1t is very well known that a
Frenchman will stand for an awful
lot, this was thoroughly proven dur

shall have developed two or three more
players of international caliber. The
Kinsey brothers of California, Frank T.
Anderson Arnold w. Jones and Lucien
Williams, among the men, and Miss
Martha Bayard and Miss Helen Hooker,
among the girls, are striding steadily
forward toward the front ranks, and
with another two seasons of tournament
competition should be nearly ripe to
qualify as Oiympians.
Taken in conjunction with the Davis
cup matches, these Olympic games ten

our hands in both cases. Preparation

Jealousy and Regain His
Affections.

Because her husband said she was
unattractive and that IL he left her

Mrs. Veronica NJ. Tanner today told
the District Supreme Court. in an
affidavit, that she wrote love letters
to herself, and had her friends write
her loving missives. in a hope OF
bringing about a reconciliation with
her husband, Louis E. Tanner, lawyer
and income tax expert.
The pseudo love letters were left in
conspicuous place so that the hus.
band might see them. the wife de-
clares. Tanner found the letters. but
instead Of arousing his affections for
his wife. they enraged him and he pre-.
sented them to the court as evidence
OF alleged misconduct OF the wife. He
asked the court to relieve him from
paying temporary alimony. An am

endearing epistles accompanies the
wife's statement.
Through Attorney Charles E. Nor

WITNESS RETRACTS
DIAGNOSIS CHARGE
0rthopedic Surgeon Admits
He May Have Been MiStak-
en- in PendIeton Case.

Testimony intended to show that
there had existed two fractures In
stead of one in the right leg of Prt-
vate Guy Pendleton, whose legs were
amputated at Walter Reed Hospital
several months ago. and that one of
these fractures was not diagnosed
before the amputation. was given to-
day by Capt. Pernier Mix, orthopedic
surgeon at Walter Reed Hospital, be-
fore the court-martial sitting in the
case of Maj. George w. Cook, former
post surgeon at Fort Eustis, Va,
charged with malpractice.
Capt Mix, whose testimony was
continued from yesterday, examined
carefully the leg bones in alcohol.
which Private Pendleton testified
yesterday were his. and said he be-
Iieyed a fracture had taken place
which he had not diagnosed, nor OF
which he had been informed when
the case was transferred to walter
Reed for amputation.
Retracts His Statement.
Under cross-examination by coun-
sci for the defense he retracted his
statement regarding the two frac-
lures, saying he thought there were
two. and ended by saying that he
by manual examination with the hand
he could be certain in his own mind
of the existence OF the fracture.
Testimony was introduced by Capt.
Mix tending to show that so-cailed
pains of which the patient had com
planned might have been caused by
an actual pressure on some other part
of the patients body several inches
from the pain area complained OF
Capt Mix spoke of the ridges or abra-
sions in the plaster casts which were
placed about Private Pendleton's legs
after he had been brought to the post
hospital at Fort Eustis, Va, on Au-
gust 2. 1922. suffering from fracture
Of the leg bones sustained in a motor
cycle accident.
Defense Makes Objections.
Counsel for the defense objected
several times to questions by the
prosecution. which it declared were
leading questions and which could
only be answered in direct way by
the witness. Many hypothetical Ques-
tions were propounded to Capt. Mix,
some of which he said he could not
answer by reason of their involved
character and the differing anatomical
structures of human beings.
Capt, Mix's testimony will be con-
cluded today, and Maj. Norman r.
Kirk, Army Medical Corps. the sur
geon who performed the amputation,
will be put on the stand. Col. Will
liam L. Keller, chief of the surgical
service at Walter Reed Hospital, will
follow Maj. Kirk.
