are three strata of prices on the market, e. g. the cut-rate price, the theater box office price, and the regular ticket agency price.
 A more ridiculous system could scarcely be devised. but it bas been working the public for years. The native sophisticates, who know the ins and outs of the situation, know where they can get their admissions at the lowest rate: the visiting tourist" totalling 3o0,0o0 a day, with no time or inclination to dis cover "the ropes" go to the box of fees. find the houses "sold out" and
 frequently discover they can get all
 the tickets they need at the high
 price agencies.
 Now the theaters have decided to
 unite in one agency to end the
 gougins process. The unfavorable
 publicity of the past few weeks has
 shown up the theater managers as
 having connived at the system and
 this was expected to hurt bus
 ness.' It is thought the central of-
 flee to be opened by the producers
 will eliminate complaints: at least.
 no two sets of books will be kept.
 This will be some progress in the
 name of justice; but we rather think
 hen the embattled visitors come to town next fall, ready and willing to spend every nickel brought from home, that somebody will devise a new scheme to get their money. Getting the money Of visitors is the chief industry along Broadway. So long as the visitors like it, who should worry"

THE ANNUAL FIELD DAY

The ambition of various Boy Scout troops in this city to get Troop of the Center Congregation al church was laudable. But it was not to be. This troop on Saturday set up a record of winning the stel- lar honors at the annual field meet for 13 consecutive seasons. Ever since 1915 this troop has landed on top each year. It may be a bit monotonous-for the other fellows but that sportsmanship which is so nobly cultivated in the Boy Scout organization will not hesitate to cN- tend full honors to the troop for it's remarkable achievement.
 The troop this year is composed of 30 boys, and under the direction of Leon Bradley, scout master. and lads won top honors in first aid, Morse and semaphore code signal ling, fire by friction. pacing, scout craft, and other scouting attain ments. Their department was ideal and the trained judges who func- toned at Walnut Hill park Saturday had no difficulty in coming to a decision.
 It was a neat touch to give a special prize to the bugle and drum corps from the Newington Home for Crippled Children. This was the only musical organization entered, and the bugle and drum corps play CTS. brought to the ground as a special attraction. got the maximum from the Home were vastly pleased at the attention and the special prize, and the heartstrings of park visitors were pulled to the, break ing point upon noting the pleasure that the crippled lads took in their contribution to the event. There is something about the Newington home which makes their guests hap py, and the special prize will be something the children will talk about for a long time.

T|LDEN IS BEATEN
 BY RENE LA C0STE
Philadelphian Loses Close Tennis
 Match to French Star

Saint Cloud, France, June JP) As alert and tireless as the hero of a Dumas novel, Rene LaCoste. the D'Artagnan of Frances three musketeers." of the tennis court, de- feated William T. Tilden II yester- day in the finals of the international hard court championships at the Stade Francais.
 It was hard match for the tall Philadelphian to lose. It's closeness was indicated by the fact that the match went five sets. the last of which ran 20 games before Tildens hopes to re-establish himself as the foremost tennis player of the world were shattered by a double fault. The set ended 11-9 in LaCoste's favor.
 LaCoste, who was as cool as ha is reputed to be and as tireless as steel, won because he was able to wear Tilden out. Methodically he went about his business of tiring his opponent. His baseline drives and criss-cross shots had Tilden running all over the courts, which LaCoste coolly and internationally stood his ground. returning Tilden's hot drives as serenely as if they were lobs.
 LaCoste got the jump on Tilden by taking the first set before his oppon- ent had warmed to his work. But Tilden opened his attack in the sec ond. broke the Frenchman's service twice, and won. That made it 1-all, and the next was bitterly contested. Tilden won. 7-5. and with the sets 2-1 Tilden's chances seemed good
 But LaCoste came back, took the fourth easily and entered the fifth battling flercely. The match went almost an hour before Tilden suc- cumbed.
 The scores were: First, 6-4. La- Coste: second, S-4, J'ilden; third. 7-5. Tilden; fourth 6-S, LaCoste; fifth. 11-9. LaCoste.
 In the finals of the women's cham- pionships Miss Bouman of Holland won from Miss Peacock of South Africa, 6-2. G-4.

All stages Of clothes moths are killed by the fumes given off by gum camphor: hence camphor. to be most effective should be broken into small pieces and used in tight which will confine the fumes While camphor dies kill some eggs and larvae when sprn- kled in small pieces upon infested cloth in open containers such as bureau drawers. pockets of clothing, etc, it is not to be depended upon except where the fumes given off by evaporation can be closely confined with the clothing to be protected.
