CANADA PUSHES U. S.
 IN GOLD PRODUCTION

Washington.-Canada gradually is drawing close to the United States in the race for the position of second highest gold-producing country in the world, reports to the department of commerce have re- vealed. "
 Final revised Canadian figures forwarded to the department by Consul Jesse B. Jackson at Fort Williams. Ontario, indicate that the record output during the past year amounted to 2.012,068 fine ounces of gold. Gold production in this country during 1930, according to preliminary figures, amounted to 2.232.593 fine ounces, the second largest output in the world.
 The largest gold producing area still centers around the .Transvaal. Cape Colony and Natal districts in Africa. Last year 10,716,351 fine ounces were produced in this re- zion.
 According to information from Canada, the pronounced activity in Canadian gold mining and pros- pecting has recently been stimu- lated by an almost general reduc-

New York.--Life Is like that! |. but it's also like this:
 It was mid-afternoon on the Times Square subway platform Through the crowd hobbled one oi those feeble old women, from the tenements of the East Side, who drift over to the Broadway sector to make few pennies. Her head was wrapped in a venerable sha WI after the fashion of the peasant women of the ghetto. Her shoes were worn almost to tatters.
 She carried under her arm Q bundle. At first 1t seemed to con- tain pink editions of an afternoon newspaper. But as she came closer, mumbling in some foreign tongue, she flashed Q placard, just as the London vendors do. And in letters five inches high, 1 read--"Red Hot Songs .. 100 of the Hottest

 I drifted over to the restaurant that has become the rendezvous for Broadwayites. Here gather movie folk, stage folk, managers, song writers, playwrights, hangers-on. trade magazine gents and fan mag azine girlies.
 On the walls are cartoons of gents and ladies everyone has heard of; with twice as many pie lures of folk that no one has ever tieth street nor ever will.
 This is the sort of place where the illusion of importance is born gag. Here gathers a world of syco- phants and idols; of real folk and phoneys; where bubble regulations are made for few dozen big-town provincials; where the unimportant become important and where Broadway values are set.
 The food is excellent; the crowd is generally amusing and chummy and it's all part of the midtown racket.
 At any rate, I dropped in there ana Tell tO LdlklHB Wltn tne Hdt check girl, who has become one Of the streets varied Characters" fell to talking with fellow col umn- spinner and some assorted newspapermen.
 When, looking up, I noticed one of the biggest league newspaper men in all the United States din- ing with his wife, in a corner. Mo- body had noticed him. Nobody seemed to know who he was. That's the way 1t is in the midtown belt; they seldom know the really im- portant and big people. And this particular gent happened to be one of the four or five outstanding fig ures in national journalism.
 I walked over, chatted with him for 6 moment. Returned to my chair. He rose, bowed and left. On my way out, I addressed myself to hat check girl who knows "all the celebrities':

 Louis xI, Louis XIV, and Fran cis I are among the other French kings who played court tennis Henry VIII was one of the English monarchs who followed the game.
 Tn the year 1908 four stude nts at oxford were arrested and forc- ed to pay fines because they had been caught playing tennis. In early times, kings did not want their subjects to take part in the sport.
 Modern lawn tennis" grew out of the old court tennis game. An Englishman obtained & patent about 60 years ago for what he called new game, the game Of lawn tennis. The rules were sim liar to those of court tennis. but the new game was to be played outdoors-"on the lawn"
 Since that time lawn tennis clubs have been organized in al- most every part of the world. and championship matches attract thousands of persons who pay to watch skillful players contend with one another. Big Bilr' Tilden is one of the modern heroes of the sport.

The story of tennis stretches back hundreds of years. Efforts have been made to trace 1t to the days of ancient Egypt: and 1t is certain that olden Egyptians and Greeks played games in which balls were struck with racquets or bats. Ancient games were probably very different, however, form the mod ern game of tennis; and we are safet in following tennis history only six or seven centuries back.
 A game known as "court tennis" was played in Italy and France as early as the year 1922. Court ten- his was played within the walls of castle courtyards.
