Kan Yen will catch Williams, and

TRY PAPER LINING ON
OLD THREADBARE SUITS
IBy Associated Prsssl

GERLIN, Germany.-On the heels OF
the ruling whereby clothes of prac-
tically all kinds are obtainable only
by those who possess "Bezugschein'
or card emitting them to purchase
new things, and the provision that per-
sons turning in wearable old suits or
overcoats are entitled to cards with
out question, there has been formed
an imperial Depot for Old Clothes. :
In this depot all the articles turned
in by persons wishing new clothes will
be gathered, sorted out, repaired, put
in shape generally, and then parcelled
out at low prices to those who can
not afford to buy new things.
The department will experiment
with the practicability Of adding paper

MRS. GEORGE COULTERDE
MALE Wears in GREAT MATCH

1 Miss GOodloe, last years champion
could not have stood up under the
| fire OF the play Yesterday. II was ten
mis- that is no. often seen in tourna
! ment play and Mrs Coulter should
rank with the leading players of the
country on her showing Of yesterday
Two Surprises
There we're two surprises yesterday
afternoon. Hardy enc spectator eX
pected Mrs. Coulter to come back tC
the courts with such finished game
She had defeated every player for sew
en- years. and then had retired after
she had found no more worlds TO con,
quer, and the singles were discontin
ued because there was no one who
would enter in tournament against
the champion. r.. =
She played with q skill that was
hardly expected and her Judgment of
cross court shots was unusually good.
Her game was well rounded, and
showed no weakness when Miss Wears
played to her backhand, forehand and
then lobbed them in order to break
through the game of the champion.
Miss Wears Improved
Male Wears surprised her friends.
She has improved her game wonder
fully since the last tournament, and
had it not been for the wind which
blew across the courts might have
hell the more experienced player to
five sets. At times she showed va
riety of shots that would have done
justice to Hazel Hotchkiss or the
Sutton girls. Once in the last set
she tried to carry the point with a
perfect loft shot which shot past the
net like rifle fire.
After losing the first set the Hilo
girl fought back with an abandon, and
soon had the set we'll in hand. and
her variety of backhand strokes and
lobs were excellent. She used remark
able judgment in this set, and her
serves were giving her many points.
The Punahou girl has improved her
baekhand, and once size has steadied
down, and learned the loft stroke,
there will be some great tennis ex-
hibited.
Great Game
When Mrs. Coulter placed an angle
shot close to the side line in the last
game, which Miss. Wears was unable
to return, the champion for the eighth
time walked over to the net, and COM
plimented the younger player on her
great game 1t is to be hoped that
Mrs. Coulter will continue to play in
the future tournaments as it will be
a big boost for tennis here, And il
she is ever defeated let it be hoped
that she will lose to Hawaii's young
est star who promises to be cham
pion some day.
1t was unfortunate that the tennis
committee could not see fit to stage
this match at Inc BeIetania Courts.
1t was one of the best exhibitions ever
staged in either ladies' and mems
singles, and hundreds would have
gathered to witness the match in
central location. Oswald Mayall unl-
pired the match 10 the satisfaction of
all.

On the whole the league does not
seem to have strengthened, and it will
hardly be faster than last year, il as
fast. There are comparatively few

into the league. and innumerable
trades have been made within the or

is evidently a season of retrenchn1ent,
with none OF the owners spending any
considerable monev to secure new
talent.

GOOD WORK OF BOY SCOUTS.
Have Caused Thousands of Idle Acres to
be Devoted to Food Production.

be Devoted to Food Production.
New York, May 1.-THE response
of American boys to the plea by the
National Council of the Boy Scouts
of America that every scout feed
soldier has been so widespread that
today thousands of acres of land
where flowers or no vegetation at all
grew are under cultivation to pro-
duce food.
Reports received at the organiza-
tion's national headquarters here. it
was announced today, show that this
juvenile farming movement has at
tracted not only thousands of boys
not heretofore associated with the
Boy Scouts but has led to cooperation
by great many men who, rejected by
the army or the navy, hope to render
a national service in agriculture.
Supplementing messages Of appro-
val from Herbert G Hoover, Theodore
Roosevelt and others, the National
Council today made public letters
from Major General Leonard Wood,
of Charleston, S C, and Lieutenant
General Robert S S n-Powell.
founder of the Boy Scout movement
in Great Britain.
General Wood, urging that every
effort be made to increase the food
supply" wrote that the great mass
of people can very easily produce a
large portion of the food which they
will need in the ensuing year. thus
making more available to send abroad
to the nations involved in the pres
ent great war"
General Baden-Powell described
what Boy Scouts have accomplished
for England at war in the way of
coast guard service, guarding bridges,
telegraph and cable lines and reser-
voirs, and performing orderly service
for the Admiralty and other govern
ment branches. He expressed the
confidence that American Boy Scouts
are trained TO do very valuable SER
vice for their country behind the
scenes in the present crisis" "
An appeal by the council to the
approximately $4,000 members an
nounced recently that war service
emblems would be awarded to Boy
Scouts district council troops and in
dividual members who performed
unusual service in food production.
