Weeds in Tennis Court

EXCEPT when the clay tennis court is used
daily and kept in condition with the roller
and hoe, weeds and grass manage to dot the
surface. This is not serious If it occurs only
here and there, but one likes TO play on a
smooth court without blemishes
There is one sure way to keep vegetation
from the court, however, and that is 10 make
the soil salty. One hundred pounds of rock
salt will cost but little if you get the kind used
to make ice cream. This quantity, if sprinkled
evenly over the court, will soon dissolve and
turn the soil alkah. And but few kinds Of
plants can grow in salty soil.
To prevent the salt from reaching grass out-
side the court, you can set strips of tiHAn the
ground on the court line, all the way around.
These strips should be or inches wide. If
you cannot get the tin, strips of wood viii do,
but the tops should be level with the ground
to prevent tripping.
One good shower win dissolve the salt. When
the court gets hard and crusted, go over it with
a garden rake, using some pressure then roll
the looSened top down with a roller. A spray
from the garden hose will soften the top II it
has baked in the hot sun.

born Of humble parents IN the year 1872 and
his early years were years of extreme poverty
and family misfortune At one time, indeed,
his father was lodged in Jail for debt, and lit
tie Charles had to work at all sorts Of poorly
paid jobs to help share the family burden.
Poorly fed he was and he lived in the poorest
districts, but the experiences were never for
gotten. In fact, he obtained in these early years
of hardship many of the ideas that he after
ward put into his famous books "Oliver Twist"
is one of these and is a story of the lives OF
the poor with whom he was so well acquainted.
Dickens failed to receive sound education in
universities, for his parents could not afford to
send him to college, but he studied alone when
ever the opportunity offered and he soon OBJ
tanned employment that was more suited to his
literary tastes and which brought him the
money he sorely needed. Soon he was pro-
ducing novel year and keeping that up for
almost IA years.
You have perhaps read some of the books
written by Dickens, and if you have not, you
should and probably will, for they are among
the greatest published in English. Among these
are "Oliver Twist Nicholas Nickleby" Bar
naby Rudge," Martin Chuzzlewit" "DOmbey
and Son. David Copperheld," "A Tale Of Two
Cities" and the "Pickwick Papers"
Charles Dickens died in 1870 and was buried
in Westminster Abbey in London.

running so that the temperatures
are comfortable for the chicks. II
the weather is warm, yet the chicks
are not old enough to do without
heat, it is not always possible to run
the temperature low enough by re-
ducing the amount of fuel consumed
to make them comfortable, and more
ventilation is the only answer to it.
Often a mistake is made by taking
the heat away from chicks complete
ly because it is late enough in the
year that it would seem they could
do without it. 1t is not safe to take
heat away from chicks until they are
reasonably well feathered, even
though they are Matched late in the
year. Heat ought to be continued at
least for five or six weeks.
Sometimes the idea is expressed
that we can put more chicks in the
house in May and June because they
are out doors more. would rec
Ommend that less chicks be put in
the house through May and June
than are housed earlier in the sea-
son. The difficulty is not during the
daytime but when the birds go to
roOst at night. During the hotter
weather it is necessary that they
have a chance to spread out more so
that they can keep comfortable at
night.
Disease is more likely to hit the
late hatch chicks on account of the
fact that they get on the ground
earlier and range farther 1t is very
necessary that late chicks be brood
ed on clean ground if we want to
keep away from trouble with Coccid-
iosis and worms, and they should
not be allowed to range with the
flock of laying hens.

