century bright lad in Italy thought
of stretching four or five leather strings
across the glove, so that with the
fingers slightly bent the shock of the
stroke fell upon this crude little net -
and there was the germ of the tennis
racket. Of course it was an easy step
from that to moving the leather strung
glove off the hand and putting
handle on it, though for the next
three centuries the handle was so
short that a modern player couldn't
have done much with it.
Finally. in 1873, people began to
play tennis outdoors in England, and
the modern game was developed.
In May, 1874, Miss Mary
Outerbridge. member of prominent
family in Bermuda, came over to
New York with net and some rackets
and balls and introduced the game for
the first time to America. 1t was at
first taken up largely by society folk
and, not being played as strenuously
as it is now. often appeared as mixed
doubles, with ladies in long skirts and
corsets waving Intellectual rackets at
the ball. 1t was regarded by the laity
as pretty feeble stuff

modern squash or rackets game.
1t wasn't only kings and mobiles who
played. The Venetian ambassador to
France wrote home at the close of the
sixteenth century that there were
1900 tennis courts in Paris.
And did players take the game seri-
ously in those days! We read of two
noble lords, the Earls of Southampton
and Montgomery. falling out over
game in 1910 so violently that their
rackets flew about their ears" Try
to imagine Don Bulge and Fred Perry
beating each other up with rackets!
Even the ancient Greeks and
Persians liked to throw ball about,
and by the twelfth or thirteenth CEN
fury players were smacking it back
and forth to each other with their
hands, as in modern handball. Then a
barrier, the predecessor of the net, was
set up between the players. and in the

This reserve is not held as cash in the
vaults. 1t is invested to earn interest, which
is the second factor entering into the cost
of life insurance. When calculating the pre-
MUM to be paid, the company assumes the
obligation to add interest to the reserve
each year during the life of the contract at
q definite rate and thus enables the pol
icyholder to pay q lower premium than he
would otherwise have to pay.
The third factor to be taken into account
is expense-the cost of doing business for

One of the most shapely fish
known is the weakflsh, easily iden-
titled by its long head, fairly point
ed snout, and large, efficient mouth,
with its upper jaw armed with two
large canine teeth and the lower
jaw jutting
The upper color is an olive or
brownish-green. The sides and back
are handsomely decorated with
black, dark green or bronze spots.
These spots look almost like jew
els against the beautiful FURNISHED
tints of lavender, blue, green, gold
or purple of the sides. The belly
and lower sides are free of spots,
the silvery tint contrasting well
with the more decorative upper color
scheme. The dorsal fins are dusky;
the caudal is olive with a margin
of gold, while the ventral and anal
fins are yellow and the pectorals
are olive on the outside and yellow
on the inside. All colors are so per-
fectly blended that they make the
spotted weakfish a handsome prize
to take home for dinner or to pan
broil over charcoal at the camp.
Eighteen pounds is said to be the
largest size weakfish safe to report.
Six to 10 pounds would be more
likely to be believed. Those weigh
ing 6 pounds will be from Is to 27
inches in length.
The general range of the weak
fish is on the Eastern coast of the
United States from Massachusetts,
Bay to the Gulf of Mexico. When
found in the Gulf of Maine, the
greatest number has been taken
from New York southwark, and in
Cape Cod waters it is to be found
regularly and sometimes in great
abundance.
Records show that during the
18th century weakfish were very
plentiful off Southern New Eng
land. For a while they seemed to
disappear completely, then a few
were caught, and from this time
on they were apparently staging a
comeback, for after 1904, in several
locations, they were abundant. Still,
the weakflsh is playing a game of
hide and seek with anglers. Some
times there will be a complete dis
appearance from a given locality
and appearance in new one.

Imbibers Warned
To Ease Up During
Pneumonia Season
Physicions Will Gather
In Memphis This Week
For Annual Session
By the Associated Press.

