 Despite predictions of learned ec- onomistS and prominent statesmen coming months will bring surprises in the way of international devel- opments. Secrecy will shroud dip lomatic activities.
 Relaxation and recreation are enjoined, but Americans are warn ed that dissipation must be avoid ed if national progress as well as individual prosperity are to be at tained
 Young people should find this a lucky day Girls will have special pleasure in social contacts It is a favorable day for wearing new clothing.
 Winter resorts will profit great ly and desert colonies will flourish Dude ranches are to have a pros porous season.

Confident that a leading anna
teur player will be lured into the
professional fold next year to chal-
lenge the winner, Ellsworth Vines.
Of Pasadena, California. the
worlds professional championship
and. Fred Perry, erstwhile worlds
amateur champion from England
battle it out in a show down
fight to settle the undisputed pro
tennis in match here Feb. 8, con-
tinuing their sizzling feud of the
court that wound up last year with
neither player able to boast al
edge at the conclusion of "a
matches.
Realizing fully that professional
promoters next year will have to
name one of them to play againsl
the amateur champion who joins
lhe troupe, and that the Other
must step down, both Vines anc
Perry are shooting the works in
a determined bid to win recogni-
ton as king of the professional
racket wielders.
Vines won their American tour
last year but when they invaded
England, Perry Waged bitter
struggle to show the home folks
that he was still the Perry of old,
and the EngliShman succeeded il
bringing their grand total Of vie
tories to 81 to 37strange as it may
seem. Perry won of their L,
matches in England, while Vines
won 33 Of 63 matches in America
The English ace is known as one
of the greatest fighters in tennis,
with a magical ability to raise his
game when the going gets toughest.
Perry claims that his tennis has
improved by IS per cent over his
amateur days as the result of hav-
ing to play at top speed in every
match against such a player as
Vines. whereas in his amateur days,
his best tennis was required only
in the final rounds of tourna-
ment.

coaching the fast break in high

Lambert is recognized as the ma

It's all a matter of condition

Some boys can stand more than

I've questioned my players at
