ment Of the automobile casualties for
the past year.
Tho automobiles have been increas-
Ing fast In number. Tho casualties
have been increasing. That the cas-

automobiles have been is not so GER

improvement Of the regulations.

pearl button factories considered in
this treatise drew a total OF $217,2SS
in wages and salaries or an individual
yearly average of about $50S. The
working year in the industry for the
three years averaged forty-five wepl;s
u six days each.
.,, The Advance in Cost
The advance in cost Of the mater
ials andpsupplies so necessary to the
pearl button industry of Missouri, in
cluding mussel shells. is indicated by
the fact that in 1919 this portion Of
all ndisburse ments represented 36.1
perr cent of the first Wholesale worth
of all buttons manufactured in the
state, compared TO 2s.S per cent for
! 9 lB;lahS nearly 80 per cent for 1871.
Returns from Mlssouri's eight
pearl button factories for 1919 indi-
cate that 1,17O.77s gross of pearl
buttons. varying in size from a quar-
ter OF an inch to two inches, were
sold that year. Some OF this output
was manufactured in 1918. Three
button 'blank factories In 1919 sold
245,153 gross a portion OF these sales
representing 1918 manufacturing.
The output OF button blanks, must
not be added to the total of sales of
complete pearl buttons for the reason
that II would mean a duplication of
the major portion which were sold to
a finished, and. finally. marketed by
Missouri factories ..,s..

Tennis Clubs
Should Back
Boy Players

Some time ago the Boys Her
aid published an article showing
the lack of good tennis material
in Washington. Several boys
have written to the editor and
most of them think the blame
is due to q, lack of boys clubs.
Some of the boys put the
trouble in lack of funds, point
ing out that the few clubs that
are organized in the city for
boys who play tennis, consist
OF boys who can afford both the
time and expense. In order to
join one of these clubs an. en-
trance fee is required and also
a contribution for the upkeep
of the courts.
Tennis racQuets are costly. It
Is hard to obtain one for less
than IS and balls average from
80 to 60 cents. II the tennis
racquet strings break or loosen
it will cost 81 or 50 to repair
II. So it can be readily seen
that the tennis game Is one that
few boys can afford that is in
the organization form.
Business clubs should help
finance the clubs. In the mu-
nicipal courts a fee is necessary.
You pay for the use of the
courts on certain days and then
you can only play for a certain
limit of time. Tennis is not an
easy game It requires practice
and that can't be obtained with
out a tennis court which can
be, used at any and all times.
There are hundreds of strokes
to work up and IL is hard to
master any one of them with
out practice. We will be glad
to hear from anyone who is in
terested in the development of
tennis among boys.
