Would you say, Dick, that this man

say also that he was or had ever been
In love with his wife?"
MY dear girl, 1 can't even define
love-love between the sexes-let
alone tell when and where and to
whom it comes and goes. 1t Is the
most intangible as we'll as the most
Irresistible of emotions and yet If
you were to ask all the men and
women you know to tell you their
definitions of love. you would have
az many answers as there were peo-

Love is one Of the things you
can't put into words, my dear. You
can always tell, however, If you are
in love, but 1 don't believe anyone
can describe his emotions.
"Yes. my dear, 1 think the man has

OYSTERS AS SUBSTITUTE
FOR MEATS ON TABLE

Setting forth the value of the oys-
ter In replacing meat, the following
article is furnished by Charles r. Ba-
con, of the New Jersey Oyster Com
mission, and Is sent out by the Food
Conservation Commission OF this
state!
You can conserve food, better your
health and save money by putting
oysters on your bill Of fare where
meat has held a place.
Oysters are cheaper than meat,
more nutritious, more whole some,
more digestive than meat.
New Jersey produces some OF the
finest oysters in the world and they
are now in the finest form. They are
easily cooked, if cooking Is pre-
ferred, but are Of inestimable value
served raw.
Oysters can be cooked in an almost
limitless variety of ways. all palatable
and inviting. Even invalids, suffering
digestive disturbances, can relish and
assimilate oysters. Many of the most
eminent scientists have attested the
nutritive value of the oyster. cheap
sensible food within the reach Of e44'-
~efvbody in New Jersey.
Some Of the ways that oysters can
be served are as follows:

JAPAN SENDING
 TENNIS CRACK !
 FOR TOURNEY

New York, Aug. 11-Japan will be represented by Selichiro Kashio in the national patriotic tennis singles tournament on the courts of the West Side Tennis club at Forest Hills, L. l., beginning August 20. Announcement to this effect was made last night by the United States Lawn Tennis Asso- ciation. The proceeds of the tour nament will be devoted to the Ten his Associations war ambulance fund.
 The tennis public has not had the opportunity to become acquainted with Kashio's playing, as was the case with Ichiya Kumagae, who re- presented Japan in last years na- tional cha ampionship tournament. Kumagae arrived in this country sev- eral weeks before the tournament, and created sensation by the manner in most American players.
 It was not until his defeat by George Church that the possibility of the national singles title being taken abroad was definitely set aside, As the result of his spectacular invasion Kumagae won his way to a ranking among the first tennis players of the country.
 Kashfo and Kumagae won the Far Eastern doubles championship. in 1915 and last year Kashio was the winner of both the singles at Shanghai. Kashio reached the Pacific Coastoa few days ago. and is expected to en- gage in 8 few practice matches here early next week.

Southpaw Smith Back @ In Form For Dodgers

Chicago, H., Aug. 11--It is too late for Brooklyn fans to go into ecstacies of delight over the good work of any one member of Robinson's pitching staff. The National League pennant already has been. lost and won. Ev- 'erywhere it is being conceded that the that it is a mere formality to finish out the schedule.
 k But in the good pitching of Sher- rod Smith, of the Dodgers, is cause for encouragement, for Smith is a young pitcher and should be one of the most valuable pitchers for next season. For a time this year it was believed that Smiths good left arm had gone back and that he would be lost altogether to the Dodgers. It appears that he strained a mus cle during the. spring training jaunt and that the hurt handicapped con- siderably' during the' early days of the
 campaign. Robbie feared the soutr- paw would never be his best again.
 but the injury has healed and judg- ing from his pitching in recent con- | tests there is nothing the matter with the member now.
 And so there is cause for jubi}ation l over the work of Smith in the sec. ond game of the series with the Cubs He didn't travel the entire route fo,

GIANTS LEAD FOR
 FLAG JUMPS TO
 FOURTEEN GAMES

St. Louis, Aug. 11.-.Assisted by the ragged felding of their opponents and their own wen-placed hits. the Giants were enabled yesterday to win their third straight game of their present series with the Cardinals. The score was to 4. The New Workers in- creased their lead a full game over the Phil1ies and Cardinals as the re suit of their victory, putting them IA games ahead of the Quallers.
 The visitors hardly played up to their standard for, although they were not charged officially with any errors. they made several omissions that would not look we'll in the coming worlds series in which they seem sure to take part. Benton in the second inning threw the ball to a base where he had no chance to get a runner, Bill Rariden, in the seventh stanza, chased Paulette back too close to third and gave that runner a life. There were other in stances in which the Giants showed lack of mental sprightliness.
 However they more than made up with their bludgeons for what they lost by their unchanged mistakes, and were never in any very dangerous sit nations. They knocked Packard off the mound ip the third inning and served Horstman likewise in the sev- enth. May, who finished the game in tn Cards box, was effective. Seven hits were made off Packard and five off Horstman.
 McGraw put in Wi1hoit as a pinch hitter in the seventh and the new Giant again made good by sending in two runs with his single to left.

TAKES
 FIRST DEFEAT IN
 INVASION OF EAST

fl sf :. |
 Southampton, l.. l., Aug. 1.-Two notable victories, which carried with them the chief honors in the tennis tournament at the Meadow club, were achieved yesterday by S. How ard voshell, the national indoor champion. In the morning he play ed so brilliantly and steadily that he brought John R. Strachan of San Francisco to the first defeat that he has suffered since his Eastern inva- sion.t Three sets were necessary to vanquish the Californian by scores of 2-6,, 60, 6-4. In the afternoon Voshell put the crowning touch to his days work when he defeated Harold A. Throckmorton in a keenly played match; the score of which was 6--4,
 6-4.
 Both of Voshell's antagonists were in fine fettle for a stirring match, but they could not combat successfully the resourceful play of Voshell, who whipped his shots across fast and true in the face of rallies by his rivals. It was this ability to play remarkably we'll when Strachan and Throckmorton were sumoning their reserve strength that enabled Voshel to carry off the honors in the two sin gles matches
 I Next to the singles events in interes' 1 was another East versus West con- test in which Miss Molla Bjurstedt and Fred B. Alexander opposed Miss Mary K Browne and John R. Stra- chan In this the East had once again to bow to the tennis supremacy
 of. the West, for Miss Browne and | Strachan earned the decision 1T

The ,feature event of the card, the Me chanicville Handicap, one mile, was run in n'the slow time of 1:44 3-5.
 There were nine acceptances for the Mechanicville, but only four an- sweredi the bugle call. Henry Per kins' Dick Williams was prime fa- vorite and R.J.

Eight two-year-old fillies entered in the third race, claiming event un-

They furnished an interest," ing race. in which Lady Eileen won, with Aileen o. second and Umatilla 1 third.
 A jumping race of about two miles land a half, with only four starters, terminated in a driving finish, in which Ral Paris Robert Oliver beat l M. L. Schwartz's Crest Hill half a length. A field of fifteen two-year- olds fac- l ed the barrier for the closing event of the day. Three of them raced in a manner that gave spectators a play l of emotions. George D.