average man essys a rather homeless
task in trying to engage in securitv
speculation as a continuing. proff-
able enterprise.
You have probably heard at one
time or another that security snecu-
.lation is an 'absurdly easv wav IN

the knowledge and experience of an
economist, a statistician, an insider.
an anlyst, and an expert operator,
the odds are very heavy against YOU.
You may win in isolated cases by
capitalyizing reliable, inside 'infor-
.matiOn, or by hitting it right" but
you cannot stay in the market and
come out on the right side of the
fledger by haphazard methods.
The man who said that successful
hsecurity speculation is "the most la
borious form of acquisitive enter
prise" spoke a mouthful, to. use the
Ivernacular. Speculation in bsecuri-
ties is looked upon by the most sue
,eessful market operators as a busi-
ness and not as guesswork or a
gamble. They devote as much time
and energy an dstudy to this activ-
ity as the successful business man
Nevotes to his affairs. They learn to
absorb the sense of the market, the
changing sentiments, and to pick
Sound values. And by study and
cautious trading they become sue
6essful
1t should be obvious that the man
who sets out to "beat Wall Street"
without knowledge, experience and
sufficient funds is travelling a poor
road to a fortune. He can only guess
how far a rise or a decline may 60
He cannot properly judge underly-
ing conditions, and, consequently, he
cannot make money consistently. He
may secure the advantage of short
upward movements, but usually the
minor depressions wipe him out be-
>folc he has a chance to support his
purchases.
Before you try to beat Wall
Street" find out if you have the
necessary qualifications and if you
Ican give all your time to it, for
beating Wall Street" is no part
pine job. If you have not and can
mot, you will do better to keep your
money in the savings account, in life
Insurance, or in good, tested bonds.
If you have money with which you
&cam afford to take a "flier", get the

you hear man say, 81 bought chicks
about the first of June last year, and
they laid all winter. They did me a
lot of good, and l made some real
money out of them"
1t is harder to do good job of
raising chicks that are Matched in
May and June than it is those earlier
in the season. 1t is not impossible,
however, to raise a higher percent
age of chicks Matched during these
months, nor TO make good profitable
prUuucers out OF them.
One of the reasons we have more
trouble with May and June chicks is
that the poultryman is usually buster
this time of the year and does not
give the chicks as good attention as
he does earlier chicks. Anyone who
has had the experience of brooding a
February, March or April brood and
then putting some chicks out May or
June has more or less let down on
giving them close attention.; when
Jne truth is, May and June chicks
need as much, if not more attention
than those Matched earlier.

CHAMPS ARE BENT
ON KEEPING TITLE
Squad Will Report Tuesday,.
Twenty six Games Listed.
Boyd Again Coach.
BY EDWARD A. FULLER. JR.

Not far from 100 candidates for
Tech High Schools basket ball team
are scheduled to report for first practice
Tuesday.
Coach Artie Boyd, former University
Of Maryland athlete, who has directed
the Mckinley tossers for the past two
seasons and piloted them to the public
high title both years, again will handle
the squad.
"WeIl finish about second or third
this season." said Boyd today.
why can't you win again--mat 2rial
not so good?" we asked
st guess the material is all right,
Artie said, but we can hardly expect
to win three times in a row"
Just the same, you can bet that Boyd
has high hopes of grabbing that flag
again. Tech has lost some stellar play
ers. to be sure, but 1t has several high
class performers at hand and from the
raft of new material available probably
will get some players who also VIII
prove valuable.
DependabIes who have been lost are
Bob MacCartee and George Lassisse,
regular guards last season, and Tom
Wilson, who also was a flrst-string
guard; Jake Diversion, center, and
George TaIDufJJ, forward,
Those upon whom Tech Is counting
heavily are Capt Everett CHoneyboyl
Russell, forward; Nal Johns, guard and
center; Everett Johnson, guard; Bernie
Reichhardt. Jimmy Reed and wheeler,
forwards, and Buck Beach, center
A schedule of 81 games has been ar
ranged and a couple more probably VIII
be added. 1t is doubtless the hardest
and longest card ever arranged tor
Tech quint.
In order to get through with this
schedule, Boyd figures to carry con-
siderably larger squad. Last year ne
had II on the roster. This season the
squad will be close to 80.
In addition to its eight games In the
public high series, high spots OF the
Tech card include matches with Catho-
lie University freshmen, University OF
MARYLAND freshmen, Gonzaga, Staunton
Military Academy, st. Johns OF An
napolis freshmen, Episcopal, Hagers-
town High and Hyattsville High. one
game each probably will be arranged
with the George Washington ana
