there was little difference between
Miss Riurstcdt and Miss Browne, the
question of the womcn's national sti.
prcmacy was not confined to these two,
but should include May Sutton.Bundy.

Mrs. Bundy, us May Sutton, won the
national championship In 1904 at an
age said to have been under eighteen.
Thereafter she forfeited her United
States championship rights In order 10

"~All-comcrs" and national champion

twice, once in 1905 and again In 1907.

mis- player, Il. G. Bundy, partner Of
Comet" Mclaughlin, as national
doubles champion, has since removed
her from the competitive field. She
has not been In the rankings for sew
eral years.
But II Is not to be considered that
Mrs. Bundy Is out OF the running, by
any means. We have two recent
lines" on this wonderful woman
player, of whom 1t was said Mt ane
time that there were not over a dozen
men In the United States able to de-
feat her.
Two years ago Mrs. Bundy and Miss
Bjurstedt played three matches, exhi-
bition. two Of which were won by the
American girl. This year, in the East
West series, her superiority was shown
again In n series of three matches as
follows:
Mrs. Bundy defeated Miss Blur.

Miss Browne defeated Miss Blur.

NIGHT BLOOMING CEREUS

The genuine night blooming cereus
Is a snaky-loOking plant, but from the
time the buds appear In the early
spring, looking like tiny tufts of cot
ton. until the wondrous blossoms are
perfected, the plant is always IN OBJ
ject OF interest.
The opening Of n cereus blossom
can new he appreciated until seen.
There Is the qulverlng of the petals,
the gradual disclosing Of the creamy
interiors, within which Is n most mar
velous mechanism Of stamens sur
rounded by the star-llke plstll. Only
the white pond lily gives II suggestion
of the wondrous purity Of the ce-
reus and even this the cereus far trans
cends. Yet 1t is easily grown.
II insects attack, spray or wash on
with Kerosene emulsion, a wing being
excellent for cleaning this plant. The
scale and aphis are It's chief enemies.
Some plants are slow in attaining
blooming size, yet when this Is once
reached they are faithful each year.
The humming bird End the rat-tail are
notable for exceptions, blooming nicely
when but n few months or n year old.

The fact that Yale, Princeton and
Harvard, recognized as the leaders in
football. have suspended activities on
the gridiron for the duration OF the
war. has set the devotecs OF the game
to thinking. The universal question
OF those interested In the matter is:
What ultimate effect will this have
on the sport pursued by the smaller
colleges?
Is football to die until after the war
or Will those who have the sports In

pressure to bear for Its conservation

1t Is true, but there is probably some

adopted for Its preservation. 1t is
part of every college mans life, and
without Its moral and physical effect
he will suffer.

eral STAFF Is expected TO answer in a
few days.
The draft law permits the filling Of

established a flying school in Egypt
which Is used chiefly by the Canadian
