Hardships and discomtorts Of the

Dust. heat and flies are the three

in great clusters on everything. Some
Of them can sting and bite severely.
With the coming Of nightfaIl the or

places. The sandfly is an insidious
plague. You have to wear a very
fine suffocating mesh on your face

You wear a toupee or wet towel

DETROIT ROLLS TONIGHT
Twenty Three Teams to Try for Top
Score of Bowling
Congress.

GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. March 20
Twenty-three Detroit teams will roll
tonight against the 3.o61 total that
now promises to carry off the team
honors of the American Bowling Con-
gress tournament after the failure OF
the powerful squad that shot on the
final shift last night Teams from
Chattanooga. Lexington, Chicago and
Bucyrus Ohio. also are scheduled 10

although the Birll Brothers lead is re-
garded as almost certain to carry of
the fve-man prize.
In the minor events some fast work
also is looked for. particularly from
Herman Collins and Kip" Selbach of
Chicago and Eddie Kelly and AL Toem-
mel of Chicago, bracketed in the dou-
bles.
McCaughan and Peachey of Indian
apolis, with their 1914, still hold the
lead in the two-man event, while Otto
Kallusch of Rochester, with sos, re-
mains at the top of the individuals.
The failure of all but one of the big
teams on the late shift last night-the
Capitol alley five of Indianapolis be-
ing the lone exception with their
2,S0o-prfobably was due to the nerv-
BUSINESS caused by the large crowd of
spectators present
Missed spares were the cause of most

WOMEN's TENNIS LATER.
Probable That National Title Tour.
ney Will Be Held June 18.

NEW YORK, March 20-In compli-
ance with the request which was freely
voiced last year, the date of holding
the woman's national lawn tennis cham
pionship tournament will be two weeks
later this summer. In 1916 the tourna-
ment began on June 5, but this year it
will not begin until June is. according
to information which came from a good
authority yesterday. The woman play
ers have always contended that it was
a mistake to hold the championship SO
early in the year. before the contes-
tants really had an opportunity to
round into form for the grass court
competition. AS was the case year
ago, the tournament will he decided on
the courts of the Philadelphia Cricket
Club.
Two other dates which probably will
stand in the completed schedule place

championship for women on May IS and
the all-Philadelphia tournament on

tions will be decided at the Merton
Cricket Club.

University. Gallaudet makes no con-
tract for the season, but obtains for
