NEW YORK, Aug. 12.-(R-He-
len Wills. herself for six years the
girl wonder" of women's tennis.
now at "a faces the challenge Of a
more youthful rival for the first
time since she became queen Of the
courts.
Two years ago at Forest Hills,
Betty Nuthall. then is. revealed a
flash Of youthful ability in the fl
nal of the American championships
against Miss Wills. Afterward the
champion predicted a bright flu
ture" for her English opponent.
Next week the American girl will
defend her national championship
with Miss Nuthall the outstanding
contended as a result Of the uneX-
pectedly close match they waged in
the deciding Wightman cup con-
test Saturday on the West Side
tennis clubs classic turf.
The extent to which Miss Wills.
after three straight years OF irwin
cihilitv was pushed to beat back 49,
vear-old Betty by scores Of 8-6, 8-6,
has altered the prospect OF the
championship singles tournament.
Miss Nuthall came so near to
closing the gap that has for so long
separated the game Of the Amer
lean with that OF any rival that,
given another opportunity, her i'm
petus may achieve the seemingly
impoSsible-victory.
In the aftermath Of the Will
Nuthall match the debate concerns
whether Helen has slipped a bit,
her game perhaps a trifle stale af-
ter her campaign abroad this year,
or whether Betty has 70 far i'm
proved as TO lift her game as close
to the champions level as the
scores indicated.
The probability is that both cir
cumstances r true.

FREIGHT BILL

Striking evidence of the heavy
demands made annually on the rail-
roads by automobile manufacturers
came to light yesterday with the
announcement of C. r. Scharff, gem
eral traffic director Of Chevrolet
Motor Company, that the company's
freight bill for 1928, representing
inbound and outbound shipments
for 16 domestic plants. totalled
more than $46,0O0,O0O. This was
an increase Of more than $11 ,000,000
over the 1927 bill.
In making the announcement,
scharff revealed that the 1928 bill
covered the movement Of 272, 1853
carloads of freight, totalling 7,96S,.
,324 pounds. Exclusive of this
poundage Scharff damlsred there
was an additional 221, ,4O3. .427 pounds
OF less than carload freight, 4,767,-
7S3 pounds shipped by express and
331, ,040 driveways.
These figures show the immense
increase in the company's business.
Last year the company manufac-
tured the unprecedented volume of
100000 automobiles. This year
will see an output realized of ,350,-
600. These figures indicate that
the automobile manufacturers are
among the railroads best customers.
Scharff complimented the rail-
roads on their splendid cooperation
and constantly increasing efficiency.

cars are being manufactured, al
though the plant has been onerat-

Ordinarily the sale Of cars does
not catch up with manufacturing

Hudson-Essex anticipated this date
by about three weeks. In the

CAS- TAXES NOW
BUY GOOD
ROADS
BY e. r.. DUFFY

although gasoline taxes varying
from two to six cents are now col
lected in all but two States, the
motorist Of today is paying less fer
fuel than he did nine years ago.
Then, when he purchased gaso'
line he got gasoline only; today he,
gets q. full measure Of gasoline and
in addition he buys good roads.
Three Cent Tax on Coast
California has Scent tax, yet
there the gasoline prices of 23h
cents lis one.half cent less than in
1920.
Gasoline-tax money has been
largely responsible for roads i'm
proved beyond the graded and
drained and graveled stages. The
Importance Of the gas tax Is pic
tured, for example, in the pavement
achievement of 1928. Altogether.
American motorists last year con-
tributed $2S2,000,00 to State and
county highway departments through
the medium Of the gas tax. During
that same period approximately
$500, 100000 worth of first-class
pavements were built.
Bond Issues Aid
All gasoline-tax money, Of course.
does not go directly to pavement
construction. However. most all
Improvement programs are de-
pendent in one way or another on
funds derived from this source. For
instance, three States last fall
adopted highway-bond issues total
ing $140 900, the retirement of
gas-tax income.
The gasoline tax has become in
creasingly popular of late as a
means for obtaining much-needed
road funds. The Oregon experiment
in 1919 has resulted in the adoption
Of this form of taxation by all
States, for New Yorkers are to pay
q 2-cent tax after April 80.
Gasoline-tax rates have never
been lessened-rather the tendency
Is to increase them. Many tax rates
have been adopted with the proviso
that the tax would be lowered or
dropped entirely when roads were
improved to q point where such a
tax was no longer needed.
With automobile usage increasing
rapidly, no State is within shouting
distance of such action.
Motorists will continue to pay this
tax for some time to come, but
with the comforting knowledge that
they are avoiding a much more
costly bad roads impost.

COMMUNITY CHEST
OPENS OFFICIALLY
New Order Begins in Wash
ington's PhiIanthropic and
Charitable Activities.

