Trip for Christmas Cards
Caution Lacks.

The Christmas greeting card for a
friend in Europe may cross the Atlantic
three times and arrive about Easter
week if it is not addressed properly.
That is why the Post once Depart
ment asks poStmasters to display lists
of changes in European place names,
"A letter addressed to Russia" says
bulletin from the National Geographic
Society, may make a longer journey
than the sender expects.
Sensitive About Name.
1.-THE name may be right, the street
address may be perfectly correct, but
when that letter reaches the border 1t
may be turned back because 1t is ad-
dressed to Russia When this happens
the letter retraces its journey through
Poland and Germany to Hamburg, and
is placed on board steamer for the
United States.
''If the senders name and address
are on the envelope, or in the letter, the
New York dead letter Office will return
it. If the dead letter Office opens the
envelope and finds no more identifi-
cation than Much love and many kisses,
Mary it is resealed, Russia in the ad-
dress crossed out. and the official title
u. S. S. r. substituted. Then the let
ter starts another Atlantic voyage.
THE U. S. S. r. (or u. r. S. s., the
Union of Socialist Soviet Republics, Is
very particular about its name and has
long threatened to turn back mail ad-
dressed to its imperial predecessor, Rus
sia. Turkey is equally punctilious about
spelling. Since the Turkish govern
ment expects its people to learn a
whole new alphabet, it seems to con-
slider that the least aliens can do Is
to learn to spell rightly the names Of
the Turkish cities.
Now 1t Is "Istanbul."
"A letter addressed to Constantinople
may suffer the same fate that threatens
q letter addressed to Russia. Istanbul
Is the proper name and Turkey now
insists that the whole ' orld use it.
1.-THE new countries and governments
OF Europe arose from the wave of ma
tionalism that followed the World War.
One method of EXPRESSING nationalism
was the revival Of native names, or,
in the case of the, United States of the
Soviet Republic, the suppression of
names with Is rist connotations.

world to follow their new labels. There

Manx Herring in Danger.

The government of the Isle of Man

Richardson Leads New
Shelters First Shoot

3 The Brownsville Skeet and Gun
club got off to a good start in its
opening shoot Wednesday afternoon
when the field was led by the fast
firing Harry Richardson, who broke
"a out Of a possible 25 birds. He
was closely followed by d.. Isaman
and Jimmy George, each of whom
~pulverized % sailing clay targets.
r. D. Seago, who recently returned
from a vacation in the Great Lakes
region, had his eye on the pigeons,
breaking %. Jimmy George accom-
plished the same feat.
This was the first shoot conduct
ed by the newly formed club. It's
range is located between the Los
Fresnos and old Point Isabel roads
just to the rear of the Buena Vista
cemetery. The best way to arrive
at the clubs grounds is by the old
Point road, from which the range
is visible.
Several innovations have been
adopted by the club. The shoots
are conducted in >111ads of five.
This makes for faster rounds and
eliminates the long waits, F. B. Arm
strong, temporary head, says. The
rounds took from II to 10 minutes

colored bird is thrown from the
traps. Unexpectedly. If the gunner
breaks it, he is given his targets

design, consigns her complexion to
the care Of the sun and adheres
rigidly to the visored shield, which
she p~opularized.
Now the uniform de rigeur is a
one piece dress brief enough to
give the knees freedom, loose
enough to leave the arms unham-
pered and ending abruptly at the
shoulders. Some of the more hardy
have adopted the 'sunback" model.
So far Wimbledon has been
spared the stockingless fad which,
the young ladies insist, is not so
much a fad as a downright conven-
fence. But other famous clubs have
permitted the competitors to Sc
lect their own apparel.
The men have not Jared so well.
Custom still requires white flannels
and shirts with sleeves. Last year
a mild furore was created by the
appearance Of John Hennessey in
a pair Of striped trousers. But no
traditions were shattered, for the
good natured American ambled
down to Bond street and outfitted
himself with Stacks" of pristine
elegance.
Now, though, there is a move
ment on foot to permit the mascu-
line element to appear in shorts.
What the fades will do in rebuttaI

WIMBLEDON, Eng, July 10.-(R
These famous courts, ancient
even when blushing bellies bundled
in long skirts patted a gentle game,
have had a rude awakening.
The modern stars play a differ
ent game and dress a decidedly diff
ferent game. Gone are the swath-
ing costumes which covered the
shoe tips and anchored the players.
Gone are the leg o'mutton sleeves;
gone are the sleeves altogether and
almost gone are the skirts.
The clothes worn by the modern
stars weigh no more than their
rackets. And the smashing drives
they skim across the net would
have sent screaming from the court
the lady players Of a generation
ago.
Suzanne Leng1en ushered in a
new dynasty of hard hitting, free
moving women stars but even the
days of the temperamental French
woman seem far removed. Helen
Wills succeeded and the California
girl brought her own ideas Of swat
and several new ideas of costume.
Lenglen wore the shortest dresses
seen on the courts but la Suzanne
thought a great deal of her COM
plexion and her gay headdresses
were entirety feminine. Miss Wills
