THAT Henry Clay Bridgers, OF
North Carolina can play golf as well
as tennis is proven by his game on
Friday afternoon just before he left

Brooks invited him to play around
the course and Mr.. Bridgers accepted
he liked golf better. AS he started oft
he asked what the record of the course
was and was told that Mr.. Brooks
held the record in 80. We'll, said
Mr.. Bridgers "I'll just make it in IS.
He played the course in 80, missing
oy only six inches the stroke necas-
sary to make his prophecy good. Con-
slderlng the fact that he had never
seen the course before his perform
ance is even more remarkable"

Neglect of Poetry Nowadays Due to
Commercialism.

Edwin Markham. on "rhe slump In
Poetry" in the April Critic.
The reason why poetry nowadays Is
attracting so little attention lies both
In our people and in our poets. Since the
days of Ptah-Hotep, the old Egyptian.
the people have grayitated toward pusl-
ness more than toward beauty.
Our education Is not training in the
creation of beauty and in the love Of
beauty; 1t Is almost wholly a training
In the art of getting on in the world.
