Ask Dad He Knows!

It was little Ethels first visit to
the post exchange. Her father,
marine corps captain, had dropped in
to buy some necessary articles and
had taken along his ive-year-old
daughter for company.
The businesslike private drew a
pencil from behind his ear, jotted
down the sum total Of the captains
purchases, wrapped up the articles
in a parcel, gave the captain his
change, and proceeded to straighten
up his temporarily disordered stock.
Little Ethel watched the brisk move

the keenest interest, but said nothing
until her father was ready to leave.
Then she clutched at his coat sleeve
and asked, just loud enough for the
embarrassed private to hear:

Thugs Act Is Stopped
by Engine Headlight

Uniontown, Pa.-The glaring
headlight Of an engine on the
Pennsylvania railroad here
thwarted an unidentified man,
who, after throwing a rope
around the neck Of Mrs. Eliza

dragged her into swamp. Mrs.
Chambers had gone to the place
to meet her husband.
Mrs. Chambers said she ar
rived first and was awaiting her
husband, when a rope was
thrown about her neck and
drawn taut, and she was dragged
toward the swamp.
Just before she lapsed into un-
consciousness, Mrs. Chambers
said, she saw the glaring head
light of an engine which had just
rounded a curve. This evidently
caused her assailant to flee, for

~ INDIVIDUAL VICTORIES
By PAUL PREP

League. The Quakers copped the 1922
crown yesterday afternoon by beating
Camden High on the courts of the Mer-

The win gave Penn Charter its eighth
championship In the last eleven years.
1t also brought back the cup for the
6rst time since 1919.
In 1920 both Penn Charter and West
Philadelphia had crack teams. They
beat everything In sight before they met
as opponents. When they did Penn
Charter emerged victorious, B to 2.
When the scholastic fans Of this city
learned that Penn Charter had beaten
the Speedboys they thought the victory
gave the Quakers the championship.
Rut such was not the case. The title
Was decided on individual scores, as is
the case now, and the West Philadel.
nbians had won the most individual
matches. This gave them the cham.
pionship.
This wear, too, both schools had great
teams. And they beat all opponents
before they met on the same court. This
time west Philade, Hhia was victorious,
3 to 2.
Yesterdays matches decided the
championship. Had the Quakers dropped
a single individual match the West
Philadelphia team would have entered

A cable from Jack Kearns is TO the

to be in the amount of S30O,0 900. ac.
