JONES PUSHES
BANKRUPTCY
MEASURE
International News Service

-~N~----~-~~----
Administration support is sought
for enactment by this Congress
of a new municipal bankruptcy
law to replace that held unconsti-
tutional by the Supreme Court.
Jesse H. Jones, Reconstruction
Finance Corporation chairman, en-
route to Texas today with Presi-
dent Roosevelt, is advocating a
measure introduced by Represent
alive Wilcox CD of Florida.
The court held the old act
usurped the rights Of States, which
under the Constitution, may enact
bankruptcy laws, but cannot i'm
pair the obligation Of contracts.
Representative Wilcox said:
Reading these two provisions
together it would appear that
the State may deal only with
debts to be hereafter created,
and that it may not enact bank
ruptcy legislation dealing with
existing debts.
81 have redrafted the act and
made it applicable only to debts
in existence upon the date Of
passage of the act. This cannot
interfere with any right Of the
State.
I'm this view Of the cOnstitu-
ton and the decision Of the
Supreme Court, it would appear
that q new act limiting its ap-
plicatiOn to existing debts would
be constitutional"

LABOR REFORM
IS HURRIED
BY BLUM

PARIS, June 10 QNsS0.-Amid
persistent reports that President
Albert Lebrun is contemplating
resignation because Of lack Of
sympathy with the radical changes
sweeping France, Socialist Premier
Leon Blum today moved with
record speed toward enactment OF
the LeftiSt Popular Front program
while numerous strikes remained
unsettled.
At the same time Blum's new
government, controlled by a coah-
ton Of Socialists, Communists
and Radical-Socialists, assumed
stronger political direction over
all the nations defense forces.
To NatiOnalize Plank
The cabinet also took initial
steps toward virtual nationalist

of France and of the country's
gigantic war industries. first to
feel effects of the general strikes
that involved more than 1,0O0,'
600 workers before Blum COM
PEELED big employers to concede
the strikers demands.
In one of the busiest days the
government has experienced since
the World War, Blum's cabinet
sent to the chamber of deputies
five project laws, carrying out the
Popular Front program.
These enactmentS, whose speedy
passage is virtually certain, would
establish the 40-hour week, collec-
tive bargaining, annual two-week
paid vacations, wage increases OF
seven to Is per cent, and would
abolish former Premier Pierre
Laval'S decree laws which SlaShed
the pay and pensions Of civil Serv-
ants and war veterans.
Lebrun May Quit
Rumors Of President Lebrun's
possible resignation, meanwhile,
raced through government halls
and were given credence by sew
eral prominent deputies. A mod
crate Republican, Lebrun has
been president since 1882. Should
he resign, it was said he will prob
ably be succeeded by Fernand
Bouisson, former president Of the
chamber and a former leader OF
the Socialist party.
Lebrun today signed a govern,
ment decree giving the leftiSt re-
gime a virtual iron-handed con-

gives and excellent "cut" or break upon
striking the ground. it is used ex-
tensively by novices. Against a poor
player it wins because of the excessive
cut. Against a good player it usually
fails, because he takes it on his strong
forehand and drives it to your back
hand corner for the point.
However, by mixing 1t in judicially
with the other two serves, 1t has its
place in any players game. Grip the
racket as before and plan to hit the
ball with the left face. Hit the ball
after a full swing as before, and finish
the stroke down and to the left. The
ball should break sharply to the op-
ponent's forehand.
Comparing these services to the
pitching of a base ball, the forehand
break is like the outcurve. the straight
serve like fast ball and the backhand
break like the incurve pitched to a
right-handed batter.

You Can Enjoy Thrilling Water Rides
When You Build Your OaUn Aquablane
By Ray J. Marian.

THE most common pleasure de-
rived from an aquaplane is
thrilling ride on some lake or
bay while being towed by a
fast motor boat. Unfortunately, few
boys and girls have friends with motor
boats so they can enjoy the sport.
But that doesn't prevent you from
having fun with an aquaplane at your
favorite bathing beach.
Aquaplanes are easy to construct.
Merely nail together two 1-inch or
pinch boards, IL inches wide by 5 or
6 feet long with four cross cleats as
shown in the sketch. Saw the front
end Of the boards into a circular
shape. Then hand plane and sand
paper all the edges and the top sur
face of the boards to prevent slivers
from snagging bare feet. Paint the
entire plane with several coats of
good quality outdoor, waterproof
paint.
To hitch an aquap1ane to a motor
boat, the attaching bride is knotted
in holes bored directly behind the
first cleat, so that this rope. is under
meath the plane, and not on top. The
hand hold rope is knotted in holes
bored directly in front Of the first
cleat so that this rope Is on the top
side Of the plane.
To ride behind a motor boat, the
tow line Is attached to the under side
bride which, when speeding through
the water, pulls the front end of the
plane up and makes the plane skim
over the surface. The rider stands
with his feet behind the third cleat,
holds on, and tries to maintain his
balance by hanging on and pulling on
the hand hold ropes.
Behind speedy motor boat, riding
an aquaplane gives person about all
the thrills and spills he may expect,
and then some. Where no motor boat
is available, you can still have fun
with an aquaplane by Just floating on
1t and padding with your hands.
To make the plane nonsinkable, so
you can navigate in deep water. you

Mastery of Backhand Tennis Delivery
Should Lift You Out of Novice Clas
By Warren F. Robinson.

