Boston, April 24-New England Elks individually and through their lodges are earnestly urged by Grand Exalted Ruler Frank L. Rain to lend every possible assistance to the Sal vation Army in the 1920 Home Ser vice Appeal from May 10 to 20, in a personal letter to all the officers and members of the 1887 subordinate lodges, in which he says in part:
 '@The Salvation Army for certain economic reasons which had to do with saving the time of it's relief workers so that they might devote themselves to rescue work, announc- ed a year ago that instead of con stantly soliciting aims with which to maintain itself it would make one general appeal each year.

ND RIGHT WORK
 FOR FIRE HORSES

Clinton, Mass, April 24-t'Betty'' and Billy have gone back to the farm and C1inton's fire department has returned to motorized efficiency. An outstanding pair of browns, the horses were the pride of the fire fighters until they became the cause of their disgrace.
 Sleek and fat from a. farm in an adjoining town, they were obtained
 to pull the towns old fire engine while the new motor apparatus was
 being repaired. The browns swept out of the engine house to their first
 fire in a manner to make old fire men speak with happy reminiscences
 of the horse drawn days. Then came
 a night alarm.
 Back on the farm, Betty and Billy had been accustomed not to stir from sundown to sunrise, and no din of fire gong or urging by anxious i firemen would move them to answer the alarm. All the fire departments split-second aids to a quick start were lost on the browns They re- go to the blaze with chemical lines,
 and the town folks laughed.
 l The firemen vowed the thing would not happen again and the horses were put through @ stiff training.
 They went to the day fires with spir- 1 it, and the fire crew hoped they un- l derstood. But another night alarm 1 came, and again Betty and Billy would not move; once more the fire i men went afoot, hose in hand, and l again the town laughed at their dis | coTnfiture. The next day Betty and 1 Billy went back to the farm.

Lavigne and SiddOns
 Fought Long Bout

Kid Lavigne and George siddons fought 55 rounds to draw at Grand Rapids, Mich, on this date in 1889. The previous month the Saginaw Kid'' and the 'Iron Man" had fought, TT rounds to a. draw at Saginaw. This was Lavigne's first professional ring battle. These two long bouts against a veteran cele- brated for his ability to give and take punishment proved that Lavigne had the goods and he was matched n the next few years with nearly all of the best lightweights in America, md also whipped Joe Walcott, the great welterweight. Rather than risk battle with the little French Canadian, Jack McAuIiffe retired from the ring and turned over the title lightweight title) to Lavigne. The Kid then went to England and whipped Dick Burge, who was the lightweight champion of Great Britain but was nearer a. middle weight when Lavigne tackled him.

Williams and 'Tilden Regarded As Weak
 Members of Team

New York, April 24---MeGrdbers of the Davis Cup committee have made a selection of three men to repre- sent the United States in the inter national tennis com petition this year. The choice is an arbitrary one, based on past performances, and there is nd question about the soundness of judgment on the part of the officials as far as things have gone. But the general public which is interested in tennis, is wondering if the men who have been chosen are the best pos sible entries.
 Bill Johnson, the national cham pion, is without question a player who could not be passed up. The little Californian may not possess the physique of some of the players nor is he the spectacular shot maker that Maurice Mclaughlin was when he electrified the Britons in his first appearance at Wimbledon There is nothing of a pyrotechnic nature about the slight, red headed Westerner. He is all business on the courts and it is doubtful if there ever was a sounder and more steady player developed in this country
 Johnston is the ideal. type of ath- lete mentally. Physically nc. one would ever take him for a cham
 
 of Jake Shaefer when he was the king of the baEz1ine billiard play CTS. Tennis takes a lot of physical energy, much more than the major ity of sports, but billiards uses up lot of reserve force. Still, the frail built Schaefer was a champion and so is Johnston. These two might be called the kings of manipulation and the masters of strategy.
 Johnston is unquestionabIy a per feet selection. But how about Til den and Williams? This pair has proved in the past to be capable of the utmost bri1liance with the rac- quet. The style of game they play is much more spectacular than that of the national champion, but they don't get the same effects. Williams work with the army during the war has apparently du1led the edge of his play and the question arises will he be able to sharpen things up suf1- cient1y in time for the big events
 Tilden is ranked second among the thousands of players in the country, but that is based on the performance of a year ago. At Pinehurst Harold Throckmorton came within an ace of beating him outdoors and on the covered courts at Iongwood Dick Harte defeated him. This would leave one to believe that he is not invfncib4e by any means. He is one of the best players in the world when he is gong right, but he has tot much of a tendency to flights or CT ratio playing to make him a parti- - cu1ar formidable prospect for inter national competition.
 Four men will be sent to the other side for the contests and an addi- tioral member of the team will bf selected after a series of matches. The United States Lawn Tennis Assocfa. ton might have made a popular move if it had decided to hold al elimination contest open to all on the same lines as most of the Olympic teams are chosen. Williams ant sTi1den are very shaky prospects, 1T spite of their past performances, anC it(wou1d not be a bad idea to have them given a thorough test il tournament play before they arr sent abroad.

group of languishing young women

resort peopled principally by octoge-
marian gentlemen to whom a moon

other oportunity for a carnival OF
snores and other noisome abomlna-

and the effect which the arrival of a
single eligible male may have upon
the nuttering hearts of the pinine
maidens, Is made the basis Of Hal
Roach's latest single-reel comedy.

as the principal supplementary hlm
feature OF the bill arranged for yes

with empire coats, directoire trousers
and permanently waved hair. who
seemed to possess weird power over
the sirens of the veranda.
Tho usual news and topical short
reels completed the subsidiary por-

touch by the enthusiastically encored
violin rendition by Henri Sokolove of
the popular ballad 'If You Could

addition to the customary orchestra,
accompaniment of the pictured sub

The chief feature Of the early-week

drama, "Mid-Chanel," in which the
stellar role Is faultlessly portrayed by
Clara Kimball Young. and a complete
