Return of Service must I be, above 'all, STEADY and SURE. | Careless error in playing the return is as bad as a double fault on your own service. It is no more 'than handicapping yourself just so many points. It is folly to attempt to blindly "kill" your return of ser- vice; play it safe and deep to the base line. If your opponent's serve is such that you can play a forcing shot, play the return hard into eith- er corner. Sacrifice speed for steadiness and accuracy. Make up your mind before the opponent hits his service, just where you will place the shot, You have the following choices In the right court--(ball to your forehand). (a) Straight sideline shot to op- ponents backhand. (b)' Crosscourt ent's forehand. ~(ball to your backhand) (a) Crosscourt shot to opponent's forehand. (b).

With this basis to work upon, therefore, it. is considered likely by those who are in close touch with the situation that some com- promise will be arrived at bhe- tween the contractors ond the leaders of the unemployed, where- by the work will be continued, by manual labor, until the city limits are reached, Chief of Police Friend was in close touch with tht situation this morning during the demonstra- tion of the' unemployed citizens and at no time was there any danger of the crowd getting out of hand or even anything ap- proaching unseemly conduct in the ranks of the men. The chief also interviewed Mr. Hyland and strongly advised that the trench- ing machine be taken outside the city limits.

QUEER PUZZLES IN NATIONALITY SEEN Problems Found in Colony - of League of Nations Workers London: -- The song ahout the Argentines, the Portgyese, the Armenians -- and the Greeks-- has come true here, where there are two hundred children virtual- ly living without a country. They are the offspring of par- ents of fifty-four nationalities-- people engaged in the work of the League of Nations who have formed a strange colony here-- and some of the babies can prat- tle in five languages! The oldest is as old as the League. The youngest was born yesterday, and during the next few months he will be trying to understand life with the assist- ance of fifty-four different ton- gues, Some Mixtures Members of all the foreign del- egations have inter-married, and there are some amazing mixtures. In fact there is 'scarcely a par- ént who could answer his son if he asked: "What shall I do in the next great war, daddy?" One man, a Briton, who was born at Capetown of an English father and a Danish mother, was educated in France and carried on a diplomatic career in Viadiv- ostok and Hong-Kong, came to Geneva and married an Italian. Now a son has been born, What is he? A Galician newspaper corres- pondent, naturalised British, can. not speak a word of English, al- though he married an Australian girl in the colony---but his five- year-old daughter can answer him back in five languages, The prize League baby is the gon of Chinese.and a: Frenchwo- man, His father's tongue is just so much Chinese to him but he can rattle off "baby talk" in French, Italian, English and Ger- man, te a : "Another Boy, whose parents ar- rived hera five years ago. from New York, can already speak English and French with a strong Geneva-American accent. "'Oul monsieur; oh, yeah?" While their parents are at their desks in the peace palace grinding out reports. on arma. ments, economics, and narcotics, these children are singing, shout- ing, playing games and fighting in- fifty-four different languages.

Under Protest The affected men are now work- ing under protest and anxiously await the result of negotiations between union officials and pri- vate contractors, particularly those engaged on the Canadian National Railways terminal pro- Ject. . The new rates were announced by the Builders' Exchange, an or- ganization of building contractors and went into force on July 15. Changes for carpenters are made from 85 cents an hour to 70 cents, for bricklayers, from $1.20 an hour to $1.00 and for stationary engineers, from 85 cents an hour to 60 cents, Dealing more particularly with the C.N.R. terminal project, P, Lefebvre said that the money had been voted for the work before the present period of economic depression had affected Montreal. "Why should the contractors take advantage of an abnormal situa- tion to help line their own pock- ets?" he asked. 'The men had been guaranteed so much per heur, why has the pledge been broken?" he added. "The workmen will not accept the cut, our patience has been ex- hausted and so has our purses. We cannot go ahead under such oppression. It is a crime against humanity, and we have suffered too much to withstand any more indignities. Unless these wages reduction are withdrawn, we will take a general vote for a strike in protest." The Council unanfmously a- dopted a resolution of protest against the wage cuts and to-day forwarded copies of the resolu- tion to Premier Bennett, the Min- ister of Labor, the Minister of Railways and Canals and to the secretary of the Builders' Ex- change. Spending Power A. Cuppelo said that any form of reduction in wages at this time would mean suicide to the work- ers: 'On every side financial heads of the world enjoin every- body to spend as much as they can, yet no attempt is made to see that the spending power of the people is maintained," he said. "The work now in hand has been contracted for some time and on a basis of wages in force when the contract was signed; why should they hold back for themselves the difference between the proposed cut and the regular wages?" He accused the Builders' Ex- change of trying to rule the city in regard to wages in construc- tion work, and characterized their efforts as 'unpatriotic, and a dis- grace to civilization." These opin. fons were shared by Richard Lynch, who indicated that the offi- cials of the Exchange "did not set the wage scale and certainly had no right to cut wages." A vote was taken in support of the resolution. The result wg unanimous. The meeting also ac- cepted a resolution favoring dis- tribution of copies of the Labor Compensation Law. " PRAIRIE CROPS MAKE PROGRESS Most Areas Report Im- proved Conditions in Week Favorable weather and suffi- cient moisture in most districts, end with no material damage from insects op hail, crops in those areas of the prairie prov- inces not already ruined hy drought, have continued to make satisfactory progress during the past week, states the weekly crop report of the Bank of Montreal.
