NEW TENNIS TITLES.

NEW YORK, March 24,-Three
national tennis championship events,
involving six titles in singles and
doubles have been added to the 1928
program Of the United States Lawn
Tennis Association.
The addition of these events-the
national interscholastie, municipal,
and girls hard court championships
increases to SO the total number
of titles at stake this year, a figure
which represents the greatest array
Of national championships in the
history of the net game and gives
further proof of the rapid develop
ment of the sport.
The national interscholastics are
being revived by the u. ST.. T. A.
this year after a lapse since 1915.
The other two tournaments, how
ever, are innovations and promise
to widen appreciably the scope Of the
court game.

PLAY SAFE, BETTER
NOT SAY 1T.

Bad news travels faster than
good news. There is an old saying
mo news is good news" Let a man
be converted at a church service
and there is not much Of a stir, but
let a resident be convicted of
some crime and the news leaps by
word of mouth from one end of
the community to the other.
How thoughtlessly unkind we
sometimes are when neighbors of
ours suffer misfortune! Troubles
are bound to come to US all in
some shape or form and what we
say about our friends and acquain-
tances today may apply to US to-
morrow. News is no respector Of
persons.
We are prone to consider the
ways of others not our ways when
we should be watching our own
step. What folks say Of one an
other sometimes hurts more than
anything they could have done.
News, either good or bad, grows
and becomes exaggerated and dis
torted with peddling. When the
news is good it makes no material
difference how it is exaggerated or
distorted-it can never do anyone
positive harm, But bad news, given
wings, may bring sorrow and ruin
upon people who certainly are not
deserving of punishment beyond
the penalty Of their mistake.
More charity for others will
mean more charity for ourselves
and we will gradually come to take
a keener delight in reporting some"
thing good Of some person than
something bad, Good is construc-
tive, bad is destructive. Just before
YOU are about to let out bit of
"bad news" stop and think a mo-
ment. See if you can't think Of
something good to say in place of
it. The chances are ten to one that
you can and that you will.

Every effort is being made, ac-
cording to Mr.. Campbell, to elm
mate or reduce to mini
mum all forms of adul-
iteration and misbranding in
foods that come within the juris-
diction of the Federal food and
drug act. Only a very small per
cent Of the great volume of food
that enters interstate and foreign
commerce is adultcrated or mis-
branded, there being undoubted-
~ less adulteration and misbrand-
ing in foods today than in any
otrer class Of merchandise. Only
a few years ago the practice Of
misbranding and adulterating food
products was quite general. That
the practice is decreasing is indi-

REMARKS FROM
d LAME DUCK.

Representative Kline Of Penn
sylvania is proud of being lame
duck " In a speech just made pub
lie by the Congressional Record,
says:
LET me remind you that when
you call a man lame duck you
place him in a class of the most
distinguished men of all time. Go
back a few years in our history
and you will find in that class such
men as Abraham Lincoln, Ulysses
S. Grant, James G. Blaine, Grover
Cleveland, William Mckinley,
Theodore Roosevelt, Champ Clark
and a host of other notables who
have rendered very great service
to their country"
This utterance would doubtless
have found its way into print re-
fore, if it had really been spoken
on the moor oil congress- AS II
happens, the gem was inserted in
the Record after the end of the
session, under the familiar 'leave
to extend remarks" 1t should be
none the less consoling to all lame
ducks, present or future.
A man fired from a public office,
like one fred from a private job,
can always soothe his wounded
feelings by thinking of the great
men subjected to the same humilia-
ton, and pity the uncomprehend-
ing employer who henceforth will
have to get along without his serv-
ices.

THE DESERT

49, 81 @J Ian
SALOME, ARIZ.
The Dessert is a Bogy that they use
to scare the tourist with.
1t really isn't very bad, its air is Of
the purest, with
A tingle and a sparkle that are
bound to make you vigorous
Although Of course the desert sun
is frequently quite rigorous.
But oh the tales that we were told
of motor-tourists lost in it;
And how they wandered days and
days by cruel sand-storms
tossed in it!
The roads, they said, were terri
BILE, untraceable, unseekable,
You'd have to hire flock of guides
through terrors quite I'M
speakable.
But none the less we took a chance,
we found a trail well tramped
in it,
And when the desert darkness fell
we pitched our tent and camp
ed in it.
No centipedes disturbed our sleep,
no rattlesnakes molested us,
Beneath a clear md starry sky we
cooked our meal and rested
The desert road was not SO worse,
I've travelled lots of tougher
ones,
1t had some soft and sandy spots,
and other chucky, rougher
ones.
But not one single mile of it would
worry or would scare a son
of MISSISSIPPI or Alabam', Boy,
there is no comparison!
If ever you should tour the west,
don't let the desert brighten
you.
The natives cross it every day, and
if you've pep and fight in you,
You'll navigate its shifting sands
and rocky roads, no doubt of
it,
An tell the world it's not so bad
as you come safely out of it..
