Miss LLAMA Changes
Tennis Nationality
my Associated PressI

LONDON, Dec. 24.-Anita Liz
ana, U. S. women's tennis singles
champion in 1887. will probably
play for Britain in the Wightman
cup match next year.
In the past, Miss LLAMA has
represented Chile. This year,
however, she married Ronald Ell
lis, Scotsman. Now the Lawn
Tennis association has laid down
the rule that she may represent
Britain in all national matches
simply by declaring her willing
ness to change her tennis nation
atty.
Action of the LIZA. is based
on the International Lawn Tennis
federation ruling that upon mar
riage a woman may elect TO
adopt the qualification of her
husband.
The LIZA. anticipates no COM
plant from the U.SLT-A. about
this ruling
Il is also expected that Doro-
thy Round Little will return 10
international competition. II so,
these two. with Mary Hardwick,
Peggy Scriven, and the fast-im-
proving Margot Lumb will give
Britain one Of its finest teams in
years.

Ice Skating Hints
BY GARDNER SoULE.
AP Feature Service Writer

NEW YORK, Dec. 24.-This be-
ing the time of year, l have pre-
pared report for the customers
on ice skating.
My research work consisted of
consulting Diane Cummings new
book: Figure Skating AS A Hob
by. l learned quickly that
~ Diane is a looking
| brunette.
/ ~ Skating is safe-"involv-
ing only occasional harmless
spills.
~ Skating is Inexpensive.
(Skates with boots cost only $40
to $50 a pair. which is cheap
enough-for some of You.)
t4) Skating is fairly easy" to
! learn.
! (5) Skaters are a generous
lot of people.
t6) And skating has colorful
history. which you will find it
useful to know. You'll understand
why later.
THE BEGINNING
All you have to do TO get start
ed is. first. practice e-wiggling
10 get adequate circulation;
second. borrow your chauffeur's
pants-theY make an ideal cos
hume: and. third. practice the sew
en- exercises for those who wish
to timber up at home.
A sample exercise: Sit on the
floor with feet sire ched wide
apart, lean down to touch each
shoulder to the opposite knee.
Bend down, turn, bend down,
etc.
After these exercises you'll be
ready to take 20 the ice. You'll
be ready for anything.
The principal thing to practice
in your first skating lesson is how
to stand still on skates. Then how
to stand still on one ska e with
the other poised in the air. You
take a few steps, you have some
one pull you along, and so on.
Don't be embarrassed, is
DANES advice to beginners. You
must have someone to hold your
hand during the first lesson, and,
Butch, DOM be embarrassed
about it, either.
How To Impress
While you are learning, you
can impress your friends by dis
playing your knowledge of skat-
ing history. Sample facts:
Up to 1860, men skated in stiff,
Starched shirts with high collars
and ascots, morning coats, Top
hats and striped trousers.
Exactly 30 years ago the u. S.
had a skating craze. The Hippo
drome featured Charlotte, a Eu-
ropean girl, in elaborate ice acts.
This description occurs in the
1863 New York Skaters Manual:
"A swift skater makes the near
est approach TO flying which we
denizens of this mundane sphere
can achieve with our own organs
of motion.

After Three Years,
He Gets His Buck

OKLAHOMA CITY, Okla,
Dec. 24.-Three years of persever-
ance finally brought Edward Cole
of Oklahoma City a shot at a
giant buck that was king" of its
herd in the Black Hills of South
Dakota.
Cole first saw the buck while
hunting near Lead, S. D., in
1886. He didn't get a shot at it.
The next year, 1887, Cole saw the
same buck in the same spot with
the same herd. Again he didn't
get a shot.
This year he went back and
there again was the buck. Cole
was close enough to shoot and he
made a balls eye.
Cole formerly lived at Lead; he
has hunted near there for 80
years.

shore. Trying again, he scored
a bulls eye in the middle of the
lake. Schofield reported no fish
casualties.
There were IFS fish of mixed
oreeds dropped in the cardboard
carton. The container burst when
il struck the water and Schofield
found a dozen dead fish.
Experiments were repeated at
heights up to 400 feet and Scho-
field said most of the fish sur
vived.
Better Than Pack Train
He estimated that out of the
1000 that were dumped, not more
than go were lost or killed.
I'm sure fish can be planted
cheaper and faster by plane than
by pack train in isolated lakes
he said.
Between 10 and Is percent OF
the fish die on these pack trips"
All western states have numer-
Gus high or isolated lakes that re-
quire days to reach by pack train.
BY airplane many of the lakes
are not more than an hour or
two from fish hatcheries.
Schofield said the plane meth
cd has been used successfully in
Canada where fish have been
dropped from as high as 1000 feet
and lived.
He is developing a better fish

ago, some of our fore-fathers wrote a protest against an earlier style of raeketeering. In the Declaration of Independence they complain of the acts of King George as follows.
 For imposing taxes on Us with out our consent.
 You Union men who permit your selves to be gypped out of your hard-earned dollars to keep these gangsters in luxury and ease. and you Alaskans who are forbidden to fish in the perilous waters of Brls- tOl Bay unless the outside Union receives Sc for every fish you take, and you Indian workers who pay a large portion of the wages you toll for shining fish in the company of arrogant Filipinos and greasy Mex jeans and Japs, don't you think it is about time to protect yourselves against this situation?
 No sensible person should object to Unions as such. It Is the right and privilege of workers to join to- gether for mutual protection and advantage. But Unions in Alaska should be organized for and by Al askans. If it is desired to join forces with outside Unions, the Alaskans should be autonomous, controlling their own affairs, not ruled by outside exploiters who use the Al askans for their own profit.
 If elected to the Territorial Leg islature at the coming September election. I will introduce and press for passage, bill to restrict fishing in Alaska to residents of this terri tory.
