...fortnight in which five tournaments (men's and women's singles, men's, women's and mixed doubles) are played simultaneously before well-mannered, tennis-wise London crowds who stand in queues all night for tickets, drink tea and ginger beer under the old green stands between matches. Last week, 128 of the world's ablest tennists were entered in the men's singles.

...city of Waukegan whose merchants claim $125,000 annual business from local marriage mills, the week brought an end to their role of Illinois' Gretna Green. Illinois quick-marriage business will go to neighboring States. but not to Wisconsin, which already required Wasserman tests of males and which last week extended the requirement to females. As if Illinois' antivenereal restrictions weren't enough the State this week awaited its Governor's signature to a law requiring posting of three days' notice of intent...
