LENGTHEN OLD GOLF LINKS
Many Changes Being Made IN
Fox Hills Course.

When golfers gather at Fox Hills next
Summer they will be- surprised at the
changes IN this well known Staten Island
course In nutshell work is now under
way that when completed, will lengthen the
links from the present distance Of $50
yards 20 about $500 yards There was a
time back IN the period Of the old guilty
ball that Fox Hills was plenty long enough,
but the latter day rubber cores changed
all this.
The first important departure has to do
with the abandoning Of the present fifth
green. Instead Of playing TO the hilltop
the direction will be toward the pond The
hole will be a short one, merely an iron
shot but well guarded. Prom point near
the new hfth green will be the new sixth
Tee. and the change will add about 200
Yards 20 that hole. The next important al
teration takes place at No. "A, the plan be-
ing 10 place the tee back 10 a point opposite
the thirteenth green. From there good
drive will reach the depth Of the kitchen. "
as the valley is called. To get home from
there a full iron shot al least will be neces-
sary. The length of the hole will be in
creased 10 470 yards.
In addltlon 10 'i-s' changes, tees arc be
ing pushed back at the second, third, fourth,
tenth, eleventh, seventeenth and eighteenth
holes, representing an average increase OF
about fifteen yards at each The new tees

Justice Blanchard. I'm the Criminal

Yesterday the wrath Of broken hearted
old man, who pleaded with the court TO
send his son TO prison. The justice asked
the father to take counsel with himself
overnight and come back % court to-day

was Lieutenant Joseph F. Mcmahon, OF
the Police Department. The son is Tim
otbv McNahon. who calls himself Joseph

son was that he had been getting money
on his fathers name Tile defendant
pleaded guilty and the Assistant District
Attorney in charge OF the case suggested
20 the court that he send the young man 70

tenant Mcmahon arose in court and asked
that his son be sent To state prison in

JUDGE LAYS DOWN
RULES OF ROAD

In the damage suit of William A.
Marsh against William Savidge, Judge
Whitney has given judgment for plant
iff for $3.50 March claimed 1925 for
being knocked off his motorcycle by
Savidges automobile. The decision
says:
THE court is of the opinion that
the reasonable and only safe course
for the defendant to have pursued in
the circumstances in which he found
himself was not to turn as he did, but
to have applied his brakes and stop
the machine. a course which | find
from the evidence could have been
pursued and the accident thereby
avoided.
"The defendant testifies that his en-
tire attention was occupied in escap-
ing the motor on Alakea street. A
person in the position in which defend
ant found himself owes not only to
himself the duty of self-protection, but
to others on the street, reasonable
care to avoid accidents. | cannot find
the defendant exercised such reason
able care towards the plaintiff right
fully on the street"

OREGON BLOCK
PRICE TOO BIC

That 100000 is an excessive price
for the Oregon Block but that it
should be accepted rather than risk
delaying the opening of Bishop street
through to Beretania, was the sub
stance of the opinion of the members
of the Bishop street extension COM
mission, expressed at a meeting held
at 2:3O o'clock yesterday afternoon.
The commission had offered 100000
as fair figure, and $4,000 was talk
ed of as a compromise, but it was
stated that the representatives of Sui
livan and Buckley declined to consider
these prices. Inasmuch as the legis-
lature would have to appropriate the
money in case the land is condemned,
which it might decline to do, the COM
mission felt that the difference in
price should not count in view of the
delay almost certain by the alterna-
tive method.
1t is understood that the board CON
siders itself about ready to formulate
its report to the Governor, and that
if the Oregon Block proposition is APP
proved, that the rest of the right Of
way will be easily secured on a basis
of exchange.

MANOA VALLEY
To GET SEWER

1t now seems likely that Manoa Val
ley is to get its sewer, and the Mid
Pacific Institute will be relieved of the
difficult problem of taking care of the
sewage from its several schools with
out the uncertain devices Of cesspools
or septic tanks.
At the meeting of the Board of
Health yesterday afternoon, that body
endorsed the plan approved earlier in
the day by Marston Campbell of the de-
partment of public works, as outlined
in yesterdays Star. Messrs. r. II.
Trent, Frank Damon, Willard Brown,
and A. M. Merrill, were present again
at the afternoon meeting, on behalf
of the schools. They offer to con-
tribute without reservation of any
kind, $500 towards the cost of having
the sewer in question installed. The
total cost will probably be $4,000.
Marston Campbell was present at the
meeting and spoke on the feasibility
of the scheme, as did also Deputy At
torney-General e. w. Sutton Cwho,
however, is also resident of Manoa,.
The reason Manoa was cut out of
the original plans for the spending Of
the present available $4,000 Of loan
fund money, was that the Health Board
deemed that the safety of the city
demanded that other sections of the
city be given sewers first. 1t is pre-.
.sumed that an attempt will be made
to stretch the amount so as to cover
the Manoa project as well, since no an.
nouncement has been made of any in,
tention to curtail the previously con.
sidered palms.

THE COST OF FLIMsY PACKING,

THE COST OF FLIMSY PACKING.
Flimsy, insufficient packing of goods
for shipment costs American manufac-
turers many thousands of dollars
every year. The introduction of cheap
s bstitutes for substantial wooden
cases is responsible for much of the
trouble, although modern conditions of
transportation and freight handling
make it more necessary than ever be-
fore that goods in transit should be
thoroughly protected. American con-
suls abroad have protested for years
that bad ! acking lost a vast amount
of trade to our exporters. Now the
abuse has become a serious matter in
respect to domestic shipments. More
attention is given all the time to max
ing packages attractive in appearance,
but less care is taken to make them
safe
A Pittsburg traffic expert lately es-
timated that lin So per cent of the
small lot shipments moving today the
construction of the material forming
the box or crate, the size of the nails,
etc, are entirely inadequate to pro-
tect the contents.
Fruit is SHIPPED in paper-thin crates
that are sometimes literally churned
into pulp in transit. Tobacco is sent
by rail in cases so fiimsy that they can
be perforated with a leadpencil. A
shipment of tobacco in small bags ar
rived recently at Philadelphia with
one-third of the cases so badly dam
aged that the contents could be easily
removed through the breaks. Heavy
hardware is seldom packed carefully
enough to keep it from breaking
through its casing. Very often no
thought is taken OF the damage that
may be done to freight when packed
in cars with heavy, rough, or pointed
articles.
1t is impossible for the carriers to
prevent damage under such circum-
stances. The greatest care may be
used in slowing goods in a car at the
beginning of a haul, but as consign-
ments for different stations are taken
out, disarrangement follows that may
be dangerous to the remaining freight,
but a restowage at each stop of the
train is impossible.
All authorities agree that the way
TO save the large sums now lost
through insufficient packing is to go
back to SUBSTANTIAL wooden cases. No
safe substitute has been found for
