Tabor School Notes.

The School Board has ordered
some excellent equipment for the
various rooms and we feel sure
the pupils and teachers will appre
ciate it when it arrives.
The noon intermission is one
hour and fifteen minutes in length
so that each and every child should
have time to get back to the
school grounds without being tar
dy. We hope the parents will see
to it that the children start direct
" for the school grounds as soon
as dinner is over.
D
This week closes the first month
of the school year. The work is
moving off nicely and in most
cases very creditably. W. are
sorry to say however, that there
are a few pupils that will need to
be denoted and still a few who
are to be retained in their present
grades for a little longer proba
ton. We hope that every pupil
will be able to make his or her
grade. This hope can only be rea
lized when the pupils in the ques-
ton get down and study in the
proper manner. The boy or girl
who violates the city curfew regu-
lations cannot hope to pass in his
studies.
There are still several children
Of proper school age who are not
in school and who SO far as we are
able to learn have no lawful ex
cuse for staying out. We hope
the parents Of these children will
see to it that these boys and girls
are started to school promptly.

Mary in physique The Norweg iar
girl seems absolutely tireless. Nc

seems TO tire her. And that asset has
won SO many matches for her in the
past Realizing that her endurance
powers are far greater than the ma
tortty of her rivals. Molla always
aimed to make the early pace so fast
and so terrific that soon II would ex-
haust the foe And then Molia. still
unwearied. would smash her way
through to victory.
II Mary Brown had Molla Blur
stcat's powerful build and her superb
stamina. feel certain that Mary
could conquer the majority Of the
masculine wizards"
The little California girl arst
flashed into view back in 1911
through her brilliant playing on the
Pacific coast. The following year
ilsi2--she won not only the national
singles championship, but triumphed
in the national doubles. teamed with
Miss d. Green and followed those vic
tories TN the same year by winning
the national mixed doubles with r.
Norris Williams as a partner. She
won all the championships il was
possible to win.
In 1919 and again In 1914 she con-
tinued along her triumphant career,
again winning the national singles
national doubles and mixed doubles.
OnB one other woman in American
tennis history-Miss H Hotchkiss-
ever equaIled that feat. And Miss
Hotchklss achieved her triumph in
the era before tennis had developed

IL was in 1915 that Molla entered
the national single cham pionship and
swept everything beforeFher. In 1915
she duplicated her triumph--but she

those matches. The little California
girl tired" a bit from the strenuous
activities OF 1912. 1913 and 1914 and
went into semi-ret!remeut and de-
clned to enter the champ ionship
matches OF the past two years.
The first meeting OF the two girls
was on November 81. 1915. when
Mary was coaxed into d match with
Molla--and went down to defeat.
But not an inglorious one. Mary won
the first set Ga, lost the second So.
and also the third ga. In that match
1t was Mollas spendld endurance
powers pitted against Mary's skill
and Molis won. Molla had caught
Mary unawares.
Ihey met again in Los Angeles on
March 10. 1917-and the tables were
turned. Mary remembered Molla's
tactics--her terrific pace setting. So
Mary prepared in advance--spent a
long time building up strength and
stamina 10 cope with the Norwegian
girl. And it was Mary who was the
aEgressor in that second match. She
won the first set rs, and so furious
was her playing that she wore down

TAElEh BANKRUPT;
Victor LARGE CREDITOR

Alexander Thelen. proprietor of the
East Grace street. filed a petition ia
bankruptcy yesterday. giving his
assets as amounting to s7,Ss9.66 and
listing his liabilities at s7ss7.5s,
claiming the sum OF s1.l4s as exempt.
An interesting feature of the bank
ruptcy papers is that IL names as one
OF the principal creditors f. X. Vie
tor. former German consul here and
now informed at Fort Oglethorpe, Ga,
whose claim is fixed at s2500 and
who is secured by a cnattel mortgage
worth OF furniture and fixtures, and

behind a few hundred dollars due sgd
nor q Hundley on purchase price.
Another interesting feature of the
situation is that the mortgage was
recorded in the clerks office Of the
chancery court on June IS, 1917. one
day more than four months before the
fling OF the petition in bankruptcy.
The fact OF a period of four months
having elapsed since the recordation
of the paper will doubtless have a
considerable bearing on the value OF
the Victor security
Among the assets cited is one
tenth interest In four hundred acres
OF land in Austria. which, the petl-
ton cites, Is of uncertain value and
from which no revenue has been re-
ceived for several years

This association has set out to raise
one million dollars in the country at
large for the purpose of providing
Libraries for the American troops in

allotted to Virginia, and the good wo-
men Of the state arernow engaged in
securing subscriptions thereto.
In his letter General Cronkhite
declares that however intensive may
he the character OF the training to
which the soldiers may be subjected,
tsere will be hours OF rest and relax

recreation and amusement and that
they will at times seek amusements
which will not necessarily be OF a