MEMPHIS, Tenn, Nov. 90
Imbibers of alcohol were warned
today to ease up on their drinking
during the pneumonia season.
Alcohol and pneumonia bugs run
hand in hand through the human
body during the winter, an editorial
In the Southern Medical Associa-
tion's Journal declared, with the
alcohol opening the field for the
germs to develop in the lungs.
Pneumonia and its treatment with
the new drug, sulfapyridine, will be
one of the principal topics of the
associations annual meeting, for
which 1000 physicians will gather
here during the coming week. Proper
and timely use of the drug has been
found to reduce fatalities, but even
sulfapyridine may not prevent death
If pneumonia patient is chronic
alcoholic
Officials said the pneumonia death
rate among alcoholics is much
greater than among teetotalers.
Alcohol causes the white blood cells
TO slow up IN their normal work of
destroying disease germs.
In addition, it causes interfer-
ence with the normal functioning
of the throat valve" which con-
trolls the opening to the stomach
and lungs. This enables pneumonia
germs to enter the lungs more
readily.
alcohol thus both aids the pas
sage of the organisms into the lungs
and interfereS with their destruc-
ton in the blood stream" declared
DR.. M. Y. Dabney of Birmingham,
Ala, editor of the Journal.
In addition to observations of
human beings experiments with
rabbits and rats have shown that
alcoholic systems are much more
susceptible to pneumonia infection,
he said, and are more resistant to
treatment. In one series of expert
ments group of drunken rabbits
contracted pneumonia even when
serum was given.

surface-so close they may be seen
and caught on hook and line or
in a pound net.
When they are visiting on the
coast, they keep inshore, and are
found in the large bays, sheltered
waters and estuaries, and in the
river mouths. After the cold wealth.
er sets in, the weakfish seek warm
er waters, as they are very sensitive
to the cold.
Weakfish are voracious and car
nivorous in their feeding habits.
They are fond of shrimps, silver
sides, mumichogs, butterfish, crabs
and amphipods, to mention a few.
Because of their easily satisfied ap-
petite, weakfish are easily caught
with various kinds of bait.
Spawning varies with the loca-
ton. The eggs are buoyant and
hatch in SO to 40 hours. The young
fry grow very fast during their
first summer. At l year old they
may be slightly over 8 inches in
length, and by the time they are
years old will be "a inches long.

Switzerland's Picture Town

Untouched by the march of many
centuries, Thun, in the Bernese
Overland, Switzerland, is a picture
town in the truest sense of the word.
Sturdy old houses, with their win
dows bright with multitude of flow
ers, line the main street. Coy ar
cades Danish the dread of a rainy
day, and flights of steps leading to
an upper sidewalk with another row
of shops are reminiscent of the Mid
die ages. Long flights of stairs,
some with roofs that make their an
pearance delightfully."- quaint, ascend
from different points in the old town
to the quarter higher up, where
a Twelfth century castle rises az
the most familiar landmark of Thun
and its environs. This proud old
chateau was erected by Duke
Berchtold v of Zahringen. It is
historical museum today and its col
lections of armor, war trophies, tap
estries, antique furniture, stained
glass, potteries, and archaeological
finds are well worthy Of a visit.

They painted the walls pale blue
and bought a new rug in two tones
of beige. A new maple secretary
desk, maple frame sofa, a pair of
maple end tables, all in a pale honey
colored finish, were the new pur-
chases. Two old upholstered chairs
were done over in a beige home
spun fabric while the old Morris
chair had its frame bleached and
the cushions recovered in lowered
cretonne on a light blue ground.
This same cretonne was used for
new curtains made on rings so they
could swish back and forth. The
cushions on the sofa are covered in
this cretonne too. Lamps with cop
per bases have beige homespun
shades. A collection of old daguer-
rotypes and prints of local pioneer
ing scenes were framed in blonde
wood frames and hung in groups on
the wall.
All told, this is room of great
tranquility, charm and comfort.
The simplicity of the colorings is
largely responsible for this effect.
