Action Is Quite Legal.

This action is quite legal and saves a
lot Of time, besides WhiCn il Is one from
which the player cannot conceiva0ly
derive any advantage. In the case Of
scme London clubs whose courses are
very muddy in winter time, with the
result that the ball frequently arrives
on the putung-graen in a state quite
unfit for putting. local rule has been
established 20 the effect that the player
may pick il up and wipe the mud of it.
so as to give him a fair chance with
his putter.
Now a case has arisen in which a
golfer, when he did this. took the op-
portunity of putting down another ball.
II Is not alleged that on this particular
occasion he did so because he preferred
the second ball for putting purposes,
but II is well known that some balls
are better TO putt with than others, and
that the ball that is best for driving
and the long game generally is not by
any means always the best bali for put
ting. Therefore, there Is a very strong
Inference that the ball may have been
changed for this reason. and if the prac-
tice were legal it might always be
changed because OF II.

AUTO AMBULANCE.

Washington, Feb. Sit was stated
on good authority that the war depart
ment would probably buy several mo-
tor ambulances. A vehicle of this
type was recently purchased from an
Ohio concern and has been subjected
to trials by the medical department of
the army The officers have pronounced
the ambulance OF great value, although
they are of the opinion that some
changes lin the arrangement and equip
ment of the vehicles should be made.
1t is understood that these ambulances
will be used in the field, and in case
OF war, will be attached to every bri-
gade hospital One of the principal
advantages. OF these vehicles is their
speed and the fact that they do not re-
quire horses. 1t is admitted, however,
that there. will probably be always times
and places where the auto-ambuIance
will not be able to take the place OF
the ambulance drawn by horses. The
medical officers who have been exam
inirlg the motor ambulance say that
there will be no great difficulty in max
ing the required changes in the ambu-
lanceS.

After it has gone into effect it is to
remain the rate for three years. Dur
ing this time, opinion has been expressed
by those who have participated in the
debate d, that the rate may also be re-
viewed by the courts and if found
to be in conflict with the terms of the
act or with the constitution by being
conhscatory, can be set aside by the
courts.

NORTHWESTERN INTERESTED
IN ABERDEEN LOTS

Aberdeen, S, D., Feb SIT has just
leaked out that the Northwestern rail-.
road, through local real estate man,
IS engaged in buying up the property
along the south half of the several
blocks of which the Great Northern re-
Gently bought the north half. the aim
being to also secure down town STA
ton. AT the time the Great Northern
secured an option ON the lots it subse-
quently purchased, extending along the
south side of railroad avenue from its
present station to the Park Place hotel
the Northwestern had the same prop
erty in view. The Great Northern
right of way agent won out, however,
and now the Northwestern seeks to Sc
cure the other half of the blocks. facing
on the north half of First avenue. AL
ready options have been secured on part
of the property, and it is probable it
will succeed in its efforts. Old timers
view the anxiety of the Northwestern to
secure a down town station in Aber-
deem with a great deal of interest, al
though without the slightest i'll feeling.
They recall that when Aberdeen was a
young and struggling town. quarter
Of century ago the Northwestern re-
fused to stop its trains at Aberdeen, and
visitors to this town over the North
western were carried by to >the next
station nine miles away. and were then
forced to hire livery rig to get back
to Aberdeen. But that was a quarter
of century ago, and the road and the
town have both grown since then, and
are now good friends as well.

RUSSIAN LAND PROBLEM.

one Of the grave problems that con-
fronts the Russian parliament Is the
division OF the crown lands among the
psasants. There ID little hope for up
building the masses unless some plan
Tor making them individual owners Of
land 10 devised. One OF the methods
su9gested IL to take the millions Of
sores that belong to the crown and to
the imperial family and to the church
ana the untitled acres belonging to the,
nobility and work out a proposition
whereby the landless peasants may
obtain a means OF Subsistence and
eventually become the owners Of the
soil they till. II ID difficult for an
American to comprehend the condi-
tion that obtains in country where
countless acres Of land held by the
government are not distributed after
the manner that has made homes and
Aomesteads possible for the American
pioneer who has settled in the vacant
government lands Of the west.
