Ellsworth Vines Has Healthy
Respect for Lanky Sierra
Tennis Star
By NEA Service)

When big. blond Lester Stoefen. the
Sierra Seeker, blasted Wilmer AL

Bermuda Lawn Tennis championships
1t demonstrated that Ellsworth Vines
knew what he was talking about when
he said Les would be the next singles
tennis champion OF the United States
His victory also gave him an in.
side track on Davis Cup selections
this year. and his choice BY the
tennis fathers, for at least the al.
ternate post, will be the first ster
toward infusion OF young blood into
the ranks Of the veterans who flopped
80 ungracefully in 1893.
Stoefen has been coming up in
leaps and bounds. The giant racquet
wielder from Los Angeles has climbed
the amateur ladder faster than any
other player In the last three years
In 1881 he was rated in 18th position
The following year he jumped to sixth
spot. and when selections were made

What's the secret of his phenomenal
climb? To be brief, it's his service.
Ellsworth Vines, just before he turn

about that service. Following is part
Of what he said:
Les, when he's right. can beat any
player In the world respect him
more than anyone when he is right
mainly because Of his service.
The service In tennis has two func-
tions: It puts the ball into play and
1t can be used to place the receiver at
disadvantage. Good placement or
dazzling speed may accomplish this.
"Stoefen has the speed. When
In form he gets more behind a ball
than anyone of our time. He
strikes the ball when it is II feet

cannon-like speed and momentum
that 1t Is next to impossible to re-
turn 1t with any degree of accuracy
He has you at his mercy. and you
realize that he can win his service

While nemesis Is thus pursuing the
victim, let us look into that worthy
sap's mind, and find out, If possible,
what Is going on there.
II we can achieve this, the result
may 60 q long way toward inducing
some proprietor or other to work a re-
form in the New Year.
If we cannot, well, things viii be as
they always have been, mops will come
poking out at the most unexpected
places, and times, and even when
floors look apparently immaculate.
In the mind of the man who abhors
this process lies the belief that one
ought to be permitted to drink his cof-
fee, or whatnot, in a peace as near per-
feet as possible.
He dislikes, for instance, q too dark
or too light room.
The former makes 1t unpleasant and
exercises a depressing effect.
The latter makes the place too pub

He dislikes a window up, especially
high one, so that draft is thrown
on the back of the neck.
He dislikes-but what's the use?
Who cares what he dislikes?
Certainly not proprietors.

What he dislikes above everything,
however, is the mop, the completely
unnecessary, horribly sanitary mop.
The few germs on the floor ought
not to be stirred up.

Leave an oasis of dryness, please,

If the tiles simply must be wet

done with caution.
1t is a highly unpleasant expert
ence, that of not being able to feel
quite sure that the mop is or is not
going to be pushed squarely over the
toes of ones shoes.

1t is, alas, the sad truth. Try as
one may, it is almost impossible to
pretend that one doesn't care.
One longs to seize the mop, smack
the wielder over the head with it, and
then throw the whole business through
a plate-glass window.

mission, have issued invitations for
the swearing-in ceremony on next
week far in excess of quotas. 1t is
likewise limited that some of these
newcomers have themselves never
seen the inside of the Capitol meet
ing chambers and do not appreciate
the fact that they are not veritable
auditoriums like those in which ma
tional conventions are held, and were
not built for the purpose of taking
in thousands of citizens eager to
witness the proceedings Of the Ma
tional Legislature.
It may be that this embarrassing
situation will cause some of the newer
members Of House and Senate to
move for the enlargement of the
Capitol. That, however, is not at
all likely to be done. True, there
is under way-at present not more
advanced than the planning stage
project for the extension of the
Capitol through the revision of the
east front to conform to the archi-
tectural scheme of the whole struc-
ture. That has no relation whatever
to the provision Of space for the
sessions of the two houses. When
it is accomplished, al. that is pos
sible will have been done, short
of the complete reconstruction of the
Capitol, toward its expansion, and
the great National State House"
must remain with accommodations
for bare twelve hundred on
lockers, representatives of the con-
Stituents for whom the legislators
in the arenas below are exerting
their powers of craftsmanship. But
there is solace for the disappointed.
The newspapers will continue to dis
charge their duty of reporting the
proceedings. The radio may send
forth the voices of the performers on
the stages below, to reach the count
less millions of the unseen multi
tudes. And there will still be that

dom, the wit and at times the la
borious efforts of the 531 members
of the most loquacious legislature

