FRANCE RULES tennis world Paris July 29.—(U.R)—After successflllly defending the Davis Cup against thf challenge of the United States. France today began Its reign as ruler J Ih e tennis world for the third uphill after loslne the two opening singles matches Fridav. the United States evened the Lie, at two matches each Sunday ’nlv to encounter once more the Lmesis of American tennis hopesHenri Cochet-and lose the final and deciding match. The final score of the series was France three matches nn d the United States two. With the series all even at .wo ma t<hes each, George Lott. Chicago youngster playing his first challenge round, was pitted against Cochet, world's greatest player, in the closing match. Doomed to defeat, the American youngster went down fighting 6-1, 3-6. 6-0. 6-X Closing a dcade of Davis Cup servke William T. Tilden brought the United States on even terms with France by conquering Jean Borotra in the opening singles match Sunday in four sets 4-6. 6-1, 6-4, 7-5. Although Utt’s two defeats in the Angies cost the United States a chance to regain the trophy, there was none today to criticize the play of the young Chicago boy. Rather, the criticism seemed to be directed toward the United States Lawn Tennis Association for failure to play Lott in place of Francis T. Hunter in the interzone finals against Germany, which woud have given the youngster the benefit of added experience—the asset he seems to need more than any other—for the crucial test against France. Lott rose to superb heights to draw even with Cochet at one set all after dropping the first set. Employing a deceptive change of pace which baffled the great Cochet, the young Ameican for a brief span looked as if he might do the well-night impossible, hut the Frenchman recovered in the third set and raced through to a love set victory. Twice in the final set Lott pulled up on even terms with Cochet. but the blond-haired westerner was not quite equal to the task of halting the fiery Frenchman. Tilden redeemed himself somewhat for his defeat at the hands of Cochet on Friday by beating Borotra and staving off the United States defeat until the very last match.

ARTISTS. AUTHORS AGAINST ORT LAW Washingion,July 29 —(UP)—lrvin S I Cobh, noted author, today accepted the chairmanship of the authors and artists committee, composed of 371 writers and artists who volunteered to support the work of the association against the prohibition ammendment. "All of us, nearly, were glud to see tiie licensed Saloon go," Cobb said We didn't anticipate that the unlicensed, untaxed uncontrolled speakeasy would take its place. "The burden of drunkinness has been shifted from one set of shoulder-* to another set of shoulders. While some of the seasoned inebriates of the older generation found their supplies of intoxicants cut down or cut off. a large and growing proportion of amateur alcoholics developed among the younger generation.” Cobb said President Hoover's definition, "A noble experiment," could as well be applied to the San Francisco fire .and the Galveston flood as to prohibition. He said it was believed prohibition would reduce crime and cut down drunkenness, but instead under it there is a new class of criminals more dangerous than those existing befo-e enactment of the law. TRAIN STRIKES AUTO; FOUR DIE Three Persons Crushed To Death;Man On Train Dies Os Heart Trouble Galva, 111., July 29 —(UP) — Three persons were crushed to death and one passenger on the train dropped dead of heart failure today when an East Bound Clflcago, Burlington and Quincy passenger train struck an automobile at a grade crossing here.

Tullsen, managing editor of the Indianapo lis Times, today. Tussen ran hurriedly over the copy and handed it to the news editor with the exclamation: "My God. Man! That’s my sister:” He pointed to the name of Miss Dora Tullsen, a school teacher at Watago, ■’ll., who was instantly killed in the rash.

KEROSENE FIRE FATAL TO TWO Two Women Burned To Death 9nd One Other Is Injured At Warsaw Warsaw, Ind., July 29.—(U.R>—Two elderly women were burned to death and another taken to a hospital in a terious condition today as the result of a fire which practically destroyed x boarding house here. The dead women, Mrs. Sarah Clark, 85, Ada, 0., and her 55-year-old daughter, Eva, Winona Lake, Ind., were burned to death in their rooms, which were located on the second floor of a boarding house.

The wood is dark, hard and very dense, so much so that It readily sinks In water. And as this is what an anchor should do, and it is always cheaper to cut down a tree than smelt Iron from the ore, we must applaud the Intelligent Burmese practice. o Recipe# for the Red Man Revival of the old cooking recipes of the American Indian Is suggested by the Woman’s Home Companion, which starts the ball rolling with tho prescription for "wild duck roasted with yampa." Yampa is a wild vegetable known only to the Indians of Oregon. As a reason for adopting Indian cookery it Is suggested that "those 5-foot red men who used to make whoopee In this country weren't brought up on tea and toast”

Paris July 29 —(UP) —Aristide Briand, new premier of France, completed his task of forming a cabinet today and will tackle the uncompleted task of former Piemier Raymond Poincare with the ministry unchanged Efforts to placate the opposition radical forces by including two of their leaders in the cabinet as ministers without portfolio failed. Edouard Herliot and Edouard Daiadier, leading radicals, were invited to join the cabinet as ministers of state (without portfolio) but a party conference vetoed their acceptance. Herriot previously had accepted Briand’s invitation to join the cabinet subject to his party's approval. He explained that he could join the cabinet only as minister without portfolio, as his duties as mayor of Lyons prevent him from taking full charge of a Ministry. However, a meeting of the radical group was called in the chambtr of deputies to discuss the advisability of Herriot and Daiadier entering the cabinet. Heriot postponed his depart ure for Lyons to attend- The conference vetoed Briand’s offer.

DEATH MYSTERY STILL UNSOLVED Second Week Os Investigation At Columbus, Ind., Starts Today , Columbus, Ind., July 29.—(U.R)— [ The second week of investigation of I this city’s fire death mystery, of i which Mrs. Anna McKevett, 63, was , the victim, opened today with little progress shown in its solution aside from discarding of several theories which had been held- in the case. A grand jury investigation, adjourned last week, was resumed today. William Dobbinn, Bartholomew county prosecuting attorney, in summing up results of the inquiry thus far, said it lias been established definitely that death was not due to suicide, poisoning or acute alcoholism. Officers had said shortly after Mrs McKevett’s death that she was known as a “drinking woman.” A theory that the victim had been strangled was abandoned, a post mortem showing such not the case, it also proved acid had not been poured over the body. Officials have given up hope of getting more information from Arthur McKevett. 53, husband of the victim. He has not been inclined to discuss the case much at any time, and in the last few days lias refused Ito even refer to it. o . No Warship* Purchased No Europeon country has ever built or sold a war vessel to the United States government. The only case where the United States lias had vessels built in a foreign country was that of the Chinese river gunboats, which were built In Chinn, under contract to the United States.
