Working under cover the U. S. Department of Justice sped Forest Harness to Greece as a special assistant attorney general to help press for extradition through diplomatic channels. Last week in Athens Mr. Harness firmly declared that the Greek Court of Appeals had no right to pass on the substance of the Insull indictment but only upon the legal regularity of the extradition request. In his pocket was a warrant signed by President Roosevelt for the arrest of Fugitive Insull whom Forest Harness was ready to escort home like any common crook...
Unlike tennis in England, where the world's championship at Wimbledon is the one great tournament of the year, tennis in the U. S. progresses through a series of increasingly important invitation tournaments to the grand finale of the Men's Singles Championship at Forest Hills. By last week, U. S. tennis had reached its semi-final stage: the last round of the women's singles, at Forest Hills, and the men's doubles championship, on the grounds of the Longwood Cricket Club at Brookline, Mass...
...Forest Hills, the stanch disinclination of a slim British Sunday-school teacher to play on Sunday, and four days of rain, had delayed the tournament a full week. When sturdy Helen Jacobs, whose muscles were as solid as her opponent's convictions, finally took the court against Dorothy Round, who had beaten her twice in England and even won a set from Helen Wills, the slow moist turf made a perfect surface for the slow, sly Jacobs chops.

It did not stop with providing a 40-hr, maximum week (extensible to 48 hr. at seasonal peaks) and wages of 40? an hour. It provided that the industry should undertake forest conservation measures (details to be worked out in co-operation with the Administration). Biggest of all it set up a "Lumber Code Authority Inc." which will 1) estimate consumption, work out production quotas; 2) set minimum prices so that no lumber products may be sold below cost. Dr. Wilson Compton, manager of the National...
...drawing rooms and porches of leafy Lake Forest, Ill. talked of nothing but polo last week and eight thick-wristed, sunburned guests-of-honor had lots to say to each other when they met. Week before, the four best players that swanky Eastern polo could produce had been ridden groggy by a hard-hitting, hell-for-leather Western four, beaten in the first of three games, 15 to 11 (TIME, Aug. 21). Since he became a 10-goal player in 1922 the East's Captain Thomas Hitchcock had never been challenged on a field as the West...
