has rounded out and polished her entire
game to such an extent that she is
probaply stronger player, by at least
20 per cent. than in 1917.
so far this winter there has not been
a woman player in the East who has
been able to offer Miss Biurstedt even
4 falr bit Of competition on the courts
Miss Marie Wagner, national indoor
champion, was entered in the singles
at the Heights Casino, and was re-
sarded as the most likely to give the
tar foreigner struggle. She de-
1aulted, however, and it was left to
Mrs. Johan Rogge and Miss Eleanor
Goss to halt Miss Bjurstedts uninter-
rupted path to victory. Neither proved
equal to the task, Mrs. Rogge Weld
ing the honors at Go, G-1, and Miss
Goss at 6-1, 6--1
Frederick B. Alexander, the interna-
tlonalist, summed up the case pretty
thoroughly when MISS Bjurstedt had
won the tournament for the second
year IN succession:
The whole truth of the matter is
Just this" he declared. "Miss Blur
stedt and Miss Browne are at least 25
per cent better than eny other women
in the game. They simply outclass the
rest Of the field, and it is only when
they oppose each other that thew show
the real strength of their play"
Alexander, who saw Miss Biurstedt
and Miss Browne in all their matches
last summer, believes that the Nor
wegian would simply overwhelm her
great rival from California on the in.
door door courts to-day, and would more
than likely defeat MISS Browne on tbe
outdoor courts. S"e
AS Miss Browne has entered Los
Angeles bank as teller and has AN
nounced that she will no longer take
part IN championship tournaments, II
does not seem likely that she will maxi
the trip East this summer. 10 those

Indoor Tennis Proving
More Popular Than Eper
No Post-Morten7s
In Lazun Tennis

A real argument as to the reason
why tennis never gets a grip on
ones affections in the same man.
ner as golf is contained in the
fact that there are no post-mor-
tens in tennis.
In golf the game does not end
with sinking ones putt OH the
home green; it really is only half
ever at that point. In the hours
that follow that and other rounds
are played over and over again.
and there is just as much fun, lust
as much pleasure in the post-mor-
tenn as there is in the physical
play Of the match. One can look
back and recall every shot and
figure out how he lost; that's the
post-mortem in golf.
In tennis, player has either
won or lost. When man is beaten
he never is heard to say it was
won by luck or a flulc.

Here is what the commissioner has
to say of them:
The unemployed men have been
coming to Ellis Island for the past
five months. The numbers for tbs.

tween zoo and 800 each night. The
men are perfectly orderly, and are
most grateful for the opportunity Of

other than in the parks, under the
bridges, or any other such place as
are open to them. They required no
policing, and have not given us hi.
of trouble in that time. A large per
centage of them rush eagerly to the
bathroom as soon as they arrive at
the island. They maintain BARRIERS
and clothes-menders to keep in good
condition., and are, so far as l can
judge, making every possible effort to
retain their self-respect under terri
BILE conditions.
III is almost complete presumption
to my mind in favor of man il he
is willing to sleep night after night
on hardwood floor. without any COW
ering over him, and that is what
many of the men have been doing.
They get what little food they have as
best they can, and the great majority
OF them are in state of chronic hun.

Election upon this rich city that these

their own employment; many of then

1t was to learn something of these
men at first hand that reporter,
dressed as one of them, and unshaved
and of sorry appearance, Joined their
company for one never-to be-forgotten
night on the island. But the suffer-
Ing and discomfort were more than
made up for by the fact that, al
though these were rough men, in the
privacy Of the room in which we
slept except for some swearing
there was not spoken one word that
any woman might not have heard.
It is really a splendid thing to be ablo
to say that.
These unfortunate men say they
are much happier within the hospita-
BILE halls of Ellis Island than they
ever could be at the municipal lodg-
ing institutions, which they criticise
very unfavorably and with various
reasons, among their objections being
TOO many unnecessary questions ask

Electricity on the Farm i'm Winter

Many farmers are now experience
ing for the first time the many advan-
tages of having electricity in their
homes during the cold winter days.
The short days make it necessary for
the farmer to do much of his work
after dark but the one who has elec-

from the well is much better for the

and they will drink more of 1t, If 1t

Electricity means fully as much in