THIS AND THAT
BY CHARLES E. TRACEWELL.
The restaurant nemesis-have you

The restaurant nemesis-have you
met him?
He may be white, or he may be
black, but always he bears q big mop.
And insists on mopping up the floor
right under your feet.
Especially he delights in this at
odd times Of the day, when a great
many persons meet in little groups of
two and three to enjoy what they hope
will be quiet cup of coffee.
Such cups would be quiet, If 1t were
not for the nemesis.
He sees to 1t that there Is an un-
necessary stopping around underfoot.
II X Il
The customer who abhors this prac-
tice is precisely the one the nemesis
delights to mop up.
He will leave one end Of the place,
where he has not finished, to come to
the other end in order to run his mop
directly under the feet of this person.
Some might claim the person too
sensitive to such annoyances.
How does it come about, then. that
no matter the time of day he arrives,
the man with the mop comes over
directly?
Long ago this particular person
gave up believing that destiny had
him in charge, either for good things
or bad.
He no longer felt that when it
rained it was aimed at his pleasure.
One thing he knew, however, that
was the magnetic quality of his feet
for wet mops.
Let the tiled floor be never so spick
and span, it would get washed up
again the minute he came in.
He had tried the various effects of
different orders, one day for coffee,
another for q chocolate ice cream
soda.
The order made no difference, ap-
parently, for the second the drink was
placed on his table, out would come
the man with the mop.
Now wet mops have peculiar odor,
something resembling a dog in the
process of being bathed.
1t is a smell peculiarly unpleas-
ant when one is eating.
4 Il
A cleanly smell perhaps?
Well, only when one is at the han
die end.
To the person at the receiving end
Of your average wet mop the odor is
distinctly unpleasant.
Yet never once has the manager Of
any such place ever seemed to realize
this
The mopping goes on just the same.
1t Is the hour to mop when the
rush Of customers is over.
And mop they must.
He who finds this procedure un-
pleasant can smell the instrument
the moment the man enters the
place with it.
He hopes that this time he may
overlook this corner.
Nearer and nearer comes the
swishing.
There is chance
But. no, here he comes, pushing
the mop before him.
Now closer and closer it approaches
with every indication of being pro-
PEELED squarely over the feet of the
victim.

The Galleries of Congress.

The reported embarrassment of
members of Congress, who have in
vited more friends to attend the OPEN
ing session next Wednesday to witness
the ceremony of swearing in" as the
newly elected Senators and Represent
ativeS take their seats in the two
houses than the galleries will accom-

when the Capitol was planned and
erected little consideration was given
to the provision of space for specta-
tors. The original structure, finally
completed in 1825-after the fire
caused by British troops in 1874
housed the Representatives in the
space now known as Statuary Hall and
the Senators in the room which has
been occupied for many years by the
Supreme Court, soon to be deserted for
the new home of the court across the
plaza. The galleries Of these two as

the need of larger space for the stead

felt and work was started on the two
wings, which were completed in a few
years, the House occupying its new
quarters in 1857 and the Senate NOV
ing into its chamber in 1859. The
galleries provided seats for about five
hundred each and on extraordinary
occasions about a hundred more could
be tucked away on the steps in each
gallery, making a grand total of twelve
hundred for whom looking and listen

has remained unchanged to this day,
and it is the extreme to which the
legislators can 60 in hospitality on
