| wish we could see him once more on court,
A gentleman brave in gentleman's sport;
The dashingest, smashngest bundle OF nerve

That made you just sit up and holer for him;

That redheaded Comet from out Of the West!
His game wasn't perfect--his backhand was weak
But boy, when in action he played like a streak!
Remember his service? His Voleying too?

That started you hoping and praying he'd win,
I'd yell till the buttons flew off of my vest,

Mclaughlin, Mclaughlin come back to the game!
You fought like wildcat you burned like a flame;
Though tennis stars brilliantly dazzle and shine,
There's with radiance equal thine.
For you gave to tennis glamor, thrill

PHILADELPHIA, Nov. IA
A dry Germany and Austria by
1880, worldwide prohibition
within a few years, and val
liable assistance in govern
mental affairs through woman
suffrage were forecast in
speeches at the worlds conven-
ton of the Women's Christian

waged in their countries against
intoxicating liquor.
Mrs. o. N. Kubishiro, of

to minors. More than 10000
600 minors are declared to be
protected by the measure.
