Neither professional golf nor tennis
for women can live permanently, "
says Glenna Collett, former national
women's golf champion, in The Yale
Daily News. THE novelty OF the
innovation of professional tennis
matches will soon wear out and the
same would be true Of golf If it
were introduced.
although professional tennis will
undoubtedly increase the popular
ity of tennis among amateurs, it's
own success Is very problematical.
The novelty of this innovation, to-
gether with the desire Of the
Americans to see the tempera
mental Suzanne Lenglen. who has
more or less captivated their i'm
agination. assures it's success for
the present.
But I think the novelty will
wear off and the curiosity OF the
public will be satisfied in a short
while. In this case the profess
SIGNALS will be forced to give up

said, there are only six or seven

had been neglecting my first posi-
tions. I corrected this fault and for
some years have not been troubled
with cracked hands. A boxer must
be as careful of his hands as an
opera singer is with the throat.
My first actual boxing lesson was
given me by Major Anthony j.
Drexel Biddle, famous Philadelphia
sportsman, soldier and athlete.
Never shall forget my association
with the major. l had been sent
to Quantico following my accept
ance into the ranks of the Marines.
AT Quantico I was drilled in the
art of fighting-not with gloves,
but with bayonets. hand grenades
and guns.
Major BiddIe was i'm charge of
the bayOnet drills. He also was
our athletic instructor. 1t was in
squad drill i'm boxing that / was
told how to execute pugiliStic
maneuvers. Major BiddIe was an
excellent tutor and a natural
boxer. He had absorbed many Of
the fine points of the game
through his long association and
training with Philadelphia Jack
O'Brien.
When went to Philadelphia for
the Dempsey fight, I met Major
Biddle for the first time since 1 left
Quantico. 1t was when l was en-
route for my Stroudsburg training
camp that the major looked me up.
He was as healthy and robust as
ever, for he takes excellent care of
himself at all times.

with His own example of clean living
and daily exercise. He used to be
up and about long before anyone else
was stirring. and would put himself
through strenuous exercises.
1t was Major Biddle who first at
tempted to rouse in me that quality
which my critics say l lack-'the
killer instinct" In bayonet practice
the major used to roar at us as we
charged the sawdust dummies, shout
ing such things as:
'Stick 'em and grunt! Let me see
you snarl. Grunt. 1 tell you! Stick
'em and twist the steel in 'em until
they scream! They're NOT DUN
MES; they're ENEMIES! Git it TO

Meeting the major now one feels
that he is a singularly unwarlike
gentleman, but at the time he was
drilling us he was able to inspire
himself with absolute viciousness, a
requisite of the business in hand.

been champion, had he elected to
follow the game professionally.

Needle Trade
Chaos Opposed
by the Workers

New York-Several manufacturers
have signed an agreement with the
International Ladies' Garment Work
ers' union.
The workers called a general strike
to compel employers in this city to
eliminate waste and stabilize this
highly seasonal calling. A survey by
the union, made two years ago, shows
that out of 10000 sewing machines in
1,483 shops, more than 5000 were un-
occupied. This waste in rent and ma
chimes is unnecessary, the workers
claim.
The most glaring evil is the hum
dreds of petty submanufacturers, who
operate two or three machines in a
rear room. Jobbers hawk their con-
tracts to these small manufacturers,
and the competition results in sweat
shop conditions for workers.
A commission appointed by Cover
nor Smith has given two years study
to this industry. The EMPLOYERS show
no indication Of acting on the COM
MISSIONS recommendations

Coal Miners
Prevailing Freight Rates Are
Powerful Weapons for
NOn-UniOn Operators

Indianapolis, Inds - Officers
of the United Mine Workers are
objecting to freight rate policies
of the Interstate Commerce
Commission.
The rates favor anti-union coal
from the West Virginia, Kentucky and
Virginia fields, and is aiding anti-un-
ion coal operators in driving union
mined coal out of some of the ma
tons best markets. Much of the coal
stagnation in northern fields can be
traced, it is said, to these unfair rates.
At the request of union operators
of Ohio and Pennsylvania, the COM.
ers to hold hearings. The examiner
recommended that changes be made
and that discrimination against these
states be abolished.
"For the first time in it's history"
says the United Mine Workers Jour-
nal, "the Interstate Commerce Com
mission rejected the recommendations
of one of its examiners. The COM
mission refused to- change the rates,
which gave the non-union mines of
West Virginia, Kentucky and Vir-
ginia an advantage over the union
Mines"
This inequality is shown in rates
from the western Pennsylvania coal
region to the Great Lakes. Approx
mately $1.50. ton is charged to the
lakes, distance of $50 to ITO miles,
while the rates from Kentucky, south
ern West Virginia and Virginia to the
Great Lakes, a, distance of 400 to 500
miles, is from $1.85 to $1.95 ton.
These freight concessions are a
powerful weapon for the anti-union
coal operators in their fight against
the United Mine Workers.

Although authorities on health rec

food, like other substitutes for the
natural supply, it should not be con-

Addition of orange or tomato juice,

tant in providing adequate diet for
the infant.
For babies, milk of dependable pur-
ity is essential. Market milk will not
keep for any length of time and is also

Sterility In evaporated milk, author
tiles agree, is one of the most impor-

240 degrees heat for half hour,

Home Secretary Assails Americas
Attitude on Exclusion-Other
Urges Friendliness.

By Radio TO The Star and Chicago Daily News.
AMSTERDAM, May 20.-America
'Is for Americans, and as soon as
the people on the other side do not
want some one any longer, they ex'
clude." said Herr Kan, new Minister
of the Home Office, in a heated debate
in the Chamber over the American
decision to prohibit the import OF
Dutch narcissus bulbs.
The Government was interpellated
on the matter, and a harsh tone was
heard against the United States,
which was upbraided for hypocrisy.
The quarantine against Dutch bulbs
which the American Government
deemed necessary because of the pos
sibility of contagion, means serious
blow to Dutch bulb growers.
The American measures were called
purely protectionist, and it was
asserted there was no danger Of con-
tagion from the bulbs.
Foreign Minister Van Karnebeek
interviewed, saying he did not believe
the American attitude tailed with the
good relations between the two
countries. He urged the chamber
however, to avoid anything which
might displease the Washington
Government.
