" There isn't a game which is bet
ter for a fellow than tennis, but
everyone hasn't got a tennis court
nd the fixings. In the city, espe
cially, unless one is a member of a
tlub or a Y, M. C 'A. or something
of the kind, or . unless one has
friends who have a court, it is dif
ficult to get a game.
Every couple of fellows, however,
can get a piece of chalk, a tennis
ball, a back-yard, or a side street
where there is little traffic. On a
piece of hard dirt road the court
pan be marked with white stones.
The dimensions of the court
should be 32x16 feet, and should be
marked like a" tennis .court for.sin-
Jjles. If doubles are to be played a
ine four feet wide should be run
parallel to each side, making a
Court 40x16.

Whoa, Therel
By Mollis Trie Cook.
"They just Had thousands of "candy
eggs at the party I"
"Oh, yes, and I ate six pieces ef
cake and hundreds of dishes of ice
cream 1"
"Whoa' there, girls, how many did
you say? When ypu get into the
hundreds and thousands, you're go
ing some!" Mr. Smith smiled as he
said this, and passed, on.
An exuberant girl finds it hard to
check herself.- The other day a
prominent man said:
"The modern girl tells things in
utter disregard of fact. And if she
isn't exaggerating, she is bragging
about herself."
Girls! Girls!! Girls!!! Is this man
risrht? Will vou be responsible for
such criticism? It is true that exag
gerating is as bad as lying. The En
glish language is good enough to ex
press anything you wish to say.
scoring are the same. The princi
pal difference is that no rackets are
used. The ball is a tennis-ball from
which the cloth cover has been
ripped off an easy enough thing to
do, if the stitches that sew the
8-shaped pieces of cloth together are
cut with a pair of nail-scissors. This
makes the ball lighter and quicker
pn the bound.
A hard smash to the ground will
make the ball jump abouf ten feet,
and a low volley will skin along the
' ground in a fashion that's hard to
answer. Be sure that the central
line, which marks' the net. is very
clear and easy to see. That will
prevent disputes.
, Pavement tennis on a summer day
is not child's play. There's as much
fun in it as tennis, and as much ac
tion in it as hand ball. It's a good
thing to have a swimming hole or a
swimming' pool near at hand,, to
jump iinto, half an hour after the
game, i You'll need it. Don't jump
in at once, when overheated, of
coue, or you're inviting erysipelas.
But for real, fast sport which any
fellow can get at without the cost
of joining a tennis club or the buy
ing of all the paraphernalia, take
pavement tennis.
(Tomorrow Starting a Heavy
Train.) (
If you get into the habit of using
"very," "awfully," "fearfully," "love
ly," "grand," "swell," and "wonder
ful," for ordinary things, what ad
jectives will you have left when you
want to describe something really
sumptuous and grand?
The girl who exaggerates gets the
habit. People get used to this Habit
of hers and discount everything she
says.
"I always take what Mary Wilson
says with a grain of salt," said her
employer. Now this is unfortunate
for Mary because some 'day she will
want to impress her employer with
her information on some subject
and her words will not carry weight.
Braggadocio is another pastime of
some girls. The girl -who brags
about herself stands in the ' same
shoes as the. exaggerator. Nobody
believes her and all the other girls
make fun of her behind her back.
Hold in the reins'! Check yourself!
When you discover that, your own
good opinion of yourself is running
away with you, relax. Be-quiet in
stead of letting your tongue wag.

The twins were jufct4 stepping into
their clogs when the front gate
Opened, aid what do you think they
awl In came trotting three brown
men, each one pulling a little car
riage behind him I They came right
up to the porch., Take was just
tending on one foot, ready to slip
her other one into the strap of her
tlog, when they came in. She was
lo Surprised she fell right over back
ward! She picked herself up again
quickly, and hopped along, with one
shoe on and one shoe off.
. "Are we going to ride?" . she
fa sped. , '
- Her father laughed. , "Yes,, little
pop-eyes," he sid; "we are going
to ride fo the temple, and you and
Tiro shall ride in one rickshaw all
y yourselves." -v..
v The name of these little carriages
drawn by men instead of horses is
"jinrickshas," but he called them
rickshaws" for short
The twins were so ' happy they
toold hardly keep still. They looked
There were so very many interest
ing things to see that the twins
didn't talk much for a while. You
see, it's hard work to use your mouth
and eyes and your ears all at once.
So the twins just used their eyes.
It was still quite early in the' morn
ink -when they reached the city
streets. Here they saw men with
baskets hung from poles going from
house td house. Some were selling
vegetables, some had fish, and others
were selling floweTs, or brooms, t
They saw little girls with baby
brothers on their backs, skipping
rope or bouncing balls.' The baby's
head wobbled dreadfully when his
little sister skipped, but he didn't
cry about it. He just let it wobble!

