Major General Frank Parker, now in charge of the 6th Corps Area (Chicago), to command the potent Philippine Department. Dapper, diplomatic General Parker achieved a brilliant War record as commander of the First Division in the Argonne. South Carolina-born and socially inclined, he did much to revive the social life of Chicago's Fort Sheridan. With his wife and one of his daughters, Anne (who was last year voted the most beautiful girl at Smith College), he will sail for Manila next month...
Major General Preston Brown, commander of the Panama Canal, to succeed General Parker in the Chicago area. An efficient "old school" soldier, General Brown is blunt, baldpated, muscular.

Frank Andrew Parker, 17, has been the prodigy of U. S. tennis almost as long as Vincent Richards was. He still emphasizes his youth with peculiar baggy knickerbockers which hang down to his shins. Almost unbeatable on clay, he should be a member of next year's Davis Cup team, think Lott and Vines. Parker's father, Paul Pajowski, is dead. His mother entrusts him to the care of famed Tennis Coach Mercer Beasley, who fervently hopes he will get beyond his present height of 5 ft. 9½in. Beasley's greeting to Parker when...
