Married Women Champs

Eileen Bennett cannot understand why criticism should be leveled at matrimony as destroyer of ten his form" unless it is perhaps be- cause marriage gets so many kicks and knocks and is held responsible for all kinds of disasters and disap- pointments anyhow. But since her own marriage, she has had to lis ten to so much talk and criticism of marriage as foe to champion ship tennis that she could hardly wait till this years meeting at Wimbledon to frustrate the knock CTS with the performance of Mrs. Moody and other married players. One of the most successful of these players was Rene Matthieu who is regarded as the best woman tennis player in France today. She was married when she won the girls championship for girls under 1a, and her tiny baby was a spectator if only a disinterested one, at that event
 This year Madame Matthieu fought her way to the semi-finals in the doubles play.
 There are many other married women tennis champions to uphold the statements of Eileen Bennett anent tennis and matrimony. Mrs. Molla Mallory, Mrs. May Sutton Bundy, who last year staged a brilliant come back; Mrs. Kitty. McKane Godfree, regarded as one of the worlds greatest players, and Eileen Bennett herself, who gave a brilliant performance at Wimbledon this year.
 In Perfect Harmony
 Although Helen Wills Moody con- fided that she was terribly home sic kfor home and hubby, she did not allow her personal feelings to interfere with her announced in- tention of upholding the honor and glory of her country on the tennis courts. And veterans at Wimbledon say that they have never seen finer playing than that of the fair Helen from the first game right up to the finals in the meeting that marked her debut as married woman player. And best of all the husbands of the lady tennis cham pions are one and all in complete sympathy with the achievements of their mates in the field of ath- letics. And so as matrimony does not seem to interfere with tennis, neith- CT does tennis seem to harm or in- terfere with matrimony, according to the concensus of opinion, of not only the players themselves. but of their husbands; who after all should be the best judges of the matter.

TIgee RaiI Lines Enough for U. s.
 Says Atterbury

NEW YORK, March 28.-Rail- roads will spend $10,000, 100000 in the next ten years, Gen. w. w. Atterbury, president of the Pennsyl- vania system, declares in the new American Magazine. One billion of this will be spent this year.
 American railroading is obsolete, he adds, and mergers henceforth will solve the transportation prob lem. He advocates three systems operating in the East, West and South.
 Atterbury would dismantle com- peting lines and make them motor highways for freight transportation He emphasizes the efforts made by railroads to alleviate transportation problems by adding trucks and busses to their systems for small cities. These, he. adds, may be palatial vehicles. "Airplanes, he says, will supplant both busses and trains for fast, long distance travel"

U. s. EXPERTS TO INVESTIGATE
 COFFEY-HUMBER CANCER GERM
By HOWARD w. BLAKESLEE
 GA. P. Science Editor)

NEWARK, N. J.. March 28.- Plans for leading American cancer experts to investigate the new cancer serum at San Francisco have been announced to the Academy of Medicine of Northern New Jer- i lsey
 To inform the public quickly is the purpose, Dr. Joseph Colt Blood- good of Johns Hopkins University told the physicians. At the same time he appealed for some author itative body of cancer students and scientists to deal with cancer cures announced by the daily press so frequently and in such an opti- mistic way that it reached thou sands of people dying of cancer and raises false hopes of cure"
 The invitation to investigate, he said, came from pr. Coffey and Dr. Humber, discoverers of the San Francisco serum.
 "Dr. Coffcy and ,Dr. Humber he said, describing the testimony on ] cancer given to a United States Senate subcommittee recently, "re- peatedly stated before this com mittee that in their opinion these injections of an extract of the ad- renal glands could not be con- sidered a cure for cancer, or, as both stated, even a treatment of cancer It was as yet purely an ex- pertinent.
 They felt they were justified in experimenting with hopeless cases. In spite of their frequent state ments that their work was entirely experimental. hundreds of people rushed to California.
 Tt is very important to state here that if the Randsdell and Jones' Parker bills and the Harris resolution had been passed by Con- gress there would have been an authoritative body to deal with this situation, to send to California can- cer students to investigate and an- nounce whether it was even jus tifiable for any one with incurable cancer to take the trip to Califor- nia
 "Dr. Coffey and Dr. Humber have asked for a special committee of cancer students to investigate and they were willing to abide by the decision of such a committee.
 William w. Buffum. genera l manager of the Chemical Founda- tion has already offered financial aid for such a commission and it is hoped that other foundations inter ested in cancer and cancer research institutions will offer sufficient funds to allow representatives to go to California and make this in- vestigation"

FAVOR REMAINING. PEAK IN HONOR. OF COL. E|ELS0N
Senator Nye Receives Two Endorsements from
 Cabinet Officers

WASHINGTON, March 28.-Iwc Cabinet officials have endorsed the proposal to rename Copper Noun tain, in Alaska, to Eielson Noun tain.
 Senator Gerald P Nye, of North Dakota, said he had received let ters from Secretary of Interior Will bur and from Assistant Secretary of Commerce Young, acting for Secretary Lamont, hoping that his resolution would be adopted.
 Assistant Secretary Young wrote that the people of Fairbanks" were in favor of the remaining of the mountain.
 Senator Nye said he would press action on the resolution as soon as the Senate reconvened.
 Secretary Wilbur enclosed mem orandum in his letter from Horace Albright, Director of National Parks, which said: "The name of Copper Mountain, in the Mt. Mo Kinley National Park, is found on few maps because there has been only a slight trace of copper de- posits found and the mountains present name is of little signific- ance. The late Col. Carl Ben Eiel- son landed the first airplane in Mt. Mckinley National Park and I believe the remaining of the peak to Mount Eielson will be fitting tribute to the aviators outstanding character"
