WIMBLEDON TITLE
IS ANOTHER COAL
Looks Forward to Meeting
Helen Jacobs Again, but
With F0reb0ding.
This is the last of series OF
personality stories on younger
sports stars.
BY ROBERT MYERS.
OS ANGELES, February 6 P).-

OS ANGELES, February tf1.-
Americas reigning tennis queen,
Alice Marble, who did what
IL they said she couldn't do when
she won the women's singles cham
pionship of the United States last
year, has her heart set on two new
objectives.
The first, and foremost, is to cap
ture the womens title at Wimbledon
this Summer. The other Is to go
into motion pictures.
Blond Alice, who collapsed on
tennis court in Paris in 1884. was de-
clared through" and came back two
wears later to defeat Helen Jacobs
for the national crown, has definite
ideas about the game and herself.
Around April, Miss Marble Ind her
coach and mother and guardian
Eleonor Tenant, will leave Tor
Europe to tune up for Wimbledon.
At the moment, she is taking screen
tests, studying dramatics and voice
and writing, all to be put into prac-
tice after the 1887 tennis wars.
Looks to Wimbledon.
I'm LOOKING forward now. most
L of all, to playing at Wimble-
don" said the determined young
woman, stretching one of the shapely
Marble legs-covered by SlackS in
stead of the familiar non-covering OF
the famous Marble tennis shorts
over a coffee table in front OF the
divan. Flicking cigarette ash into
a tray, she continued:
And don't think I have the idea
that am going to win in England,
I don't. It's easy for some one to say,
'Yes, Alice. after you win at Wlmble-
don, and so on but I know it's not
that easy. My, I wish it were"
She said she looked forward" to
another meeting with Helen Jacobs
but not without grave forebodings.
She plays such a consistent game"
Alice explained. You can't afford to
have an off day against her"
Was she surprised when she was
given No. ranking among the
Nations women players?
Top Ranking NO SURPRISE.
mo" SHE answered frankly. II
would have been surprised if it
had been otherwise. After all. /
believe there has been but one instance
when a national champion didn't get
the top rating. I forget who it was"
Miss Marble will give an answer to
any question. She does not volunteer
predictions, impressions or opinions.
For instance, she thinks Donald
Bulge plays too much Winter tourna-
ment tennis for his own good, and was
not surprised at the setbacks handed
the Oakland redhead by Bitsy Grant
In Florida.
She thinks Ellsworth Vines is bet
ter player than Fred Perry, attributes
Vines initial defeats in the profess
sional series to the Englishman's phys
1cal condition and rates the lanky
Pasadena player "as the greatest
player I ever have seen"

CHAPTER VII

Jim, in a rosy glow Of optimism,
sprinted down the terrace steps at
the side of the house and through
the garden, taking a shortcut to the
cottage. A figure detached itself
from shadows.
"Jim!" Cecily called, softly.
He halted in the path beside the
miniature fountain, one foot threat
ening a clump of night-blooming
stock. She came up to him, laugh

there's something in it after all.
Jim, what did he say?"
Jim looked at her, mentally blink
ing.
"What did who say?" he asked.
"Father. You've been with him
all evening. Didn't you drop hint
about Jerry? I thought that was
probably why you were there" Her
hand, as light as butterfly, touched

YOU cannot afford to take chance

"Sold Down the River"

The expression 'sold down the
river" originated in ante bellum
days, and referred to the practice
of Shareholders in disposing of re-
fractory slaves by selling them at
public auction down the river
usually the Mississippi to the own
ers of large cotton plantations where
they were reduced from compare
tive ease to conditions of the most
abject description In recent times,
says Literary Digest, the express
sion has been revived to denote al
most any demotion, or demotion
to a condition of mere slavish rout-
inc or drudgery.

Purse from Sow's Ear

A feature of the exhibit Of
Arthur D. Little, Inc, at the Ma
tional Exposition of Chemical In
dustries in 1921, was silk purse
actually made out of sow's ear.
The ear was made into glue, soft
ened with water, brought almost
to the point of precipitation with
acetone, then forced through a
warm container into a spinneret,
and through this into hardening
solution of sormaldehyde and ace
tone in a V-trbe. 1t was picked out
of the V-tube, reeled, dried,
treated to 40 per cent glycerin
bath in which it was also dyed,
then reeled and dried again, WOW

nicely.
"Who isn't?" she countered. "But

said.

Sounds terrible"
"It is" She stood very close to
him, her hand resting on his arm.
Thanks" Jim said, wanting to
cover her hand with his, prudently
resisting the impulse. 1T felt like
silly grin. If I'm not entirely re-
spectful tonight" he went on, ''put

man in and about the house is

Gift Of Good Nature

Good nature is generally born
with us; health, prosperity, and
kind treatment from the world
are great cherishers of it where
they find it, but nothing is capable
of forcing it up where it does not

blessings Of a happy constitution,
which education may improve,
but not produce.--Steele.

PARIS, Sept. 20. (UP)-Amer-
lean Legionnaires, visiting in Paris
as guests of the French govern

country last night because OF dis
satisfaction with hotel quarters as

An informal indignation meet

building here.
Post Commander Bernhard Rag

French official and semi-otficial
activities, said that only 20 COM

62S Legionnaires who already
have arrived. A United Press cor
respondent, however, was unable
to find one satisfied visitor.
The government paid a tourist
agency lump sum to arrange &C

The tourist agency refused 10
