T|LDEN TELLS0 OF
TENNIS THRILLS
"Maury" Mclaughlin Gave
Worlds Champion His First
Memorable Moments
DEFEAT OF THE "C0MET"
By WILLIAM T. TILDEN

Every game has its great moments,
moments that stand ont and will live
forever in the memories Of those who
saw them pass. Tennis ls no exception.
The game IL full Of incidents that crowd
drama, pathos, even tragedy, into a
short space Of fleeting time. and almost
within the white lines of the court
itself.
Every player who has attained the
championship fight has passed through
some moment that TO him classes with
these memorable ones. Whether his
great moments in the game are really
historic. time alone can tell, but to him
they are truly SO. 1t is Of some Of

THE WORLDS HOTTEST SPOT

Ten years of records obtained at the
United States Weather Bureau sub
station at Greenland ranch in Death
Valley, Cal, indicate that this is the
hottest region in the United States,
and probably on earth. The average
of extreme maximum temperature re-
ported to the United States depart
ment of agriculture since 1911 has
been 125 degrees F. At Greenland
ranch temperatures of 100 degrees F.
or higher occur almost daily during
June, July, and August. The hottest
mon.n on record is July, 1917, when
the mean temperature was 1912 de-
grees f. But the temperature of 134
degrees r. observed on July 10, 1913,
is believed by meteOrolOgists to be the
natural-air temperature ever
recorded with a standard tested Their
mometer exposed in the shade under
approved conditions.
Death Valley is from two to eight
miles wide and about 100 miles long,
lying between high mountain ranges.
1t is the deepest depression in the
United States, some 337 feet below
sea level Greeland ranch is ITS feet
below sea level. White people find
the midsummer heat intolerable, and
even the Indians go up to the Pana
mint range during July and August.
The normal annual precipitation in
Death Valley is less tLan two inches.
Successful agriculture can not be
maintained on less than Is or 20
inches of annual precipitation without
the aid of irrigation. A group of
springs serves as the source of irri-
cation water supply for Greenland
ranch. The water has a temperature
of about 100 degrees F. and is only
sufficient to irrigate 70 acres. Four
crops of alfalfa are gathered each
year. The. principal product of the
ranch is dressed meat, but expert
ments are being made in raising poul
try and in growing vegetables, dates,
citrus, and deciduous fruits.

VANISHING ROMANCE

Gray-haired men, during spring
time, are haunted by the fascinating
memories of departed youth. Many of
them recall how, about this time of
year, long ago, they dreamed of run
ming away to sea. OF all forms of
romantic adventure, the sailors life
has been the top-notcher since Marco
Polo some six centuries ago brought
the magnetic needle compass from
Asia, thereby putting ocean explora-
ton firmly on its feet 1t was a great
step forward from charting a ships
course by the stars.
But in few generations the world
has seen romance steadily driven
from the sailors life. The beautiful
full-rigged schooner rotted at anchor,
crowded out by the steamship The
slave trader passed. Pirates were
driven from the high seas. Seamen's
unions regulate ocean life where once
the cutlass, belayin'-pin and walk
ing the plank" reigned supreme.
One of the final nails has just been
driven in the coffin Of ocean romance
in the Westinghouse electrical plant,
Philadelphia. The occasion was the
first successful demonstration of a
giant SyTOSCOp0 WHICH Will prevent
big ocean liners from rolling except
during heavy storms. Similar "gyro-
stabilizers" are already in use on
some smaller ships, especially yachts.
The typical 1922 reaction to this will
be the thought that seasickness final
ly is preventable. But therell be very
little thanks among men who, as boys,
wanted to be Treasure Island
pirates when they grew up.
Romance is disappearing from the
land, as we'll as the ocean. 1t is one
of the penalties of what man calls
progress, or the conquest of the earth
and the elements. Scientists and in
ventors are making life dull, cut-and-
dried, and romance exits with uncer-
tainties. The modern boy senses this.
The briny deep has no such lure for
him as it had for his father. And the
1922 youngster is losing lot, even if
he imagines that his is finding as
much romance in wireless and air.
planes as his dad found in the domain
Of shanghaied sailors.
The day is not far off when for the
most part romance will exist only in
science. Boyhood probably has in
store q food OF books of the scientific
romance sort, such as Jules Verne
created.-State Journal.

