Good Will OF Our Warship Flag.

GOOD Will OF Our WarAhip Flag.
During one week recently while our
cruising fleet was keeping dates with
the cities along the Mediterranean tho
American flag floating over an Amer
kan warship was receiving and deliv-
trins messages OF good Will IN ap-
proXimattly score Of foreign ports.
After entering the Mediterranean the
Atlantic fleet was divided into sec
tionS and In this way became repre-
sented almost simultaneously In ports
belonging to Great Britain, France,
Greece. Turkey. Italy and Algeria.
These ports included Athens, Smyrna,
Constantinople. Malta. Nice and Mar

five Of our ships We're In foreign ports
| south Of US and several were dis
tributcd In Asiatic waters. The time
has been when this wide ranging Of
our flag would not have been noticea-
BILE. for it was common In every zone
above and below the equator flying
| from the masts OF Yankee trading
ships. Perhaps there was less senti-
mcnt at work among those who be-
held and those who followed the flag
as an index OF commercial enterprise
than this unique naval display arous-
ed. In both cases the flag bore a
| message Of peace and good will. And
surely 1t has been none the less I'm
prcssive In these last days floating
from the flagpole Of man-Of-war
The ranging warship has ceased to be
the symbol OF hostile feeling. The
cruise now ending proves that 1t may
go so far In the other direction as to
be the harbinger OF friendship.

Boston Committee Would Have Thorn

To solve the problem Of what to do
with the. 100000 surplus spinsters and
widows Of Massachusetts threescore
prominent business and professional
women Of Boston and vicinity have
formed an organization for the pur-
pose Of getting state aid in purchasing
small tracts Of land near large cities
where women can engage in profitable
agricultural enterprises
The Women's Massachusetts Home
stead association plans to have these
women take up the cultivation OF small
plots Of land and raise flowers. herbs,
plants, mushrooms, strawberries, vege.
tables, squads, chickens, bees and pigs.
If the state Is not willing to furnish
the land free the association asks that
it take mortgage on land bought
by philanthropists, develop 1t, build
cheap, comfortable homes on It and
then furnish the necessary implements
for cultivating the soil.
A wealthy New York woman has be-
come interested in the project, and It
is announced that she is going to Mas
sachusetts in June to investigate and
that she will spend 100000 to $780,
600 If the cause appeals to her.

TAFT As A GOLFER.

"A Walk Around the Golf Links With
Him Acts as q Tonic-Plays With
Patience and With Never Break Ia
Temper.
OF course the real reason President
William 81. Taft plays golf is because
it's golf. and, II you don't believe that,
just arrange to have little talk with
him after he has played good win
ming game and then try one after he
has lost. Mention golf casually and
see what happens. You will always
have the Taft sunshine. for that is
never dimmed. but If things have gone
wrong on the links you will catch q
shadow or two between smiles.
recall one evening in the Taft cot
tage at Hot Springs, Va. Mr.. Taft
was stretched out In a comfortable
armchair before big log fire. He had
just come in from his worst game on
the Hot Springs course and was still in
his golf clothes. he looked solemnly
at himself for few seconds, then at
the blaze.
"Well," said he finally. 1--WE played
golf for ten years or more. and know
at last that I'm a dub-a-dub, pure and
simple"
The plaint was none the less genuine
II It did run into hearty laugh.
On the other hand, there was an oc-
casion at Augusta when it would have
been cruel even to have suggested the
memory of this Hot Springs confess
sion. That was when Mr. Taft did the
course in lightweight, making a new
record for himself.
The news Of his feat preceded him,
and as he left the golf grounds sew
eral Of his friends stepped up to con-
graduate him.
Back, back; don't touch meP' said
he, with mock superiority. Then he
smiled his broadcast and confessed that
It was his happiest day in Augusta.
That night before 200 members Of the
Augusta chamber of commerce he adj
mitted he had a ''swelled head" over
the score. adding in a spirit Of fun
that he didn't know whether he won. d
rather have made that record or been
elected president Of the United States.
Under ordinary circumstances, though,
Mr.. Taft is very modest golfer. He
would rather surprise than disappoint
his friends. He is the first man who
has ever been brave enough to admit
that he plays golf 'bumblepuppy." He
was speaking Of a talk he had had
with Jerome D. Trayers. the amateur.
1--WE talked" said Mr.. Taft, '.of such
things as would suggest themselves to
an expert and man who plays bum
blepuppy."
The next day all the newspapers had
footnotes explaining what humble
puppy is. Now the word goes pranc.
ing over the links in company with
"mollycoddle." and every golfer has
come to admit that at one time or 9TH
er he belonged to the "bumble" breed
Of CANNES.
A walk around the golf links with
Mr.. Taft is a tonic. He COLTS in the
same way that he does everything
else-with patience and the best of ma
ture. He let's his opponents sputter
and explode, but plods on himself from
the first green to the last with never a
break in temper and with Taft laugh
always on tap.-E. A. Fowler In April
