BY DEAN SNYDER.

The hand of fate reached out and
preventd Mile. Suzanne Lenglen
from playing for the biggest stake
in woman's tennis-America's tennis
championship.
She lost by default, following a
fainting spell soon after her match
started with Mrs Molla Bjudstedt
Mallory.
Let's give Suzanne another chance.
Here is an opportunity for America
to show true craftsmanship.
A special match with our Ameri-
can champion, with the title as the
reward for the victor, should be
arranged. America does not want
to feel that there is a flaw of fate in
the title holding.
Keen as the disappointment Su-
zanne feels. it is not more than every
tennis enthusiast has at this mo-
ment.
II the French girl is the greatest
woman tennis player in the world,
we would like to see her get a sport
ing chance with our champion.
She is entitled to it. She defeated
our stars in France decisively.
The form she showed in that first
set against Molla at Forest Hills
was not her best, for she was i'll at
the time
Just a few weeks ago the French
officials of tho Grand prix held over
the big racing classic so as TO give
American drivers, who arrived late
chance to qualify.
You'll remember that Tommy
Milton and Ralph DePalma won the
first and second places of the blue
ribbon event, too. II France had
wanted to go according to rules, we
would have been disqualified.
But the French people like to take
sporting chance.

Mar GUS Dale and Russell Morgan, who pleaded guilty in the superior court Co a charge of grand larceny. were sentenced by Judge Stanford to serve rom one to five years each in the state penitentiary.

HIGHWAY DEPARTMENT
 WANTS ID USE FUNDS

In addition to the efforts of the various departments of state to secure payments for obligations they have in- cured In spending appropriations made for their use by the last legisla- ture. the state highway department is making every effort to get Raymond Earhart. the new state treasurer, to change his recent action which has tied up federal funds and county board funds sent to the highway depart ment for road construction.
 In order to secure full records in the treasurers and auditors office, the highway department directed all out- side funds to be sent to the state treasurer. Mir. Earhart, in changing the custom of the previous treasurer in paying claims only to the amount of funds on hand rather than the amount of the appropriation. has made a deficit in numerous accounts, while in other accounts some million and a half dollars are available and in banks drawing per cent interest.
 The state treasurer has taken fed eral funds and county bond funds ana used them to reduce the difference between the funds on hand and the appropriations, according to the state highway department. The department claims that its contracts with various highway commissions by which 1t is spending county bond issues is an in- dependent state road tax fund and should not be used to reimburse funds Go correct tho difference between the manner of doing business of the pres ent and past state treasurer.
 The highway department is also of the opinion that the ~aeral govern ment win not permit federal funds to be used to adjust these differences and road costs to be paid by state war rants, which if at a discount would mean that the federal government would not get a dollars worth of work for each dollar for federal aid. The county highway commissions involved would be Coconino. Mohave and Pima.

MILL SITE CLAIMS
 ARE BASIS OF SUIT

Alleging that the Queen Creek Cop per company has located two mill site claims across a claim originally located by another company, which in turn sold it to the complainant the Magma Copper company instituted suit in the federal court yesterday to compel the Queen Creek Copper company to re- linquish all right and title to the land declared to be within the boundary lines of both claims.
 According to the complaint, which alleges that the matter in dispute is

more than $9,0OO in value. the Superior and Arizona Mining and Smelling com pany located the Square Deal lode min ing claim in Pinal county in 1906. This company, 1t is said, took all the neces- sary steps to a legal ownership of the claim, and afterward sold it to the Magma company. Subsequent to this sale, it is alleged, the Queen Creek com pany located the Gold Crown No. and the Mine No. 1 mill sites on ground already included in the Square Deal claim.

RAILROAD MEN SAY THEY CAN'T REDUCE
 RATES ON CEMENT

In recent conference between the highway commission and representa- lives of the Southern Pacific regard ing the $S rate on cement from River side, Cal, the railroad men said that they were helpless in the hands of the interstate commerce commission which had ordered the 25 per cent increase above the old $6. 40 rate, They said, however, that there would be another conference, but no hope was held out that the rate could be reduced.
 The commission, therefore, will have to pay the rate on shipments pay ments on which have been held up and on all that will be required for the carrying out of the present con- tract within the sum that remains of the proceeds of the first bond issue. But the statement was made, without explanation. that not penny of the $4,500,000 voted on December 31 would be spent in freight on cement at this rate or a rate nearly approaching it.
 Some light, however, was thrown upon this statement by some remarks made by Commissioner Carrick at a meeting at Glendale night befort last when the subject of street paving was taken up. MT. Carrick is a resident Of Glendale and it was in that capacity that he attended the meeting.
 There was a pronounced sentiment in favor of cement concrete paving, though earlier there had been a prefer ence for bitulithic or some other form of asphalt. There was an inclina- ton at the meeting not to give much consideration to the representatives of the black roads until MT. CarrIcK. ad- dressing the meeting. said that time | had come. and circumstances had arisen, which required that some thought had to be given to costs. He intimated that a rock road with an asphalt surface of some type was being favorably considered by the com mission in formulating its future pro- gram.

A Word AhOup Our Roads

Most of the roads in Shepherdstown
district are in a deplorable condition
and growing worse every day. After
having endured them all winter. are
we to suffer from the same conditions
through the summer also? 1t seems
very strange that no one bothers about
keeping the roads in order. The same
methods are in vogue that were used
thirty years ago, namely: Put string
of broken stone in the middle of the
road, then go away and leave il to its
fate until next year. II doesn't seem
as il it would require superb Intelligence
or impossible effort to keep the drains
open and to supply at convenient inter-
walls sufficient crushed stone to mend
the bad places. A wise observer re-
marked to the Register few DAYS ago
that hundred dollars expended in
patrolling a certain road and keeping
the drains open and filling I'D holes
would have prevented damage to the
amount Of a thousand dollars the past
year. We do not doubt this. and doubt
less the same thing is true Of other
roads. Yet no step is taken ID prevent
such damage. indifference and neglect
continue. money is wasted and our
roads grow worse. Is there no way TO
secure relief from these conditions?
