Before the war, it could be stat- ed with some truth that a boy who entered, the' engineering in- dustry was certain of a living. with the additional · attraction that there was no bar "the at- talament of a high position, in his chosen profession, As a result of successive waves of trade de- pression, however, the industry was largely closed to new en- trants, many of the leading firms refusing to accept ap-. prentices for whom they could sée no prospect of employment on the completion of their time. The parent with 'a mechanically- minded boy was thus faced with a difficult problem, and it is to be feared that all too many of them yielded to the pleadings of their sons, and after a short course of training with some firm of more or less doubtful standing, bought them an interest in a garage. It is difficult otherwise to account for the large number of such businesses controlled by gentlemen of very dubious com- petence and staffed Ave-eighth

atters. It need not, of Cour- ae,"be suggested that all gar- ages are run од these lines, since in some of them the stand- ard of work is comparable with that in the manufactuers' work- shops, but in others it is so low that car owners prefer to be put to considerable inconvenience rat- her than to entrust repair work to an unknown firm.

This state of affairs haa now persisted for a number of years, and as early as 1926, The Institu- tion of Automobile Engineers put forward a provisional scheme for training automobile repairers. With regard to this scheme it may be recalled that it consisted of a five-years' course covering both theoretical and practical work, the schedule for the latter em-" bracing three years spent on re- pair work, with the remaining two years spread over no less than eleven different departments.

The garage business is very generally regarded as the Cinder- ella of the automobile trade, with the result that wages iule much too low for the really high stand- ard of work demanded, and the better class of men tend to move to more highly paid work. As re- gards the actual scheme, put for- ward by the Institution, it ap- pears that short periods spent in a wide variety of shops would tend to produce a Jack of all Trades, rather than a competent workman. It is, nevertheless, greatly to be regretted that the scheme came to nothing, with the result that a position reflecting little credit on the automobile in-* dustry as a whole has been allow. ed to persist until the present time. It may be noted with great satisfaction that the Institution has of Automobile Engineers again taken up the question, but along rather different lines.

THE DAVIS CUP

United States To

Meet Britain

(Special Air Mail Service)

London, July 28. The United States after all will challenge Great Britain for the Davis Cup at the end of the week, for they beat Australia by three matches to two in the Inter-Zone final. which was concluded at Wimbledon yesterday.

hand, too, became more frequent when the stroke had to be made on the run, and he lost his ser- by four vice to let Wood lead games to two. In a few moments his forehand became utterly wild, and though he had volleys and drives with which to save three match-points they came too late, and it was on the forehand that he made the losing stroke.

McGrath had already contri-

Australia, by winning the first two Singles on Saturday, came so near complete success, even when the Doubles were conceded in ad- vance to the other side, but thebuted his share towards an Aus- first condition of its achievement was that JH. Crawford should win two matches: He just failed to do so, though it was a great pity that Tuesday's rain should have caused the 'suspension" of his match the first against S, B. Wood, in place because it had a lot to do

with his losing the second set, and secondly because the task of win- ning three straight sets off Wood on the resumption yesterday, if victory were to be achieved, was really asking too much when there Was 80 little to choose between the two players. Crawford nearly accomplished the impossible in winning two sets, but Wood, play- ing grand lawn tennis, was too good for him in the fifth. There was still a faint hope for the Aus- tralian team until it was seen that V. B. McGrath had not the strokes with which to counter the service and hard driving of F. X. Shields In the last match, Bhieds won al- most as he liked in straight sets, and the United States passed on to their accustomed place in the Challenge, Round.

V Crawford's Rally However much one may commis- erate with Crawford on the wea- ther, the fact remains that Wood played exceptionally well in a match upon the outcome of which depended the last hope of his team: If Crawford had come out of Tuesday's 'storris with the score at one set all his chance would have been so much the stronger, but the handicap of being two sets down to so good a player was too much for him In the end Wood won, as he was almost bound to do in the circumstances by 6-3, 9-7, 4-6, 4-6, 6-2.

During the third and fourth sets yesterday Crawford was the better player but he had no margin for fallure, and Wood, with such a handsome, start, could afford to hide his time until the fifth set. For most of the time indeed, Wood had not the speed and precision. on the backhand with which he delighted us the previous day; those sweeping drives down the line were now out of court or too tentative to pass Crawford, whose volleying now and then had the confidence which accompanies the adequate forcing When Wood drove the ball deep enough, or, for

The Argentine Government have wheat with drawn all offers of and are holding for higher prices. Until just recently Argentine sel ling was one of the chief factors that prevented a rise in the price

Now that the drought threatens world stocks Argentine sees chance of getting batter prices and is refraining from pressing sales.

This should help strengthen the market. Weather conditions in Argentina itself are generally fav ourable to the growing" crops, but elsewhere it continues adverse..

"In North America the nest and drought are still taking a heavy tail of the new crop. Unless rain comes quickly it is estimated that the Canadian yield will only be 2501 million bushels.

two sets he won, unwisely it seem- ed for Wood came near enough to winning each of them and it 'would have been the end of the match-to force Crawford into a worried frame of mind

Each of these sets followed the game course. Crawford led by four games to love and later by Ave games to one, and then, per- haps botherng unduly about who was going to serve first in the next set allowed Wood to creep up to within striking distance. Wood, of course could always go after his man with the happy knowledge of those two sets in hand; as the -rallies became longer he grew steadier until towards the end of the fourth set the players were fighting on level terma- Crawford had missed two points for this set at 6-1 in a game of many deucea and it was only a great ef- fort which won the set two games later.

The Final Set

Now the score was level and Wood sprang into the fight. Craw- ford held him for four games, but"| then was left trailing behind by an adversary who was quicker on his feet and could get into position with that fraction of time to spare which makes all the dif ference between a defense and an attacking stroke. The pace of his service increased, and Craw ford, run 2s he might, could not reach that backhand drive which ended many of the rallies.

Mistakes on Crawford's fore

tralian victory by beating Wood on the first day, and it was really too much to expect from so young a player that he should again pull his team through Shields hit the ball so hard out of reach that Mc- Grath could seldom make a real attempt, Shields winning by B-4. 6-2, 6-4.

It was a poor match compared with the one that had gone be- cause McGrath's strokes were so poorly controlled. Shields, for in- double- stance, could

serve five faults and still win a service game. The best of Mc-Grath was when he was making a stout bid for the lead at four games all in the first set. Then his backhand with the curious grip was a mighty stroke. but for the rest of the "match it failed dismally. Shields, with his long reach, could hit the ball at too wide an angle to give McGrath much chance of getting his racket. to it properly on the backhand. Though McGrath's game contain- ed clever adornments in the way of drop-shota and lobs. It had no adequate foundation of ground shots, and a storming player of Shields's type gave him no time to do anything about it.