EXCHANGE WAR SAVINGS
STAMPS FOR NEW ISSUE

WASHINGTON, D. c., Nov. 13.-War
Savings Stamps of the series of 1918
become due and payable on January
/, 1928. The people who bought these
stamps will receive their full face
value upon redemption and viii find
that the money they saved five years
ago has earned every year abour four
per cent compound interest In or
der to afford holders of war savings
stamps an opportunity to continue
their investment in a safe government
security the Treasury Department is
offering an exchange of War Savings
Stamps for Treasury Savings Certifi-
Gates. The certificates are issued in
denominations of SIS, 500 and $1,000
maturity value, and sold for $20.50,
$50 and 1920, respectively. Holders
of War Savings Stamps can get them
at these prices upon application
through their own banks or their post
offices. Exchanges will be made as of
January /, 1928, upon applications
presented between November Is, 1922,
and January Is, 1923. Immediate
payment will be made in cash of any
difference due the holder of War Saw
ings Stamps if he takes the largest
possible amount of Treasury Savings
Certificates on the exchange.
The growing inclination of the peo-
pie to save and their desire to find
safe reinveStment for their money
leads Treasury officials to believe that
a large part of the six hundred mill
lion dollars in War Savings Stamps
soon to become due will be exchanged
for Treasury Savings Certificates.

THE WANTS OF MAN

MAN wants but little here below,
Nor wants that little long"
IT'S not with me exactly so,
But It's, so in the song,
NV wants are many and, II told
Would muster many a score;
And were each wish mint Of gold
[ still should long for more.
What first I want is daily bread
And canvas backs-and wine
And all the realms OF nature spread
Before me when I dine.
Four courses scarcely can provide
My appetite to quell;
With four choice cooks from France
beside,
To dress my dinner well.
What next I want at princely cost
Is elegant attire:
Black sable furs for winters frost
And silks for summers fire,
And CASHMERE shawls, and Brussels
lace
My bosom's front to deck
And diamond rings my hands to
grace,
And rubies for my neck.
1 want (who does not want?) wife,
Affectionate and fair,
To solace all the woes of life,
And all it's joys to share,
OF temper sweet, of yielding will,
Of firm, yet placid mind
With all my faults to love me still
With sentiment. refined.
And as Times car incessant runs,
And Fortune fills my store,
I want of daughters and of sons
From eight to half score.
| want (alas! shall mortal dare
Such bliss on earth to craveO
That all the girls be chaste and fair
The boys all wise and brave.
I want a farm and faithful friend
To cheer the adverse hour;
Who ne'er to f1atter will descend,
Nor bend the knee to power
A friend to chide me when I'm wrong
My Utmost soul to see;
And that my friendship prove as
strong
For him as his for me.
I want the seals of power and place
Inc enSlgnS OF command,
Charged by the Peoples unbought
grace
To rule my native land.
Nor crown nor scepter would | ask
But from my country's will,
By day, by night, to ply the task
Her cup of bliss to fill.
I want the voice of honest praise
To follow me behind,
And to be thought in future days
The friend of human kind;
That after ages, as they rise,
EXulting may proclaim
In choral union to the skies
Their blessings on my name.
These are the Wants of Mortal Man.
| cannot want them long, H.
For life itself is but a span,
And earthly bliss-a song.
My last great Want absorbing all
Is, when beneath the sod,
And summoned to my final call,
The Mercy of my God.

SOFT DRINK MEN CLAIM
THAT BEER WAS NEAR

MADISON-Proceedi in the trlal
of the Pra. du CHEN Brg. Co. and It's
president, Louis Silberschmidt, were
enlivened here Monday when six pro-
prietors of soft drink parlors testlnea
in federal court.
Objections on the part OF the gov
eminent, represented by Dist. ATTY.
w. II. Dougherty, and the defense, IN
the hands of Ralph Jackman, were
continuous as the question OF whether
or not there are two brewing compan-
les or one involved in the case crept
into the testimony.
An apparent point Tor the detense
was brought out when the SIX govern
ment witnesses, cross-examlned py
Attorney Jackman, all declared the
beverage they had on tap when visited
by prohibition agents last December,
was near beer, of which the federal
men took samples. The government
alleges the company made and SOLO
real beer
Under repeated objections of the
government, the defense also ques-
toned each witness as to whether the
firm from which they bought their
beverages was the Pra. du Chen Brig.
Co. or the Pra. du CHEN Products co.
While it appeared that both names ac-
tualIy apply to the same concern, the
charge on which the trial is being con-
Quoted names the Pra. du Chen Brew
ing Co.
Each witness denied that he had
been party to an agreement TO Duy
