In the constant search for a breath of fresh air, took dinner

It is a long motor trip from down-town New York, so we
were late for dinner, but many were still lingering at the
tables on the terrace overlooking the Hudson river, and open

not a cool one, and it was

The national tennii championships have started over at
Forest Hills, Long Island, and
are on this week, we decided again to ignore the heat, and have
look, at two of the greatest
amateur ranks, Donald Budge of Los Angeles, and Baron
Gottfried von Cramra of Germany. " .
Both were seeded of course
it was interesting to see how
their temperaments and techniques.
Budge came on first, his
muscular young man in short
the name of Winslow. The latter naturally enoueh wns verv
norvous, at the start, so muoh
racquet. His stalwart little body
and his shorta, spotlessly white, but his raoquet kept slipping
in his wet hand. To prevent this, he proceeded to pat his
hand on the spots of dirt that appear in the turf, then wiped
his hand on the right leg of his shorts. As a result it wasn't
long before that portion of his costume, was brown and caked
with mother earth, so he had to find a wiping-off area higher up
However, he did his best, and grabbed off nearly a dozen
games in the 3 straight sets.
The Baron's young opponent, A. L. Jarvis of Williams col
lege on the other hand, showed no signs of nervousness, and
instead of using hi trouser legs he carried a towel at his waist.
He was as cool as an Eskimo pie from the start, and went his
own sweet way, obviously not at all impressed either by the
fame or the title of his distinguished opponent, It was amusing
to see him Bfter every change of oourt, make a bee line for the
chair, near the referee's post and plop down in it, as he grabbed
a Turkish towel and proceeded to mop his neck and face. In
doing so he always had to turn his Wk on the baron, who
never sat down during the match, but with a brief mop of his
brow, walked leisurely from court to court, often having' to
wait for the young U. S. oollegian, to get on his mark.
We have an Idea this wasn't strictly speaking according to
Hoyle, but if our judgment of Jarvis is correct, he is the
American type, that will never be greatly concerned with draw
ing room red tape. He was in there to do his durndest, and
if he found any shortcuts, not oontrary to the rule book, he
was not going to pass them nj
The Baron like his U. S. rival, won in straight sets, but
he had to work much harder, and at one point it looked as if
he might drop a set. This young boy from Williams, has a
real oannonball service, scoring at least a dozen aces in the
match. In faot he seldom scored in any other way. In the
final set, be won his service at love, then broke into the baron's
service and for the first time was in the lead at 2-0. The gal
leries started to wake up but it proved to be only a brief burst
for Jarvis started to net the first shot of his serve, and his
second ball, merely a weak spinner, the German ace could
easily handle.
However we shall at this point make a prediction about
young Jarvis. He is going to be heard from in the tennis
world, aud we shall not be surprised if he eventually becomes
"TOPS". For as we dope it out he has what it takes, a
wonderful physique (he's tall and rangy), a game fundamen
tally sound, and th "killing instinot." (It might be noted in
this connection that only a few years ago, Donald Budge was
playing here at Forest Hills, the role now played by Jarvis a
promising kid to give the big boys a fast workout.)
That "killing instinct" is particularly important, and we
should say that explains why red-headed Budge, is at the top
of world tennis and Baron von Cramm isn't. Transfer their
respective temperaments, and their positions would be reversed.
In fact we would say the German star, is a deeper student of
the game, and more' perfect stylist, than the Californian, but
he lacks fire and fiijht. In the last analysis, it is probably
merely a matter of glandular development. R. W. R.

other poet, Wat

"wnat s iu - go

It seems that those who haven't
noble ancestry to boast about are In
cllned to sneer at Inheritance. On
the other hand those who have It
generally have nothing else to boast
about.
Transmlssable or heritable char
acters or traits that tend to Im
prove the race were called "eugenic"
by Sir Francis Gal ton, and from Gal
ton's term came the now familiar
study of eugenics. Gallon's theory
was that the individual's parents
each contribute an average of 00 per
cent . of the total Inherited char
acters, each grandparent 35 per cent.
and each great-grand -pare at, 12 Mi
per cent, and so on as far back as
you have a mind to go.
Gregor Mendel, an Austrian monK,
who was born In 1623 (the same
date as the birth of Gal ton In Eng
land) experimented In his garden,
breeding peas, and out of this re
search developed the now famous
Mendeltan theory or "law" of in
heritance. According to Mendel's
theory or law the protoplasm of the
germ-cells, the parent cells, that Is,
the ovum or egg contributed by the
female parent aud the spermatazoon
or fertilising element contributed by
the male parent, contains the deter
mining factors of height, color and
other characters, these determining
factors being called "genes."
Eugenlsts conceive the genes as
existing In pairs one of each pair
coming from the mother, one from
the father In series like the beads
of a necklace,' In the chromatin ma
terial In the nucleus of the germ-
cell. The genes are immortal. Thru
them Ufa goes on and on thru
countless generations.
Alas, these cunning little genes In
the nucleus or heart of the im
mortal germ-plasm, the fertilized
ovum, do not give rise to absolutely
unvarying characteristics In the de
scendant. In the production of any

Sixth has, for the most of Its exist

barrel of apples. First, the Infsmotis

later the iniquities of Bryant Pork,

Myasthenia
Tour reply to my inquiry about
myasthenia when I wrote a year ago.
At the time my husband was receiv
ing glycerin. Later he was given pros
tlgmln by mouth. In four months
he has improved wonderfully on this.
He takes two proatlgmln tablets three
times a day. This new remedy should
be a great boon to sufferers from
myasthenia. Mrs. W. J. L,
Answer Thank you. Myasthenia
gravis Is a chronic progressive mus
cular weakness, beginning usually In
muscles of the face and throat, but
wl thout accompanying atrophy or
wasting of the muscles. Prostigrnln,
according to Bulletin of Neurological
Institute, Dec, 1935, cases have been
restored to health by this medicine
administered orally over a period of
several months. -
Eye Wash.
Is It borax or boraclc acid that Is
used for eye wash, and what
strength? -L. O. O.
Answer Rounded ta spoonful borlo
(formerly called boraclc) acid In pint
of boiled water which contains also
a rounded teaspoon ful common aalt.
This may be used freely as desired,
in eye wash, or as drops in tne eye,
being mildly antiseptic, non-lrrltat-lng.
It should be made up fresh and
used agreeably warm.
, Night Work
I work nights and have trouble
keeping awake. How about taking
something to keep me awake? What
do you suggest? W. R. O.
Answer More physical work, mus
cular work or play a man does, the
longer hours of sleep he needs. Se
dentary folk require less sleep. Try
cup or two of coffee with midnight:
