencement speakers were Tai
colt Williams, dean of the journalism
school of Columbia University, and
President John Henry McCracken. of

been debated for a number of years
and the progressive element in the de-
nomination consider this action a
great victory for the future success
and enlargement of the church.
Another important question for final
settlement, coming as a petition from
churches in Northwestern Kansas, was
the decision on dress regarding wear
ing of fashionable neckties. This sub
ject also created an animated discus
sion by a number of the delegates. 1t
was finally decided that eve though
the church had not previously speci-
fed hat article of dress, yet it was
the sense of the conference that the
wearing of a necktie is absolutely un-
necessary and that it is only a garment
Of adornment.
A number Of other petitions were
considered, but deferred for another
year, while several were respectfully
returned"

was conducted by Miss Elizabeth
Kline, of Elizabethtown. These SER
