heroically at the finish. AS it turned
out. all he was able to do was pro.
long the issue. but for few moments,
at least, Johnston was again the
mighty atom of the courts as he
averted defeat twice in the eighth
game when only point separated
Cochet from victory.
Johnston Fights StubbornIy.
Cochet had service in this eighth
game, but Johnston, playing largely
on his nerve and courage, won it after
sensational fight in which deuce was
called six times. 1t was a forlorn bat
tie. with the score standing 81 in
Cochet's favor at the time. but it
whipped an excited gallery of 10000
into tbs greatest outbursts of enthu
siasm. There was continuous and
thunderous applause, despite pleas of
officials. as Johnston won the long
duel and then, in the ninth game, cap.
tured his own service at love.
One more 'break" would make it n
deuce set. Come on. Bill" the crowd
implored. as they changed courts.
Little Bill himself gritted his teeth
and shook his racquet at his foe. He
gained momentary advantage in the
tenth game, but his reserve was slip.
ping fast. Thirty-three years seemed
to weight heavily now on the slight
Californian's shoulders. His punch
was still there. but it was wild. Tn
der Cochet's forcing, he made three
straight errors, driving the ball into
the net for the point that decided the
match and the battle for the Davis
Cup.
Little Bill" even though it was his
second setback, was a hero in defeat
He had done all that could be asked
against an opponent whose resources
in youth, variety of stroke and in con.
troll were far superior. His ready
smile was there when he congratu
lated the victor. patting Cochet on
the back in fatherly fashion. but af.
terward in the dressing room, John
ston was heart broken, a reaction from
the effect Of his tense fight.

MAIN DRAINAGE BRANCH.

The main branch of the drainage
system is the "stack" running from
basement. floor through the roof 1t
is connected TO the sewer at the lower
end and ventilated to the air at the
top. \ cast-iron stack is best, and it
should be not less than four inches
in diameter.
Carry the top well above the roof
and especially above any second storv
windows. for the gases from it are
sickening and can be fatal. Connect
the bottom of the stack through "a
"Y'' clean-out connection to the pipe
running to the sewer. The clean-out
branch should be plugged with a brass
cap to prevent its rusting tight and
the pipe to the sewer should have suf-
f1cieut slope TO deliver the wastes at
sufficient velocity to scour the pipe
clean.
The waste from each closet, bowl.
laundry tub or what not should be
connected TO the stack through a sep
arate trap for each.

Mabel Boardman, national secretary
of the American Red Cross, were
among visitors who yesterday attended
the afternoon demonstration.
Mrs. G. l.. Bowman is hostess at
the Girl Scouts Little House and
Mrs. Isaac Cans. chairman of the
Girl Scout Council of the District, is
assisting. .svs. Percy Vie, Red Cross
Nurse, who has been conducting some
of the Girl Scout courses, is super
vising the infant care and bed-making
demonstrations.
1t will be remembered that the
Girl Scouts Little House, which is
a replica of the John Howard Payne
House, was built in the Better Homes
campaign of 1928. The General Fede-
ration of Women's Clubs, which spon-
sored the demonstration tn Washing
ton, offered the house at the close
of the campaign to the Girl Scouts
National Council. 1t is largely due
to the leadership and foresight of Mrs.
Hoover, it is pointed out, that the
Girl Scout headquarters has become so
well equipped to carry on the work.

Jazzy merriment and music
greeted the Christmas fans at the
Palace Theater yesterday. Bag

is the title of the affairs. and it's
about the swiftest thing in the
way of laughter that has hit this
playhouse in many moons. Not
content in providing this feast of
fun. Manager Beatus gives the
screen over to our own Mary
Pickford in her latest picture.

close to making the program per.
feet in entertaining qualities.
Touching upon the stage pre-
eentation first. the reviewer finds
THE Palace Syncopators" the one
best bet. This hustling band Of
Jazz hounds improve with each
appearance, and in the few short
weeks they have been doing their
stunts at the Palace, they GER
tainly have won host of ad.
mirers. Wesley Eddy IL still di.

well. Joey Ray delighted with
NlS SOH&S.
The presentation does not stop
there, however. For instance
there, is Dezso Retter, "The Sui.
tan's Comique," who entertainS
fright royalty with his mirthful
antics; Fred Martin, the dancer
with rubber legs; the ''Tivoli
Girls" who swing their nimble
feet in several graceful numbers;
Ernest Charles. the tenor, and
Bell and Coates, the humorous
travellers.
Mary's my Best Girl" is pic
ture worthy Of the talents Of the
favorite star of the screen. Adapt.
ed from magazine story by
Kathleen Norris, it fits Miss Pick.
ford admirably. The story cen
ters about shop girl who finds
her ideal in the person of pre-
sumably poor boy who is really
her employers son. The masque.
rade maintained by the young
lover brings about complications
that have the spectators weak
with laughter one moment and
on the verge of tears, the next.
1t makes a. most fitting medium
for Miss Pickford's reappearance
on the screen. Supporting the
star are Charles Rogers, Sunshine
Hart, Lucian Iittlefield, Hobart
BoSworth and Mack Swain.
There are several short screen
subjects and some charming
music from the Palace Players,
under the direction of Harry
