TWO TEXAS STARS
BATTLE AT OUTSET
English Pair Fall in Upper
Half and All Frenchmen
Are in Lower.
BY J. p. ALLEN.

n YEW YORK, September 3.-"Some
malicious imp Of darkness had
a finger, or a couple of hands
full OF fingers, in this draw for
the jubilee of tennis at Forest Hills"
remarked a close student of the game
to the writer. Scattered through it are
several of the most astounding freaks
that national championship draw has
known in many years.
Perhaps one OF the most obvious and
surprising Is that Berkeley Bell should
drop upon the adjoining bracket to
Wilmer Allison, seeded No. 8 player
Here's the two foremost racke. men OF
the State OF Texas clashing at the start.
1t does appear that the law Of averages
might have worked out a little differ
emily. Bell, of course, was the hero of
the opening Of the tournament at Forest
Hills a year ago when he toppled over
Jean Borotra. I'll admit, however, that
Bell doesn't appear to be primed for
any sensations at this time"
Tough on Invaders.
Another popularity is that with only
two Englishmen entered for the United
States singles title bouts, Frederick j.
Perry and George Patrick Hughes. they
had to fall in the same half. Hughes
is at the bottom of the first quarter
and Perry in the same position in the
second quarter. On the other hand the
French strength is all concentrated in
the lower half in which stand Christian
Boussus and Jacques Brugnon.
BY strange freak Marcel Bernard,
believed to be a French ccmer, Is tossed
against j. Gilbert Hall at the start
hTr
possesses profound knowledge Of how
to conduct tennis match upon WIN
ming basis. The impression prevails
that not much CT M. Bernard will be
seen at Forest Hills. AS one of the criti
cal observes: And he travelled more
than 5000 miles for that"
Another impish pairing is that OF
Jerome Lang and Percy L. Kynaston.
Here's ancient rivalry and all that al
ready written on the records. They are
as familiar to each other as their own
good right hands.
AS has been known for some time. the
experiment of contesting one match at
q time on the stadium court will be in
stituted in the present championship.
In order to avoid unduly lengthy Ses-
Sions there is TO be a secondary. or
grandstand court outside the stadium,
with seats provided for more than a
TO all.
Doeg in Honor Position.
John Hope Doeg, as the champion.
Is to have the post Of honor OF opening
the tournament Saturay on the stadium
court. His opponent Is Keith Werner, a
young Californian, now at Harvard.
This match will start at 1 80.
TIE other matches within the stadium
will Immediately follow in the order
named:
Clifford Suffer VS.. Lester Stoefen.
Frederick j. Perry VS.. Julius Seligson
and r. Norris Williams, 3D. VS.. DR.. Jack
Wright.
Two matches are scheduled for the
grandstand court. The first, at pm,
brings Wilbur F. Cohen, jr., against
Edward w. Feibleman, followed by Ar
mold w. Jones against Bruce Barnes.
Fourteen other matches Of the first
round will be played in two groups be-
ginning. respectively, at 2 and $3.50 pm.
The entire second round will be fought
on Labor day.

Public School Music

A few years ago class piano instruction was introduced in the Chicago public schools The idea was not particularly to make skilled pianists though that has fol- lowed in many cases. A few educators be- lieved that the cultural value of music was as important as that of other subjects taught. They regarded the piano as the background and foundation of all music study.
 In three years 32.000 pupils have been given sound musical foundation in these classes Music schools and private teachers have gained 5000 pupils who became so in- terested in the public school classes that they went on to private study.
 Music instruction in most good public schools nowadays is one of the items of the modern educational program which makes an old-timer wish he could have his school ing all over again. with the present ad- vantages Frills and unwise experiments there may be, but on the other hand there is much good new material or new treatnfent of old material which makes for better educated and happier men and women.
The Waterbury Democrat., 1931-11-23
Self-Insurance For Labor

In England and Germany organized labor is struggling to maintain the dole though it wreck the country. The evil of this plan is seen in the former country by the pro- gressive pauperization of labor and shrink age of capital under heavy taxation. In Germany, where the dole is newer, it is &C., cused of developing hobo mind among workers, resulting in ingenious schemes to prolong idleness.
 It is reassuring to find American labor standing so firmly against the dole. This interpretation is given to the action of the American Federation of Labor. in its recent convention. condemning proposals for na- tional unemployment insurance to which the government would contribute. It prefers to establish its own unemployment insurance.
 Our organized labor insists on standing on its own feet and paying its own way be- cause of its belief that only SO can it main tain wages at high level. Its position is economically sound. if labor is fully organ ized Experience elsewhere is said to show that when contributions to labor are made by employers and government. wages sink &C., cordingly, so that total pay in the long run is no greater.
 There is a, broader principle here. too. What our labor is standing for is the old principle of individualsm, always SO power ful in America. It is well to maintain this ideal as long as possible. because when it wanes personal initiative will wane and in- dependence will fade.
