it Is easy to see to what a state lawn
tennis in England is degenerating. The
men actually do not know the strokes of
the game, and the majority Of them have
no winning shots. The backhand is al
ways weak defensive stroke instead of
being as it should be fine winning shot,
one of the strongest, best and most
adaptable in the game. The chop, a most
valuable and aggressive stroke either in
the return or in the service, Is practically
unknown The reverse American service
was not used by any English player at
Wimbledon. The Frenchmen, Germans
and Belgians did make some use of it.
Lawn tennis. as played today. consists
mainly of three strokes; the real strokes
of the game are not used. AS the Eng
lish' player Of today makes his strokes,
there is no wrist work in them. Lawn
tennis properly played is all wrist work.

The Beauty Of New York.
York Evening Post.

From the Nav 1Ork Evening Eos'.
It was in all proba bility the intelligent
foreigner who discovered this city for
the American artist. The foreigner sailed
nm New York harbor saw the battlements
of lower Manhattan rise from out the
waters and wondered what our painters
had been doing all this time He was re-
inforced by that other intelligent for
eigner who discerned in our skyscrapers
and our canyons a new spirit and new
gospel. Our poets and painters responded
to the hint. We learned that we had
soul and that it was expressing itself
in Office buildings, elevated transit lines
and subways. The poets began to sing
snyscrapers, elevated lines and subways.
But they have been outdistanced by the
nainters, of whom a small army is now
engaged in putting the new spirit upon
canvas. The work is being done with a
great deal of enthusiasm, with great
deal of skill and. it must be confessed
with a great deal of self-consciousness.
We have gone at 1t with characteristic
national passion for the new thlng.

LAWN TENNIS.
All England Tournament Contrasted
With American Play.

From the Saturday Review.
The skllful lawn tennis player must be
able to hit severely and yet be able SO
to temper his force and regulate the
flight of the ball with a spin sufficient
to keep 1t within the narrow limits of the
court. Also. the game is one of the
most strenuous played. In the champion.
ship singles at Wimbledon the challenger
was absolutely played to a .standstill in
four sets. Lawn tennis, in fact, Is
mans game provided always that it is
played as it was played in the days of
really great play. In those days it was
the genuine hard-hitting game with the
natural strokes. 1t was truly English
in conception and execution, and had not
been by defective methods reduced to
mechanical kind of pat ball in which each
mans chief object Is to wait for the other
man to make a mistake instead of forcing
him to do so. One thinks with regret OF
the days when Norman Brooks and Beals
Wright were at their best. when S. II.
Smith drove HoIcombe Ward, the famous
American, off the center court In straight
sets by the most wonderful and the most
wonderfully sustained exhibition of fore
hand driving ever seen.

who used to come to this great meeting.

WATERS ON A STRIKE
IN MIDST Of BANQUET
Official Guests in France Have
Wait of an Hour Be-
tween Courses.
Special Cablesram to The Star.


PARIS, August 5.-The guests at
banquet at Rambouillot on the occasion
of the Seine et-Oise agricultural and hor-
ticultural show had very disconcerting
experience They took their seats with
NJ. Pans, the minister of agriculture, In
the place Of honor, prepared for Gull
nary triumph. Radishes. bread and butter
and the usual hors d'oeuvres were set
before them, which they duly consumed,
and then waited anxiously for the soup
There was no soup, but instead an in
terminable pause. Minutes passed and
still there was nothing to eat. The min
utes lengthened out into half an hour,
while the guests djsconsolately toyed with
the bread, which was the only comestible
now left. 1t was evident that something
had gone wrong.
No Walters in Sight.
The walters, one and all. had disap-
peared, and the banquet threatened to
end as a Barmecide feast. One by one
the members Of the reception committee
stole from the table to ask the reason
for this inexpicable delay They found
that the walters had struck work and had
refused to serve the soup or any other
dish because their demands of 81 a head
as wages for the evening had been re-
fused.
While the minister of agriculture tried
TO look as if nothing had happened and
every one fidgeted. negotiations with the
ZOO icitrant walters were begun. Efforts
to beat down their terms failed. and final
ly the reception committee had to sur
render at discretion and grant the price
demanded Then only was the service
resumed and the soup graclousiy hahoeo
round nv the walters to the company
But the pause of an hour had affected
tho oualitv of the viands and the temper
of the company and the banquet instead
of being a brilliant success was a lament
able fiasco.

used again with minimum expense. The
economy Of concrete construction depends
almost wholly upon repeated use of
forms"
Waste of Wood an Obstacle
Consequently it would seem obvious
that one of the obstacles to concrete con-
struction has been the heavy expense in
cident to a considerable waste Of wood
used In building temporary molds. most
of which must be demolished in removing
the woodwork after the concrete has
hardened. In this type of construction
also the builders have been compelled to
take into consideration the waste of time
in having temporary molds built by ex-
pert workmen. the result of whose en-
deavors ultimately must be practically
lost
1t is to meet this need in the building
of concrete structures that an invention
has just been placed upon the market
by local man-Albert G. Brust of 613
Pennsylvania avenue southeast Mr.
Brust has been working toward the per-
lection of his plan for Il number of
years. He applied for a patent July 3,
1907. and the patent was granted July
II, 1911. His invention consists SIM
ply of mold or form which may be
used over and over again in the build
ing of walls or of columns, or, in fact
of entire houses.
An example of building with the
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1911-08-05

Brust forms is exhibited in the new
Cornwel building on " street between
4th and 18th streets. where the forms
have been used in putting up con
crete supporting column around an
iron post.
These forms consist mainly of short
panels nf upright boards and corner
pieces. and these panels and corner pieces
are provided with connecting plates of
such pattern that the panels and corner
pieces can be aSily connected and
readily detached from each other with
out injury to the concrete or to the wood
of which the forms are made. The forms
lso are used in building walls of any ex-
tent or height being then supplemented
by intervening longitudinal forms between
the panels. which are used in tiers. All
panels are of the same pattern and inter-
changea BILE as are the other parts of the
forms.
Description of Method.
A foundation being laid and leveied the
first tier of forms (about four feet high
is placed thereon and filed with concrete.
Then the second tier of forms, just like
the first, is placed on top of and in
alignment with the forms of the first tier.
After filling with concrete. and when suf-
fcently set. the forms of the first tier
are detached from the concrete surface
and may be erected on top of the forms
Of the second tier. to provide third tier
for filling with concrete. In this way the
forms are designed to be used over and
over again, not alone in raising the
height of the same wall or structure, but
also in building other concrete structures.
In this way it is designed to provide
system Of building with wooden molds Of
exact and durable character, and practi-
ca1ly without driving a nail screw in
their manipulation.
Another example of the use of the
Brust mold is seen in building which is
called the "scalehouse'' at the Soldiers
Home. This is small Six-room Struc-
ture. and while It is used primarily to
store the weighing machinery over which
supplies must pass on the way into the
big institution. it is of type which illus
trates the branch of the building industry
in which these forms may be used i'm the
construction of homes

ry word of it. too. Why are the Drum
mers foreninst the Bears? Not because
OF their trouble with Jumps Morgan, IS
that can hardly be laid at the Grizzlie
threshold, but because of the attitude
OF the mile-high magnates and players.
Last year Denver had it all over the
infant Drummers and drubbed them
soundly. with no little delight. So Ear
this season, Hollands boys have turned
the tables and the Bears haven't been
able to swallow their medicine like true
sports. For this reason there is fric-
ton between the clubs. Denver has
three more series to play at League
uark and there is promise that the
fur will fly if the Drummers have their
way about it.
