New York, Aug. 8.-California is noted for its production of good tennis players. The latest star is Miss Mary K. Browns, who has been playing in the East against all corners. Miss Browne defeated Miss Molla Bjurstedt
 the Norwegian, in a recent match and surprised the tennis world. The pro- ceeds from the matches are devoted to the Red Cross fund. In the match won by the California girl her oppon- ent wasted no time. In the first set the girl from Norway hit out for her

hardest drives and played close to the net ill the rallies so that she won. Miss Browne was finding her stroke, and in the next two sets darted about the court making amazing recoveries of Miss Bjurstedt's rallies. Miss Browne was always on the ball, and her whip lash shots into the corners of the court made her opponent appear a bit slow. As a result the American girl won the last two sets. However,
 Miss Bjudstedt came right back and defeated Miss Browne on the next day.

THE MOST USEFUL THING A
HIGH SCHOOL BOY CAN Do.

(By Newton D. Baker. Secretary War.)
The most useful thing a High School
boy can do is to finish his course, be-
cause the nations in the next years will
need all the trained men it can find.
1t follows that a boy should be
training himself for a productive ca
reer, at the same time keeping his
body especially fit for military service,
which he may be called upon to per-
form whe nhe is old enough.
He should certainly be preparing
himself to understand the meaning Of
this great war and the reasons why
America is fighting and the kind Of
peace we and our allies mean to es-
tab1ish-The American Boy.

WHY TEACHERS ARE SCARCE.

The dearth of school teachers COM
planned of by many communities in
all sections of the Union is attribute
bic to several causes, says the Vir-
ginian-Pilot, but is attributed by MANY
writer's on the subject to that cause
which is n of the least. The num-
Der Of instructors who nave actually
gone to the war is a very small per-
centage and the insuf1ciency of the
supply to meet the demand is as pro-
nounced in the case of women as Of
men. The reason is to be sought in
the 1nsuhciency of compensation al
most universal in the country districts
and prevailing in many of the cities
and towns. Enormous increases in
the cost Of living have been eoinci-
dent with the call for workers in all
industrial pursuits at higher wages
IMAM the average teacher receives in
the public ~schools.t Indirectly the war
has brought about conditions which
accounts for the drift of so large a
percentage of professional educators
to other employments. The only af-
Iectual remedy can not, perhaps be
applied at once. but it will be found
eventually in d~iscarding the idea that
the trainers of the minds and char,1c,
tiers of the youth of the nation are to
be reckoned as worthy of a hire MOI
exceeding that of the unskiIled labor
OF a sort which needs no preparation
Tor It's task and brings forth today only
Lnat which is consumed tomorrow.
we are paying the penalty now for
long degradation of the MODEST of ali
of wood and drawers of water.

Cross Christmas seals this year as last
year is the plan of the American Red
Cross and the National Tuberculosis
Association in their efforts to meet the
increased demands that will be made
upon them as anti-tubercuulosis
agencies. 1t is estimated from the eX-
~preience of France and other warning
nations that war more than trebles
the amount of tuberculosis unless adj
equate provision have been made
against it. It is this ~precatiOn and
measures of prevention that these
agencies are endeavOring to take.
Three million dollars is the amount
expected from the sale of seals this
year. This requires that every
agency work to make results three
times as large as those last year.
North Carolina will be expected to
raise near $40, 900 as her proportion
ate part. Last year the value of the
seals was $12,063. The year before
it was $S,033.

The men will all report at once to Atlanta, and as soon as the other eight regiments of engineers that are recruiting in various parts Of the country are up to their strength, the whole department will be trans ported to France.
