j. s. TENNIS DELAY
A|DSBUDGE'SFOES
Don, at Peak When Rain Set
In, May Not Be Able to
Hold Razor Edge.
BY GAYLE TALBOT,
Associated Press Sports Writer.

FOREST HILLS, Sept. 20.-Of the
tennis players who have been waiting
since last Saturday for the rain to
subside SO that the national champion
ship might stagger to . finish, Don
Bulge has the biggest beef coming.
The famous redhead, only two brief
jumps away from his grand slam of
the worlds four great tournaments,
just had brought his matchless game
to its absolute peak when the skies
came apart. The critics, after watch
ing him NOW down Harry Hopman Of
Australia in the quarter-finals, nodded
their heads sagely and agreed the big
fellow was In.
But now Bulge still has to get past
cocky Sidney Wood, jr, in the semi
finals and probably Jack Bromwich OF
Australia, in the hnal, if and when
there is q bright day. No one can say
whether Don has been able to keep his
razor edge through the deluge.
Bulge Is Not Worried.

play just as bad tennis when I haven't
practiced as when I've been on the
court every day"
One Of the Nations more notable
jitterbugs, Bulge spends most of his
evenings where the bands swing
loudest and the ice cream sodas run
red. Always there IS delightful
companion on one arm. for the girls
do not exactly ostracize q tennis
champion.
Wood, who at 26 suddenly flashed
q game like he never owned before,
might find the delay his ally against
Bulge. Never long on stamina, the
rest should enable him to sail into
the champion at top speed and main
tain his volleying game.
Bridge Supplants Tennis.
Bromwich and Gene Mako. the other
semi-finalists, have been battling on
more or less even terms at the bridge
table the past few days, but Brom-
wich is expected to have easier going
when he gets Gene out on the grass.
Time Is drawing short for Bulge and
Mako. Play in the Pacific Northwest
championships starts next Monday,
and they have . long train ride ahead
of them. Bulge will wait until after
the several fixtures on the West Coast
to announce his decision about turn
ing professional.
As for the girls, they still were
around, too. watching the water beat
on the windows and living well at the
Tennis Associations expense Alice
Marble and Mrs. Sarah Palfrey Fabyan
hoped to settle their semi final argu-
ment today, the winner to trade drives
with Nancy Wynne of Australia in the
final. Miss Marble usually beats Mrs
Fabyan in straight sets. Itis doubtful
she will lick the nonchalant Miss
Wynne in straight sets, II At all.

by sparing hrst-stringers and key re-
serves from serious injuries.
Some Of the players were . bit
bruised and sore and were excused
from heavy workouts early in the

ported too badly hurt to return to
action Saturday. He was Andy Mel
son, sophomore reserve tackle at v.

Gorcio Highly Fovored
In Fight With Armstrong
BY JOHN LARDNER,

SPECIAL Correspondent Oh Inc SteE.
NEW YORK, Sept. 20-Every once
In . while the temptation grows very
strong to come out in favor of some
thing besides George Washington and
sunny weather. So I will come out
fiat-footed in favor of Ceferino Garcia,
who fights young Hennery Armstrong
on November g.
A word about coming out flat-footed.
Everybody has come out with arch
supporters at one time or another, and
l4.506.700 people came out with their
umbrellas in 1894, the peak year. To
come out fiatfooted and return the
same way takes generations of back
ground
A fellow named Peter Brown, an
ancestor of mine who reached this
country on the maiden voyage of the
Maynower after couple of horses
turned up missing back in Dorsetshire,
was voted the most f1at-footed man
(married or single) on the Mayflower's
passenger list. He also was voted the
last guy in the world you would care
to leave holding your horse while you
dropped into Claffey's for a quick one.

Truancy. Can
Be Avoided
Usually
Remove the Cause
Furnishing Child
Gains Nothing.
BY ANGELO PATRI.

