nouncement that Mrs. Z. Nolan, who
recently became a member of the
House from the Fifth California Dis
trict. succeeding her husband, the late
John /. Nolan, had assured the asso-
citation against the prohibition amend
ment that she would work for modifi-
cation of the Volstead act. was made
last night by the association, which
said in q. statement that Mrs. Nolan
had summed up her stand on prohibit
ton as follows:
Il believe in the modification Of the
Volstead act and am for the control
of alcoholic beverages by the govern
ment. This would stop traffic in i'm
pure liquors that is now a menace to
public health. would eliminate the .un-
American interference with + rsonal
liberty that the present laws permit.
1t would remove disregard for laws
that do not represent the will of the
majority that is growing danger to
our national life"

monarch is great lover of animals
and is fond of hunting and riding.
Indeed, the king of Hedjaz has thrown
open his entire estates to his visitor.
The sultan spends much of his
time in the study Of religious books,
and in retrospection. He receives Eu-
ropean and American papers regular
ly and follows with keen interest the
progress of events in .Constantinople
and the rise of the new Turkey.
Welfare OF Wives.
Many of his former supporters keen
in touch with him by letter. advising
him of the trend Of things in Angora.
General Harrington sends him word
occasionally about the welfare of the
four wives he was forced 10 leave on
the banks of the Bosphorus.
That the deposed sultan still enjoys
great popularity and respect from
Mussulmans is shown by the hearty
greeting he receives from the populace
OF Mecca and the long lines Of pill
grims that daily visit the sacred city
from afar. Whenever he appears in
public with his little son. he is given
as warm an ovation as King Hus-
sein himself.
Every Friday the king and his guest
repair TO the sacred mosque TO do HON
age to the memory Of the founder
of the Moslem faith.

EAST SHOULD PREVAIL
JohnstOn's Slump Hurts Chances Of
Vests Tennis Team.
Ry LAWRENCE PERRY.

Copyright. by the San Antonio Light
New York, Sept. 20.-While there
are always possibilities of overturil
in the field of lawn tennis, as in any
other sport, it does seem as though
the East should fail to prevail over
the West in the inter-sectional tennis
matches which begin Friday at Forest
Hills.
Johnston's failing form-which his
legion of admirers here are hoping is
a passing manifestation of his game
seems to remove the one player whose
prowess might otherwise have rem
dered the outcome of the series doubt
ful.
Tilden, Richards. Hunter and Will
liams contribute singles and doubles
contestants which Johnston. the Kin
seys, Harvey Snodgrass and Grirnn
should not on their 1923 showing
overcome.
1t. is rather curious fact that this
East versus West series should in
volve rather a wide representation of
the eastern section while Californians
alone stand as representatives of the
immense stretch of country beyond
the Alleghenies.
Why is it that the Middle West
does not produce outstanding tennis
stars. outstanding, that is TO say, in
terms of international or even national
tennis? And what about the South?
The writer heard this question asked
several times in the course of the ma
tional singles tourney at German
town. One answer may be that lava
tennis has not attained the popularity
in those sections that it has on the
west coast and along the Atlantic sea-
board. Fewer boys are taking up the
game with serious purpose.
Perhaps another reason may be
found in the reply of a Canadian edi-
tor TO a similar question put to him
by the writer concerning the Domin
ion. He said "our young men work too
hard up here and no positions are
open wherein a tennis player mag
work only when the tennis season is
not on"
