A valuable tip to any tennis player with ambition? is the following cable
gram from W’alter L. Pate,,captain of the Davis cup team, to Holcombe
Ward, president of the U. S._ L. T. on winning* the Davis cup; “Many
thanks cables. Please emphasize to junior Davis cup squad.s that w’inning
of cup was due to planned attack and aggressive net play based on sound
forcing ground strokes and is only type of play by which we can hope to
retain it.” . . . Speaking of tennis, we see that Helen Wills Mo(Mly, former
world’s, tennis champion, can’t resist the lure of Wimbledonian tennis and
is sailing soon for the big EngliMi tournament . . . Dean Power, playing
number two on the Blue Stocking tennis team last Saturday against Erskine,
defeated his opponent, who had licked him in the state tournament last
year. Tit for tat . . . The ^P. C. varsity net men have so many matches

class at Academy Street school will
sponsor a program on “Safety’ in the

comprise slides shown by the South

cordially invited.
Mr.s. Workman’s ciass has had
“Safety” as their unit for this year

in getting the school childnm “safety

the program.

The selection of Jack Nixon, star guard on the Georgia Tech football
team for the last two years, as assistant football coach at P. €. came as a
distinct surprise to the Chatterboxer. This gives rise to speculation about
tlw coaching arrangement next year at P. C. Coach Johnson, with hia many
duties as athletic director, is devoting less time each year, it seems, to active
coaching. j

Washington, April 18.—Senator E.
D. Smi^h today asked Secretary of
Agriculture Wallace to issue regula-
tiona which would permit cotton farm
ers to receive subsidy payments im
mediately after planting their 1938
crop, and in so doing release ^ $130,-
000,000 in the cotton belt at a time
when money is scarce.
Under the terms of the Byrnes
amendment to the deficiency bill,
passed last summer, growers were to
receive a three-cent a pound subsidy
after they had demonstrated compli
ance with the 1938 program.
Senator Smith hiu made teveral
efforts by legislation to speed up the
s«d>aidy payments. The cmnptroller
general ruled against the provision
in the new farm bill, and the House
conferees refused to include the
Smith amendment along with the
other AAA amendments recently en
acted. At the time Smith said he
would attempt to put the amend
ment on a rider to the department of
agriculture appropriation bill, yet to
be passed by the Senate. i

they would tell a story of a great American industry ... In 1492 upon
reaching America the Columbus crew noticed natives smoking rolls of
dried tobacco. When the Spaniards landed in Mexico in 1519 natives were
cultivating tobacco with great care and skill. Cartier, upon discovering
Canada, found Indians drying leaves in the sun.
John Rolfe, at Jamestown in 1612, is credited with the culture of to*
bacco, but it actually did not begin in Maryland until 1631.
Tobacco manufacturers have spent millions in scientific research to
improve their products. Utmost care has been taken in the selection of
the right crops. Tobacco industry for many years has used newspaper
advertising to increase sales and put out a better product at lower cost.
Cigarettes and tobacco are no exception to the rule of nationally ad
vertised brands. The national brand with the manufacturer’s name and
trade mark is his guarantee that this product is the best that can be
produced for the money.
