just as true OF the human plant as II
is of the vegetable kingdom. The ster-
ilization of the socially unfit is. be-
lieve. not only morally permissible
but socially obligatory. The startling
history OF the Jukes family, the Tribe
OF Ishmael." the "Hill Family" and the
"Kallikak Family" give abundant
proof of the terrible cost, social and
financial of the unrestrained breeding
of the unfit.
When out is confronted with the
facts in respect to crime, delinquency,
pauperism. alcoholism. prostitution
and general social incompetency, the
remedy appears fairly clear.
First: Those dealing with social
problems in any of their many forms
must be in a position to know the
facts about the individuals who pass
under their care.
Second: When the facts are known
the remedies must be available.

This book gives the exact elevation

ing camps, passes and mountain tops

'''SLING TENNIS"
IS NEW GAME
Ean Play on Grass or Clay
Courts; Racket Has
!, Pocket

New York, May 25.-Apnew form of
,&pnnis has been developed in several
of the European war prison camps
and has grown popular with the men
who in the past have been accustomed
to play the game upon either grass
or clay courts. For the lack of a
better name it has been called "sling
tennis" which is fairly appropriate,
as the ball or bag is thrown back
and forth across the net without be-
ing permitted to touch the ground.
This style of play is not exactly
new for an effort was made to intro
duce a somewhat similar form of ten
mis- some years ago but met with lit
: tie, if any, success. Owing TO the
fact that it requires no specially pre-
pared court surface it has been found
to be easily adaptable in prison
camps, reserve training camps and
back of the fighting lines.
Need Level Ground
All that is needed is g. stretch of
ground level enough to run about
upon and large enough to lay out a
full-sized tennis court. The markings
and net are placed as usual Either
a soft ball without resiliency or a
small bag filled with pebbles or beans
is used instead of the regulation ball.
The regular frame of a tennis racket
is employed buI is strung WIFI sack
cord or gut forming a pocket some
what after the manner of a lacrosse
stick. The ball is served or returned
with a swinging motion of the arm
or wrist and is in play until it touches
the ground, either in or out of court.
In other respects the play and count
are the same as in tennis. The game
is said to develop great speed and
agility and has proved extremely pop
ular among tennis players who are
barred by local conditions from play
ing tennis in the usual manner.
