YANKEE WOMEN
TAKE H0N0RS in
TENNIS SINGLES
English Doubles Team Is
Able to Beat Yanks and
Remain in Running.
BY MARY X, BROWNE

(Coupyright, 1927, by United Press
FOREST HILLS, n. Y, Aug. l3.
American tennis, at least, seems
to be a case of single blessed
ness, while the English brand ap-
pears to work better in double harm
oss. The two singles matches of the
international series played at Forest
Hills yesterday turned out to be a
walkaway for the Americans. Helen
Wills took less than 80 minutes to
dispose of Joan Fry and Mrs. Molla
Mallory only little longer to de.
Feat Mrs. Kitty McKane Godfree.
The second English doubles team,
however, scored the only victory
for England and kept their team in
the running. The doubles victory
gives Great Britain an outside
chance of winning the series by
taking all but one of the four
matches on today's schedule.
Scarcely anyone would give a
nickel for Mrs. Godfree s chances
against Helen Wills so that means
that Betty Nuthall must defeat
Helen Jacobs, Joan Fry must beat
Mrs. Mallory and then Mrs. Godfree
and Miss Harvey must triumph ov-
or Mrs. Wightman and Helen Wills.
There were a few who felt that
Joan Fry didn't play well against
Helen Wills, but it was my opinion
that Helen never gave Joan chance
to play aggrcssivcly. Helen kept
her forever on the defensive and
scrambling despcratelyA The Am
erican girl served with speed and
a decided cut far to the outside
service line. Both types of service
forced defensive shots from Miss
Fry.
Then Helen either sent singing
backhand or forearm drives sizzling
to the vital parts of Miss Fry S
territory.
Mrs. Mallory Good
| The best the English girl could
do was TO scramble, some times sue
cceding in returning them effective
ly but more often she was unable
, to reach the spot. Joan Fry Is
: strong, fast and a wonderful re
triever, but she was helpless in the
/ face of Helen's perfect stroking
Mrs. Mallory played beautiful ten
mis- throughout her match with Mrs
Godfree and again justified The
committee s implicit faith in Molla
as fighter and a player who takes
the best advantage of every Oppor
, tunity. Mrs. Godfree was far off
: her usual game.
The doubles match was the most
exciting of the day and while it was
patchwork quilt of good and bad
| tennis, it was nip and tuck from
beginning to end with the English
trailing most of the way until the
I last few minutes of play.

TIDINGS OF GREAT JOY

''The angel said unto them: Fear not; for be-
hold, bring you good tidngs of great joy, which
shall be to all people. For unto you is born this
day in the city Of David Saviour, which is Christ
the Lord, Luke 2:1O, IL.
Next Sunday, in communities all over the world
more than 6OO,OOO,OOO people will again recall
the beautiful story of the birth of the Christ, the
most tremendously important event of all the
ages The hearts of those attuned to the spiritual
may once more catch the heavenly voices of the
angel chorus singing "Peace on Earth, Good viii
to Men" And Christians whose conception of
their faith is deep and sincere will endeavor to
observe the day in manner in keeping with the
teachings of their Master.
Perhaps there are some who will not catch the
more sublime significance of the universally cele-
brated holiday. Their thoughts may be on ma
tera things, but nevertheless so great is the out
pouring of the Christmas spirit, they cannot help
being benefited. The essence of the Christ,
which is Love, will penetrate their consciousness
in varying degrees and irresistibly lift them a
little higher little nearer to that goal of God
like perfection which is the ultimate destiny of
man.
Nineteen hundred twenty seven years ago the
Wise Men of the East jOurneyed to Bethlehem
to kneel in reverence beside the cradle in the
manager and to lay costly gifts at His feet Today
wise men and women all over the world are in
ever-increasng numbers gaining their spiritua
inspiration from the same source for, like tn,
Wise Men of DID, they realize that in the Chris
is the Tight of the world" And on this Christ
mas day, a gift of great price, what better
present could we lay at His feet than ourselves
living sacrifices, acceptable unto Cod?

CLEM CALLS DEMOCRATs

Washington, D. G. - Glenn Shaver,
chairman of the Democratic National
committee, has called a meeting of
his august organization for January
II in Washington. In anticipation of
this gathering of the stalwarts of
the Jeffersonian and Jacksonian
school of political thought, the public
safety commissioner of Washington
is making certain arrangements based
on its memories of the Madison Square
convention for the Guarding of the
lives of innocent bystanders. The
police will be held available at all
hours and all vacations have been
cancelled. The firemen, with hose in
hand, are to sleep in their clothes.
In the hospitals, emergency and other
institutions, special beds have been
prepared and set apart and an addi-
tiOnal fleet of sturdy ambulances has
been secured. In short, the Demo-
cratic announcement that they intend
to have peace even if they have to
fight for it, has been accepted liter
ally, and no doubt wisely, by the
municipal authorities. Yesterday a
reassuring note was published to the
inhabitants by the city officials that
they did not believe it would be nee
essary to send the women and chill
dren out of Washington.

