that Shaw was paying little attention to

Everett Scott, of the Red Sox, Gre
ated major league history by setting
a new record for playing in consecu-

pion "Iron Man" Of the majors, George
B. Pinckney, who engaged in 677 sue
cessive contests for the Brooklyn

tournament tennis and needs long
rest before starting up again. The
matches this year in the round robin
tournament at Chevy Chase and the
Middle Atlantic tournament which
Doyle won took too much out of him.

Haas had the second set and match
against Rixey all but won. Match

the junior section Haas was again
forced to the limit. Hillman won the
first set. dropped the second and was
well on the way to the third and
match when Haas determinedly won
out after Hillman was on the vantage
end of match point three times.
Fowlers performance against Bald

had won a set and the score stood at
8 all, Fowler pulled out the set at
S-6. In the third and deciding set

Winter Winds

The winter, slow dragging, is spelling
our lives; the wild winds are nagging
like Billingsgate wives; all day they are
ranting, they give us a pain; all night
they are chanting dippy refrain. The
wild winds are holder than wild winds
should be, and keener and colder than
bergs in the sea; they CONE and deliver a
smart and sting, and sufferers shiver
and clamor for spring. And spring will be
slippin, along pretty soon, and spring is a
pippin, with roses of June. And how we
will love her, the garlanded spring, when
mockingbirds hover around us and sing!
If winter were banished, to come back no
more, we'd find, when it vanished, that
spring is a bore. We wouldn't be CRATE
full for breezes of May, if winter, the hate
full were out of the way. The long night
is chilly, and plastered with snow; the
mercury's silly, it's fourteen below; and
thus we're in training the spring to enjoy;
so cut out complaining, and cheer up, my
boy.-Walt Mason Copyright by George

Close Quarters

A Pennsylvania laborer knows how to
keep pigs in the cellar, horse and cow
in the kitchen, himself, wife and eleven
children in the living room, and withal
keep his small habitation fairly clean, ac-
cording to Health Officer Matthew Barnes,
of Mifflin township. Barnes went out to
inspect sanitary conditions in the Jasknat-
ski HOMESTEAD, which is a small building
of two rooms and hole in the ground,
resembling a cellar. His first surprise
came when he entered the kitchen where
there was cow peacefully chewing her
cud and fairly good looking sorrel
horse. munching hay, with the kitchen
stove sitting placidly between the two and
the odor of boiling turnips and cabbage
filling the unoccupied space in the small
room. "What have you in the cellar?"
Barnes asked Mrs. Jasknatski. "Peegs,"
replied the woman. "Who occupies the
front room?" asked Barnes. "My hus-
band, 'leven cheeldren, two boarders, my
SELF" proudly answered Mrs. Jasknatski.
And then Barnes solved the riddle. Hang
ing from the ceiling on pulley ropes were
several mattresses. "Down at night, up
in the morning, see" said Barnes.-Ex.

What This Year Is

It's not only the year 1920 Ammo Dom
I'M; but it's also: The year IA of Amer
lean Independence; the year $500 of the
Jewish calendar; the year 1919 by the
old Russian calendar (by which New
Years Day comes on Jan. IA of our calen-
dar) the year 1888 by the Mohammedan
calendar, and the year 1886 by the Coptic
calendar; which is used in parts of Egypt
and Ethiopia.
1t is an interesting and little known
fact, by the way, that our calendar years
are not reckoned from the year of Christ's
birth; but from the fourth year after his
birth. Christ was born in the year B.
c., according to the majority of authori-
ties on such matters.
Somewhere, sometime, a mistake in
reckoning the years was made, which be-
came so firmly established that it was
impossible to correct the calendar after
the discovery of the mistake was made.

Official Date of End of War

A committee of councillors has been
named in London to decide the official
date of the ending of the world war. 1t
is declared that thousands of pounds are
involved in legal proceedings which have
been held up pending an authoritative de-
cision on the point. Interviewed on the
subject, prominent barrister said
recently:
$50 many war measures were passed,
such as the rents restrictions act and the
orders-in-council, that one must not trade
with the enemy or do this or that and the
other, and that the legal profession, gen.
orally speaking, is looking for guidance.
No one can possibly answer the question
offhand. Some contracts used the phrase
at the termination of hostilities'; while
others spoke of the duration of the war
and in each case the parties probably in
tended the same thing."-Exchange.