Today marks the beginning of new
order for the philanthropic and charit-
able activities of this city as a result of
the formal opening of Washington's s
Community Chest as the organized
clearing house for all charity work in
the National Capital.
Announcement of the official opening
of the Community Chest activity was
made today in statement by Frederic
A. Delano, president of The organiza-
ton.
From this date" said Mr.. Delano,
'ail the various kinds of social service
rendered to people in need by the 81
agencies now embraced in the Com
munity Chest will be financed from the
one central source to be supplied in one
annual city-wide appeal to the citizens
of Washington.
mo longer will tickets for charity
balls and benefit entertainments be
peddled about the city to raise funds for
particular hospitals or other welfare
organizations. No longer will the daily
mails be filled with begging letters from
agencies of all sorts asking for help to
carry on their particular services.
But also no longer will the officers
of worthy charitable agencies have to
worry about how to raise the funds
with which TO meet their obIlgationS TO
their clients. Nor will there be in
future any excuse for the duplication
and overlapping of the different kinds
of service.
For from this time forth Washing
ton Is to have in operation central
responsible body of its citizens holding
the reins for the financing Of the
various charitable agencies and help
ing them to work together in greater
efficiency and harmony for the welfare
of the whole community.
Therefore, can We say truly this
New Year day that Washington is find
ing herself and facing her social service
responsibilities in the better way which
has been found to work well in over
500 other cities. Our newly organized
Community Chest is now right on the
Threshold of it's first city-wide cam
paign to raise the large fund neces-
sary to finance the 81 member agencies.
A large number of volunteer workers
will be enlisted in this campaign, from
January % to February 6, and we con-
fidently expect that the public will rise
to the occasion by responding with
contributions scheduled for the entire
year and representing the fair share Of
each in this common endeavor to pro-
vide adequately and effectively for all
those in our midst who may be in need
of relief or care"

streets of Nashville causes no more at
tention than the same sight would in
Berlin or Paris.
Not only has Mr. Frank completed his
plans for opening of the school in Feb
ruary, but he has arranged for Mrs.
EuStis to come to Nashville to advise on
the permanent establishment of the
kennels. Mrs. Eustis thought SO well of
the work that she has come from Swift
zerland and brought three additional
dogs with her.
Although those interested in the
project are determined to make the See
ing Eye kennels and school the equal of
the European institutions, they have
stated that dogs to be trained will con-
tinue to be imported for short time
only, as this would make the price of
the animals out of reach of many of
those who need them.
The kennels plan to raise their own
dogs for training, using the imported
dogs for breeding purposes.
Trainer Is Obtained.
An experienced trainer has been OBJ
tained for the school, Jack Humphreys,
for several years trainer at Fortunate
Fields, and he will take charge of the
training of both the blind persons and
the dogs.
Three weeks are required to train
the dogs for their duties, and an addi-
tional three weeks are necessary to in
Struct the masters. This training will
be done at the kennels under direction
OF MIR. Humphreys, and at the compile
ton of the course the dog is ready to
be turned loose with its master.
ha ~
masters, these animals also are their
guardians. Instinctively they seem to
sense any contemplated ocert act. They
are likewise 'one-man" dogs, and, hav-
ing become attached to their ultimate
masters, will serve no other. They
quickly learn their masters habits, his
desires and his dislikes.
Proceed at Brisk Pace.
When leading their blind masters.
the dogs proceed at a brisk walk, so
that when they slacken pace for OBJ
stacles the person being led feels the
signal through the rigid handle Of q
stiff harness which the dogs wear. At
curbs the dogs pull back and stand
while waiting for traffic.
At all times, Mr.. Frank says, the
dogs are muzzled. They also are i'm
munized against rabies. OF the 5000
dogs that have led German war vet
Grams only have been declared re-
Sponsible for accidents. it Is claimed.
Like the Mount Pelerin School. the
Nashville institution will be an endowed
charitable, -proflt-making institu-
ton. No fixed price will be set on the
dogs, though in most cases the training
and cost of the dog will range from
$3.50 to 5000, 1t is thought.

MOUTHS ACTIVE $50 YEARS
DO NOT DIE OF OLD AGE
Plant and Tree Cells Explained to
Scientists by DR.. D. T.
MacDougall.

NEW YORK, January 1 (P).-Plant
mouths that live for nearly $50 years,
almost ceaselessly active, and that even
then do not die of old age were de-
scribed to the American Association for
the Advancement of Science by DR.. D.
T. MacDougall of Carnegie Institution
Of Washington
These mouths constitute one Of several
varieties of plant and tree cells that DR..
MacDougall described as living for
extraordinarily long periods. OF them
all. he said that mouths are the most
amazing" They draw into plants food
elements from the air and exhale what
the plant does not use. Dr. MacDougall
found the long-lived ones in Palo Verde
trees. Notwithstanding their almost
ceaseless activity, he said they do not
stop Of themselves, but only when sup
porting parts of the leaves die.
