These Two Helens
Seem Born Under
Same Star

Helen Jacobs, who, like Helen
Wills, seems about to win the
girls national tennis champion
ship at the age of fifteen, not
only lives in the same Califor-
MIA town as the Olympic and
national champion-Berkeley
but in a house in which the
Wills family formerly resided.
Besides that she has the same
tennis tutor that Helen Wills
had when she began to play an
important part in tournament
tennis. The new tennis prodigy
has one hobby besides tennis,
and that is short story writing.
She hasn't offered any as yet
for publication, but feels con-
fident that she can write an ac-
ceptable story.

Deportation Writ for
ZerdeChen0.

Mohammed Kakelo, some times Seid
Zerdecheno, Emir of Kurdestan, self
claimed owner of thousands of cam
els and broad acres in Asia Minor,
has come to the end Of his trail in
the United States-a trail that en-
broiled him with the police In two
cities and at last eliminated In In
generation in.the District jail.
The emir Is now in New York, and
today an order for his deportation 10
England was issued. Where he Will
go from England Is unsettled, but his
unexpired visa permits his return to
England Turkey, the land from
which he came and which claims SOW
ereignty ever Kurdestan, won't have
him, according to tho Department of
Labor. because he has already been
expelled from Turkey as an undesir-
able.
Zerdecheno arrived in New York in
July, waving papers in the face of
immigration Inspectors and claiming
diplomatic immunity. He got away
with it for while, but a New York
newspaper declared he had beat a
board bill and made other charges
against him that caused the immigra-
tion service to put him under sur
veillance. Coming to Washington. he
made an unsuccessful attempt TO OBJ
tain the o. X. of the Secretary OF
State to his diplomatic papers, and
he was finally arrested on a charge
of Illegally entering the United
States.
He remained in Jail for nearly a
month before bail arrived that would
free him pending IA decision as TO
his case. Finally the board of re-
view Of the Labor Department, the
last court of appeal in immigration
cases, ruled against the legality of
his remaining in this country, and he
was ordered deported.
