S Milnes, president of the In­ door Game Association, has this to say about billards and billard balls: As to our attitude on billard, we have expressed ourselves so often that repetition stems almost unnec­ essary. Our ideal is a "Recreation Center” under municipal or school or church auspices, which shall in­ clude billards, for the reason that billards possesses certain points of intrinsic merit not found in any substitute yet known to us. This explains its irresistible appeal to the game instinct of youth. It in­ volves no luck, no chauce. It is pure science, pure game. I have made a special study of the billard hall subject, and I insist that it is not tbe impurities ot disreputable places that attract our young men. It is tlietr God-given instinct for play and the masculine love of con­ quest That instinct cannot and will not be crushed by Mothers’ "don’ts” or fanatical legislation, but it may be used as a developing factor in the shaping of chaiacter. I have newspaper clippings by the score showing how the prohibition of this game to the young men has resulted only in driving him to play “ Poker” and other worse pastimes. Do not permit the deyil to cheat us out of this beautiful game. ----------------------------- «»> » —- Death of Mrs. R. B. Hoag Dr. Richmond received a letter Handay from Dr. K. B.
