New Electrical Device
Saves Frayed Wires

A device readily slipped onto
standard electric plug-caps of any
style or make and quickly fastened,
so that 1t will not slip off, by merely
tightening screw, is said by the
manufacturer to prevent frayed
wires, burnt-out fuses. and broken
plug-caps on floor lamps. irons and
other electrical appliances.
This device permits the force to
be exerted on the plug rather than
the wire, as it has hooks which
give the fingers a safe and COM
Portable grip. No rewriting is neees-
sary. The device is finished in
black to match the hard rubber or
composition plug and is said to be
durable and inexpensive.

TAX UNITS

The setting up of nationwide
affiliation of owners of real estate
which would enable property owners
to have a direct part in support of
the work of real estate boards for
local State and Federal action IN
measures affecting real estate is
contained in resolution passed by
the board of directors of the Ma.
tional Association of Real Estate
Boards at it's quarterly meeting,
held in conjunction with the asso-
cations annual business meeting,
just closed, in Birmingham, Ala.
The action of the board, taken
unanimously, is in the form of rec
concentrations to the member boards
of the association, which cover more
than 500 cities.
1t is important for all real estate
owners and for real estate that
there be a modernization of State
and local tax systems, so as to
bring about a more equitable dis
tribut1on of this portion of the tax
burden. and that proposed measures
for city planning and for city
growth be soundly framed,
Real estate boards. it is pointed
OUT, form the one existing group
organized to speak for all real es.

1t is estimated that at least so
per cent of the work of a real es.
tate board is concerned with civic

portance to property owners.

membership of the association have
MADE provision for the participa.

viewpoint.

board is in charge of an executive
secretary and clerical staff which

The farm population of the United

of Agriculture Economics of the Agri-
culture Department to be the small
est In 20 years Persons working
on farms on January /, 1929, were esti-
mated at 27,511 600, as compared with
a peak of 100000 in 1909.
The estimate showed decrease in
farm population during the last year
despite what it said was an improve
ment in agricultural conditions and
slight slackening in industrial employ
ment.
The decrease last year would have
been much greater were it not offset by
an excess of births over deaths. The
figures revealed that 100000 persons
left farms during the year and only
1862 900 moved from cities TO farms.
The movement away from the soil
was shown to have slowed up somewhat
during the year as compared with pre-
ceding years, but the movement from
cities to farms also was smaller.

point out that q heavy tax would be
levied by the government, whereas
amateur events escape. I believe the
French are not worrying about the tax
situation SO much as the efect 1t would
have on their own national champion
ships.
According to authentic reports from
Europe, Rene Lacoste will never again
enter serious tournament competition.
Tennis followers will regret his passing
from such play, especially If open
championships are held next year. The
pale-face French title holder has never
been in robust health since the early
stages of his brilliant court career. Now
that he has entered business and Is
about to be married, Rene feels that
hard tournament tennis is too much of
a drain on his physique.
It is with a genuine pang Of regret
that I write this, because as student
of the game Rene was in a class by
himself. He was a great inspiration to
the younger players In every lawn tennis
playing nation.
The case Of B. I. c. Norton, who
turned pro for the Palm Beach profess
Sional championship last Winter and
then Immediately applied for reinstate-
ment as an amateur, will probably come
up for discussion at the annual meeting
of the United States Lawn Tennis As
sociation in February.
If the amateur rule committee de-
cides to allow Norton to play as an
amateur in 1880 I believe that the
former South African will come pretty
close to winning the national singles
championship.
He has just the game to stop a lot Of
rising young players. Incidentally Nor
ton believes that he will be reinstated
and already has started light training.

Greenleaf came right back with Al,
missing the Six-ball for the corner on
long break shot. Incidentally, that
was the only shot Greenleaf missed on
a called ball during the game. He sur
rendered the table to Rudolph in the
other innings on safetieS, scratches,
miscues and foul. Rudolph'S answer
to Greenleaf's Al was only when he
missed another relatively easy shot.
For the next four innings defense
was in order but in the sixteenth
inning Greenleaf ran IL, when he mis-
cued on the four-ball in trying to get
position for a break. This brought his
total to 102. Rudolph ran IL and
seemed on his way to long run when
he missed his second left-hand shot on
a side rail shot for the corner. His
total then was 81.
Greenleaf came back with two, being
retired when he fouled on the one ball
after pocketing the two. His total then
was 1903. In Rudolph's half he ran two

when he missed cut shot for the side.

Greenleaf of New York again

ist defeated Erwin Rudolph OF
Chicago in the play-off for the world
crown by 125 to 90 in 18 innings. The
game was not spectacular, but was
marked by hard fighting and excellent
defensive work. Both players seemed
to be showing the strain, Greenleaf mis-
cuing twice and making a foul once,
offenses seldom charged against the
headliners. Rudolph also was guilty of
at least four misses on easy shots.
Right from the start it settled down
to a battle of defense. At the end of
nine innings Rudolph was leading, 25

found his stride and, playing deliber-
ately, also rather slowly for Greenleaf,
and with much care, he accumulated
