SQUIRREL ISLAND

The past few days at Squirrel have
been fairly busy ones, reminding one
Of former seasons when July was al
most as big a month as August.
Sunday evening Mrs. T. A. Greene
had a few guests in for tea. 1t was
a delightful little party.
Monday night found the orchestra
all ready to begin their season at the
Inn. They started out in fine shape,
the music being very much enjoyed
by those out in the lobby playing
bridge as we'll as those in dancing.
A number of cottagers were there
to lend their support at the opening
night. The music was not nearly as
loud as last years was, which fact
was especially noticed in the playing
of the saxophone. These hotel dances
will be held every Monday and Fri
day night from now on throughout
the season provided the orchestra
does not lapse into one of its more
rancous moods and let forth too
many lusty bellows.
Monday afternoon, July 10th, Mrs.
George Stevenson gave tea party
at The Squirrel Tea Shop, to which
many guests were invited. There
were four tables of bridge, which
made it a very enjoyable affair. Mrs.
Stevenson lives in Hartford, Conn,
but was formerly very prominent
Maine woman. She was at the island
only for the one day.
Tuesday evening found the Casino
open for another card party. This
one was by far the best that has
been held this year and the partcl-
pants seemed more enthusiastic than
they have shown themselves TO be
before. There were l. tables of play
| ers, the largest number that has
turned out so far. After the playing
had ended refreshments consisting Of
ginger ale, cheese and deviled ham
sandwiches were served, which were
enjoyed by all present. Mrs. Robert
Thomilson won first prize, receiving
lovely pink satin pin cushion. The
second prize went to Henry Ross,
who seeing nothing among the prizes
which he desired. chose very pretty
lace handkerchief which he most
kindly gave to his partner Miss Eliz-
abeth Junge. Mrs. Starbuck won the
third prize, which was a brass
matchbox holder, and the BOBBY
went to Miss Reed, which was an
ash tray to attach to the side of
table. Miss Mary E. Clapp had
charge of the affair again and we
will have to admit that she makes an
excellent hostess.
That same evening Miss Richer
and Miss Werpel had a few guests
in TO play bridge.
Wednesday was one of the hottest
days that we have had down here
this summer. 1t was 50 degrees in

and edging toward a parking space
by the time the facts are discovered.
At night, it often happens that a
traffic officer cannot tell which way
motorists want tQk turn because their
headlights blind him so he cannot
distinguish their signals. 1t may be
wise to dim when expecting CO.
operation for the officer.
Wear Where it Hurts
Looseness in certain parts Of the
car can be tolerated provided there
is no danger involved, but this is not
permissible in the case of loose
universal joints. Here one is deal
ing with big forces: engine torque,
movements of the propeller shaft
due to road inequalities and brake
action which tends to exert a force
opposite to that of the engine. 1t
may not seem to trouble the owner
to have the joints rattle or jerk but
that depends on how farsighted he
is. Sooner or later, this free action
, of parts actuated by such strong
forces will chip the pinion or the
ring gear teeth.

Three Traffic Tricks

To follow the street car or to fol-
low the car that is trying to pass
the street car is often the question
when one Is in hurry. And one
too often is fooled, usually by fail
ing to study the car and its driver,
Every motorist should know which
cars are quick on acceleration and
easy to shift. 1t is better to follow
the street car If the auto ahead is
slow or if it is driven by one who
does not seem to know how to mas
ter it.
Don't wait while erankng an en-