Many a mother has been shocked to
learn that her son or daughter has
been cutting school. OF course that
child had to lie about school business
to cover what he was doing The COM
bination Of truancy and it's attendant
untruthfulness worries mothers beyond
bearing Footloose and forced to hide
during school sessions these children
are likely to get into trouble with the
police. The first thing the mother
knows about it is the complaint Of
absence, or mischief The shock is as
great as the anxiety about the child.
The school should be meticulously
careful to report all absences by mail
and to send messenger to the house if
the absence extends to three days In
any case all absences must be accounted
for at home before they are checked
of by the school. That helps to pre-
vent long period absences which mean
loss Of standing and perhaps serious
trouble in other directions.
The best cure for truency Is its pre-
vention. Successful children do not
play truant. The backward child. the
ailing child and unhappy child, is the
truant When a teacher finds herself
dealing with one of these she should
make certain about the absence or late
ness. Every instance should be marked
and investigated. At the same time
every possible effort toward making
the child feel welcome, toward correct
ing whatever difficulty he is experience
ing, should be made The doctor, social
visitor and the teacher should cooper
ate in informing and aiding the child
and his parents.
Truancy is not always the fault Of
the school, It is easy to blame the
school for truancy because it is deeply
concerned in and with the child's life,
but school is not the only force that
works upon child. Home is stronger,
and the child's character Is often
stronger than both. BY character here
I mean the quality of the whole child,
his physical, mental and spiritual be-
ing. There are combinations of forces
in some children that make the school
helpless. The home background is be-
yond the reach Of school. A lack Of
mental power is beyond the teachers
skill to cure A combination of poor
home background and poor mentality
cannot be cured by the best school
in the world. What little the school
can do, although 1t does its best, can
not change the conditions sufficiently
to prevent truancy and its attendant
behavior. That child has to be cared
for by the social forces of law, medicine
and education as provided by our in
stitutions.
But such cases do not predominant.
We have many that are caused by sim
pie things soon remedied, such as
minor illnesses, poor diet, wrong kind
Of clothes. sense defects, lost lessons,
misunderstanding Of teachers, fatigue
or fear. When school Is set in the
right attitude toward failing children
most Of the truancy can be avoided,
and some Of the unavoidable kind re-
duced.
Furnishing truants is useless. Chill
dren have a reason, q serious one
always for running away from school
Find it; remove it, and the difficulty
ends there.

water and do not cover the meat.
Place 1t in a slow oven (300-350 de-

to place stuffing in the cavity. This
is called cushion style lamb shoul-

WATERCRESS SALAD, MUSTARD
DRESSING.
Beaumont and Fletcher called cress
"a cheap but wholesome salad from

ticularly delicious one as we'll. Water
cress is cultivated under such sanitary
conditions nowadays that the old fear
Of its use is entirely removed. In ad-
dition to being so tasty, cress ties for
first place with the germ Of wheat in
supplying vitamin E-the vitamin of
fertility!
Wash and drain the watercress, re-
moving all wilted or ragged leaves, and
separate the tiny branches. If the
stems are very long, cut them shorter.
as the best part Of watercress lies in its
leaves Serve the branches in small
loose bundles per person and dress

"A teaspoon white pepper.

Place small piece of ice in a bowl

fork. When mixture is thick and
cloudy add the vinegar or lemon juice.

Cook vinegar and water, sugar and

DEAR MISS NOVEL;:
I would like to know II you can help
me. I have . Chinese red dinette suite
which was very expensive and Is prac-
tically new, which believe is Just
about to be ruined. I put some of the
oil cloth scarfs on two Of the pieces
and discovered when I went to replace
the old ones with new that the old
ones stuck to the furniture leaving 1t
in deplorable condition. Please let me
hear from you IS soon as possible.
MRS. J. M. H.
Answer-Anything in the way Of re-
mover that will dissolve the oil cloth
backing will remove the finish on
your furniture. There is only one
suggestion that I can give you. Some
times oil or grease will soften 1t so
that 1t may be peeled of. You might
try pure olive oil, mineral oil or lard
pat 1t on with soft cotton, let it stand
for an hour and then with dull knife
and clean cloth see if you can lift
of the substance. If that does not
work you will have to have the tops
refinished. As your furniture is new
and valuable it will be worth having
the work done by an expert-and
though it is most unfortunate that the
accident happened. it can be remedied.
I shall be interested to know If you
are successful
DEAR MISS NOVEL;:
I wonder if there is some way to
soundproof a bathroom? When one
OF the family runs tub late at night
it wakes the whole family. Is there
paint or something that would
deaden sound? Our bathroom is tile
about half way up and painted the
rest Of the way
Here is another question. I have
seen some grand jobs Of water color
paint applied over paper However,
I have heard that If it is desired to
use wall paper again over the painted
surface it presents difficulties. Do
you know whether the painted walls
would take" wall paper or whether
everything would have to be removed? !?
Thank you. H. S. P.
Answer
do not know of any paint that
has any soundproofing qualities. Most
Of the effective devices are in the
nature Of wall boarding or packing
that Is placed between the partitions.
1t is possible that you might line
the upper part of your bathroom walls
with soundproofing material that
might help. but you would still have
the noise of the water pounding into
the tub. You might call, for informa-
ton and estimates, one OF the msu-
