 BREAK UP TEAM
Tennis Stars Meet Defeat at
 Hands Of Cupid

New York, Oct. 1s (UP) - A preference for matrimony and busi, ness careers evinced recently by some of the countrys leading young tennis stars has left the outlook for regaining the Davis Cup from France even darker than ever.
 And among the youngsters who haven't recently acquired wives and obligations which will keep them from the transforming over a peril cd of months involved in Davis Cup play are several who have expressed determination to abstain from international tennis until conditions change.
 When George Lott, who was No. ? singles player on the 1880 Davis Cup team, eloped with an Abingdon, Pa. debutante he made it practically certain that he would keep his word to withdraw from international play. John Van Ryn, the doubles player, may not allow his marriage to Midge Gladman to interfere with his tennis, but Johnny Doeg, the singles champion. is working on Newark. N.

 Lord Brentford. who was former ly Sir William Joynson Hicks, home secertary in Mir. Baldwin's cabinet, issued statement. criticizing Bald wins proposals as "thinly disguised socialism" The Daily Express, voicing Lord Beaverbrook's views, stated: Tt is only a socialist rab- bit which MT. Baldwin has produced from a Tory hat"
 Orthodox conservative opinion, as expressed by the Post, on the other hand. heartily endorsed the new program as one inspiring hope. The Independent Times commended it, saying that it is consistent, coherent. and inspired by sound judgment of the needs of the situation.
 Further criticism of the progra m Is expected almost immediately from the liberals, who today open their annual party conference at Tor quay, when a re-avowal of their tra- ditional policy of free trade is ex- pected. David Lloyd George, their leader, addresses the party confer ence tomorrow. It is expected that he will tell the country the result of recent conversation with MT. Macdonald regarding unemploy- ment.

despite the elasticity of some of those country club expense accounts.
 Helen Takes Family
 Of course, if you are sufficiently famous, like Helen Wills Moody, you can travel to South America to play exhibition matches and take the family along. Mrs. Moody is report ed to be leaving Friday to play ten his in Buenos Aires, revolutions per hitting. and will be accompanied by her husband and Berkeley Bell, the Texan.
 The Davis Cup situation, however, requires such lot of time and trav- el that the average newlywed prob- ably cannot afford it. To keep up with the team, a player has to start early in the spring in the south-if, indeed, he has not been playing all winter at expensive resorts-and travel up and down the continent meeting the Cubans, the Mexicans for Europe and the interzone test and the Canadians, before heading and challenge round.
 It takes a lot of time and costs a lot of money, and those are a couple of things a young married man might more profitably employ otherwise.
 In addition to Lott, Doeg and Van Ryn, another who may have to be counted out when prospects for 1881 Davis Cup play are considered Is Winner Allison. of the doubles team. Allison is chafing under the present system which permits w. T. Tilden to stroll in and out of the Davis Cup fold pretty much as he pleases, and the Texan may not try for the team next spring. There are others who resent the fact that they may put in six months making the team and then be eased out of the glory of playing in the challenge round be- cause Tilden changes his mind and decides to play.
 Altogether. one wouldn't say that American tennis prospects were get ting any brighter.

BRITISH LEADERS SEE BETTER TIMES
SnOWden and Bennett Predict
 Passing Of Depression

London, Oct. 16 P1Expressions of confidence of two British Empire leaders that the dark days are pass ing and that better times are ahead attracted wide attention today.
 The predictions of improvement in econ omic conditions, made by both Philip Snowden, chancellor of the eXchequer, and R. E. Bennett, Canadian premier, in radio addresses last night were made at about the time of issuance of conservative party platform by Stanley Baldwin in which Mir. Baldwin, after assail- ing the labor administration, pro- posed an emergency tariff on all manufactured goods
 "A hundred years ago things were quite as bad, or worse, than they are today" Mir. Snowden, an ardent free trade advocate, said at a ban quet. But things changed, and the next eighty years marked the great est period of prosperity and the greatest advance in the history of the country.
 Times will change again. Un- doubtedly we are now suffering less than some of the other great indus trial nations of the world During the past six months we have main- tained a larger proportion of our production than Germany or the United States
 Bennett Backs TarifT Plan
 Premier Bennett referred to his plan for empire preferential tariff treatment as a means of closer en- pire economic relations, and warn- ed that if this opportunity for clos CT economic relations is neglected it might not come again. He express ed confidence in the future. although warning that the rules of action that once sufficed, might, in this advanc- ed day, be out of date and the sign post of disaster.
 The chasm separating conserva- tive protectionists and those of the wing of the party still acknowledge ing unquestioned leadership of Stanley Baldwin was further accen- tuated today as study of Mir Bald wins newly enunciated program for the party proceeded.
 The conservative leaders state- ment, after assailing practically every phase of the Macdonald labor government administration, advances as its principal constructive feature a promise of an emergency tariff on all manufactured goods when the party returns to power.
 While frankly protectionist, the statement did not endorse entirely the proposals of Premier Bennett, who asked the imperial conference to approve a preferential tariff scheme whereby all importations from without the British Empire should be taxed at a rate greater than those from within.

GRANT BUILDING
GETS PRAISE OF
LOCAL RESIDENTS

Many compliments have been ex-
pressed since the opening of the
new u. s. Grant Company's build
ing, relative 10 its handsome ap-
pearance and the rapid manner in
which it was erected.
"While the need for speed was
recognized, it was not allowed to
interfere with safety and first class
construction in every detail" said
William Livingston, of the firm of
livingston and Cooper, general con-
tractors for the Firestone Company.
"We took the contract at rather
short notice when the previous con-
tractor was unable to continue and
naturally we feel rather proud of
the good record we made. Despite
the delay due to changing contract
ors, We finished the building in time
for the date set by the Grant Com
pany for opening"
Livingston and Cooper. while
rather new as a building firm in
FL Centre, have been in the valley
for many years, and previous to
forming their partnership they
worked on many buildings in all
parts of the valley.
At present they are engaged in
building a number of private dwell
ings and are figuring on bidding for
other commercial building soon to
be started here.
Lumber used in the building was
furnished by the Sones Lumber
Company, one of the pioneer firms
of the city and a recognized leader
in its lines
/. NJ. Harmon. also among the
newer firms in the city had the elee-
trical contract. The modern equip
ment in the Grant Company's sta
ton called for a large amount of
electrical wiring and fixtures, all of
which were supplied by Harmon
Plumbing in the new building was
installed by the Fite Plumbing Com !.
pany and is thoroughly modern in !
all details.
Oscar Greeley, local plasterer, had /.
The plastering contract.
AS far as possible all materials !
used in the new building were pur
chased locally.
