Resigns Office
As Result of
Lenglen's Visit
Captain De Joannii of French
Tennis Federation Quits
When Officials Accept
-' Resignation.
faris. Nov. 29. The Krenc'.i
Lawn Tenni federation today ao
ceoted the resignation of Captain A
R DeJoannis as a member and as
vice president. Tlie resignation oi
the captain, who was manager for
Mile. Suzanne Lenglen, French
woman tennis champion, on her trip
to America, was tendered Sunday in
protest against the federation's con
demnation of the United States
I.awn Tennis association "lor unjus.
tiiicd commentaries upon the sport
spirit of Mile. Lenglen."
Accompanying the federation's ac
ceptance was K rcsuiiiuoii siaiing
tltat the French organization ' had
'no quarrel with the United States
Lawn Tennis association, but ob
jected to the unmeasured terms of
lite highest official of American ten
nis branding Mile. Lcnglcn as
'emitter. "
.MVith all due respect to the Uni
tes! States Lawn Tennis associa
lion," said President Wallet of the
French federation, "we could not
pSss unnoticed the letter written by
it hiKhest officer charging Mile.
Cengleu with feigning illness."
Blame Mile. Lenglen's Manager.
-"In the face of certificates from
tliree doctors we felt Mile Lenglen
vs physically unfit to play. We
bbmcd her manager for remaining
irf; America when he was convinced
tlat Mile. Lenglen's condition was.
itafit for her to make her best ef
forts, and we blamed the American
.association for expressing the judge
ment that she was playing comedy.
""We blamed Mile. Lenglen for
lack of sportsmanship, but the
American 'tennis official's terms
were considered too severe."
- Mile. Lenglen, with her mother
and father, left Paris' yesterday. A
leport on file at the federation head
quarters, prepared by a lawyer on
her behalf says she denies having
Janced on any evening following
any match in which she defaulted
The report says, however, she did
dance on other evenings because she
thought it was good training.
Concerning her alleged refusal to
play a match with President Hard
ing, she authorized M. Gillou, a vice
president of the French federation,
to say, "she was so ill that day she
could not have lifted a racquet."
Trouble Over Letter.
The chief controversial point be
tween the American and French or
ganizations appears to be the letter
said to have been written by the
chief official of the American organ
ization, which the trench otliciais
fcay was couched in too emphatic
terms.

Willing to Sell
Red Sox Fans Think. That
, Charles Weeghmaii May
Purchase Cluh.
Boston, Nov. 29. Harry Frazec
will sell his Boston American league
franchise before the 1922 season
opens. This fact he made very plain
last evening. A friend of Clark Grif
fith's, according to Frazee, is will
ing to pay his price, while two parties
in Boston are said to be seeking the
club.
Frazee believes that Griffith's
friend may be representing Ban John
son, or at least one of Ban's asso
ciates, but the Red Sox owner made
it plain last night that no one con
nected with Johnson could buy his
club, no matter how big the offer.
Charles Wegghman, former owner
of the Chicago Cubs, was in r razees
olHce yesterday afternoon. Both
Harry and Charley denied that the
latter was seeking the club, but on
Jftokers think that where there is
smoke there must be fire.
The Boston franchise is without
question one of the best in the coun
try. Frazee is decidedly unpopular
with the good folk of the Hub, but
with a change of ownership, especial
ly if a Bostonian bought the club, the
franchise would be worth almost as
much as Frazee is asking for it. Yes
terday Harry set a new price of
$1,150,000. - -

Jewel, Flower, Color
Symbols for Today
By MILDRED MARSHALL.
The king of gems, the ruby,
wields extraordinary power today,
since it is both tlie.talismanic and
natal stone. Under' these circum
stances, it becomes almost a part of
its wearer and exercises extraor
dinary influence upon him.
According to hi ancients, the life
of the stone is bound up with the
life of the wearer; it sparkles when
he is gay; sends forth red gleams
when he is angry, and loses its ra
diance when he is sorrowful. Since
the ruby is the gem of success and
the symbol of wealth, it is believed
to bring those gifts ' to one who
cherishes it.
All shades offered are fortun; te
on this day. They indicate strength,
is the greatest money's worth on
earth today.
Buy it because of honest quality
as against "bargain offers", "inside
discounts" and "special trades."
An outstanding product
marked with the maker's name
the retail price quoted in plain
figures. '
A challenge to the tire-trader
who would rather sell you an
unknown tire-on
the basis of "so

and let you find
out its real value

Romance in Origin
Of Superstitions
By H. IRVING KING.
' To Scare off the Nightmare.
In many sections of the country
it Is customary for people subject to
nightmare to bleep with a pair of
scissors or a knife under the pillow
is a preventative against the afll'c
tion. Down in Maine, perhup iu
other sections, they will tell you in
the rural districts that the night
mare is caused "by an evil spirit
struggling with one."
This conception of nightmare n
an evil Mirit is a conception of primi
tive man and one which exists in the
animism of primitive races today, at
well as among the superstitious of
the civilized peoples. And anyone
who has ever experienced nightmare
cannot wonder. Shakespeare, in a
song in King Lear; makes St. Withh
old say when he meets "the night,
mare and her nine fold," "Arroint
the witch, arroint thccl" and the first
definition of nightmare given by the
Century dictionary is "An insulins,
or evil spirit that oppresses people
during sleep." Some of us may bu
content to ascribe our nightmare to
a poorly made Welsh rarebit instead
of a witch or an evil spirit, but not
so our ancestors or our more super
stitious neighbors.
In folk-lore, then the nightmare
being a witch or an evil spirit, what
more potent to keep it awav than a
piece of cold iron which, as is well
known, from the beginning of tlio
Iron age witches and evil spirits have
abhorred and feared? The reason
for the fear and abhorrence of iron
by evil spirits has already been dealt
with in this series. The belief be
gan when man first tried to work
iron ore into a usable metal and
from the superstition under consid--'
eration, and from numerous other
current superstitions, we see that it
has not entirely vanished away. ,
