THINK TERM IS EFFEMINATE: j
:
Some Tennis Player* Object to Word I
"Love" as at Present Employed '
In Scoring System. (
There is talk among the everiordo j
| ot tennis of Hading another word than !
I "lore" to moan "nothing" in the scor- | '
tng system, for, although it may sur- |
prise many to hear it the game is :
I sometimes spoken of ss effeminate. !
and this bit of terminology is held re
sponsible. Nobody has ever explained j
: why "love" means "nothing" in tennis. *
but there ta a footnote in an old and <
i rare book about card-playing (whlch |
refers to an old Scottish yord "luff," j
which meant "nothing," and this, per- j
haps, may have been somehow transferred
lato the game of tennis. Or,
again, the term may be of far eastern
origin, where a word sounding like
"love" war usod in the old form of
tennis that was once popular In the
orient. Whether or not the termin1
ology undergoes change, the game Is
in no immediate danger of falling off
In popularity, and the repeated shouting
of these seeming endearment*
across the tennia net has occasioned
much innocent merriment-?Christian

Honor Cuban Generals. ' ?
Cuba is to pay honor to the memory i
of General Maximo Gomes, the island i
republic's military hero, by erecting a
costly monument. A first prise of $25,- j

Gaba, an Italian sculptor, for a model
of the memorial, which la to cost $200,- ;

to Huertas Cabarrocaa, r .

popular as the leader of the 'Cuban
forces in the war for Independence |
from Spain, from 1895 to 1898. He i
also took a prominent part in the Ten j
Tears' war. a revolt which began In
1868. On the day of his death. June

Helium Gas Cheapened.
- Dp to 19ip the total output of |
I helium gas in all the world had probably
been less than 100 cubic feet, and
It was worth about $1,700 a cubic foot.
I But Just before the armistice was j
signed a shipment of 150,000 cubic j
i feet of helium gas was sent to Europe. i
and It costs less than 10 cents a cubic J
foot 1
Helium gas was first discovered on
i the sun. by spectroscopy. It is the
best gas for use in balloons, because
it la not inflammable. It Is now ex!
tracted from the natural gas of Texas
and Kansas.
The method is delicate and complex.
but is based upon the fact that
the principal constituents of natural
gas liquefy when cooled to about minus
329 degrees F., but that helium re
mains a gas at that temperature, and
hence Is easily separated.
