The plan of Attorney General
William S. LANCER to depopulate the
schools of North Dakota during the
spring months in order that the pu-
pills, young and old, may assist the
farmers with their seeding, is stren-
uously opposed by the National
Child Labor committee, among whose
honorary members are Woodrow
Wilson, William H. Taft and THEODORE
Roosevelt. Writing from New York

schools in North Dakota, Owen r.
Lovejoy, general secretary OF this
committee, says: ....
Children can undoubtedly perform
such service as the president sug-
gests in calling upon 'able-bodied
boys of the land to turn in hosts to
the farms, and no child's desire to
help should be allowed to fail of ex-
preston. But to ship boys and girls

Fighting the Trench Rar.

1t is an i'll wind that blows no
good to somebody and the re-
sourceful French soldiers have
devised a system for using the
poisonous gas from the German
lines to rid their own trenches
of the rats that at times threat
ems to do as much damage as
shrapnel or round shot.
When gas was first used by
the German army contrary to
international agreement, the
first device for fighting it was to
cover the trench with blankets
or tarpaulins and crouch under
their protection until the wind
carried it away. 1t was soon
found that the Germans made a
habit or charging just behind
the cloud of gas, and science
soon devolved the gas mask,

\ CHAMPION AND HER BABIES

In the American Magazine a writer
tells about Mrs. Thomas Bundy, win
ner Of many tennis championships
and her children. He says:
Mrs. Bundy has been playing ten
mis- almost as long as she has been
able to hold a racket. In 1901, when
she was only twelve. she startled the
tennis world by winning the Pacific
Coast singles championship and, with
her partner, the mixed doubles. Vic
tory upon victory came to her, but
she did not visit the east until 1904,
when she captured the national cham
pionship and did not lose a single set
while east of the Mississippi. And
she played in many tournaments dur
ing her visit. But in 1905 Mrs Bundy
achieved her greatest fame. She
crossed the ocean and won the world S
championship at Wimbledon. England
defeating Miss Kate Douglass. who
had held the title the two previous
years. The following year she lost
TO Miss Douglass, but in 1907 sne
regained the worlds championship
by defeating her opponent in a bit
terly contested match.
Mrs Bundy's strength is remarka-
BILE. When in her teens she could
defeat the average boy in a footrace
and on the courts her chief attribute
was her ability TO wear down her
opponent with long smashing drives.
Mrs. Bundy would play five sets and
be fresh for FIVE more when her COM
panions were ready to quit for a few
days.
The combined collections of Mr..
and Mrs. Bundy's tennis trophies are
worth a large sum. They include
such priceless records of the past as
the three-time Welsh trophy, which
was permanently won by Mrs. Bundy
in 1907 and the miniature gold tennis
balls which are awarded each player
who wins an American national title
But when you mention collections
to Mrs Bundy, she smiles and points
to her children romp!ng on the lawn
There's the greatest collection
there ever was she says. And as
for titles-champion mother of the
world is good enough for me-"
