Bill Tilden Plays Match
In Winston- Salem
Professional Leader Defeats
Nusslein and Barnes
Big Bill Tilden, veteran tennis
star who ruled the amateur ranks
for more years than you ean count on
your fingers, and who now is rated
as the leader of the professional
world, defeated two powerful rivals
in exhibition matches at Hanes Park
last Monday afternoon.
Five hundred spectators, including
many Salem girls, watched the lanky
star defeat Bruce Barnes, a Texan,
6—1, 6—2, and then turn back Hans
Nusslein, the German professional
champion, 4—6, 6—4, 6—2.
Although the matches were im-
avoidably delayed for almost an
hour, the audience immediately for
got the hot, tiresome wait when Big
Bill finally stepped out upon the
Tilden played in dazzling form,
using both his forearm and back
hand drives with equal success. Ilis
famous cannon-ball service and his
chopping were brilliant to watch, r
well as his spectacular placements.
Young Barnes, former intercol
legiate champion, gave a fine ex
hibition. Mr. Nusslein displayed
one of the surest backhands in the
tennis world, and a fast, steady
stroke. Tilden declares that the
Cierman is one of thp greatest stars
(if tile game.
Tlie exhibition between the fam
ous plaj'crs was sponsored b}' the
.Junior Chamber of Commerce which
deserves high praise for bringing to
Winston-Salem this excellent enter
tainment.

ment.” Dr. Carver felt justified in
tliis personal journey w'ith the Crea
tor because it is a fault of mankind
that he does not come close enough
to the forces from which he wishes
to learn.
The products which Dr. Carver
has extracted from peanuts are al
most unbelievable. The noted scien
tist has found 285 products, samples
most of which were shown the audi
ence. By analyzation in his labora
tory Dr. Carver has also found 118
sweet potato products 300 clay prod
ucts, and 85 pecan products. The
two questions wliat is a peanut and
why is a peanut made which the
speaker asked the Creator were an
swered to him by the list of products
to follow. To other people the
Creator answers the questions in dif
ferent ways. The most important
products shown Sunday afternoon
were: Milk, of the same composition
as cow’s milk, cream, butter, a nour
ishing drink of peanuts mixed with
fruit juices, oil shampoo, flavoring
extracts, mixed pickles, dried cof
fee, dandruff cure, relishes, mock
oysters, a medicine the same as Ca.s-
toria, salad oils, washing powders,
soap stock, beauty creams, a strange
water-white oil now being used in
the treatment of infantile paralysis,
ink, powder for dye base, rubber
compound, stains, paints, 37 dyes
for fabric, and all grades of paper.
Dr. Carver has certainly walked
witli the Creator.
THOUGHTS AT THE
GREEK PLAY
“Breathing out blood and venge-
,nee” sang the chorus. “Blood and
•0ngeanee, blood and \‘engeiance,”
the words made a queer little tunc in
my head. Eleetra was the brown
spot behind the blue and gold chorus.
It was hot; the pillow I had brought
to sit on and was carefully nursing
on my knee made a damp wrinkle in
my dress. “Blood and vengeance,
blood and vengeance.'’ Rlectra was
speaking now. The vein on her
right arm stood out so distinctly.
That hat in front of me was atroc
ious. Words were coming faster
now; words that were making me
throb in echo. I leaned forw'ard to
catch them all. Orestes was there
to murder Clytemnestra. “Come on
Aegisthus, come be killed. Acgisthus,
Aegisthus, come be killed.” An
other tune brat time in my mind.
“Aegisthus, Aegisthus, come be kill
ed.” The pillow slid off my knee,
hit a dry twig that snapped. “Aegi.s-
thus, Aegisthus, come be killed.”
Klectra was holding people by sheer
force of her voice. Low tones, high
—rising, falling. I gripped the
bench. It would soon be over, I
knew the story, but this waiting was
exciting. Other people were tense,
too, everybody was leaning forward.
“Aegistluis, why don’t you come on?”
Something caught my eye. Gold
and purple, more purple than gold.
Aegisthus was on the top of the hill!
Sitting there, waiting his cue! His
expression bored. Eleetra was still
speaking: her voicc was pulsing—
trite phrase, but it suited her.
“Eleetra, do you know Aegisthus is
sitting up there on the top of the
hill?” “Aegisthus, come on be kill
ed!” Aegisthus was stirring; now,
he would come. He was rising to a
squatting position. In a minute he
would be coming down the path—
gold and purple, more purple than
gold, royal, majestic .... But, no,
what was that in his hand? That
small, black, .square ? Aegisthus!
King Aegisthus! Aegisthus, King
Aegisthus was wielding a lipstick!
Aegisthus, King Aegisthus, was pow
dering his nose!
P.S.- Tliis manipulation on his part
was not a part of the play—only
keen observers noticed the amusing
beginning of his entrance.

EXPLANATION;
The trick lay in the way an assistant prepared the
cannon for the performance. He used the regulation
amount of powder and wadding, but placed the
greater part of the charge of powder ahead of the
shot. The cannon ball was propelled only by the
small charge behind it which was just sufficient to
lob the 9 lb. ball over to the strong man.

it contains.
“ It is a fact, well known by
leaf tobacco experts, that
Camels are made from finer,
MORE EXPENSIVE tobaccos
than any other popular brand.
In costly tobaccos you will find
mildness, good taste, throat-ease.
Smoke Camels critically, and
give your taste a chance to appre

we believe, will taste flat and in
sipid to you forever after.
