Thurston is a divorce lawyer. When
one day expressed wish that he
should devote himself to some other
calling he told me the following story:
A couple one day came into my office
to ask me If / would not get divorce
for them. There was every reason,
judging from appearance, why they
should not be divorced. The man was
twenty-five or twenty-three years old,
the woman about twenty, and she car
ried a child In her arms perhaps a

They were of the poorer class, as was
indicated by their dress.

The wonderful record
made by Diamond Tires last
year proves that they are
right sructurally.
1t proves that the materi-
ais we put into Diamond Tires
have the weight, strength and
wearing qualities thatcombine
to give the most economical
mileage in actual service.
Recently we conducted a
test by mail to find out what
iobbers and tire dealers had to
say about 1914 Diamond Tire
records. The hundreds of let
tiers received from them show
that Diamond Tires have more
than made good.
These letters from dealers in
all parts Of the country, show that
Diamond Tires in 1914 established
a service record which stands
supreme. We have put these let
tiers into a book. They furnish con-
crete evidence Of the big mileage

BOYS RULES USED;
CROWD APPRECIATIVE
About $50 People Saw Game
in the Church Street
Gymnasium

Last evening at the Church street
gymnasium before crowd numbering
$50, the Spaulding high school girls has,
ketball team defeated the Hardwick
academy girls basketball team from
Hardwick by a score of 10 to 6. The
game was exceptionally clean and at
times the girls did some fast playing
The close guarding by both sides was
very noticeable, and it was this part
of the playing that was responsible for
the small score of the teams.
Evelyn Rugbee was the star player for
the SpauIding five, getting total Of
three baskets from the floor and cagng
two out Of the four fouls This made Il
total of eight points out of the ten that
were made by Spaulding. Miss Mum
roe, the Hardwick left forward, was their
best player, and she succeeded in getting
two baskets from the floor.
Miss Common, the fast forward for
Spauding, was the first to score, doing
so before the game had hardly started.
The ball was tossed at center and Miss
Bugbee got it after the Jump. On u
neat pass to Miss Conner it was thrown
in. The guarding was so close that lit
tie passing was done by either side, but
Spaulding was somewhat more skilled in
this line. In the first period Miss Bug
bee got two OF her three baskets and one
foul. Miss Munroe Gagged both of hers
in this half. The guards for the Hard
wick team played an excellent game Gov
ering their opponents at all times and
breaking up a number OF passes.
In the second half the Spaulding girls
did not shoot as much as in the first.
The Hardwick team had more shots but
failed to make them count Each side
got one basket from the floor in this
half Miss Bugbee scored first, sending
in one.handed shot from the center OF
the floor. bringing a loud cheer from the
crowd. Miss @, Davis scored the Hard
wick basket on a neat shot after a clev
er pass. Miss Wiles, the Hardwicll CEN
ter, played a fine game, but was closely |
guarded by Miss Hooker. Miss Hooker |
played fast game for Spaulding and
succeeded in passing the ball into the
Spaulding territory a number of times. |
Miss Wallstrom went into the game at
the beginning of the second period, tax 1
ing the place of Miss Sowden at right /
guard. Both Miss Wallstrom and Miss /
Sowden were good at guarding. Miss /
Langley, the Spaulding left guard, was a /
good help to the team and succeeded IN
getting away with the ball number
