BY CHARLOTTE C. WEST, M. d.

IF tennis were to become part Of the
physical education curriculum in our
girls schools, as it is in the big girls
schools in Britain, it would undoubtedly
go far toward developing higher type
Of healthy womanhood.
There is very great need among
girls and young adult women for a sport
Of just this kind. because tuberculosis
is increasing in girls between the ages
of Is and IS.
Many young women who are in ap-
parent good health are thin to emacia-
ton in the upper portion OF the body,
and the face very frequently shares the
condition. TIE trouble is undoubtedly
caused by a weak and defective breath
ing apparatus, and tennis gives the kind
of physical training that exercises the
chest muscles and develops the heart
and lungs.
Tennis is a strenuous game. and it
should not be entered into by girls with
any weakness of the abdominal organs
or tissues. for there is always the posi-
bility of putting too much strain on
these tissues.
On the other hand, those with physi-
cal defects require recreation even more
than those who are not physically hand
icapped Therefore, every precaution
must be taken to regulate the character
and amount Of work entered into by
those below par physically.
These girls will have sufficient exer-
else by tossing the ball back and forth
for 10 or Is minutes at a session.
Tennis Is game of skill. 1t requires
years Of practice to become a good
player, and as the interest in it never
wanes it Is a splendid sport for young
girls to engage and develop in. Helen
Wills began at Is. Other famous play
ers started their novitiate at about the
same age, but younger girls scarcely
have attained the height and strength
to meet with any degree of success
other than hitting the ball from one
end Of the court to the other.
The entire success of the game de-
ponds on the long, free sweep Of racket,
with perfect freedom of the arm. A
racket weighing 13 ounces is heavy
enough II the wrists and forearm are
strong. Handling ones racket correctly
Is almost an art.
The position in playing tennis is very
important. The elbow must be free
from the side, the body Is thrown we'll
back as the ball Is thrown up, and the
player lungeS forward to meet 1t as the
blow is struck.
AS the ball is never met standing
still. the game brings into action all
parts Of the body. Professional players,
such as Suzanne Lenglen, for example, |
exaggerate this feature Of their play to |
such an extent that they seem to be
1eaping in the air with gestures Of
infinite grace and beauty.
Tennis takes its players out into the |
open air and keeps them active there, |
breathing fast and deep and exercising |
the entire body, but putting more stress |
on the chest and arms.
The warm sunlight, the fresh air. the |
accelerated breathing are an ideal treat
ment for overcoming any inherent

Modern Picnic Methods

ITS picnic time. Once going on .
picnic meant packing lot of sand
wiches and hardboiled eggs, wrapped in
waxed paper, in shoe boxes; packing
slices Of layer cake in another box,
putting some oranges and bananas in
bag, and starting forth. When you
reached the scene of the picnic you
tried to find source of pure water.
Perhaps you were able to get pail Of
1t at neighboring farm house: perhaps
there was a reliable spring or brook
nearby. If not you went thirsty.
Now going on a picnic means packing
sandwiches and salads and cold meats
in an automobile refrigerator, with milk
and ginger ale, coffee, cream, cheese
and butter, as well. And putting hot
coffee in a vacuum bottle, and cold
soup in big vacuum jar. The picnic
menu. because of these easier methods
OF preserving food, may be elaborate
but easy.
The result is that people like picnic
meals although they used to dislike
them. Men, many of them. would pre-
fer now to carry along picnic lunch
rather than stop at a roadside restau-
rant for lunch or dinner. Just by

conveniences we can all eat as sump-
tuously. as deliciously. as once only the
rich. who could afford servants and all
sorts Of complicated and cumbersome
equipment, could eat at a picnic.
The vacuum bottles and jars are the
greatest picnic conveniences, for they
make 1t possible to have hot and cold
things without trouble. 1t is sensi-

FOOD PROBLEMS
Spring Chicken.
NJ SALLY MONROE.

One trouble often encountered by the
inexperienced cook when she tries her
arts with Spring chicken is that she
does not cook it thoroughly enough. 1t
burns before 1t is really cooked through.
An excellent bit of advice on the cook
ing of Spring chicken comes from an
old Southern cook. She always 'smoth-
ers" 1t first, she says.
What is smothering? Well, she puts
the chickens in buttered pan, adds a
little boiling water, puts on a tight
cover, and puts them in the oven for
20 minutes. They steam through. Then
she broils them, after busting them with
a little pepper and salt. They are
tender and thoroughly cooked by the
time the broiling process is completed.

Immerse an ink stained hand

after 1t has been stained, allow
1t to soak, and the ink will dis

Prunes should always be pre-

Of salt should be added to each

prunes in warm water, then
cover with Geld water and set on

Prunes should not boil.
When making marmalade grease

Brooms and all sweeping

not in use. If left standing on

Increase Is Noted
In Game Numbers
In North Dakota
Maurek Says Deer Have Spread
Extensively; Ducks and
Geese Decrease

Wild birds and animals Nhave in
creased considerably in North Dakota
with the exception OF ducks and
geese, a comparative study Of game
conditions by the state game and fish
department indicates.
Deer were said by Burnie Maurek,
state game and fish commissioner, to
have spread 'very extensively
throughout what We call the sandhill
region and some can be found along
the valleys of the James and Shey-
enne rivers"
A slight improvement was noted in
the increase Of antelope in the Bad
Land country, and It was estimated
about 80 head exist. Ruffed grouse
or partridge showed heavy increase
because OF an unusually favorable
Matching season and good weather last
winter. This species can only be found
in the Turtle Mountain and Pembina
mountain areas.
Sharp-tailed grouse and prairie
chicken have increased at least SO per
cent over last year, and the increase
has been noticeable all over the state,
Maurek said.
Sage grouse are prevalent only In
the southwestern part Of the state,
and Maurek found they are "about
holding their own as there has been
no noticeable decrease"
Owing to the climatic conditions Of
