Competition may be ihc life of trade, but in the case of B. Shames and S. Rabinowitz, landlord and ten ant, 711 and 709 North Sixteenth street, respectively, it has been the cause of hostility w hich is being aired in; municipal court. ' Accrtrdirv to Shames, he rented Xo. 709 to Rabinowitz on the agree ment that the tenant would limit his occupancy to the manufacture of aprons and dresses and would not open a second hand store in com petition with the 'Shames establish ment next door. ' When Shames observed fhat his tenant was engaging in the second hand business, he said: "Mr. Rabin owitz, this is too much. You can tell me why . in the court." - The' owner obtained a judgment irt ; municipal court, but the execu tion of the writ was stopped, by the filing oi an appeal bond by Rabin owitz. Shames then filed a motiou, asking that the court allow him the writ notwithstanding , ihe appeal Jond and that he would file a sat Wactory bond to insure Rabinowitz for any damages he might be en titled to when the appeal case should - MtJit5ally disposed of. anan.v.tw, ca11s to the attention of the Court IliawU Rabinowitz re main) In his present location with a competing second hand store, until such time as an appeal case in the district court might be heard, and a possible appeal to the state supreme court, he, Shames, would suffer dam ages which coiHd not be accurately computed. n 'Rabinowitz nas a wiic and toj a lour children.

Do We Send Valentines? Copyright, 1920, Wiicelor Syndicate, Inj. The custom of exchanging theoretically annonymous love messages on February 14, St. Valentine day, is one of the strangest anomolies in the history of customs, for the most careful search through the life of St. Valentine fails to produce any support for the practice or to throw any light whatever upon the reason for selecting this par ticular day for emulating Cupid. Surely St. Valentine himself :ould not be accused of writing love songs, 'because . he was one of the early bishops of Rome who suffered martyrdom, at the, hands of the enemies of Christianity. Francois Douce, a famous an tiquary, throws some light upon the mystery by declaring that St. Valentine's day is the Christian ized form of the pagan Luper calia, feasts held in Rome during the month of February in honor of Pan and Juno. During these festivals it was the custom to place the names of'young women in a box, from which they were drawn by men, the resultant part nership being' recognized during the period of the feast. The Christian clergy, continues Douce, attempted to overcome the pagan influence by substitut ing the names of saints for those of women but evidently human influence was stronger than spir itual, for the custom gradually reverted,- to something like the pagan ritual. Evidently the Rom an idea persisted at least until the 16th century for St. Francis de Sales "severely forbade the custom of valentines, or giving boys, in writing the names of girls to be admired and attended on by them, and to abolish it, he changed it, giving billets with the names of certain saints." Now, though the custom of drawing partners by lot is no longer followed, the Christian name for thc-festival ?s preserved, instead of its original pagan appellation. l hi iiiMiii iii i rv eaeson-!. THE BliE: OMAHA, THURSDAY. SEPTEMBER 2. 1920. HOOKS AT SHAD BOSTON PLAYER IN GREAT FORM AT TENNIS MEET R. Norris Williams, 2d, Dis plays Great Skill Against Californian at National Tournament in East. Forest Hills, N. Y., Sept. 1. Standing out boldly above all other competitors, Wm. M. Johnston, San Francisco, playing-through title-holder, and R. Norris Williams II, Boston, twice holder of the honor, displayed their skill in the third round of the 39th all-comers na tional tennis championship tourna ment today. The strange thing about their1 contests was that it was Wil liams who rose to the topmast flights of his brilliancy against one of the most formidable of the Cal ifornians, Willis E. Davis, Pacific coast champion. On. the other hand, Johnston played somewhat flukily against Nathaniel W. Niles. famous Massachusetts state star. He out played Niles who wass unable to up hold his game to' the end. Johnston defeated Niles, 6-4, 8-10, 7-5, 6-2. Inutile third set Niles was three times within a point of the set but on each occasion was fought off by Johnston's sharply crossed volleys. Wiliams defeated Davis, 4-6, 6-4, 6-4, 6-2. The twice holder of the crown of the singles courts finished this engagement playing super-tennis. Service aces , were in wonderful profusion in his latter games and he finished the match by shooling over a ball that Davis could not touch. Davis was game, but he was not able to hold position against an opponent who had such command as to pass him almost at will, as Williams did in the final games Other Fast Matches. There were other matches today fully as-' interesting and all having their shore in the eventful decision. William T'. Tildcn II, winner of the world's title at Wimbladen, "vyas suddenly called to court ahead of schedule because of the default of Frederick B.-Alexander, attd ac counted for a 3-6, 6-2, 6-4, 6-2 vic tory over Samuel Hardy. captain of the Davis, cup team. "Tildcn was not inclined to exert himself in this match. Among other winners were Vin cent Richards, Roland Roberts of the California forces; Watson M. Washburn,' G. C. Caner and Walter Wesbrook, Michigan state title hold er. There was considerable interest in the way Richards played and it vas evident that he is at the top of his game, as his vollying and net attack defeated Fred C. josties, St. Louis, 6-4, 6-1, 6-1. Richards meets his old partner Tilden in the fourth round tomorrow. Caner outplayed Williard Bots ford. the former Columbia captain, by the score of 6-3, 6-2, 6-1, 6-1. Caner, as a Harvard player, added an clement of the intercollegiate to this engagement, his driving beiitg too forceful for his opponent. Bots '"ord leaves for Englandvat the close of the week, to play abroid. , Charles S. Garland, tlicyoungest member of the Davis cup team, easily found, the openings for passes in his match against Frank T. Anderson. Garland was not extended at any time and won 6-3, 6-0. 6-4. The day was perfect for the great matches and the playing surfaces in excellent condition.
