But then there is the rules committee.
Some day when we nave lots of time

Football players complain of their

don't have to read explanations of
them in the papers.

Michigan football players are said

An eminent statistician asserts that

Hobble Invades Nations High Court

The person who has precipitated all
this discussion is Adelma H. Burd of
New York. Whel she appeared in
the courtroom and proceeded to take
her seat within the Enclosure reserved
for members of the bar there was a
hasty investigation. 1t did not -eem
likely that woman lawyer who had
attained the dignity of the right to
practise before the Supreme court
would be so swayed by feminine emo
lions as to don a skirt that showed
tendencies toward the hobble idea.
Some of the court officers, as a mat
ter of fact, were not certain In their
own :linds that the hobble feature
was there. That question has not
yet bee answered satisfactorily.
Anyway, Miss Burd was not mo-
Tested. She is likely to go down In
history as the first woman who by
her appearance tefore the Supreme
court proved that her sex can attain
the greatest distinction in store for
attorneys without putting behind 1t
what is regarded as the feminine de-
votion to the dictates of fashion.

UNIQUE DECISIONS IN GOLF
st. Andrews Body Rules Ball Must
Be Played on Where 1t Lays
Query and Answer.

Local golfers are having a few
chuckles over a decision recently
made by the rules committee of the
jst. Andrews body that sets itself up
Us the oracle of golf rulings.
In brief, If your ball lands in the
turned-up portion of your. trousers or
In the rim of your hat, you must play
1t as it lies, says the Chicago Evening
Post. But If the ball were to fall
into the caddy bag when you endeav-
pred to drop it on the fair green, you
may take it out and redrop it.!
The St. Andrews decision, together
with the query about dropped ball
going into play, that prompted the
Scotch club to make the ruling, fol-
lows:
Huntley Hill Golf Club-(1) Pursu-
ant to a local rule. A lifted hts ball
dropping it over his shoulder; the ball
fell into his golf bag, which was
swung over his Shoulder. Was A en-
titled to redrop without penalty. or
should he have played the ball from
out of the bag, saT given up the hole?
Some contend THAI the ball Should be
treated as lodging IN anything nov
Ing" rule I'D. (2) Is there any diff
ference in principle between ball
played into the turnedup part of the
trousers which the player is wearing
and ball dropping :nto golf bag
which the player is carrying?"
Answer-A was entitled to redrop
the ball without penalty. The player.
his caddie and his clubs cannot be
held to come under rule II. (2) The
difference between the cases mention
ed, is that, in the first case, the ball
is in play, and in the second case,
the ball is not in play until dropped.

At the close of the day these "des.

the chief medical officer and imme.
diately mailed to state boards o.

The state health official in return
will be requested to mail the cards to
the local boards of health. The the
DRY is that should case of cholers

mediately be able to identify it and
take prompt measures, should the rec

persons coming from a cholera in
tested district.
The treasury department and the
department of commerce and labor
have formally approved Doctor Wy
mans plan, hence it goes into opera
ton with all the force oe the govern
States officials are concerned. At
first the local boards of health must
forward the cards at their own ex-
pense, but as the cards are govern
ment documents it may be that the
local authorities can be supplied with
franks.
1t should be said that the bureau
has no fear of a cholera epidemic in
this country. The medical examina-
tons of immigrants are very thor
ough and in devising this additional
system Doctor Wynia:. merely covers
factor in the situation namely, the
chance cholera bacillus carriers to
whom no systematic attention has
bee given before. Doctor Wyman
believes that with the cooperation to
be expected from the local health
authorities he can almost guarantee
the United States against a serious
outbreak Of cholera.

Northwestern received severe set

shower. Mrs. Belvin, who was
out on the porch at Mrs. T. ].

but did not understand. They
came on to the gate and here be-
gan beating pans and other
things together. OF course by
this time Mrs. Belvin realized
what the crowd was up to. All
kinds of kitchen things were
brought-dipper mashers, pans,
etc. Mrs. Belvin appreciated the
shower very much and it was a
complete surprise.

At the regularmonthly meeting
of the town commissioners Tues
day evening it was decided to put
in an up-to-date fire alarm system
that of the Patric, Carter &
Wilkins Co. to move the reel at
the corner of Mr. R.D. Caldwell's
park on Elm street to the hook and
ladder house or Water street and
to purchase set of harness and
arrange to keep the town mules
at this house 80 that they may be
ready for mediate service at all
times for the purpose of drawing
the wagon tn case of fire.
These steps were taken by the
town board at the instance of
the fire company recently organ
lied with Mr.. @. T. Williams as
chief. The recommendations were
presented to the board through
Mr.. .A.W. Peace, a member of the
company. The company has on
hand enough money to purchase
the fire-alarm system and the
cost to thetown ofinstalling same.
it is estimated will not exceed S25.
Arrangements are being made to
discontinue the use of the stables
in which the town mules have
been kept on Water street near
the standpipe.
These improvements are much
needed and mark a decided step
forward over the old method of
haphazard fire alarms and draw
ing hose wagons by hand.
Mr.. AR. Currie, who has been
night policeman for some time,