' "Keep close behind us," the mother

rickshaw alone before inall their

and held on tight because it bounced

they're all quieted down '. again, I
start snoring some more." By the

J can snore for hours without tir

most rested person in the car. While
the others have been, paging' the
porter for cotton to stuff in their

I do my best snoring on my back.

should I sleep on my side? Besides
my snoring never keeps me awake

WHY?
Are Lead Pencils So Called?
Copyright. 1920. by the Wheeler Sndt
cate, inc.
The obrious answer to this
question would be, "Because they
have lead in them." But they
haven't The writing material in
the "Wad" pencil of today is
graphite, not lead But there was
a 'time, before the discovery of
the famous graphite ' mine in
Cumberland, England, when
metallic lead was used inside a
wooden holder or shield, and the
name persisted even after the
lead itself disappeared.
After large deposits of graph
ite were located in England in
1565, that country had practical
ly a complete monopoly of the
lead pencil industry for some two
hundred years. In fact, it was
not unil 1?61, when Caspar Fa
ber opened hi pencil factory at
Nuremburg, in Bavaria, that Ger
many took the lead in the mak
ing of this product. The estab
lishment of the tariff which went
into effect in 1861 made the im
portation of lead pencils into the
United States a very expensive
operation arid forced a. number
of manufacturers to establish'
plants in this country. American
inventiye genius perfected njany
of the machines which made the
pencils and today the United
States supplies at least 90 per
cent of the pencils used on this
side of the Atlantic and a con
siderable proportion of those
which "are utilized by the world
at large. The graphite comes
principally from Ceylon, Mexico,
Bohemia arvd Siberia, while the
red cedar wood is obtained from
Florida, Alabama and Tennessee.

THE CASH STORE
, A STRIKING OBJECT LESSON
A Business Talk by J. Hayden.
. . Omaha, Neb., May 26, 1920.
Several days ago an old-time resident of Omaha visited
Hayden 's furniture department and selected a bill of furni
ture amounting to $567. When the bill was completed, this
gentleman said to the salesman: "Now, I will take that if
you will give me the long discount."- '
The salesman replied: "All the discount possible is made
at the time pripes are fixed under Hayden 's cash plan."
The prospective purchaser asked: "But how do you ex
pect to compete with unusual reductions?"
"We have no fear," replied the salesman, "of a compari
son between Hayden 's goods and prices vith those offered by
any other store in any section of the country. Of course, I
am anxious to sell you this bill of goods and I suggest that
you make a visit to other furniture houses and, comparing
goods and prices, buy accordingly. I think you will ftnd that
underj any circumstances you could do, at least, as well at
Hayden 's as at any other establishment in the United
States."
This customer acted on the suggestion. He inspected
goods and prices offered by several other furniture dealers.
The following day he returned to Hayden 'g and gave his
check for $567 for the goods selected the preceding day.'
Unquestionably, this customer was surprised at Hayden 'g
ability to meet any competition so far as quality of goods and
prices are concerned through the normal prices fixed, under
the Hayden cash plan. ' But when he was shown what vast
sums of money, were saved to Hayden 's customers jinder the
cash plan, he readily understood.
Others who investigate will understand, also. '
Accepting the invitation to "come and look," they will
"come and buy," for the simple reason that Hayden 'g cash
plan provides first-class goods at the lowest possible prices. r,
That explains why there are so many well satisfied cus
tomers thronging Hayden 's counters these days.