REQUESTS OF GROWERS

Washington, D. C.-The tariff COM
mission, it is learned, has virtually
completed some half a dozen investi-
cations of the pleas of the agricul-
turists for an increase in the tariff
duties on certain farm commodities.
The report on onions asked for by
southern California will reach the
commission next week and a public
hearing will be held in two weeks.
The citrus, celery and other investi-
cations also are scheduled to climax
very shortly. In all these cases, the
farmers have asked for increases ia
protect them from the low labor cost
foods from Cuba, Mexico, Spain, Italy
and various South American coun-
tries.
Some of the Republican leaders
most anxious TO help the farmers il
over the possibility, in the event the
tariff commission agreeing 10 all Of
the increases requested, of the con
sumers becoming aroused. The whis
per has already started on Capito
hill that Senator Wagner of New
York is seriously considering the in
PRODUCTION of the consumer argument
building up a case on the ground tina
J in the desire to help the farmer tn,
/ industrial workmen are being ignored
This is an absolutely prepOsterou
argument, but it must be admitte'
it has an element of plausibility, es
pecially as the farmers themselve
have been at pains to force into tn
public mind the theory that the tarif
rates are always passed to the con
sumers. 1t is to be hoped some 0
the farm leaders will give this neV
development serious consideration
We cannot afford a farmer-industris
clash, not because of party fortunes
but because it would be nA3 thin
for the country at la.T;e.

FRANCE MARVELS

George Martin, editor of Farm and Fireside, an
agricultural magazine, got the surprise of his
life few weeks ago when he arrived in France
for brief vacation trip
He found the French nation engaged in wide
spread controversy, started by an editorial he had
written shortly before his, departure All around
him during his stay in France there ragged spirit
ed argument, with his editorial as the storm
center
The first blast in the campaign was a New
York dispatch carried by all the newspapers of
France, Belgium and Switzerland, which stated
"The magazine Farm and Fireside has sounded
warning which should attract international at-
tention. 1t declares in effect that there are too
many farmers in the United States and that )ut
OF 100000 persons now engaged in agriculture
at least 100000 could be spared without loss
In fact, the country would be better off if this
number would abandon farming and find places
IN industry. Agriculture would be better served
only the best land would be worked, and the best
and most efficient methods would be used"
This dispatch sounded like rank treason to the
French, who have been desperately pushing ;

CALIFORNIA AUTO LICENSES
From the Great Falls Tribune

FTOIu GIlS GICdG dis lIlOuIS
From reliable source at the state capital we
learn that survey discloses more than 200 Mon
tana automobiles were operated for the greater
part of this year in this state with California
license plates. Some of these cars were licensed
while the owners were in the Golden state last
winter; others were licensed while the cars were
in this state, and it is known that few of them,
at least, never touched California soil.
The reason that Montanans go to all the trouble
of licensing their cars in California instead of
Montana is that the southern state has flat
license rate of $3.50 a car, while the Treasure
state license is graduated, with the average large
car paying SIS or more year.
Persons who resort to this sharp practice are
stealing from their home state. They are sending
money to help build the roads of California which
is more seriously needed in Montana.
But it is not expected that many of them will
be able to get away with it during 1928 All of
the sheriffs have been advised to scrutinize cars
bearing California licenses and those persons
driving such cars, unless they can prove Calf
orna residence, will be in trouble. Montana main
tains reciprocal relations with California in the
matter of automobile registration. A California
automobile can stay in Montana so days without
taking out Montana license; Montana car can
do the same in California. So those Montanans
who license their cars in California won't be able
to use their licenses for more than go days in
this state, next year, if the sheriffs are on the
job.

