The Morals of Golf.
he New York World

From the New York World
 A question as to the gambling tenden- cies of golf Is raised by correspondent of a London newspaper. His particular accusation is that a stranger at a golf club finds it difficult to get into a match unless he is willing to risk a money wager on the result. It will be remem- bered that a New York golfer was re- gently tried before Justice Gaynor on a charge of violating the anti-gambling law by betting a box of golf balls on the out come of a match.
 The great vogue of golf makes perti- nent consideration of its influence on the morals of players. Is it insidiously breaking down our conventional moral code? Sober citizens who would not think of playing bridge on Sunday hurry away to the links after an early breakfast to take part in matches on which there is frequently considerable stake. Men who would resent the suggestion of playing bridge for money bet ball "out" and a ball 'in," with third ball on the full

Ensley. October 10-(special) lowing to the fact that a number of men have been laid off at the steel mill the rumor has been prevalent that the steel corporation contemplated closing down the plant. This was denied today by an official of the company who stated the lay-off was due to a scarcity of orders, and not to any intention of shutting down, and would only be temporary. The same conditions prevail throughout the country, as many mills north are running short time. While the operative department has been slight ly reduced, not man in the construction department has been laid off. This should set to rest any rumor of shutting down. The indications point to rush of orders when the national election is over.

 Good morning, little grl'' she called out, brightly; did you come to play wiv me?'
 The little girl, who was older and larger than Carol, stared and was dumb
 What's your name, little girl?' Carol proceeded.
 No answer. Are you five?"
 Still no answer.
 Are you six?"
 The child fidgeted and grinned, but re- mained silent, with her finger in her mouth.
 Carol surveyed her. calmly a moment, and then remarked. emphaticaly:
 well, I don't know your name and I don't know how old you are; but do know you aren't very smart for your age."
