1T has come to the attention

going by the name Of Rev. Will

Life and Death Obligations

Every man has two vital eco
nomic duties. One is to provide
financial security for his family
in the event of his death. The
ythcr is TO provide financial Sc
curity for himself if he lives
past the years Of his earning
power.
There arc a number Of ways
in which these goals may be
reached. If you are one Of those
rare persons with large earnings
you ca set aside adequate a.
mounts. Or you may put your
trust in investments which may
or may not prove valuable.
However for the average man
there is but one way the goals
may be reached. That is the life
insurance way BY putting aside
small amount PERIODICALLY dur
in the years of maximum earn
ing power you assure for your
self q sizeable amount when
those years arc over.
1t is q tribute to American
thrift foresight and selfreliance
that some 60,000,000 citizens
have chosen the life insurance
method of providing security.

Along Elm Street
By Capt. D. J. GILNER - GREENSBORO, N. C.
y Capt. D. j. GILNER

The southern states of the
United States were once sus-
pected of lack of full and ready
patriotism. But that was all
wrong. By scientific proof the
South is as loyal to American
arms as any other part of the
United States. And along Elm
Street, Greensboro, N. c., a
cemetary there holds the hearts
of thousands of Negroes in many
parts of the United States-and
in West Virginia there are
many men and women whose
parents are sleeping in the old
cemetary along Elm Street -
land where our fathers died.
Cemeteries are yardsticks by
which patriotic fervor of tire
soul is measured. Israel on his
death-bed had his son Joseph
swar to him that he would not
bury his in Egypt but in his
native land with his fathers.
Who was it in a great battle
in this country shouted for vic
tory in "The flag is still there "
Land where our fathers died.
Don't ever muster into al
army soldier to fight for oul
country whose parents are bur
eel elsewhere, for the reason that
nature controls a big per cent.

Bobby Riggs, Alice Marble Favored
 To Hold Titles
By Art Krenz
BY JACK GUENTHER United Press Staff Correspondent

Forest Hills, N. Y, Sept. 9-(UP) A tough little trouper whose eyes are cooked on bucket of profess sional gold and a slim blond who swings her racket as a woodSman swings his ax gambled their Ameri- can tennis titles today against the power of a rising rookie and the precision of 8 fading immortal.
 On one side it was Robert Riggs of Chicago, a cocky ex-Californian who rose from the obscurity of the public courts, defending the mems crown against the newest of many famed players who have emerged from the great southweast-Don McNeill of Oklahoma City.
 On the other it was Alice Marble of Los Angeles, a girl who is riding one of the most impressive victory streaks of all time, defending the women's championship against a fabled figure who refuses to admit that her star is slowly setting - Helen Hull Jacobs of Berkeley. Same People
 This was almost exactly the same cast that met in the finals of the 1 same tournament here in the steep-banked stadium at Forest Hills a year ago, and both the reigning title-holders were solid favorites to make their gambles good and remain at the top for at least one more season. Of the four McNeill was the only player who failed to reach the final round in 1889.
 The survivors attained their posi- tions before 12,000 fans yesterday, and only Miss Marble-who hasn't lost single set in the tournament did it without being forced into an uphill fight. Each of the others was extended to extra sets by oppo- nents who proved more formidable than their regulations. Here is how the four of them won:
 Riggs, the current mems king, who is expected to abdicate shortly in favor of a transforming tour with Donald Budge, was forced to five sets to conquer tow-headed Joe 
 Hunt of Annapolis, 4-6, 6-3, ST, 6-3, GA.
 McNeill = the comparative new conner from Oklahoma, who has played the most consistently good tennis of any man in the series. started strong against Jack Kramer of Belvedere Gardens. Calif., but encountered unexpected stubborness before he could win, 6-1, 5-7, GA, GA.
 Miss Marble-the two-time wo- mems queen, an odds-on choice be- fore the tournament even started, defeated Valerie Scott of England, 6-3, 6-3, but not before the dark haired invader gave her work -out.
 Miss Jacobs, again the second of Americas two famous Helens, was off to a shaky start before she could steady herself and eliminate the only other internationalist remaining in the running, Mary Hardwick of England, 2-6, 6-1, 6-4.

RIZZO CHAMP TWO
 INNING H. R, HITTER

With Johnny Mize noisily smash ing all National league home run production records of the past dec ade and pointing towards the all- time fame zone of Babe Ruth and Hack Wilson, rival long-rangers must tackle speciality acts in order to climb into high homer headlines.
 The leading rival of St. Lou's gi- gantic Georgian is another Johnny John Costa Rizzo, of the Philadel- phia Phils, Texas-born Italiano who slugged 5 years in the Texas league on his way up the ladder, mainly for his home town Houston Buffaloes, was batting champ of the Nypa league at Elmira in 1884, and in his freshman National league sea- son, '38, hit g home runs, more hom- CTS than any of the bygone Pitts burgh heroes had crowded into any one season in half-century of Pi- rate history.
 This year John is cleanup man in the Phillies' batting order. All Aug ust he kept knocking baseballs out of sight at rapid rate. Reaching the brink of September, Rizzo found himself second onl yto Mize among National league homer-hitters but second by more than a dozen hon. ers' margin, too high a hill to climb in the seasons final month.
 So as the Phils start their annual trick of jamming traffic among the September drive contenders, Rizzo is concentrating on clinching his own speciality title, the 1940 consecutive inning homer pairing championship. Three times so far this year the swarthy pill-pounder of the Quaker towners has trumped his own homer with another in the very next heat.