''back to the farm" movement for many years.
"Such ideas are not far from criminalY' de-
cared Paris editorial, while the great French
financial paper said: "These Americans They
do nothing in the same way as normal people In
France agriculture suffers from lack of man
power In America things are exactly the op-
posite. But probably the American editor is
joking" The Paris Temps urged: "Let us hope
this chaotic American doctrine will never gain
converts in Francew >.
1t is odd that no European paper saw the real
point of Mr.. Martins editorial-that the reason
farming requires less man power in America is
because of the application of labor-saving mach
inery to farm problems. Europe is still trying
to solve its agricultural problems by methods
which were discarded here a decade ago." says

Grafton, their savings are at once abb
sorbed by the cities and towns which
increase their own rates. The presi-
dent, through the budget commission,
and through congress, acts to directly
influence federal expenditures, but
there Is no one who has been able to
assume blanket authority to even
check the increase in rates in city,
town and state governments. The
governors of the various states in
their inaugural messages continually
point to these local increases but the
orgy of spending continues.
The average per caDita cost of ad-
mlnlstering government in some $50
cities in the United States is now in
excess of $4,000 as compared with
$500 in 1926, an increase of 42-3
per cent. In the city of New York
for example, the per capita cost OF
1917 was 1854; it is now virtually
$500. Cleveland shows the smallest
increase, of all the cities. It's peI
capita cost in 1925 was S39. SO, and
for 1926 it was $39.67, an increase
OF only one cent. Yet Cleveland peO.
pie are not satisfied, their theory be.
ing that instead of the one cent in.
crease, they should have shown a de
crease.

UNITY OF OPINION

While unanimity of opinion on the part of the
different farm organizations with reference to
agricultural legislation is desirable it is inevitable
that there shall be some difference of opinion on
such a subject. 1t has been pointed out that when
the Federal Reserve act was being debated before
congress there was great difference of opinion
among bankers in regard to the measure In fact
the records show that actually majority of bank
ers appeared to be opposed to it. It is also true
that most of the transportation interests fought
bitterly against the Interstate Commerce COM
mission act.
In the case of the agricultural legislation now
being considered, perhaps the remarkable thing
is that so many of the farm organizations have
united behind one measure. Let those interests
that have never disagreed, cast the first stone

MOST DEL E(5 ATES


Washington, D. C.-While a varl-
ety of explanations have been given
for the selection of Kansas City for
the Republican national convention,
the one dominant reason was its avail
ability to the mass Of Republican
delegates and alternates. In the
earlier days before President Cool
idge's statement on August second,
San Francisco was first choice. While
Chairman Butler skillfully and wisely
resisted, even while in California, the
many attempts made to pledge him
to the City of the Golden Gate, it
is known that he was more than in
clined to favor Mr.. Crocker's selec-
ton for the convention. At that time,
of course, the denomination of Mr..
Coolidge was the naturally expected
happening, and the convention itself,
it was assumed, would be little more
than an acclamatlon meeting. The
identity of the owners of the yea
votes, which it was expected would
be cast, was of but small moment;
in short, whether they were dele
gates or alternates, or even holders
of alternates' proxies, was of no par
ticular Importance.
The withdrawal of the president
however, changed that situation i'm.
mediately. The elder statesmen o1
the party sensed that the convention
of 1928 would have to select a candi
date, and not merely confirm a choice
made by the people in advance; anC
to make certain that this selection
would be made by regularly-electeC
delegates, it was agreed a more ac
cessible CITY than San Francisco
should be named. Kansas City, whicl
is in the exact geographical center O.
the country, thus became a logica
/ choice. Available by an Overnigh
journey from almost any direction
the possible plea of the business dele
gate that he would be unable to at
tend if San Francisco were the place
because he could not afford to spen,
the time, not to speak of the money
was at once disposed Of.
1t can be said now, in advance, tina
the men and women who sit and pic
the nominee at Kansas City will b
the regularly elected delegates, an
the Democratic issue, which is in tn
making, that the nominee would onl
have a proxy title has been dispose

CLEVELAND LOOMS

Washington, D. C.-Cleveland, it IS
reported, is likely to be selected for
the location of the Democratic wig
wan. There is a strong tendency to-
ward Detroit because of attractions
just outside that city, but Cleveland
is likely to win.
Al the present writing, Democratic
talk appears to run to the acceptance
of the Smith nomination. Their are
still growlings and grumblings from
the Southland, but those in charge OF
the Smith boom declare that they
care but little whether the Southern
Democracy likes it or not; that or
election day they will have to vote
for "Al" Smith, and that they have
no other way out. The recent halt
ing of all discussion about the aboli
tion of the famous Democratic two
thirds rule, which the Smith people
were originally insistent should b'
repealed, has generally been inter
preted as new evidence that the Smith
lead is so large that the New Yorl
governor can be nominated anyway
and that the two-thirds rule accord
ingly becomes an nninteresting in
cident.
