Anderson Is Favored
In Public Net Tourney

CINCINNATI, Aug. IS. Up -
There is a feeling among tennis ex'
perts that anyone winning the Ma
tional Public Parks tennis champion
ship in the tournament opening here
tomorrow will have to beat Willis
Anderson of Los Angeles.
Anderson is the tall, serious. blond
young man who lost the Public
Parks title last year in the opening
round at New York when Lou Fa-
quin of Memphis, Tenn, caught him
by surprise.
No one was ever more intent on
successfully travelling the comeback
trail than the 2~6-year-old Californian,
who sat in the locker room after the
game with the fiery little Tenneseean
and dejectedly told a friend:
"They sent me 5000 miles to win
this tournament and I got beat in
the first round"

WINDSOR, Ont, Aug. 13.-lR-A
midnight explosion during a dance
in the basement grill room of the

two critically.
Clarence J Defields, Windsor
fire chief, said today that the blsst

ed by gas generated by the hotels
transformers, which had been und-
ergoing repairs.
There is no indication of sa.
botage as yet" he declared. Pro-

Although many high Canadian Of

Size OF TOBACCO
LOTS IMPORTANT
Weeks Say 1t Is Advisable To
Divide One When It Is
Over $50 Pounds

RALEIGH, Aug. 1S.-The size
and weight of lots of tobacco Of
fered for sale is important, says
Lloyd T. Weeks, tobacco specialist
OF the State College Extension
Service, and generally speaking it
IS advisable to divide a lot when
1t contains more than $50 pounds.
Very large lots are sometimes
regarded with suspicion" he said.
'Flue-cured tobacco usually var
les so much in quality and color
that very large lots of uniform
quality are exceptional. On the
other hand, very small lots are OBJ
jectionalbe to warehousemen and
buyers, and may be Improbable
to the seller"
In timely advice to tobacco
growers, the State College man
continued: mo definite rule can
be given as to the minimum and
maximum size lot of tobacco that
should be offered for sale. The
size OF the lot will depend upon the
range OF quality, color and length
found in a single curing if proper
ly sorted.
There is no good reason for
thinking that a lot from the same
field and cropping, if properly and
uniformly classed, can be too
large. However, such lots do not
ordinarily exceed 200 to $50
pounds, and larger lots may Gre
ate suspicion as to the uniformity
of the whole, or even suspicion as
to nesting by some INSCRIPTIONS
manipulation.
From the other point of view,
a small basket of tobacco occu-
pies as much floor space as a
large basket, and warehousemen
object to very small lots since
they reduce the poundage that can
be placed on the warehouse floor.
Small lots also may be objection
able to buyers, as each lot must
be checked, weighed, and identi-
led with warehouse accounts l

BULLITT PREDICTS
ATTACK BY HITLER
Ambassador Wants United
States To Send Old De-
stroyers To Britain's Aid

PHILADELPHIA, Aug. 1S.-R-
William C. Bullitt, United States am
bassador to France, declaring that
Hitler will attack this nation if
Great Britain is defeated, urged
Americans tonight to telegraph their
congressman demanding that World
war d~estroyers be sent to England's
aid.
America is in danger" he assert
ed dramatically in a speech at indie
pendence Square. TT is my convic-
ton, drawn from my own experience
and from the information in the
hands of our government in Wash
ington, that the United States is in
as great peril today as was France
a year ago"
AS a safeguard he called on every
one to seek some kind of national
service, demand CONSUMPTION in COM
m~unications to congressman and
tell them we back up" General
John J. Pershing, who has advocated
the release of World war destroyers
for Britain's use.
Built returned recently FIR m
Nazi-conquered France after mar
rowly escaping death in a German
air raid on Paris. He chose his
home city, Philadelphia. for his first
n,,L1io arrroico1 <f tho nj orr,atinna
situation during nearly four years
as ambassador to the French repub-
lie.
His address, sponsored by the
American Philosophical society, was
made before a crowd of several
thousand at the nations historic
cradle of liberty" and broadcast
over two nationwide radio networks
(NBC-CBs).
The people of the United States
must wake up and quickly, Am
bassador Bullitt declared, or suffer
the same fate as France.
1T is as clear as anything on this
earth that the United States will not
go (abroad) to war;" he said, "but
it is equally clear that war is COM
inc. toward the Americas.
"The agents of the dictators are
already here preparing the way for
their armies. They are preparing the
way in the same manner in which
they prepared the way in France"
Bullitt said he could not predict
where or when the blow would fall
but expressed certainty that, if
Great Britain is overwhelmed, "the
attack will come, and that all the
strength of this nation will be needed
if we are to parry it and save
the. independence Of our country"
