Tilden and Frank T. t Hunter, star American team, went down in defeat In the men's doubles of the all-England tennis championships today in much the same manner as they previously had been eliminated in the singles. Tilden and Hunter were defeated by Gerald Patterson and J. B. Hawkes of Australia. 7-9, 7-9, 6-4, 6-4, 10-8. After winning the first twe sets the Americans fell before the vicious attack of the antipodean pah. By their victory Patterson and Hawkes reached the final. Miss Elisabeth Ryan, of California, and Mrs. Randolph Lycett, of Great Britain, entered the semi-final of the women's doubles, today, by defeating Mrs. Pat O'Hara Wood and Miss L. Bickerton, of Australia, 7-5, 9-7.

Mr. Butcher did not come up right away, but a short time later his back was seen protruding above the water at a point nearly 100 feet down the stream. Some men who were standing on the bank waded into the water and carried him out. Mr. Butcher was unconscious and resuscitation was begun. He was revived after several minutes’ work. There was a cut on his forehead, indicating that he had struck his head on a stone wheu he dived over the dam. Body Is Recovered The water at the foot of the dam was rapid and swirling. All men present were more or less strangers there and none would venture into the swirling water, especially since two men had gone down there. More than an hour later, some Markle men. who were acquainted with the nlver there, were brought to the scene of tiie drowning and they succeeded in locating Walter's body in about four feet of water, and bringing it to shore about two hours' after he went down. Efforts were made to revive him, but to no avail. The young mSfn was afflicted with heart trouble and his father said today that he believed the boy suffered a heart attack during the excitement. Only recently, a physician examined Walter and told him he would have to be careful ou account of liis heart being weak. Sophomore In High School Walter Bodie would have been a sophomore in Decatur high school next fall. He was a member of the high school track team last spring KONJOLA FILLED” HIS SYSTEM WITH NEW LIFE ENERGY Entirely Free Os Stomach Trouble Since Taking This Medicine. fl i W J® Br AS "Konjola did everything claimed j for it in my case and L strongly in- , dorse it to others,” writes Mr. Frank I S.

• • Protect your investment in your Model T Ford I r I VIE Ford Motor Company ia making a new car, hot it is still proud I of the Model T. It wants every owner of one of these cars to run it as long as possible at a minimum of expense. Because of this policy and because of the investment that millions of motorists have in Model T cars, the Ford Motor Company is devoting a large part of its factories to making parts, in order that owners may enjoy uninterrupted service for many years to come. More than eight million Model T Forde are still in active service, and many of them can be driven for two, three and five years and even longer at small cost. New fenders, for instance, cost from $3.50 to $5 each, with a labor charge of $1 to $2.50. Tuning up the motor and replacing commutator case, brush and vibrator points costs only sl, with a small charge for material. Brake shoes can be installed and emergency brakes equalized for a labor charge of only $1.25. A labor charge of $-1 to $5 will cover the overhauling of the front axle, rebushing springs and spring perches, and straightening, aligning and adjusting wheels. The labor charge for overhauling the average rear axle runs from $5.75 to $7. Grinding valves and cleaning carbon can be done for $3 to $ L A set of four new pistons costs only $7 and an installation charge of $6. For a labor charge of S2O to $25 you can have your motor and trona, mission completely overhauled. Parts are extra. All of these prices are approximate, of course, because the cost of materials needed will depend on the condition of each car. They show, however, the low cost of putting the Model T Ford in shape for thou> sands of miles of additional service. See the nearest Ford dealer, therefore, and have him estimate on the cost of reconditioning your Model T Ford. He will tell you, in advance* exactly how much the complete job will cost.
