Helen a Close Second.

MRS. MOODY at her best has had
4'A a combination of tennis qualities
only slightly below that of her French
rival for all-time honors.
In the. first place, she has always
had a far better competitive spirit
much better competitive courage under
fire.
In the second place she has carried
greater power But she was never
quite able to reach the all-around skill
or finesse Of Lenglen and she was
never born with the foot speed that
Sizzling Suzarue used around the
court, where, like Tilden, she was al
ways at perfect balance for the next
stroke.
I have followed Helen Wills tennis
career since I first saw her as kid
Of IS, wearing the famous pig-tails
Of her early days. It was apparent
then that her only slip below tennis
greatness for women would be in the
matter Of speed. Not that she was
slow or numbering. She wasn't. But
she was distinctly away from the
twinkling feet of the shifty Suzanne,
who, at times, was an acrobat upon
attack or defense.

EQUAL of Men Stars.

r FIRST saw Mile. Lenglen play in
= the French championship Of 1921.
Outside of Bill Tilden. she was
about as good as most Of the men
playing in that field. At least she
dominated the mixed doubles matches.
And even as fine woman player and
as great a competitor as Molla NAL
lory was outclassed in the final test.
Mile. Lenglen had fiawless form,
amazing skill and almost perfect con-
troll of every shot. She had no crush
ing power-but she had an abundance
CT speed.
Her one vital weakness was lack OF
any keen competitive spirit. She had
little of this. She had to outclass an
opponent to win, as even the thought
OF defeat sent her into the jitters
more than once. In her case. the
filters meant prompt retirement for
that day, anyway.

Eh0rtlesS Beauty.

MILE. LENGLEN was not to be set
~'A up as any female beauty. but she
was beautiful as an athlete when the
flaming color she wore began to move
around-a red or orange NghtnesS
blown by the wind.
It was impossible to detect any form
Of effort in anything she did. Her
grace was of the nonpareil type. As
she had been trained since early child
hood in the correct execution Of every
stroke, the combination was more than
any woman could meet.
The tennis paths of Mile. Lenglen
and Mrs. Moody, at that time Helen
Wills, crossed but once, at Nice, where
the French star won in two hard
straight sets. Shortly after that meet
ing, around 1926, the French star
heard the lyrical call of Charley Pyle
and abandoned amateur ranks, leav-
ing Helen Wills in full control Of the
amateur side.

MARINE BAND
IS SENT TO
TEXAS

Diregarding the authority OF
Congress, the Roosevelt Admins
tration yesterday sent the United
States Marine Band on a trip to
Texas before either House or Sen
ate had voted the necessary FUNDS
for the tour.
The band left Washington yes
terday on money borrowed" from
the contingent expense fund, with
expectation Congress will approve
an $11,500 appropriation, the COM
puted cost of the trip.
Spokesman for the House APP
propriations Committee admitted
the procedure was extra Legal.

President Roosevelt, who leaves

trip. will cross at Dallas, Tex,
where the famous band Is sched-
uled to play. -,
Republicans in Congress have
charged the tour of the band was
arranged actually to "ballyhoo"
the Presidents trip.
Although both House and Sen
ate this week authorized the
bands participation in centennial
celebrations at Dallas and Little
Rock, Ark, neither House has yet
acted on appropriations for the
trip.
Actual funds for the bands ex-
penses are provided for in an
amendment inserted by the Sen
ate in the deficiency bill now
pending before a joint conference.
In view Of the legislative tangle re-
sulting from Speaker Byrns' death
it was considered improbable that
the deficiency bill conference re-
port could be acted upon by the
House for 10 days.
Disclosure Of the bands de-
parture from Washington brought
forth a storm of protest among
House Republicans, who an
nounced they would oppose the
Senate amendment appropriating
$11,5O0.

