MEET SUZANNE
EARLY TODAY
(By Dispatch A. P. Wire)

PARIS. June 1O.-Miss Mary <.
Browne, captain of the American
wiehtman cup team, will have one
of her long desires fulfilled tomorrow
afternoon when she meets Suzanne
I,englen, the Incompatible French ten
mis- champion, in the final of the wom-
ems singles in the hard court cham
pionships.
Suzanne revealed some of the Sc
,crets of her play to the American
girl today, when, paired with Jacques
Rrugnon in the mixed doubles, she
exchanged volleys with Miss Browns
who had as her partner Baron Won
K Kehrling. To be sure, Suzanne was
on the winning side, but the match
did not end until the French pair had
dropped set to their opponents. The
score was AS, GA, 6-1.
Miss Browne is the last remaining
American in the singles events. Vim"
cent Richards, who until the semi
finals today loomed large as a con-
tended for laurels, could not match
the play of Henri Crochet, and lost to
the great surprise of everybody in
straight sets. Richards could not get
going at any time. The score was
6-1, ga, GA.
Rene Lacoste, by defeating Jean Bo.
rotra, S-6, S-6 6-2, ga, went into the

HEALTH-SEEKER
COLFS HIS WAY
TO The COAST

PHOENIX, June 10.-Various people
use various methods of curing the ills
that the human flesh is heir to. Char
ley f. Ainsworth, golfing enthusiast,
crippled during the occupation of Vera
Cruz, Mexico, by United States in 1914
will hike from San Diego to New Or
leans, driving a golf ball all the way.
Mr.. Ainsworth visited the Automo-
bile Club of Arizona to obtain all the
road information possible, maps, etc,
and will doubtless follow the main
street through Arizona route.
He allows 100 days to cover the
1900 miles, averaging around 25 miles
per day. He has no idea Of how many
golf balls will be worn out or lost
along the route, but says that is inn
material if his health improves as
expected from the exercise and change
OF environment.
Mr. Ainsworth told the automobile
club officials of other long hikes
taken in the past, one from Portland
Me-, to San Francisco. requiring a
year; another from Tampa, Fla, to
Portland. Ore, nearly as long.
The idea of driving the golf ball as
means of diversion was brought
about by his playing experience. He
expects to average 100 yards to the
stroke, stating that he would doubt.
less use more than 20 strokes to the
mile while passing through some cities
such as Bisbee, but in the open very
few miles would require that many.
This trip is for the purpose of build
ing up his health, and steady progress
at a reasonable speed is his aim, no
records to be broken or established.

GA. NAMES
MEN FOR TUG
OF WAR TEAM

A team of huskies whose total
displacement far exceeds that of the
water in the American Legion pool"
has been named by George Dave,
smelter superintendent here of the
C. and A, to represent that smelter
during the fourth of July celebration
in tug-of-war with the c. @.
team.
There will be 10 men on each team
and the c. and A. crowd are quite
tickled over the fact that they have
there lineup practically arranged,
while the Copper Queen has failed to
date to show it's stuff. Mayor A. e.
Hinton has charge of procuring a
team from the queen, however, and
announces that he will have 10 plants
in tow for the great battle.
Harry A. Clark, general manager
of the C. and A. has stated that he
will be on hand for the affair and
it is rumored that he will act as
anchor. Secret whisperings also have

to fluster this attempt, however, by
having each man carry tear bomb
for application in case of emergency.
The prize for the winning team
in this encounter will be $50 in
cash with each man on the victorious
bunch to receive $500.
Seven men have already been named
for the c. and A, outfit as follows:
Jack Hill, captain; Jack Gibbons,
George Gmahling, Louis Crossett,

attanment-these things stamp clear
ly the American philosophy of fair
play and the province of government
only to preserve that fair play so
that individual effort is stimulated.
This is a very precious philosophy
holding the key to Individual pros
perity and it is a philosophy distinct

Guy Crouch speaking of the OBJ
ject of joining the Kiwanis club, re-
ferred to Adam as the original joiner
who set a precedent which it, was
incumbent upon all men to follow
first, in matrimony, and second, in a
club, in order to propagate and estab
| Iish the principles for which the or
ganization stood.
Douglas Cooper said that the main
fault of the organization was the
Iprocrastination of the individual who
put off until tomorrow what should
be done today. He told the story of
the eagle who, flying with turtle
in it's beak dropped the object on an
unsuspecting mans head and killed
him. He added that if every XII
warfian would live with the thought
that each minute were his last for
performing a service he would ac-
complish more for himself and his
community
w. J. Jackson told his brethren
what constitutes a systematic XII
wanian. He stated that the five re-
quisites are: Attendance of meet
ings, living of Kiwanian principles,
losing self in work and service, be-
lieving and practicing the Golden
Rule and sacrificing and service.
| w. H. Meischer summed up the
fundamentals in the development Of
club in the elucidation of the circle
of service in which the individual
serves his club, his community, his
state and his country, and is in his
turn served by those organizations to
the extent that he serves.
L. S. Perrin recommended a friend
lly, CHEEKY greeting from every XII
wanian to competitors and the gen.
eral public that Kiwanian might be
recognized by his affability and good
will.
H. Shropshire said that the XII
wants club was valuable to the COM
munity for the services which it rem
dered, and that each Kiwanian who
knew what the club had done and
failed to do was a judge of the ex-
tent of it's success.
E. j. Huxtable recounted an ap-
proprfate anecdote about the steam
ship which, owing to lack of steam,
could not whistle and go forward at
the same time. Bringing the story
home, he said that if Kiwanians and
the community in general would quit
blowing the whistle. and get behind

