The most ambitious plans undertaken
by any sport governing body to meet
needs arising from the war are now
being worked out by the United States
National Lawn Tennis Association. 1t
is raising a fund of 100000 to finance
three ambulance sections, which will be
presented to the government through
the American Red Cross, and, in addi-
ton, is enlipting the recruits to man
these sectiona.
Clubs belonging to the association
have been asked to contribute directly
to the fund. Each club giving $1,000
will have an ambulance named for it,
and ten already have been pledged.
The most ambitious part Of the pro-
gramme, however, is a schedule Of ex-
hibition matches which has been ar
ranged to cover most Of the important
tennis centres in the East and Middle
West. Miss Molla Bjurstedt. national

against Great Britain in the Anglo

Up to the last two games, which
were adjourned, the indications were
that the contest would result in a
triple tie, but Howell succeeded In
cleverly drawing curious ending with
Blauco, in which the latter had the ad-
var tage of a queen against two minor
pieces. The extra half point thus OBJ
tanned placed Howell in the lead by the
narrowest possible margin, his final

TRAGEDY AND COMEDY

Mother in Tears at Loss of Child But
 Mood Quickly Changes When
 Yomgster Is Returned to Hex.
 Comedy intermingled with pathos relieved the monotony of dull morn ing at police headquarters today, an anxious mother, Desk Officer A. c. Ma lone, Policeman H. w. Lyon and a lost four year old boy having the principal roles with a number of in- terested spectators. Time was hang ing heavily on the hands Of all those not busy in tabulating the pay ac- counts of special policemen when a woman, hardly more than a girl, her lips quivering with emotion and hard ly able to speak without breaking into tears. hesitatingly approached the booking desk. Tears welled into her eyes as she started to tell Officer Ma lone about losing her little boy in a Main street store. So nearly over. come by emotion was she that it was only by kindly and persistent ques- tioning that the details were brought forth.
 Just at this junction the sound of lusty crying was heard and Police man Lyon made his entrance, grasp ing lively and stubborn representa-
 tive of Young America by the hand. There was an affecting scene as mother and child were locked in each others arms. Then there was an-
 ot-ler scene that recalled memories of childhood days to the hardened po-
 licemen and spectators. The young ster was prostrated over it's mothers knees while a good o1d-fashioned spanking was administered. Police headquarters' lobby resounded with
 lusty wailing prior to departure of the reunited couple.
 1 Commenting on the incident and tho expected increase in lost children because of the advent of pleasant weather, police officials advanced terse advice to parents. It compriges sug- gestions that children be taught their names, addresses and names of their father or mother so that. in case of getting lost. policemen may readily ascertain their. identity. If this is l done, police officials say. no time will be lost in notifying anxious parents or returning lost children, even if the patrol has to be used to accomplish
 the desired result.

1arms. lie too, must put In thirty full working days to qualify for the governors certificate. Each worker receives special card on which is registered the number of days he works and at the end of the season there are added up and the boy gets credit. Thus, 1t is not necessary for any boy to work continuously on any one farm. MT. Landers explained that for any day, be it one day or thirty days, that a. registered High school boy works on the municipal farm he will receive credit and official recognition from the state and national government as we'll as from the city. Although elsewhere the boys will be paid, it was agreed that it will be impossible to pay the boys for work on the municipal farms but it Is thought that New Britain's youth will offer their services gratis. It will not be necessary for them to work continuously, but to give a few days now and then. Mayor Quigley, Superintendent S. H. Holmes and Principal l.. P. Slade were named as a committee to enlist, under . ded- mite plan, High school boys for this work. It is proposed to have these volunteer workers divided into troops so that oh any particular day 8 designated troop may be called upon to work. Boys thus enlisted will re- ceive credit from their school instruc- tors for their studies.
 Fair Distribution of Crops.
 MT. Kehoe raised the much mooted question of how the products from the farm are to be distributed. He wanted to know If the men who do work on the farm will receive prefer ence over others who do not when 1t comes time to buy the crops, It was agreed to be the opinion of the meet ing that they will not. It was argued that this Is patriotic move and that selfish motives must be crushed down for the welfare of all. These men who work on the Municipal Farm must do it without thought of especial gain for themselves, but for the pa- triotic motive of helping their country through the crisis. Judge Gaffney thought that this question of distribu- ton Twill come up frequently and he advised that each time 1t should be met fairly and squarely by the argu- ment that the plan is patriotic one, not a selfish one or one for trofit.
 Mayor Quigley reported that the city can cultivate the fifty acres of the Tracey farm, twenty acres owned by Richard Murray adjacent and twenty acres owned by J. c. Lincoln in Berlin. The only pay Mir. Lincoln would ask you'd be equivalent to the value of the hay crop he would ordinarily re- ceive. The meeting adjourned until next Wednesday evening.
 Mayor Quigley disclosed to the conn mittee members a partial plan he has evolved for giving public recognition to New Britain men who help during the present war crisis. He hopes to have inscribed several lists of names, one of all National Guardsmen, one of New Britain men in the regular army, another of naval men, another of City Guardsmen, another of Home Guardsmen and another of the agri- cultural volunteer workers. These lists, he expects, will be properly pre- pared and hung in the corridor of City hall for all time.
