BOWLING CONGRESS
OPENS IN CINCINNATI.
NotabIes Welcome PinspiIIers

CINCINNATI. February 16.-The eigh-
teenth annual tournament of the
American Bowling Congress was start
ed here tonight when sixteen fve-man
teams, made up of representatives of a
number of diversified Cincinnati indus
tries and associations. rolled the first
balls at the Hamilton county armory.
The play tonight was but the begin
ming of a period of three weeks of
bowling during which time expert
bowlers from many states and from
some sections of Canada will make Gin
cinnati their mecca. Previous to the
bowling tonight, Mayor John Calvin de-
livered short address of welcome,
while August Hermann, former presi-
dent of the American Bowling Congress,
answered for the bowlers of Cincinnati,
and William Agnew of Cleveland, pres
ident of the congress, responded for the
bowlers in general Among the first
sixteen teams tonight was the Forsch
Club, which claims to be the Oldest
bowling organization in existence. hav-
ing been active in the game for thirty
two years.
The tournament is not the largest in
point of number of teams entered that
has been conducted by the American
Bowling Congress, but it is attracting
attention by reason of the unusually
generous response from bowling teams
everywhere, despite war conditions.
The tournament committee estimates
that $4,000 bowlers have already an
swered the call to the colors and that
of these fully 1900 have at various
times participated in the tournaments
of the American Bowling Congress
Yet, despite this great decrease in the
number of eligible bowlers, the entries
for the Cincinnati tournament are little
below those of previous years.

Extra Values Filet Laces 35c to ;@. 75 yard

The difficulty that surrounds the inporta- tion of laces from European countries has madeit possible for us to secure laces of un- usual beauty and at exceptionally low prices from another source.
 It is an interesting story.
 Part of the lace making industry of Italy was transplanted to China. They took, as instructors, women thoroughly conversant with the art of weaving filet laces. They took the fine linen threads along with them. The Chinese women were taught to make filet laces under the direction of the artistic Italians These laces are identical ly the same as Italian filet, differing only in their much lower prices. Goods from China can be transported with safety and the lower cost of labor makes China an ideal country for lace weaving.
 These faces are, therefore, as fine as any hand made filet we have ever had, but much cheaper.
 We have made some beautiful filet collars, which are also sold advantage geously at from 2.50 to 3.95. "''n '''''
