New York, July g = (UP) - Ever since this department has been department, 1t has wondered why the speed of track athletes was not given In miles per hour, instead of in seconds, minutes, and, in the case of marathon runners, hours.
 To the average sports page reader those assorted seconds and split seconds which accompany the sum- mary of c track meet, mean very little indeed. The information they offer the layman is 'durn i1eager. It's impossible for anyone save the close students of the game to read anything that means very much iIl- to those 00:00.6s and 3:b3.4's. When you read that Jesse ovens did the 1OO-yard dash in 00:00.6 1t docs not conjure up any picture of speed. How much clearer the picture would he # his efforts were recorded in miles per hourl
 A lead like this, for example, would Dc understood even by an Alabama housewife who had never seen . track meet:
 "Palmcr Stadium, Princeton, N. J., July 0 - Jesse Owens, Ohio State daredevil, established Q new worlds land speed record for human beings today when ho drove his stream lined body over tho measured l00- yard course ct an average speed of 20.i77 miles per hour. The former record of 10.3S3 In.p.h. was held by Eulace Peacock, Temple University flier.
 "Interviewed after his record run Sir Malcolm = no, no, not BIT Nal" Colin, but owens said the course was perfect visibility was good, and he had no engine trouble"
 Twenty miles an hourl There's something for your reader to sink his teeth into, something he knows about, and not complicated fig 'ure oil stippled with decimal points and zeroes.
 rake the mile run, for example. The goal of the men who run thiA distance Is . mile in four minutes flat. Now to your average sports page reader that doesn't mean much. HO doesn't follow the game closely enough to fully understand just what four quarters of GO means. How much simpler, how much clearer, 1t would Do to say that the aim if worlds milers is to cover the distance at afl average speed of l6 miles per hour.
 Of course, the adoption of the charley horse and iiniInent boys Of much glamor. This is on age of tremendous speed. and no one who has ever driven . car at the nig- gardly rate of i6 m.p.h. would ever get lathered with excitement over a man running that swiftly LOT rather that slowly. Tn q car 1t seems little more than crawl I tried it the other day, and as l snailed along, with the speedo- meter needle ct IS, I said to myself that anyone who couldn't run . mile faster than this, oughta be taken out and destroyed.
 The same is true of Q Howard dash at 20 m.p.h. Milkwagons bang over cobbled streets faster than can't name an animal. from rabbit to raccoon, which can't spot the fastest human c good head start and pass him as fit he were tied to 6 post. And your animal doesn't have to have Q trainer anoint him

The Service Grip

Ths Service Grip
 Tn view of the fact that the sery- fec stroke is played above the head and shoulders, it becomes necessary for . player to change his grip on the racket handle.
 The service grip can best be des- cribed as being half way between teh forehard and backhand grips. For example, if you will grip the racket as for the forehand stroke, and then turn your hand on the handle hale way back toward the bAclkhand grip, this hold will be correct for the service grip. It is as though you were turning the hour hand Q fthe clock back, from i2 to ii:30.
 The most natural way to hold
 the racket is with the palm Of
 the hand against the back, or
 wide part Of the handle. This
 not only prevents . player from
 getting Che necessary amount
 Oe wrist action into the stroke,
 but causes one Co push, rather
 than swing at the bsl. This inc
 correct method Of gripping the
 racket will also turn the face
 Of the racket ln the wrong de
 rectlon as t is swung toward
 the ball.
 Most beginners who have never indulged in athletics have some difiiculty in learning to serve, due to teh fact that they have not been accustomed to hitting, or doe Ing any sort of exercise above the head and shoulders. Those who haveplayed badminton or baseball encounter little difflculty in learning to serve, as they employ the same motions in hitting or throwing that is used in serving.
 The important thing for begln- TIerS in tennis to remember Is, that # the service is to Do accurate, the grip must Do correct.

SHEER FABRICS DESIGNED FOR COMFORT AND

 New York.-Men sleep in cool comfort these hot, mug gy nights, thanks to pajamas cleverly contrived of mater ials tisue-thin and porous as a window screen. And when it is realized that these phan- tom fabrics have withal a sturdiness that resists wash tub erosion, a nighttime mill lennnium seems to have been reached.
 May Have Cotton or SIX
 There are zephyr broadcloths, light as the stun of which dreams are made, drop-stitch voilea, air- vented to trap every vagrant breeze, gossamer ginghams, batistes. feath- erweight silks and a slew of other fabrics whose comfort on Q hot night atones for their sissy names.
 Pajamas of close-woven heavy weight silk are ordinarily too warm for hot-weather wear, but there are some new ones made up in thin crepe that are light enouhg to as- sure comfort without fragility. Those seen in one smart shop were un- usually well-made, enlbodying de- tails of construction and finish con1- monly found only In a custom yob. They come in 20 different colors. inc cludlng four shades of blue. And there are robes to match, too. tn case you want to blow the bonus on a sn0oxe ensemble.
 Styles Are Varied
 But there is q wide variety of models In sheer materials that are within the range Of tho average purse. Perhaps the most popular is Inc coat style with convertible cole Iar. and notehedscollar pull-overs running c close eeeond. The crew. neckod middy h favored by men

The association gave unanimous
Endorsement to a report " Col.

Maddox declared the bill was
simply an attempt to increase
the power Of Congress over the
District. He said If the Consti-
tuition must be amended to pro-
vide the right Of suffrage it
should be accomplished in a
manner to give power and rights
to the citizens direct, and not in

The Woman's Angle
(By Nancy Earr)

Mrs. Huey P. Long, the third
m member of the United
States Senate, by her appointment
to fill the unexpired term Of her
late husband, is now a news head
liner in her own rights. The late
Senator was a door-bell ringer sell
ing a cottonseed oil shortening when
he net Mrs. Long. She entered a
baking contest sponsored by the
shortening company and her
Brides Loaf Cake" won both the
ten dollar prize and the Senator.
This is the recipe which she credits
with leading her late husband to her
door and into matrimony.
Mrs. Longs Cake: One and
three-quarters cups of sugar, two
thirds of a cup of shortening, one
cup milk, three cups flour, three
teaspoons of baking powder, seven
egg whites, two teaspoons of ex-
tract. Cream the shortening, add
the sugar and cream together, add
the dry ingredients and the milk,
alternately. Fold in the egg
whites, then add the extract. Bake
~forty-five minutes in a moderate
oven.
Old Clothes Heaven: Have you
ever wondered about the fate of the
millions of old suits, dresses, stock
ings, hats, and other articles of
wearing apparel that are discarded
by their owner each year? Of
course, many of them are re-sold by
the second hand clothes shops and
for the cheap export trade to the
natives in Africa. But countless
garments are too worm and shabby
for further use in this way. They
