Learn Foundation
Stroke of Tennis

TO explain to a boy the funda-
mental principles of the tennis
strokes, a good way is to stand him
in front of wall, give him tennis
ball, and ask him to bat it up against
the wall a few times with his naked
hand.
Anyone who is tested thus will
nearly always meet the ball fairly
and fully as it is falling, so that it
strikes on the palm of the hand, as
one comes forward at the ball, with
the palm almost as fat as the top of
a table, but, of course, inclined a lit
tie towards the wall. Simple as this
exercise seems, it is nevertheless of
great importance, for it is the foun-
dation stroke in tennis, so far as re-
CARDS the ground game or balls that
are played after hitting the ground.
Now suppose that the ball had
landed. The rebound would come
off perfectly fiat surface. If that
surpace were tilted up toward the
wall, the ball would tend to bound
back toward the wall, as l showed in
connection with ones hand.
Now ones hand, open and in po-
sition to play the ball, is, in effect, if
cut off with about half the forearm,
racket. Why is it that so many
beginners forget this and neglect to
play the ball naturally with the
racket, which is only an artificial
production of the same shape which
they always use naturally, to wit, the
hand and arm BY P. A. Vaile in
The American Boy.

THE FILIPINO AND HIS
LITTLE BROWN BROTHER

One of the important questions in
giving self-government to the Fill
pinos is whether they will treat the
nonChristian tribes, who number
one-eighth of the population, with
I fairness and liberality. l asked Mr..
Quezon whether good treatment for
the nonChristian tribes could be
looked for if the Filipinos get their
| independence. He based his pro-
| phecy for the future on the present
| performances of the Philippine AS
sembly.
I'VE are treating them WE'LL" he
said. 1T is a matter of pride with
us to do so. In the matter of ex-
penditures we are more liberal in
our treatment of them than we are
| in providing for the Christian Fill
pinos. In the Senate, Hadji Butu
can get almost anything he asks for,
as the Filipinos are determined to
| treat the Moros not only with JUS
| tice but with liberality. The prob
lem of the nonChristian tribes,
which was for so many years Amer
! ica's problem, will become our
problem, and we realize that the
best and quickest way to solve it is
to treat the nonChristian races as
we'll or better than the F1lipinos
themselves. Our present attitude is
testimony to our future action"
Governor General Harrison and
General Hall. who is at the head of
the constabulary. both think that
the nonChristian tribes are getting
fair treatment at the hands of the
Filipinos. 1t is needless to say,
however, that such work as has been
done by some of the American gov
ernors among the tribesmen of the
Mountain province, Mindanao and
Sulu can hardly be loked for from
the Filipino for many years to come.
The pioneer work has, however,
been done, and there is a strong
probability that peace and good will
may be the order of the new day
in the Philippines.-Mayn Owen
Williams in the Christian Herald.

The essential feature Is lard can

Mrs. Durbins scheme consists of
this can with false perforated bot

hold It about one-half inch from the
true bottom of the can. Between the
true bottom and the false bottom, an
ordinary metal faucet is soldered into

BY means of the faucet the housewife
can draw off the hot water at the end
of her cooking, without the discom.
fort and attendant danger of coming
in contact with the live steam. The
can may then be lifted from the stove.
and the jars of fruit or vegetables re.

A lard can of the ordinary dimen-

Mrs. Durbin is demonstrating her
invention this summer in the vicinity
of her home and at other points in
the state, and expects to embody it in
her extension work for the university
during the coming winter 1t is not
her intention to have the device pat

DR.. George Rector Dye,
pastor of the Baptist church
of this city, who was arrest

cation. He was arrested on
July "a on a charge OF set
ting fire to a dwelling he
owned in Portland for the

ance amounting to $1,000.
Later, he was released on

KILLARNEY GIRLS IN
SONGS OF OLD ERIN

A typical Mt. Vernon chautauqua au-
dience greeted the Killarney Girls in
the first number of the chautauqua
Thursday AFTERNOON in the breezy tent
on the court house lawn when the
young women composing the Killarney
Girls company presented an enjoyable
repertoire of musical numbers and
readings.
The audience was "livened up" and
placed in "chautauqua frame of
mind" by Miss Rita Rich, clever read
er, who presented "Childhood's Phil
osophy," one of Miss Rich's compost
tions that defied fOrmality and ban
ished dignity from within the walls
OF the tent. Miss Rich as a reader is
especially pleasing and her rendition
of "The LowBack Car" and the Moo
Cow Moo" were thoroughly enjoyed as
were her presentation of Irish folk
dances.
Miss Laura Werno gave several Sc
lections, among them being when
Grandma Was a Girl' and two clever
Irish monologues describing Mrs. Ril-
ey at baseball game and Mrs. Casey
at home.
The other members of the company
are Misses Janet Whiteside, Florence
Hermann, Jean Kern and Peggy An
drews. Miss Whiteside and Miss Her
mann scored with the audience with
their violin music, while the singing of
Miss Kern, soprano, and Miss An
drews, contralto, was heartily applaud
ed. The Killarney Girls are all at
tractive young women and they pre-
sent an exceptional brand of enter
tainment.
The Killarney Girls also opened the
evenings entertainment, presenting a
different program, but one equally
good, the entertainment having for a
setting a scene in an Irish home upon
the return of daughter to Ireland
from a stay In America, which gave
an opportunity for presenting several
appealing Irish melodies and other
musical numbers that were encored by
a delighted audience until the artistes
were at the point of exhaustion from
a good-natured Willingness to satisfy
their hearers

PURCELL RIDES A
FERRIS WHEEL At
CARNIVAL GROUNDS
Juvenile Officer Has First
Experience On Popular
Amusement

You're never too old to learn" de-
clared Juvenile Officer Patrick Purcell
Thursday afternoon when he summon
ed up his courage. got firm grip on
his emotions and boldly boarded the
ferris wheel at the carnival grounds in
South jefferson street, where the
Northwestern Shows are holding forth.
Mr.. Purcell said he had never be-
ferris wheel, but acting upon the
policy of learn one new thing every
day." the gospel propounded by Luke
McLuke, he decided to take chance"
Say, when you get up to the top you
are up in the air some," was the Off
GERS remark when he landed"
The occasion upon which Mr. Purcell
ventured upon the ferris wheel was the
entertainment of the little folks from
the Children's Home, who were the
guests of the carnival company Thurs
day afternoon The children were
"chaperoned" by Officer Purcell and
Supt H. w. DEEMS and they spent a
glorious afternoon among the wonders
Of the carnival.
The entire party rode the ferris
wheel and the merry -go-round, after
which they did" each attraction, con-
sumed, peanuts, popcorn and ice
cream at the expense Of the manage
ment of the shows and on leaving each
one received a small souvenir of the
afternoons pleasure.
While the children enjoyed every
thing that they were shown or permit
ted to do at the carnival it is said that
the "grownups" felt highly repaid by
watching the juvenile officer become q
boy again-at least enough so to ride
the ferris wheel.
