Club
The restoration of Arlington House,
the only task of its kind undertaken
by the Federal Government itself, Mr..
Chase said, never can be completed, no
matter how much money may be ap-
propriated for it. unless persons pos
seSsing pieces of furniture or other
household effects which formerly were
used in the old residence are presented
by their owners to the Government.
In his talk Mr.. Chase reviewed
briefly the transition of Arlington
House from one of the most handsome
ly appointed residences of Virginia to
the quarters of the superintendent of
Arlington National Cemetery.
Mrs. George Washington Gusts Lee,
mistress of Arlington House, loaded as
many of the treasured household arti-
Giles in carriages as she could, he eX-
planned, for transfer from the mansion
to safety behind the Confederate lines
at the outbreak of the Civil War. Many
articles were left behind to be seized
by various persons, including Union
Soldiers, who came upon the house

SANTIAGO, Chile, (P.-So great Is
the interest here in the study of Eng

La Nacion, has begun radio course
in English for the country.
The paper points out that with the
enormous strides English has made

Chileans have much need of a COM

Chile's long business connections with
England and the United States, the
American talking films and the many

That WORKOUT
Feeling May Be a
Dangerous Sign

If you feel all worn cut in the mid
die of the day, that's natures warn
ing. Heed it! Your system may be
starved for vitaminsl The modern
diet simply doesn't supply enough of
them.
To correct this condition doctors
here are widely prescribing cod liver
oil. But many people can't take it.
The nasty taste gags them. The oil
upsets their stcmachs. And so to
these people we recommend MGCoy's
Cod Liver Oil Tablets.
These amazing little tablets con-
tain all the A and D vitamins and
are equal in every respect to the
liquid cod liver OIL
The Good Housekeeping Institute
has tested these tablets and approved
them. Leading doctors everywhere
now prescribe them. If you would
give your system the vitamins it
needs-just go to your druggist and
ask for a box of McCoys.
Don't wait another minute. Get

Mr.. Chase explained none knows

patriotic women of the South come for

most of them may never find their way

In his conclusion, Mr.. Chase re-

will pass before the restoration will rival

the surface of your racquet
perpendicular to the ground
and to the flight of the on

The object of this is to give
your opponents shot the great
est opportunity Of bouncing
off your racquet directly back
into his court. Imagine, for
example, your opponent play
ing his shots from his base
line against a brick wall which
extends across the length of
the net at the level where you
are playing net.
In a situation like this, he
would have little chance of
winning points. My tip to you
is-make your volley act as
much like a brick wall as pos
sible. After you have arrived
at this stage, practice putting
the body weight behind your
shot and use a little cut.
Punch out your volley, thus
making it harder for your op-
ponent to play his return.
Direction of the Volley is
very important. 1t is controlled
by turning the face of the rae
quet in the direction desired.
It s WiseSt to take your po-
sition at the net only when
you have paved the way with
a strong shot and have your
opponent in a weakened defen-
sive position. Be very careful
not to go in too close as it
leaves you vulnerable to a sur
prise lob.
Combine your net play with
sound, steady ground strokes
and you are on the right track.
