 Tennis Costume of Helen Wills
Tennis Star Leads Group of American Women to Be Presented to Queen Mary.

London, May ! R-Helen Wills, American tennis queen. in silken train and plumes, will curtsey to- night before Queen Mary in the first presentation of the season at the Court of St. James's.
 Partaking in this evenings pres entation also will be seven other Americans. As many again from the United States will be presented Queen Mary in the second court to be held tomorrow night at Buckiny- ham Palace.
 It was day of thrills and. anti cipation for those so honored. with crowded hours of rush. hurry and finally tedious waiting. Visits to the hairdresser, practice of the all most forgotten art of the curtesy and being photographed were just parts of the preparation. Little Poker Face" stood small chance ot her daily practice at tennis.
 There is at the end of it all though. 30 seconds of splendOr, the half minute involved in the short trip across the throne room to where England's queen will sit alone on the imperial dais. the Prince of Wales and other members of the royal family ranged behind her. There, in front of the queen the brief curtsey will be made. and the fortunate ones half-minute of glitter in the courtly constellation finished.

ENTERS HALL OF FAME
Carl Hubbell, Slender Moundsmail of Hardly Years EAperfcnCc, Pitches No.Hit Game.

Pitches No.Hit Game.
 New York. May 3 (UP)-Another name has been added to baseball's list of mound heros--that of Carl Hubbell. slender left handler of hardly a years experience in the major leagues, who yesterday pitch ed a no hit no run game against the Pittsburgh Pirates.
 Hubbell, one of the New York Giants leading hurlers.. allowed only one man to reach first through his own efforts, although three others reached the base through Giant er- TOTS. He walked Adams.
 He is the first major league pitcher to accomplish the feat since Aug. 2. 1926. when Ted Lyons of the Chicago White Sox held the Boston Red Box hitless.
 Dazzy Vance. who held the Phil lies hitless on Sept. IS. 1925. was the last National leaguer to turn the trick. The Phils scored one run in that game.
 Hubbell is es years old and was born at Carthage. Okla. His pres ent home is Meeker. in the same state. He stands six feet tall and weighs ITO pounds. He came to the Giants from Beaumont of the Texas league.

well house. at Bognor, where he is recuperating. Thus for the first time. Queen Mary will occupy the throne alone.
 Perhaps the most difficult part Of the presentation will come with the period of waiting which intervenes from the time the palace gates are opened at S:30 until the turn of each to enter the throne room arrives. Most of those to be presented plan ned to send the time, sometimes as much as two hours. behind the drawn curtains of their limousines playing bridge or reading. The long queue of automobiles will form on the Mall outside the palace.
 In the clothes to be worn at the presentation there are two notable departures. The traditional white has been abandoned in some in- stances for pastel shades, while there are to be fewer flowers and more lans.
 The Americans to be presented are: tonight. Helen Wills, Califor- ma; Elizabeth Bchn. New York; Alice Coonley, Illinois: Lillian Elm ,rson, North Carolina; Mrs. Albert Halsted, Ohio; Jocelyn PierSon. of Maryland: Harriet Walker, friend of Miss Wills. California, and Vir- ginia Willys, New York.
 l. Tomorrow night: Mrs. George Barnett. Virginia; Miss Mollie Gull lum. Pennsylvania: Mrs. Paul Gren- ing. California;; Mrs. George Law renee, Jr., New York: Margaret Me- Kittrick. Missouri; Catherine Nor cross, Georgia; Margaret Tyner, H. linois; and Adeline Winston, Georgia. Among the British women to be in- troduccd tomorrow is another tennis player Eileen Bennett, young British champion.
 Mrs. Ray Atherton. wife of the American charge d'affaires, will sponsor The American presentations.
 After having her hair carefully dressed in the morning Miss Wills dressed this afternoon in her court gown and prepared to motor to Buckingham palace, where she will wait for three hours for the gates to open at S:So. Miss Wills will be &C., companied by Miss Harriet Walker.

FRANKLIN SQUARE
 BATTLE RENEWED
Ordinance Restricting Gl St. tolE Blck to Common Council

rakinra somewhat different form. but involving exactly the same prin- ciples, the Franklin Square gasoline filling station dispute has been re- turned to the common council, this time to be decided on the general yulins n to whether the present or dinance restricting this type of building out of industrial areas should be changed or be allowed to stand.
 Attorney Donald Gaffney argued for the change at last nights meet inx of the board of adjustment. It was pointed out that the zoning or dinancea originally included his plan and 1t has been claimed that the change was effected to prevent ths Standard Oil Co. from building sta tion at the corner Of Frahkih Square and Pearl streets.
 Churches in Opposition
 An effort to bring about adjust ment board action which would per- init . gasoline filling station to De established at that corner brought united opposition from property owners and the parishioners of near by churches, and the petition was denied. Some time later. the zone vas changed to forestall another at- tempt but it was found that the new zone permits lunch wagons. John J. Dillon of Waterbury leased the property and took permit for such . wagon. but since it was conditional grant. he hesitated to so to expense and face the possibility of being iegislated out of business by later ordinances. He has abandoned his plan and now asks return of his permit fee.
 The ordinance change voted last night came to the common council two months ago and was referred to the board of adjustment for action. It was laid over at previous meet irg, and last night was approved with little discussion.
 If the common council accepts the recommendation of the board of ad- justment, the building inspector will be compelled to give permit.

Acidity.

The common cause of digestive diff
culties is excess acid. Soda cannot
alter this condition, and it burns the
stomach. Something that will neu.
tralize the acidity is the sensible
thing to take. That is why physicians
tell the public to use Phillips Milk of
Magnesia.
One spoonful of this delightful prep.
aration can neutralize many times its
volume in acid. 1t acts instantly; re-
lief is quick, and very apparent. All
gas is dispelled; all sourness is sooD
gone; the whole system is sweetened.
Do try this perfect anti-acid, and re-
member it is just as good for children,
too, and pleasant for them to take.
Any drug store has the genuine, pre-
scriptional product.

First Sailboats

The paintings and sculptures In the
early records Of Egypt show regularly
formed boats constructed Of sawed
planks of timber propelled by numer-
GUS rowers and also by sails. These
vessels were long galleys with one
mast and large square sail which
was sometimes of linen and sometimes
of papyrus. The Oldest authentic rec
ord as to these sailing vessels Is the
illustration of one of them used as a
decoration OF an Egyptian amphora
lin the British museum), judged to
have been made about 5000 B. Q. II
is noted, however, that these boats
could sail only with the wind. The
science of sailing against the wind
was unknown for thousands of years.
They sailed only when the wind was
favorable. The oarsmen worked when
the winds were unfavorable.
