any censure which some might pin
on her for her frigid attitude in Sat-

right in ending the match as quickly
As possible.

explained Mr.. Leech. According to
the rules OF tennis, any request for
pause in play must come either
fro mthe umpire, tournament referee
or the player who would like to have
1t. Miss Jacobs could have requested
tlme-out, and her request could
have been considered by the umpire
or referee, but as long as she didn't.
there was nothing Mrs. Moody could
do about it.
Under the circumstances, it was
her duty to finish the match as quickly
as possible. Certainly, Miss Jacobs
was at a disadvantage, but so is a
player with poor backhand or a poor
driving game and yet, what opponent
would not play to his adversary's
weakness?
Frankly. wouldn't be sur
prised If the reputed dislike of
Mrs. Moody and Miss Jacobs for
each other wasn't just a lot Of
newspaper talk.
I'm my estimation. Mrs. Moody
showed wonderful courage in coming
back all the way-not only in her
nnal match, but in coming out of
retirement, going through the entire
neld and recapturing her old title"
Rules or no rules, we still see no
reason why Mrs Moody couldn't have
SHOWN some concern over obvious pain
OF her fellow-stateswoman. And we
think that it should be to Miss Jacobs
everlasting credit that she didn't de-
fault.

Mans best friend, the dog, has
proved his worth in numerous ways
and for many centuries dogs have
been playing an important role in
human warfare. Originally, states
a correspondent in the Philadelphia
Inquirer, an attempt was made to
press the animals into field hospital
service. The experiment did not
prove satisfactory and was partial
ly given up during the World war.
The activities Of the Army dog to-
day are chiefly confined to the dis
patch service, where excellent re-
suits have been obtained. Dogs have
done splendid work in the most diff
fcult and most dangerous situations,
where all other means of conveying
messages or accommodating were
impossible.
The Swiss army owes the introduce
ton Of dogs into its activities to
private initiative. A few years ago
a privately organized dispatch dog
service was added to the First
Army corps. 1t Immediately gave
proof Of it's usefulness. Based on
these experiences, the Swiss Fed
