The most surprising result at Wimbledon this year was the defeat of Henri Cohet, the famous French player, who won the Championship in 1927 and 1929. His opponent was Nigel Sharpe, who won 6-1; 0-3; 6-2. Cochet has been unwall and did not play in the French Championships recently. A picture of Cochet in play-(Times copyright)."

A REVOLUTIONARY DISCOVERY
The Gas Industry now offers you The New Thermal Storage Method of heating water. This brings steaming hot water to every hot tap in your house, whenever you want it. And at aromarkably low cost.
"At a remarkably low cost"--that is the special advantage of this new system. The hot water storage tank and the gas heater form one complete unit. The storage tank is like a large thermos flask. It is so perfectly insulated that water once heated up loses hardly any heat. Therefore only a tiny glimmer of gas is needed to keep it steaming hot.
This new heater is automatic in action. There is not the slightest work to do. You light it and leave it to look after itself, safe and certain, day and night. It turns up the gas when water needs heating, and turns it down when the water is hot, You must learn more about this revolutionary discovery, Visit our showroom or write for further particulare.
