Criticize American Tennis Style.

The loss of the Dwight +. Davis cup
emblematie Of the worlds lawn tennis
championship in doubles, which went
July 2S to a team of American players
has been followed by the usual stream
of journalistic criticism, devoid, how
ever, of that aerimony which marked
British comment on the outcome Of the
last Olympic games.
The chief subject of this postmortem
investigation is the American smash
service. An anonymous writer in The
Standard began the discussion by de-
nouncing the smash" service as trick
stroke which should be barred by legis-
lation, Just as the spot shot was in bill
lizards. The correspondence thus started
has gone merrily forward with the op.
ponents of the famous service appar-
entity in the minority. The discussion
has brosdened until it includes the ques-
ton of the propriety of including lawn
tennis in the playing curriculum Of the
public schools, and the problem of re-
placing the present English veterans
with younger players.
Underlying all of the criticism and
suggestions are indications Of disap-
pointment over the defeat, which led
some correspondents to deplore the whole
controversy as evidence that the Eng
lish are bad losers. One advocate of the
American game concludes his letter as
follows: "The present wailing seems to
me to be more suited to kindergarten
than to nation of sportsmen." An
other, signing herself Athletic Girl"
says: II have read the letters and ar
tieles on the loss of the Davis cup with
increasing irritation. The most alarm
ing symptom of the decadence of Eng
lish sport is the spirit in which defeats
are taken. We no longer uphold our
traditions and take our beatings like
men, but whine and SWIVEL in the coll
umns of the daily press as to the rea-
sons Of our defeat"
One thing in which practically all the
critics agree is that Maurice E. Me-
Loughlin, one OF the American players,
has proven himself the sensation of the
year on English courts. One critic de-
clares that at his best the Californian
is the greatest player that ever lived,
being better than either of the Doherty's
in their prime, and that at his worst
only the players in the very front rank
of worlds tennis have any chance OF
beating him. This critic points ont that
Anthony f. WELDING only beat Me
Loughlin after the American had played
through all the rounds Of great tour
and that j. G. Parke defeated
him i'm a FIVE set match in which the
took the majority of strokes
and games.

Brattleboro Man Thought He Was Bad
" Treated on Appraisal.

Brattleboro, Aug. pa hearing was

of Mortified on the question of the al
lowance of the appeal of Frank o. Car

peal on the claim of unequal assessment,
in other words that his property is not
taxed at the same rate as other prop
erty in that locality. 1t is allowed
master will be appointed to take tes-
timony.

The straightforward statement of a

c. n Benedict, blacksmith, s Eastern
avenue, Barre, VT. says: -Four or five
years ago I had fall and severely in

was troubled by pains across my loins
and kidneys. STOPPING or lifting would
cause great distress, and was annoyed
OIL account of lameness and dull ache
also bothered me. They were highly
colosed and contained sediment. A
friend, knowing how ] was troubled, adj
vised me to try Doans Kidney Pills, and
did so. They drove away the misery
in my back, regulated the passages or
the kidney secretions and improved my
condition in every way"
The above statement was given in Sep
TENDER, 1908, and when Mr.. Benedict
was interviewed by representative on
August 20, 1912, he said; Il still use
Doan's Kidney Pills, and they do me as
much good as when / first recommended

WHO SHALL COLLECT
MATERNITY BENEFIT?
British Husbands Are in Many Instances
Claiming the $3.50 and the Women
Are Aroused.

London, Aug. 81 The women Of the
British Islands have new and novel
grievance. 1t is incidental to the work
ings Of the Lloyd George insurance
scheme which, among other things, gives
thirty shillings to every insured woman
on childbirth. Now the question is shall
the woman or her husband collect this
money?
About the time the law was to 60
into effect this paternal government
plastered the country with posters of
the Size and general appearance Of those
the circus advance agents paste upon
farmers barns, bearing picture of a
crowd of cheerful looking women all
holding fat babies in their arms. The
purpose was to cali attention to this
maternity benefit of $3.50.
The husbands OF the mothers now
claim that the money should be handed
to them, and thus far they have been
prompt in collecting it whenever a
household has been blessed with off
spring. Many of them have been equal
" prompt about disbursing it, and that
has caused the trouble. One man is
said to have used this windfall to elopc
with another woman, and cases of the
head of the family treating himself to a
spree have not been rare.
Questions have been asked in the
House of Commons with the object of
having rule adopted by which this
maternity benefit will be paid only to
the mothers, and some of the women's
societies have taken up the matter and
doubtless they will gain their point.

The Etiquette of the Hat.

The question of the etiquette of the
hat in the House of Commons has again
been raised by Commoner King wearing
his hat in the distinguished strangers
gallery.
Unfortunately, before the speaker
could rule on the question which was
raised Mr.. King disappeared from the
gallery and the affair was dropped, blu,
old members of the House insist that
Mr.. King was well within his rights.
A member of Parliament is privileged to
wear his hat anywhere within the cham
Der, provided only that he is seated.
But If he rises from his seat or moves
from his position, he must uncover dur
ing the process. II division has been
called and member wishes to raise a
point of order he can do so only if he
is wearing hat. In strict parliament
tary etiquette member should always
raise his hat when he is referred to ny
the speaker.