UTTING the ball into play In
- tennis, or serving" is so i'm
portant to good playing that a
L great deal of attention should
be paid to 1t by the novice. There are
three really essential ways to serve.
They are:
l. The forehand break serve.
2. The straight serve.
s. The backhand break serve.
OF these services, the backhand
break serve will probably give you more
winning games and sets and more real
pleasure than any other way of getting
the ball into motion. The "old MASTER"
Bill Tilden, than whom there has
never been a greater player. brought
this service into prominence and used
it with wonderful success. Its proper
use will stamp you as definitely out
Of the dub" class of player. 1t is
Sure-flre against most novices and o
real menace to a good player.
The grip-Place your racket on its
edge propped up by books on a table,
handle towards you. Your palm is now
placed upon the top of the butt and
you shake hands" with the racket.
THE ball is to be struck with the
right-hand face of the racket later,
not with the left-hand face. To serve
the ball, take your position at the base
line on the court, toss up the ball with
the left hand, as usual, swing the
racket down, back, and up from behind
over the shoulder. Try to hit the ball
at the top Of the swing, strike down
and to the left, finishing by sweep by
the left knee and to the left rear.
II properly struck. the ball will
strike on your adversary's backhand
and break" with the cut in that direc-
ton. This being the weakest side with
most players, it gives you a big ad-
vantage. The serve will seem '-un-
natural" and difficult at first, being
much harder to execute than the easy
and usual right-hand break serve in
Evening star., 1936-06-21

which the ball Is struck with the left
face of the racket. But, once mastered,
it will add greatly to your pleasure and
skill.
The straight serve is rarely tried by
amateurs because 1t appears so simple
that they think it childish. Yet this
same service, with speed and accuracy,
was known to Tilden admirers as the
famous cannon ball service!"
Shake hands with your racket as in
the backhand break serve. The ball
Is to be struck with the left face this
time. Toss the ball up as usual, swing
as usual. but when you hit the ball,
drive it straight for the spot you want
it to hit, swinging forward and down
past the right knee without any "cut-
ting" or twisting. Just hit it straight
and true. With variation in speed it is
fine serve for placements.
THE forehand break serve is the
easiest TO learn, and because 1t

Emotional Pencil Sheds Tears

"
Y r ERES another of those effects
in which simplicity is the key
note. Never the less, it's really
i L a dandy trick.
Effect-The magician takes from his
pocket an unprepared lead pencil. This
he passes for rigid examination among
the spectators.
This pencil, the performer explains,
has peculiar human characteristics. In

Stimulant No Cure.

pROCEEDING on the theory that
little liquor is good for mans
stomach, a manufacturer of one patent
medicine has put out a product which
ran afoul the pure food and drug
regulations.
In the first place, the manufacturer
defrauded the purchasers by claiming
a higher alcoholic content than was
actually present in the mixture. The
mixture contained only 712 per cent,
while the label proclaimed is per cent.
The medicine, If so 1t might be
termed, was simply a combination OF
alcohol and water. It was supposed
to be good for ailments of the diges-
tive tract, appendicitis, kidney and
liver disorders, rheumatism, high
blood pressure, backache, nervous dis
orders and sleeplessness.
Possibly an afflicted person imbibtng
sufficient of the medicine might take
on a pleasant glow which might fool
him into believing he was being aided.

course, there are exceptions, but on
the whole our girls like to marry early.
Why it's only in recent years that the

But lately, since the depression, we

But there is absolutely no sort Of

Even among our industrial workers
there is no talk Of higher wages,
unions or labor groups. The only
thing they ever want to join is dance

as temporary. They honestly still
believe that the only way q girl can
really get anything Is through mar

I feel that Miss New Orleans atti-

greatly Influenced by her devoutness.
While she may care little less about
many things, she worships God Just
q little more. And at least IS per

while every woman In New Orleans

"Yes, I do," said she and her man
ner was regal.
No matter how hard the New Or
leanian works she does it leisurely and
with an air. why, only the other
night at my society meeting we were
talking about how lucky we girls with
jobs are. Do you know that there
are 10000 more women than men In
this city? We all agreed that the girl
with the job has more money to buy

And she gets out through the day and
