Another pet gamble in Macao
is the lottery-or rather the

Now, this is undeniably corSetieSS age. But
the lady was wearing formidable pair of cor

to her slight figure.
So despite the woman's protests she was

highway trafRc entering the United States Is
handled at the Peace Bridge at Buffalo. This
structure is " miles long and at the present
time over 10000 automobiles use 1t daily. More
than 5000 automobiles, carrying upward Of
10000 passengers daily require customs exam
fnation.
To handle this gigantic task the Customs
Service has stationed at the American end Of
Peace Bridge q force Of thoroughly trained In
spectorS sufficient to handle peak load OF 800
motor vehicles per hour.
Nov, word as to how automobiles are in
spected when they report at q customs port
of entry along the border. American tourists
with automobiles going into Canada or Mexico
need feel no apprehension over the customs
requirements to be met upon returning to the
United States. They are required by law, how
ever, to report to the customs officer nearest
their point Of crossing the international
boundary.
When entering the United States from Canada
or Mexico the traveller is only required to pro-
duce his home State automobile registration
card. If the car Is Of American manufacture
and is brought back by the same person who
took 1t out Of the country, then no further re-
QuirementS are necessary.
Naturally the customs inspectors at Buffalo
with Its tremendous dow Of incoming trafHc
from Canada, have had to devise an efdcient
and quick method Of inspection. Thus every
car In each lane Is directed past an inspection
booth where 1t is inspected inside and out. II
no contraband is found, or no further examina-
ton is deemed necessary. the vehicle Is passed
through quickly.
However, IN those cases where the presence
Of contraband Is suspected, or where unusual
equipment is noticed. such cars are sent to the
central point Of inspection and are driven over
mirrors or re6ect0rs, which clearly reveal every
mechanical feature underneath the car.
Oftentimes false compartments Of ingenious
design-fake gasoline tanks and the 1ike-aHe

containing q dozen or 30 bottles Of hqRor.

~ PHILADELPHIA, May 17.--Amer-

quer the tennis world is off to
flying start, with Canada al
ready vanquished and Mexico just
ahead.
Having clinched the opening contest
with Canada yesterday through three
straight victories, the youthful Ameri-
can players believe they have cleared
the hardest hurdle on this side of the
Atlantic. Mexico is not considered
quite as strong as Canada, and the
United States will be heavy fayorite
when they meet in the American zone
final at Washington next Thursday,
Friday and Saturday.
If successful there the Americans will
sail soon afterward to play the Euro
pean zone winner-probably England.

to meet the French in the challenge

men played i'll. Some played very
well. But however they had played
they never could have stood against
such a combined attack.
Nobody has profounder admiration
for American golfers than I, but ]
never thought they could play as well
as they did yesterday. All matches
were important. for on any one of them
might have depended the issue OF the
day.
But there was only one that I be-
lieve I wanted to see, and that was
Bobby Jones against Roger Wethered.
l can't say that any one expected
Wethered to win. But if there was any
man who could produce the kind OF
golf to hold Bobby, we thought he was
the one.
OF course, everything had to go right
for us If he was to do 1t. And above
everything else his driving. which is
his heel of Achilles, had to hold out.
1t did not hold out. Wethered had a
fit Of hooking, and to go into the rough
against Bobby is to lose hole.
1t must be admitted, however, that
Wethered was sorely tried. Up to the
turn he was fully holding his own.
Bobby then let loose one devastating
thrust, stroke of overwhelming genius,
when from a badly hooked drive TO the
second hole he laid pitch and run
dead from heavy grass and stone.
Otherwise he was not quite at his best.

it is hard to figure the Stenogs as

putting better and taking advantage of
the breaks "a thing he usually does)
there might have been a different story.
The eighth and twelfth holes of the
final were the turning points of the
match, for over the first nine both men
played indifferent golf with both max
ing errors on the putting greens and
with STEVENSON all set to square the
match at the eighth, after missing a
short putt on the seventh green which
put him l down. But here he tried to
play his pitch shot too fine, and in
stead of winning the hole, he lost 1t
to Pitts 6 after the District champion
had dumped his third shot in a bunker,
and then took to get down from
the edge of the green.
Who has ever seen Miller STEVENSON
miss three puts in row of less than
feet in match that meant any
thing? That Is exactly what happened
yesterday in that final round at Chevy
Chase. At the seventh he missed s.
footer to halve; at the eighth he blew
a 4-footer for half, and at the ninth,
on level green, he missed another
3-footer to win after Pitt had missed
one of feet.
The net result of that poorly played
f1rst nine was that Pitt turned up on
Stevenson, and they halved the tenth in
IS, with STEVENSON canning an Shooter
for the half. They both holed ~
footers for As at the eleventh, but then
Pitt had all the advantage of the breaks
on that hole. For who can beat the
combination of a four-leafed clover and
a pretty girl. Walking down that fair
way Mrs. Marguerite Putnam of the
Manor Club spied four-leafed clover
and gave it to Pitt, with the remark:
you can't lose now, Harry"
The twelfth hole gave STEVENSON a
look-in until that clover got in its
deadly Work. For Pitt put his second
shot over the green and had an almost
impossible approach over hillock to
green sloping away from him. He
played the shot with such finesse that 1t
barely rolled over the hill and into the
cup for winning birdie 3. Then he
won the thirteenth with a 10-foot putt
and was up and. s. to 60. That

for his side getting a draw. He APP
