that over TOO new signs have
been constructed and set in place during
the past summer season.
There are numerous types of signs
used. The large rustic type shield is
the latest development for placement at
points where major highways enter the
forest. The caution signs use Care

signs felt important for informing the
travelling public. A large percentage
of the signs erected are to direct the
forest users to towns or other important
points. Among these are rustic en-
trance signs and guide signs within
public campgrounds. An entrance sign
is shown below. There are also numer-
Gus signs for prominent lakes and
rivers and information signs for other
points of interest.
All of the signs erected during the
past year were manufactured in sigr

MANY TAKEN OFF OF
UNEMPLOYMENT ROLES

Washington. - The federal re-
serve board estimated this week
that about 100000 persons were
taken off the unemployment lists
last year.
Since the growth of population
put more persons on the jobless
rolls, however, the board added
that the decline in unemployment
probably had been around half
a million, and the number of per-
sons out of work is still large"
In it's monthly bulletin, the
board rated July industrial pro-
duction at about 121 per cent of
the 1859 average. With this
calculation, inaugurated a dras-
tically revised index of factory
output. The boards former in
dex, under which the July figure
would have been 1T, was based
on 1923-25 as a comparative per-
iod.

the clubhouse. He was conscious
of his white flannel coat with it's
red, white and blue SHE'D. It in
spired a certain ease, a confid
ence. He could tell from the way
he was hitting the ball while war
ming up that the tall, well-built
Letenour would have one hell of
a job trying to beat him this
afternoon.
At last they were ready. Stands
hushed, ball boys poised, referee
and linesmen perched forward in
their chairs. Then the high sing
song voice of the referee speak
ing French. But Len knew what
he was saying: Second match in
the Davis Cup Singles. Final
Round. United States versus
France. Mr.. Rollins versus Mr..
Rollins versus Mr. Letenour.
Linesmen ready! Players ready"
Len nodded slightly, Letenour
made no motion.
"Play!"

lives either. They'd all know soon
enough. Everyone would know.
The Stade Roland Cares lies
within the boundaries of Auteuil.
Row upon row of seats reach
from the eight-foot high wall to
the top of the arena. In one corn
er is a huge score board where,
from a tiny platform, the score is
announced through a micophone
to those in the stands. At the op-
posite end of the Stade is the run
way leading into he dressing
rooms. Then entire marquee is
taken up by the courts lined with
white chalk and rolled to the
hard perfection of a billiard table,
Now, from the stands at the
Stade Roland Garros, as Len Roll
Inns gazed out across the mar
quee to where Don Clark and
Henri Lefevre were warming up,
came a constant hum. Men and
women of many nations and from
all walks of life sat side by side
watching intently the two gleam-
ing white-clad figures upon the
court, commenting, gesticulating,
praising.
Henri Lefevre was not the
greatest tennis player the world
had ever known, but he was GER
tainly the greatest volleyer. I'm
firing, quick on his feet, accurate,
and a remarkable recover, he had
reigned supreme for four years.
Against him a point was never
won until he failed to reach the
ball, which was seldom. What ap-
peared to be kill shots when
leaving the racquets of his op-
ponents were converted into
points for Lefevre by his uncanny
ability to get the ball and return
it.
Clark seemed tnse, but Len
knew that he would recover his
poise when the match was under
way. A stray ball came bound
ing toward Clark. He picked it up
and idly tossed it toward Lefevre.
The Frenchman nodded recogni-
ton, smiled, showing white teeth.
They were ready to play at last
and Len turned toward the run
way. Swanstrom did not allow the
later players to watch previous
matches. "Takes too much out of
you," was the captains explana-
ton.
In an hour or an hour and a
half, depending upon the bitter
ness of the struggle out there be-
tween Clark and Lefevre, Len
would meet Letenour. If Clark
could possibly rise to the heights
and defeat Lefevre and if Len
could down Letenour, and then
Hughes and Wheatley could win
tomorrow.
But Clark did not defeat Le-
fevre. The match was over in an
hour and ten minutes. France had
drawn first blood. Lefevre was
victorious, Ga, 6-3, 6-8, 6-3.
The racquet was light and airy

CHAPTER VIII
SYNOPSIS

Len Rollins, tennis ace, dreamed
Of helping win the Davis for
America. Then he fell i'm love
with Grace WOrthington, but
Grace wouldn't marry a man who
regarded tennis as his LIES work.
Len gave up his cherished ambi-
tiOnS-partly because of his love
for Grace, partly because of a
bad injury to his ankle-and they
were married. But when his re-
cOvery was complete he deter
mined to play tennis again and
won a place on the Davis Cup
team. Grace and Len had an auto
mobile accident just as he was to
leave for Europe. Len deter
mined to go-leaving Grace in the
hospital as, he thought, on the
road to recovery. SwanstrOm, the
non-playing captain, had just told
Len and Clark, another Cup play
er, that someone would have to
upset Lefevre to bring back the
Cup.

Grace was through with him,

she wanted a divorce?
But perhaps it was all for the
best. With Richard Whyte she
would be given the opportunity
of returning to her old life a life

BLAST AT POWDER
PLANT in JOPLIN

Joplin, Mo-, August Is. CUP
~ A terrific explosion wrecked the
number one gelatine house of the
Atlas Power plants dynamite di-
vision today.
Five or six. workmen were missing
and feared killed.
The blast occurred at $50 q. m.
(CST) at the. big powder plant
which is about 10 miles east Of here.
Company officials refused to dis
cuss the accidens and there was no
indication as to the cause.
The explosion was heard here.
About 500 men were employed at
the plant, which covers approxi-
mately 1000 acres. It is under
stood that the plant has been work
ing ON war orders for Great Bril-
tain. Since the new orders stepped
up production and increased en-
ployment at the plant the entire
area had been fenced and flood
lights used at night. Three shifts
were employed and o company police
force Of 80 or 10 men patrolled the
ground.
