Difficulty.
By the Associated Press.


WIMBLEDON. England, June 81
Mile. Suzanne Lenglen, worlds wom-
an lawn tennis champion, easily de-
feated Mrs. George Wightman of
Boston in the womens singles of
the Wimbledon tournament today, in
the feature match on the center
court, 60, 60.

an champion, defeated Mrs. Edging-
ton, England, 6-2, g..
Miss Elizabeth Ryan, the former
Californian, defeated Mrs Phyllis

G. Lowe, the English internationally.
6-1, 6-3. Ga.
j. Condor and Mrs. Molla B. Mall
lory defeated G. Leembruggen and
Mrs. Stebbing, 6-3, 60.
Mrs. Wightman put up fight
against Mile. Lenglen which the
score hardly indicates. Time after
time the doughty little captain of
the American women's tennis team
won the plaudits of the packed stands
as she played through long rallies,
volleying and cutting her cross
court shots superbly, only to lose the
point by an overhead smash that flew
far beyond the base line.
The officials stopped the match once
and asked the crowd not to applaud
during the rallies.
Mrs. Wightman was unable to con-
troll her long shots. Suzanne soon
saw this weakness and waited at the
base line for the Bostonian's mis-
takes Only one game went to deuce,
the third of the second set, with Mrs.
Wightman serving. The crowds
murmured with excitement at the
possibility of the French girl losing
a game, but the American had double
faults on two of the next four points
and the game went to the French
woman.

BY the Associated Press.

SAN FRANCISCO, June 27.-Four

out of control. The biggest is in San
ia Clara County, seventy-five miles

which have destroyed l25,O0O acres of
forest grazing land are being blown
eastward into Stanislaus County and
toward the rich farming land of the
San Joaquin Valley.
In the timbered mountains of Sierra
and PlumaS Counties close to Nevada
two more blaZeS are roaring past the
efforts at control lines. More than
1000 acres had been burned in Sierra
County and the flames were still
spreading at the last report In Plu-
mas County a new fire seven miles
from Westwood was reported de-
veloping headway which threatened
an immense acreage of commercial
timber.
After being conldered under con-
troll for twenty-fo hours the flames
which earlier in the week threatened
Gen. Grant National Park. fifty miles
east of Frenso, escaped their bounds
late yesterday and were reported
spreading rapidly despite augmented
fire fighting crews
Other forest fires which have called
forth hundreds of firefghters since
last Sunday, in a half dozen parts of

to get loan from Isadore Padorr by

Because of the illness of Thomas B.

Brick House of At
tractive Interior
and Design.
Balance Adds to the Dignity,
Should Be Built on
Imposing Site

When an architect Is working upop
the design of a brick house he strives
first Of all for simplicity of lines.
Brick depends for it's beauty upon
color and dignity. And as we have
often said in these articles on home
making, a house should be designed
from a woman's point of view. First.
there should be an arrangement of
rooms that permits the greatest pos
sible degree of comfort. From such
a grouping of rooms must rise the
side walls. Windows must be planned
in such a way that they give light to
the room, a chance for picturesque
arrangement of furniture, and at the
same time have A symmetrical posi-
ton on the outside of the house. To
obtain all these points is not always
easy.
In the brick house here-shown all
these points have been gained. First
