"The rule for all three armies is that
to make a good soldier man must
see we'll, have comparatively good
hearing, his heart must be able to
stand the stress of physical exertion
he must be intelligent enough to un,
derstand and execute manpuvres, obey
commands and protect himself, and
must be able to transport himself by
walking, as the exigences of military
life may demand"
The above quotation is from the an
nouncement of Surgeon General Cor
gas concerning the uniform standards
OF physical examination to be used bv
medical officers in examining recruits
tor the regular and national armies
ana Tor the national guard.
In commenting on this, and the
opportunity 1T gave to sport to be of
s Mie to the government, Julian $.
Myrlck, ice-presider& of the u. S. N.
l.; T. A., said yesterday that he was
glad to have this concise definition of
the requirements for recruits, as it
gave the association definite object
to attain.
Continuing, Mr. Myrick said: "Ten-
MS develops speed of mind and bodv.
Tor player must think and act in
stantly. No game does more to de-
velop sure eye and perfect coordina-
ton of all movements, because most
strokes are made while a player is in
motion after fast flying ball. AS
TOR endurance, any one who can 90
through few sets these days will
pass good test as to his heart and
footwork. 'N
Because of the associations con-
vlction that the sport thus serves a
useful purpose it naturally decided to
support the work of the War Depart
ment Commission on Training Camp
Activities. This commission IS using
sport both as a means of recreation
tor men in the service and as training
tor their military duties. CONSTRUCTION
OF tennis courts in many camps has
extended the usefulness Of tennis in a
remarkable manner, and the continuing
demands for equipment show that the
men want the game.

exciting race of the day and. indeed,
one of the most spectacular from the

RECREATION
PLAN PROPOSED
AIdermanic Committee Ap-
pointed to Confer on PROPOSE
ton to Establish Center Here

A committee consisting OF Alder
men John ]. Clark. William Wilson
and Benjamin Reidy we're appointed
at the meeting of the Board of Alder
men last night to cooperate with Miss
Jane Hufford in recreation plans for
the city.
Miss Hufford appeared before the
aldermen last Friday night apd sub
mitted plans for a recreation center
in the heart of the city. The sugges-
ton calls for the lease OF large plot
of land along the Central railroad on
Smith street extending from the rail-
road TO Elm street.
On this plot 1t is proposed to erect
a dance pavilion and other amuse-
ment devices for the use of the young
people, The cost for the first year
has been estimated at about $4,000.
Alderman-at-large Grouse, who
appointed the committee, is enthusi-
astic over the project and the mer-
chants and citizens generally seem to
be in favor of 1T.
The committee will go into the
matter and report to the board.
Most of the aldermen seem to be of
the opinion that while Fairgrounds
are a good thing for the smaller chill
dren the city has now reached that
stage OF development where some
thing ought to be done for the benefit
of the older boys and girls and 1t is
confidently expected that the propo-
sition win go through.

To ASK W|LLSEy
FOR PRESERVATION
Aldermen Give Health Board
$40, 900 With Understanding
That Request be Made

In considering an appropriation for
the Board of Health for 1919, tho
Board of Aldermen cut the figure OF
$4,000 asked for by the health de-
partment in half, with the understands
ing that the aldermen were opposed
to the present health officer, Villa m
J. Willscy, and with the added hope
that the health board would remove
Mr.. Willsey.
Alderman John ]. Clark lead the
opposition to the health officer, when
he said that the board. he believed,
was Of one mind with him, when he
said that the aldermen should pass a
resolution requesting the health COM
missioners to remove the present off,
Ger and replace him with more com
petent man.
Alderman F. William Hilker said
that he did not believe the aldermen
should dictate to the health commits
sioners in the matter, but Aldermen
Wilson, Anderson and Reidy were all
in favor of such resolution saying
that would officially show the health
board how the aldermen felt. Wher
Clark's resolution was put to vote,
all the aldermen voted affirmatively.
The aldermen plan to increase the
1920 Appropriation to the health de-
partment If the board shows that they
are able to do good work with the
addition allowed them this year.
No member of the health board
could say officially that the resignation
of Mr.. Willsey would be asked for. 1t
has been unoficially stated that such
would be the case and that the board
has already slated another local man
for the place at a salary Of $4,000 a
year.
Mr.. Willsey said yesterday, that in
view of recent Developments he was
considering rendering his resignation
as health officer to the Board of
Health. When efforts were made to-
day to obtain further statement
from him concerning the action of the
aldermen last night, 1t was said at
the office of the health department at
city hall that Mr.. Willsey was out of
town.

Mrs. Oliver w. Ramsay and C. C.

agreed that 1t would be wise idea to
allow an additional $1,000 for this
purpose. They also took out the item
of city clerks fees, as they figured
that they could not count this as an
