HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS
Many of Them Tripped over Test
Questions.

Aberdeen, Jan. IA series of
test questions involving the identifi-
cation of certain officials. the author
of certain works, the location of Ger
tain places, the inventors of certain
articles. etc, were given to the sen
Tors of the Aberdeen high school TO
answer off hand without resorting to
reference works or other sources of
information, and on the whole the
seniors covered themselves with
glory. the percentage of correct an
swers being large. The average per
centage OF correct answer was 60,
with SO as the low mark. One of the
surprises of the examination were the
answers to the question, who wrote
Benjamin Franklin's autobiog-
raphy?" Twenty-seven of the sixty
one seniors missed this, three giving
Washington Irving the credit and one
Oliver Wendell Holmes. In response
TO the question, "Who received the
ten commandments" some said Alb
raham, some the disciples and some
Joseph, though the majority gave
Moses credit for that. Nearly every
body knew who Mary Pickford is, but

WILL NOT ELECT
WEST VIRGINIA WILL NOT NAME
PRIMARY DELEGATES ON
JUNE q.

Watertown, Jan. 11.-Gov. III. ID.
Hatfield, of West Virginia, in re-
Spouse to a letter of inquiry by War
rem c. Baker, of this city, writes that
West Virginia will aot attempt to
elect delegates TO the republican ma
tional convention, converting in Chi
cago June I, at the West Virginia
state primary to be held on June o.
The date for the West Virginia and
South Dakota primaries is identical,
June o. National Committeeman
Charles Il. Burke. of this state, has
maintained that the delegates from
South Dakota TO the national conven
ton could be elected June g., and that
the eturns could De ~canvassed. by
special arrangement in time for them
TO be seated at Chicago the next day.
Mr.. Burke himself has said in two in
terviews that the conclusive argu-
ment in favor of his contention is
that West Virginia must and will
elect her delegates on June 6, and
that if West Virginia al do it. South
Dakota can do likewise. 1t appears.
however, from Gov. Hatfield's letter
that West Virginia is not eve going
TO attempt to choose the delegates on
June 6, but that they will be named
at a state convention In May, which
will meet for the purpose of nominal
ing candidates for the state supreme
court. Following is Coz. Hatfield's
reply 10 Mr.. Baker:
II am glad to give you the infor-
nation requested in regard TO West
Nirginia's representation at the re-
publican national couseLtion. The
state primary law. passed at the last
session of the legislature. of 1915,
provides that delegates to the nation
al convention may be selected by di-
rect vote in the statewide primary,
which will be held on the first Tues
day in June. However, that date is
June 6, and inasmuch as the national
convention convenes In Chicago Oh
June Z, an effort is being made at the
present time to arrange so that dele.
gates to the national convention Will
be chosen by a state convention to
b. held some time during the month
of May, which is for the purpose OF
nominating judges of the supreme
court. No definite arrangement to
that end has been made, but 1t seems
to be generally satisfactory TO all the
leaders of the party in this state, and
| have no doubt that the delegates
will be selected in that manne as
there seems to be no good reason why
such could not be carried out

SWELL TENNIS SEEN
IN FINALS ROUNDS OF
LOCAL TOURNAMENT
McWane Finds Hard OppO-
sitiOn in Robertson.
Good Matches in
Doubles

The best matches of the Young Men,
Christian association tournament were
played yesterday afternoon. The courts
on Twenty-fourth street were in good
condition and fast tennis was in evidence
in every match. The tourney has reached
the semi-finals and the rivalry between
the players is growing very tense.
In the singles, the dope was almost
upset in the match between Hewitt Smith
and Aderhold Aderhold took the first
set in rather easy fashion by the score
of g. and had his opponent Al in the
second set. AT this point, young Smith,
with defeat almost staring him in the
face, showed that he was a fighter of the
frst-class, and after great rally, took
the second set by the score of TO. Again,
in the third set, he overcame a lead Of
5-S and won the third and deciding set
by the score of TO.
Davis easily defeated Parks, 6-3, 81,
completely outclassing his opponent Nc
Wane encountered a tarter when he met
Robertson McWane took the first set,
7-5, but lost the second set ST, and the
score stood 40 against him in the third
set, but at this point he summoned all
of his reserve tennis tactics and won
the set Ga.
Mccoy met and defeated D. L. Smith
rs and 60. Smith put up a game fight
in the first set but McCoy's drives daz-
zled him in the second.
Brooks and LANCE VS.. Bremen and
Warren staged titanic struggle in the
doubles when they played the first match
of the semi-fnals. Brooks and Lange
started out as if to win the match in
three sets, and had won the first two with
little opposition, but at the beginning of
the third set they were swept off their
feet by the brand of tennis that War
rem and Drennen were handing them
The first part of the match was featured
by the clever playing of Brooks, who
back-hand was working very effectively
and the smashing at the net by LANCE
DR.. Drennen seemed to improve as the
match progressed and when darkness in
tervened he was smashing the ball ter
rifically Warren played up to his record
as being one of the headiest players of
the Birmingham district. He was quick
to take advantage of any opening offered
by his opponents. The third and decid-
ing set will be played this afternoon