oil filters or purifiers. Among the
more important exceptions there IS

III. S. Big Ten Grid
Card Attracts

Morton High School Of Richmond
will go to Marion this evening for
the feature high school grid game
of the week end. The Red Devils
will meet the Marion Giants Saturday
afternoon in a game which may have
direct bearing upon the ultimate out
come of the Big Ten high school
race in Indiana.
Morton, with Mishawaka and En-
erson Of Gary, is one of the three
undefeated teams in the Indiana
high school football conference, and
Marion victory would narrow the
field to but two outstanding con-
| tenders.
Mishawaka, having finished ita
conference schedule undefeated, is
sure of at least a share in the title.
while Emerson of Gary and Morton
of Richmond have chances to win
joint honors. Central of Evansville
was put out of the race for first
place last Saturday when the South
Bend Bears invaded the downstate
city and defeated the Central eleven,
1870.
Two other conference games are
on this weeks program, but the
Marion Morton game will be the
feature.
Central of Evansville and Tech of
Indianapolis, were to clash here
this afternoon at Tech field. Both
have dropped decisions to South
Bend. Muncie and Elwood will clash
in the other conference game of the
weekend and critics are unanimous
in picking Muncie inasmuch as FL
wood already has dropped four con-
ference games and has shown no
signs of improvement.

announced today the new manager
of the local team to. succeed Ownie

Pittsburgh, probably would be ap-

due back in the city within a few

good men seeking the job. In fact,
according to the Tribe Sec" about
forty applications have been re-
ceived. Clauer would not say wheth.
er the new Tribe boss would be a
playing manager or bench pilot.
The latest addition to the Tribe
roster is Pitcher Leverett, right
handler. He was purchased from the

spring at their new training camp
at Sanford, Fla.
1t was announced a few weeks
ago that Pitcher Lloyd Davies,

but 1t seems as though Jersey City
owned Davies and it became neces-
sary for the Tribe to deal with the

southpaw was purchased.

here on a loan the past season, be.
comes Tribe property in the Henry
deal and the Giants will make up
the value of Davies with cash OF

Leverett was handicapped by i'll.

Indiana's invasion of South Bend
for a tilt with Notre Dame is of
especial interest, inasmuch as the
game will mark Coach Rockne's
only encounter with a State team
this year.
Notre Dame is heavily favored by
sport critics everywhere, but Indiana
can be counted upon to provide the
Irish with an interesting battle.
Wabash Slight Favorite
Wabash will come to Butler a
slight favorite to topple the Bull
dogs. The two teams are traditional
rivals and feeling is high in the
competing schools.
Wabash has come to Indianapolis
many times favored to win, and
almost as many times the Bulldogs
have managed to nose them out at
the finish.
One way Of doping the strength Of
these two teams, which is about as
uncertain as any other method, is
through the Lombard Bradley Tech
games. -
Two weeks ago Bradley Tech beat
Lombard, 1916. Last week LON
bard trimmed Butler, 1870, and
Bradley trimmed Wabash, 14-OI This
can be taken to mean that Wabash
is stronger, or it can be taken to
mean nothing at all.
Big Ten Feature
Purdue will go to Evanston for
the feature out-State game involving
an Indiana team. This battle also
will be the feature Big Ten game as
both Purdue and Northwestern are
undefeated in the Big Ten, although
Purdue has been tied by Wisconsin.
Northwestern is favored to win
from the Boilermakers by most
critics and the final score probably
will see the Purple still in the Big
Ten race, but Coach Jimmy Phelan
has his Boilermakers in excellent
condition and probably will give the
Purple a terrific battle. Chances
are great for an upset"
De PAW is favored to nose out
Illinois Wesleyan when the two
Methodist aggregations clash at
Greencastle. De PAW looks better
than in the past three seasons and
should halt the out-state eleven.
Earlham at Franklin
Earlham is F'ranklin's Saturday
opponent at Franklin. An age-old
feud between the schools will insure
close competition and hard fighting,
with the Baptists favored to win
the final decision.
Valparaiso invades Adrian and is
slightly favored to defeat the Michi
gan eleven. Hanover, by virtue OF
its victory over Evansville, is to be
the favorite when it plays host to
Indiana Central.
Evansville will play host to the
Rolla School Of Mines and it looks
like an uphill battle for the Purple
Aces. Eastern Kentucky Normal,
which meets Indiana State Normal
at Terre Haute, should provide all
the opposition the Terre Haute elev-
en- cares to handle in one after
noon.
