Ore., — (U.R)—With the approach of the bathing season, which l will arrive soon in view of etty'iy spring I in the Pacific Northwest. Flappers and others are again wondering how much II to cover up. This annual worry is somewhat complicated in both Portland and Seattle by the fact that laws specify one thing and general custom another. A bathing suit ordinance of Seattle insists that bathing suits reach the knees. Not to be outdone, and probably because of the ancient controversy between Portland and Seattle, the former city went a couple of steps further. Portland's laws says that not only must bathing suits reach the knees but must reach the neck as well. However. the Portland ordinance is liberal in that it specifies that the covered state of being while bathing is effective between the hours of" 6 a. m. and 8 p. m.” But the fair bathers are not worring for no one ever heard of either the Seattle or Portland ordinance being enforced Then there is a lot of night swimming done in Portland, anyway.

Davis Cup play this year will bring together more tennis playing nations than ever before. Competition among the teams which are fighting for a place In the challenge round will be keener than ever. Some nations which have not figured strongly in the past threaten to be dangerous contenders in" the next two months. There will be little competition in the American zone until the United Sates meets Ja>pan hr the finals. But in the European zone, the shooting starts in the opening round. One of the most important matches abroad will he that between the Argentine and Great Britain. The Argentine team, which was named the other day. will be Ronald Boyd, G. Robson. A. H. Cattaruzza and C. Mor»a The first three named staTred in England two summers ago, and representatives of the British Isles are looking forward to no easy time in getting past the South Americans. Robinson and Cattaruzza who the doubles championship,of London at the Queen's Club courts and Cattaruzza met and defeated Boyd in the finals of the sitrgls. The Argentinians are said to have improved greatly in the ensuing twoyears, in which case it is quite possible that the opening round of Davis Cup play will witness the elimination of the British Isles, and unprecedented event. Germany Is considered the “dark horse” of the European zone, and after defeating Greece, which should not be difficult, the Germans will meet the winners of the Chile-Spain match. The Chilians have not the flair for tennis displayed by the Argentinians, and Spain should meet the Germans. The Austrians play the strong Italian team in this same half of the drawwhile the Belgians meet the Rumanians. It will be seen from this that most of the strength in the European zone is concentrated—by chance — in the upper brackets. Downstairs, there are few dangerous contenders. Perhaps the strongest are the South Africans, the New Zealanders and the Austrians, not a formidable lot of tennis players. Favorites in the upper brackets are Australians, who are challenging this season with a time which comprises a nice balance of experience and youth. I Not every tennis playing nation has a team in competition this year. Egypt will challenge in 1929. Among the good Egyptian players is Wahid, who competed in the singles of the All Comers Championships at Wimbledon last season. Interest in ten-

nis has increased in Egype to an unusual digi'f. and tile Egyptian Lawn Tennis Association is planning an important tournament at Carlo to which soce of the world's foremost players have been invited. The famous French trio, Borotra. Brugnon and Boussus, were to have entered, but they have been ordered home for a rest. —o COURT HOUSE Want Will Construed Albert I).