BALTIMORE June 1O.-In a death
house cell which he perhaps never
will leave until he begins his walk to

prerogative in his battle to escape the

by Criminal Court Judge Eugene
O'Dunne today, Whittemore, through

appeal to be taken before the Mary

which made us peculiarly exposed to
the second menace. For in the years
of inconclusive peace, when industry
could not rebuild, or at best slowly,
we found a period of defIation in
economic conditions. We maintained
an honest currency until the gold
standard recovered. 1t is now as
suming the basis of stability for for
eign trade.
But the greatest menace, the most
deadly menace, that of government
political theories that may touch peo-
pie for years after war has ended, we
have seen fail, as elsewhere. We
have seen these theories tried at
home, have had an example at our
very doors. We have seen the public
operations of railroads tested in ac-
tual practice, and we well know the.
loss and wreckage produced by the
railroad blockade, the hampering of
facilities of transportation in this
country.
Railroad batting in this country is
no longer popular. The railroads
have proved that given fair chance
they could attract into the field the
same energy, force and initiative as
in other industries, and they are
handling today the vast commerce of
one million cars week without a
blockade.
American industry has always
proved itself intelligent. Public
service has accepted the theory of
the protection of public interest by
Intelligent regulation. Intelligent in
dustry and fair-minded public opin-
ion have evolved a new theory of
regulation under which we have all
prospered. We have been able to
preserve the driving power and energy
of public service and have developed
it as nowhere else in the world.
'sThis is best exemp1ified in.
the great American telephone and tel
egraph system, a giant monopoly Of
quick communication, which owns H.
100000 telephone connections which
can be reached from every home in
the United States, reaching from Cuba
to San Francisco. The scientists of
this company recently perfected al
new metal alloy, which 'on a SUBJ
marine cable carries five times the
messages of any previously :, known
wire. The cable just stretched across
the Atlantic of this new alloy is thei
equivalent of five separate cables,
under a system which might still be
modern except for the successful
fruition to months and years @of pa
tient research, which often seemed
without result.

SOLDIERS RAISING SHEEP CAMP LEWIS
 PAYING DIVIDENDS
HERD OF OVER A THOUSAND FURNISH POST WITH PLENTY
 MONEY FOR DIVERSIONS

SEATTLE, May II, (P.-Though reindeer meat is being boomed here to supplant tfme-honored mutton and roast beef because of dwindling graz ing areas for sheep and cattle in the Northwest, there's yet one old style ranch which is paying attrac- tive dividends.
 Its a sheep range, tended by sol diers of the U. s. Army post of Camp Lewis, famous training centre of Western drafts in the World War, and it's profits are going to provide movies, boxing gloves, and other di- versions for the garrison.
 Originally begun as an agriculture experimental school for soldiers, the ranch is now bossed and managed like any other stock raising enter prise with an eye to make it pay.
 From a flock of 500 sheep it has grown to almost twice that number, besides bringing in large juicy chunks of revenue. There are now 1885 sheep roaming the lands set apart for grazing purposes. For time the ranch also had herd of twenty cattle, some swine, and about 500 chickens, but the soldiers found that sheep-raising produced more base balls, bats and gloves, and so are specializing on shearing.
 Oddly enough the herders are not country-raised lads, but soldiers who once were city chaps. There is, how ever, one ex-cowboy who apparently has lost all sense of the dignity of his former profession, with its feud against sheep-herders, and now tends the scampering ewes and rams with touching solicitude.

BEST METHOD OF
COMPUTING TIRE
COST EXPLAINED

Motorists are rapidly accepting
the policy of the largest users of
tires in computing tire costs, ac-
eording to j. p. Roberts. of Z. S.
Grant Auto Equipment Co.. Fire
stone dealers.
THE biggest taxicab and bus
companies in the United States,
Mr. Roberts said, "do not base
their tire costs on the original price
of their equipment but on the fin
al cost or the cost per mile.
With the large highway trans
nortation companies of the coun-
try investing thousands of dollars
annually in tires. they must know
thc exact cost of their equipment.
The difference in tires costs may
mean the difference between profit
and loss in operation for these big
tayicab and bus companies.
The specdomfter reading be-
comes an important item in their
bookkecping They figure the ac-
tual mileage obtained from their
fires and thus compute from the
first cost the actual cost per mile.

orriviug at the true value of tire.

have found that. based upon cost

The fact that motorists are ne
ccptin@ the cost per mile as the
real standard of tire value is fac
TOR responsible in great degree for
the over increasing demand for
FircStoncs.