Confronted With a Talk To
Get Hold Of Address
Changes
WILL MAIL BLANKS SOON

One of the largest tasks con-
fronting the Motor Vehicle Depart
ment of the Secretary of States
office is to have holders of automo-
bile and operators licenses notify
the Department of change of adj
dress According to the depart
ment's officials, many persons who
have either or both of these licens-
es change their address during the
year and fail to notify the depart
ment with the result that when the
applications for new licenses are
sent out, these persons frequently
fail to receive their applications.
Also during the year should some
matter arise concerning the holder
of these licenses, the department
/ decords contain the wrong address
and the Department is handicapped
in procuring some necessary infor-
nation. These changes in residence
caused some difficulty when new
applications for registration plates
were mailed and are expected to
cause more trouble for the applica-
tions for new operators licenses go
out. The Motor Vehicle Depart
ment is now preparing blanks for
the new operators licenses and
these are expected to be in the mail
by not later than February 18th.
The use of the present operators
licenses will expire on February
29th. More than 10000 registra-
ton plates for 1886 have been is
sued by the Motor Vehicle Depart
ment This number is about 2,300
more than were issued at this time
last year and is within about 5000
of the total number of registration
plates issued during 1885.

wheat, millet, sorghum, maize, cot
ton, tobacco, grapes and other fruit
grow abundantly, and where, it is
reputed, lie the richest anthracite
(hard) coal and iron deposits in
all China. Lack of good roads and
railroads have heretofore held up
development of the deposits and
have left them nearly intact for the
exploitation of the new government.
while Shantung is rich in agri-
cultural lands, the chief assets of
this province are its network of
roads, it's railroads, its teeming
cities and its industries. Tsinan,
Tsingtao, Tungchang. Ichow, Weih-
sic, and Chefoo, all are large popu-
lation centers of Shantung which,
with more than 600 people to the
square miles, is one of the most
thickly populated areas of its size
in the world.
''If milady had traced the origin
of her hair-net when hair-nets were
a necessary part of her costume
some years ago. she would, no
doubt, have discovered that it was
made in or near Chefoo, for that
city was the center of a great hair
net-making industry. While hair
nets are not now of first impor-
tance, factories and homes of the
province keep Shantung exporters
busy with such products as pongee
silk, pig bristles, peanut oil, flour
and cotton fabrics"

NEW STATE OUT
OF CHINA SEEN
Five Provinces Are Involved
i'm Latest Movement i'm
That Country
HAS WORLD ATTENTION

WashingtOn.-The movement to-
pendent country from the northeast
ern corner of China, focuses world
attention on the five provinces
which may eventually comprise
Asia's newest state.
"Chahar, Suiyuan, Shansi, Hopeh,
and Shantung aggegrate nearly 4OO,-
600 square miles or an area equal
to that of the states of Massachu-
setts, New York, Pennsylvania,
Ohio, Illinois, Indiana, and Cali
fornia combined" says the National
Geographic society.
eff the new region becomes au-
tonomous, China will lose a large
area in which are rivers, railroad
lines. farms and industries, impor-
tant in the economic life of China,
and cities intimately linked with
the traditions of the old Celestial
empire continues the bulletin.
"Chahar and Suiyuan are part
of Inner Mongolia, but Shensi,
Hopeh, and Shantung are in China
proper, with the Great Wall of Chi
ma forming their northern bound
aries. Thus, large portion of the
Great Wall, that for centuries has
been one of the wonders of the
East and a lesser wonder of the
world, would become the property
of the newly organized political
state.
"The loss to the Nanking govern
ment of Chahar and Suiyuan would
not be as costly as that of the
provinces south of the wall. Both
Inner Mongolian provinces are
largely barren desert wastes. with
the sands of the Cobb almost en-
tirely engulfing Suiyuan and the
northern two-thirds of Chahar.
These regions are inhabited by No
mad tribes who, living in yurts. re-
main in one spot just so long as
trade demands or their cattle can
find ample pastures.
KaIgan Goes With chahar.
Southern Chahar is an agricul-
tural country where settlers have
been able to exc out living with
crops of oats, wheat. buckwheat.
millet, and beans, and in some
years have raised such an abun-
dance of these that there was
enough for export TO neighboring
provinces. Kalgan, at hole in the
Great Wall, would be one of the
great losses for China in Chabar,
for it is famous as a trading center.
Before the railroad reached Kali
gan. caravan routes radiated from
the city into Mongolia and southern
Siberia, to which it was called the
gateway. Only Ningsia province.
