"By the President of the United

"The second liberty loan gives the
people of the United Staets another

nobly to the call of the first liberty

KEEP POULTRY HOUSE CLEAN
Quarters Of Adult Fowls Should Be
Thoroughly Renovated and Sprayed
Twice Annually.

The quarters Of adult birds should
be thoroughly cleaned, sprayed ana
renovated twice annually. Many poul-

their houses bimonthly, thus insurIng
greater cleanliness. Any of the coal

As he spoke, something came hurting
down to earth.
"IIook out, boys! For Gods sake

no more keep back his involuntary

In another moment there was ter

flung them. Others had vanished as If
into thin air-ne%er to return. And
for few brief moments all was silent.
Then someone stirred in the sham

Of the timbers from the roof Of the
shattered bombproof had fallen upon
his left leg; and, weak as he was from
his injuries, he could not release it.

struggled to rise, and fell back faint

The telephone buzzer began to call
insistently. And there was one man
who heard it, Larry had been stunned
for a few seconds. How he might be
wounded he had not the slightest idea.
But that he was hurt he had not the
slightest doubt. He could barely move,
as consciousness returned to him. But
until the call of the telephone reused
him further he had been content to
lie where he fell-and rest. That sig
nal. however, spurred him to logged
effort
''The telephone! It isn't smashed!"
he cried. "Oh, God! Let me get to

told himself desperately. Come on,
Larry! You can do itr' he told kim

MANY ENTRIES IN
GRAMMAR RELAYS
Seventy Schools to Be Rep
resented in Big Games
Next Month
ENTRIES CLOSE APRIL

a record number of grammar schools are
entered in the twenty-third annual relay
race carnival, which takes place the last
Friday and Saturday of next month. Sew
enty schools are now on the list. two more
than ever before and there is still ten days
before the entries close. The entries for
grammar schools are restricted to schools
from this city, as there is not room on the
program for other outside schools of this
class Requests from grammar schools in
New York. Washington and other cities
have been received. asking Tor admission
to the races. but the management has been
compelled to refuse. Even with two days
for the meet, the program will be very full.
The Philadelphia Grammar School class
now has the following entries: Pedagogy
Practice the winners of last year, Belmont,
Blaine. Willard, Southwark, Mitchell Ken
derton and the new big school, the Stetson.
Drexel and Dunlap, originally in this class
have been transferred to one of the class
races, as they feel that they are not suffi-
cienty strong to have chance for the
championship.
The following parochial schools have to
date entered: st. Elizabeth's, Visitation,
Immaculate Conception, Cathedral and st.
stephens. This Is very poor showing
and an effort Is being made to increase
interest in track athletics throughout the
parochial schools. Michael j. Slattery who
is so prominent in A. A. U. and archdo-
cesan circles, has the matter in charge and
no doubt several more parochial schools
will get out teams These schools are re-
minded that entries close on April 1.

Form and Other Sports

Form and Other Sports
THE discussion Of form in sports brings
i up the matter of grace. rhythm and ease
in other sports aside from baseball.
The golfer with the greatest grace
from the tee to the GREEN'S Chick Evans
We know of no other who carries the same
rhythm all the way in every shot.
On the green we have seen no one with
the grace. ease and poise of Jerry Travers
His putting stroke is the last word in
rhythmiCal display. Ouimet Is another
golfer with natural grace, but the Bos-
tonian gives more the impression Of power
than ease. Kirkby is another golfer whose
long game especially is to be noted for its
rhythm and beauty Of execution.
In England the two golfers noted for
their grace of al-around play were the
late Jack Graham. killed in France, and
George Duncan.
There isn't golfer in the game who
surpasses Evans In the ease and symmetry
of his iron play.
Among the pros. Jim Barnes has su-
pcriors in this line, but in the main they
go in more for crispness and power than for
ease. Mike Brady is another whose game is
replete with rhythm.
Tennis
II would be hard to find a greater COM
bination of grace and power than Maurice
Mclaughlin, serving as he did three years
ago against Brookes and Wilding.
There was a mixture of smash and SYM
metry to his play that has never been
equaled Both Norris Williams and Will
liam Johnston, the two present-day leaders.
have an ease and sureness of motion that
are part of the highest form.
Football
Football brings more the impression of
power and speed than grace. Yet it would
be harder to imagine a sight with finer
rhythm or symmetry than Eddie Mahan
starting back through a broken field after
handling a long punt.
Mahan turned running into poetry. minus
any touch of the vers libre attachment.
John Reed Kilpatrick's end play at Yale
brings back remembrances of grace and
symmetry as well as power.
Among the old-time ball players, the
grace of Jimmy McAleer is remembered
beyond that of any other while the leading
rhythm and dash of a throw across the
diamond belonged to Harry Steinfeldt, with
Monte Cross not very far behind.
