Red Cross work, giving interesting
details. Among other good things
she said was that the Red Cross So
cieties had seven thousand nurses
that we're thoroughly trained and
could be ready for service at any mo-
ment. Aside from the assistance CIV
en- the Red Cross work by the rail-
roads. there are four splendid cars
that are owned exclusively by the
Red Cross workers After the storms
and cyclones in the east that have
been of such recent date, the Red
Cross Society was the first to render
assistance and aid in the great time
of need.
Miss Patterson followed Mrs. Pc
rozzi with a few words in her usual
pleasing manner, telling of the value
of the first aid classes and explaining
to the ladies about some Red Cross
work that could be done at home,
showing sample of work desired.
The program closed with a Mexi-
can game, Mrs. A. Fl. Peachey win
ming the prize Of dainty cream
pitcher. The game consisted of a
large paper sack of candy and nuts
suspended from the ceiling of the
porch, and each lady was to be blind
folded and turned around three times
and strike the sack, and when one
broke the bag with the stout cane she
held in her hand all the others were
to get busy like Mexican youngsters
to see who could secure the most OF
the sweetmeats. Not many Of the
ladies had chance at caneing the
sack after Mrs. O. W. Young secured
the walking stick and took aim

Set of rules for beginners, pro-
posed by Willard Botsford, a'brilliant
young player, now a student OF Co
lumbia. There has been plenty OF
advice for the youngsters from men
older and more experienced in the
game but very little of it given by
the youngsters themselves For that
reason the novelty of Botsford's sug-
gestitons make them more interest
ing. He calls them "The Ten lmpor-
tant Points to Be Observed in Lawn
Tennis and expresses them in the
following concise form:
1. Above all else, come up to the
net.
2. Follow through on strokes on
both the backhand and the forehand.
8. Use your head when forced out
of position, At such times it is al
ways advantageous to try shift pass
ing shot.
4. Lob deeply. 1t is better to have
the ball go out of court over the base
line than into the net mans hands.
s, Never give up until the last
ball has been played.
6. Always give your adversary the
benefit Of the doubt as to close
point.
7. When about to kill an overhead
smash-wait
8. Observe rules No. 2 and No. 3
more than all of the others.
8. Hold your racket always firm
ly in your hand.
10. Do not chop shots. Always
drive when 1t is possible
Competent critics have said that
Botsford promises to be one of the
best players in this country. Ger
tainly he has devoted much thought
to the theory Of the game, as the
foregoing rules will testify. Theil
simplicity and practical good senst
will commend them to the older play
ers as we'll as to those who still may
be classified as boys or juniors.

Ten Rules For
Tennis Players

More interest is being taken in ten
mis- in Ashland this year than ever
before, and, among the high school
boys especially, some really credit
able performers are being developed.
The high school championship was
won this year by young Chinese
boy Dick Shinn, from Honolulu. AL
though only c sophomore, he is dis
playing good form and is as fast as
streak. Several other players from
the high school are in the same class,
and among the older players many
are showing good form.
A whole volume on tennis Is con-
densed into the following:

Elks' Flag Service
Doubly Impressive

Dawning realization of the magni-
tude of the nation making forces
which are lowering about the United
States, and the pail of sadness and
determined patriotism which the
plunge into the most stupendous and
horrible war of all times has cast
over the nation, lent an impressive
ness to the beautiful Flag Day serv-
ices of the Elks lodge last Thursday
and stirred the emotions Of the great
gathering at the Eiks temple to un-
dreamed-of depths.
At the front sat row of bent and
grizzled veterans whose ears have
heard the terrific cannonading Of war
and whose eyes have seen the horrors
attendant upon a conflict between
men controlled by fealty to opposing
causes. Back of them several rows Of
chairs were filled with the trim, erect
ranks Of the boys who will soon go
forth under the banner Of the 1st
company to fight in strange lands.
alongside soldiers from every part of
the world, for the cause Of democ-
racy. During the vivid description
of the horrors perpetrated in the
name of the German government, the
veterans, If anything seemed more
bent, but in the rows behind, young
eyes flashed and young hands
clenched in prophetic augury OF the
determination which the army which
will cross the seas under the Star
Spangled Banner will carry with 1t.

and the sisters who can only give,
bearing on their arms the insignia Of
service, the Fed Cross.

Mr.. yining arrived but recently
from New York city and brought with
him a fuller conception of the real
/ import of the present struggle than is
generally held on the coast His ad-
dress was forceful and delivered with
striking eloquence. He gave his
hearers new and broader under
standing of the principles underlying
Americas participation in the world
conflict and painted vivid word pic
ture of the horrible devastation which
the German policy of inhuman de
struction Is effecting. He called at
tention to Ashland's patriotic re-
Spouse to the Liberty bond call and
pied for an even more ready response
to the call for Red Cross funds.
Flag buttons and artistic programs

at the door. Flowers and flags II
profusion decorated the lodge room

program was of exceptional merit
throughout, and the crowd which at

derstanding and a renewed love fol
the flag Of our country and that fol-
which it stands.

ing. The sheeting is now about two
thirds finished and will be done by

The placing of the roofing over the
sheeting started today and will be
pushed as rapidly as possible. The
stage will be rooted first in order
that the scenery painting operations
now going on will be protected In
event Of rain
Mnst Keep Out.
AS The sheeting is laid the trusses
which brace the timbers are knocked
loose from the arches, and because of
danger from falling timoers the
building will be closed to visitors for
few days until the braces are all
down The Chautauqua builders do
not wish to bar visitors, but as a
matter of safety first" this will be
necessary for few days 10 keep Wis

and the staging fell. He will be lai
up for couple of weeks. The othe

job. In view of the immensity an
uniqueness of the construction work

cautions used by the men in charge

The Army and Navy Clause

Iron The Boston Herald
Cases are arising as reported IN the news
papers. where a young man had taken the
lease Of an apartment before he realized his
liability 10 military service, and, now that
the call has come, wishes the landlord would
relieve him from further obligation. In the
name Of patriotism and common sense the
landlord ought 20 do this IN the absence OF
legal or technical obligation.
In our national capital the real estate men
customarily write leases with what they
know as "thc army and navy clause A
civilian may, by distinct specification have
it included in mis- lease, too. We believe IT
would be Of advantage to have its equivalent
in every household lease in the world What
does il mean?
Simply this: The man who takes an apart
ment in October for twelve months may dis
miss that obligation on a pro rata basis IN
case he receives orders TO go elsewhere; he
cannot give up the apartment because he dis
likes his ncighbors, or finds the streetcar
facilities disappointing, or for any Of the
score Of reasons which influence our judg-
ment Of abodes But he may leave If he re-
ocives from his employers an order which
he is not at liberty to disregard
Why should not every lease have such a
clause? 1t would cost the landlords some
thing in inconvenience; it would add an
other risk to their business which they
might logically take into account in making
their charges, but it would give affairs a
dash Of adiustability much needed in our
modern life, among civilian employees al
most as much as IN those Of the army and
the navy.

Charges that there exists a combination
Of egg dealers whose object is to control
prices have been made for several years
The indictments returned last week in the
Federal District Court in Chicago indicate
that the charges have not been without
foundation. In all twenty-five persons and
firms are mentioned, and it is alleged that
this small combination was able practically
to control the egg market of the country.
II is alleged that it became powerful enough
20 make Chicago prices prevail in nearly all
parts of the country and so manipulated
the market as to lay itself open to suspicion
Of having violated the Sherman antitrust
law.
Whether the men IN this case are guilty Is
10 be decided later, but the case will yield

determining supply and demand and fixing
