Vermont:
Golf has become SO popular that
1t is mixed up with everything. You

any relation to taxicabs and music.
would you? But the other day,
apropos of taxicabs. a New York
man told me that all the golf sticks
of New York were becoming wry-
necked. New York golf players, he
explained. ride to the ferries in taxi
cabs, and their sticks get wry-neck-
ed from twisting round to watch
the dimes mount UP on the taxi
metre.
Then, on the way to the next
hole, our talk turned to grand opera,
and the New York man declared that
the other day his baby daughter. TAX

to a group Of quarter-notes and said:
Papa, how does one play those

In speech before the American
