organization, has suspended its stated
tuesday meetings until next Septem-
Der. This action. was voted at the
meeting last TUESDAY So many of the
members are out of the city in the
summer sthat this was deemed advis-
able.
At last Tuesdays meeting eight new
members were initiated, bringing the
total for the year to 228 recruits The
membership Of the S. P. A. e. is now
approximately 1,400, the growth being
very rapid. There are about fifty ap-

A new amendment to the bylaws
f1xes the minimum wages for prospect

new scale. it is thought, will limit the
the better grade men.
1t has been estimated that more
than $18,00O,o00 worth of automobiles
were stolen in this country last year.
Police investigations have disclosed
countrywide organizations formed for
the purpose Of stealing and disposing
of automobiles. Further records show
that for every hour of the clock, day in
and day out through the year, four
automobiles are stolen, and but ID per

Former Champion De-

for Long Island Laurels

One Of the features Of the play yes
terday in the Long Island tennis cham
pionship tournament on the Kings
County Tennis Club courts, Brooklyn,
was the victory Of Charles Chambers,
who has just returned from the A. e.
F. tourney in France. Chambers had
been in the United States only one
day; nevertheless, he quickly got into
his stride after he entered the lists and
defeated DR.. r. P. Barber by score
of 4-6, 6-1, Cd.
Chambers, a former holder of the
Long Island title, promises to become
contender with a little more practice.
| His drives carried force and he played
the lines we'll. Other important
maches in the days play were won by
S. Howard Voshell and Frank T. An
derson.
Voshell had little difficulty in down
ing his opponent, R. N. Haller, winning
in straight sets of 6--1, 6-2. His
drives proved too swift for Haller to
handle and he was always at the net
for quick returns.
Anderson showed splendid form in
defeating Jay W. Anderson at 4-6,
6-3, Cd. The youth covered his side
of the court very effectively and missed
few opportunities for points. His SER
vice was particularly battling to his
opponent.

Her Hero Sleeps i'm
France; "Perfect
Wife's" Love Lives
Widow of Major Baird Tells
of l8 Years of Romance:
Hair Grown Cray Since He
Fell Her Badge of Grief

1.-THE most perfect wife in the
world" as described in She will Of
Major Charles Gamble Baird, late of
1856 Jamaica Avenue, Richmond Hill,
Queens, who was killed in action in
France on April %, 1918, had just as
much love for her husband as he
had for her.
"She is the most perfect woman I
ever saw, heard or knew Of" said
Major .Baird's will, just offered for
probate in Queens.
"He was the best husband that
ever lived. Our married life of eigh-
teen years was IDEAL" said the widow.
Mrs. Teres Menyhart Baird, in her
home in Richmond Hill last night.
Mrs. Baird says she has aged ten
years since her husbands death. Her
hair, which was raven black when he
went off to war with the 413th Tele-
phone and Telegraph Battalion, of
which he was commander, is now
streaked with gray.
"Our love grew stronger each year
Of the eighteen we lived together"
said Mrs. Baird, "and it lives still,
even though my husband lies dead in
France. My whole thought now is
wrapped up in my son. Charles, eleven
years old. My greatest hope is that
ne will grow up to be just like his
Mrs. Baird told of the romance on
the shores of the Adriatic that pre-
ceded her marriage. During the early
Baird had served under General John
his term Of service had expired he
started on a tour Of the world. In
Fiume he met T'eres Menyhart, who
comes Of an old Hungarian family.
1t was a case Of love at first sight,
and it proved to be a love which, as
Major Baird said in his wilA "has.
never at any time diminished, but
has grown always, until I feel it has
reached q point that can reasonably
love-"
his bride came to America. They
went to live ia Jamaica and later in
Richmond Hill Mr. Baird became
connected with the Pennsylvania Rail-
road Company. At the beginning Of
the war General Pershing sent for
him, and he was offered a commission
as major.
"My husband came to me and said:
I cannot tell you in words how much
love you, but love my country
more,'" said his widow. IL said to
him: go and do your duty
Before he left" she continued, 'he
came to me and gave me beautiful
red rose and asked me if knew what
it meant. yes, it means true love-
I said. Then he told me that when
he returned he would give me another
red rose. But after he was wounded
he realized that he would never come
back to me. So two days before his
death he cabled to q florist in New
York ordering a" hege bouquet of red
roses sent to me. l knew he wanted
me to keep them always, and I will.
When I die want those faded roses
to be buried with me-"
