AMERICAS OLDEST GOLF LINKS.

The belief that the St. Andrews Golf club of New York had the first links in the United States does not accord with the recollections of Maj. Charles c. Ballou. seventh United States in fantrv. who can recall playing golf over a good course in Texas nearly quar- ter of a century ago, says Harpers Weekly Major Ballou is q graduate of West Point. On leaving the military academy. in 1886, he was assigned to the sixteenth infantry. then stationed at San Antonio. Texas. There Lieut.. BalIou met a stout old Scotchman known to local fame as MT. Macdon- Ough of Macdonough Park" The hale old gentleman loved none of the sports of the day. such as baseball, tennis etc, but dwelt lovingly on the charms of the royal and ancient game or golt' pronouncing it "dowf' with rich deep Scotch accent that fitted admirably in to his enthusiasm.
 The Scotch veteran had a fine and easy style with his driver and brassie' and he was delighted when Lieutenant Ballou began to swing the clubs In the back yard with the grace of 9 player of the land o cakes. Thus, fin1ing that he would not be alone. NIT. Macdonough enlisted the lieutenant in laying out a course of nine holes, and there the two played, indifferent to the fact that they were the laughing stock of the ost and such city visitors and tourists IS chanc- ed to see them. Golf being virtually un- known in this country then, kits could be obtained only from abroad: hence it was not easy to get recruits for the game
 That Major Ballou's claim to playing over the first links in the Unitel States has a safe margin to rest on is shown by the fact that it was not until half a decade later that something like golf was played near Mt. Vernon, N. Y, on what was called the Apple Tree course. but that was a very primitive links with tin cans for cups. ard in no degree comparable with the Scotch fin ish and tone that one would associate with a course laid out by a Mac donough of Macdonough Park The tradition of golf playing at Savannah, Ga. as far back as 1874. does not really overshadOw Major Ballou's fame, for, since his first playing. the game has developed in America with great rapid ity, while such golf as is embraced in the vague chronicles of 1874 was only sporadic at the best, and had no chrOn- ological connection with the sport of today.

BRIDE FROM HOME OF WEALTH
She Often Proves Surprise as a Housekeeper.

Thanks to the general intelligence of young women. to domestic train ing in schools and good management at home, most brides find compara- lively little difficulty in solving the problem of housekeeping. The most disastrous mistakes are not made by girls who have been brought up on a lavish scale. and who leave a back ground of liberality in expenditure and begin their housekeeping on a small income. The girl who has never had to consider ways and means at home, and who steps with out much delay from the platform of her college graduation to life in bit of a cottage or a tiny apart ment, is often far more successful in her new role than the girl who has been a smnll wage-earner from the time she left school until her mar riage day. writes Margaret F. Sangs- ter, in the WOman's Home Compan- ion. In certain communities where local industry, as the manufacture of gloves or shoes, occupies most of the marriageable women, or where a great many of the young girls are factory operatives, it is a matter of comment that these young women do not seem to take easily or successful ly to housekeeping
 Their time has been arranged by q cast-irOn schedule. They have work ed every day and all day in a round of monotonous toll, and the result is that they do not know how to do several things at their own discretion. They do not know how to purchase provisions, to cook or to sew. The bride of poverty often continues to make mistakes in the line of waste, until her husband and herself are equally discouraged.
 The girl who steps from a home of wealth has had opportunities of change, observation, and an all- round education. which for her are valuable assets. Such a girl may marry a man whose salary of $500 or s2000 a year is altogether in con- trast with the large income of her father. and. if need be. and she is sensible and capable. she will keep within her income. do her own work and prove herself a notable house. keeper. to the surprise, it may be, of her mother.

4 Harmless Bomb.

The Dick to Dick" letter will prob ably not give our insurgent friends so much comfort as they expected That the letter ever existed except in the heated imagination of a woman newspaper man" is pretty generally suspected It cannot now be found retary Ballinger agree that he is not the kind of a man that would leave a letter of that sort behind him in the files of the department, but the whole matter is exploded by the tes- timony of Secretary Fisher, who says that the records in the "Controller Bay" affair show that no action was taken calculated to give to the Gug- genheims or any private interest an improper advantage or control over Alaskan transportation.
 That takes the heart out of the in- quiry. If that is a fact. the letter genuine or fabricated, becomes of no importance.
 The "prOgressives." who a few short weeks ago were singing paeans of joy over the appointment of MT. Fisher claimed as one of themselves, may be expected to accept his statement that there was no Guggenheim conspiracy in the Controller Bay case.

to amend the constitution so as to make the judges subject to the re- call, it would be only necessary to secure the signatures of forty-f five hundred voters to the required pe- tition.
 Are we to infer that the fellows who are now shrieking that we must reject statehood until we can have the recall of the judiciary are afraid to trust the people? Are they afraid that the people would refuse to put such an amendment into the consti- tuition? Do they pretend to say that such an amendment ought to go in if the people don't want it?
 As a matter of fact, everybody knows that in the two mining coun- ties of Cochise and Gila signatures of voters to the number of forty-five hundred could be obtained to the re- quired initiative" petition within a week. How the voters of the whole state would vote on such an amend ment, we do not propose to prophecy. But certainly no well-infOrmed resi- dent of the territory would deny for a moment that the required petition could be obtained without difficulty.
 When. therefore, any citizen of Ari- zona undertakes to block statehood because the state at the beginning cannot include the judiciary in the recall provisions of the constitution. such citizen puts himself in one of two classes: either the class which is opposed to statehood. or. a class lacking in practical sense.

THE WATERPRooFING OF CON-
 CRETE.

Concrete is porous because of the voids between its contents. Through these voids water will pass by gravi- tation and capillarity. To make con- crete waterproof the voids must either be filled throughout the mass with something that is non-porous, or nearly so, or else it must have its exposed surfaces so treated as to make them surpervious to water. This later can be done by, first, the application of a porous coating which adheres to the surface, or, second, by one which enters the voids slightly at the surface. When the coating is wholly superficial it is easily broken or rubbed off in spots by hard blows and rubs, and it is too thin and weak to maintain its integrity long enough to be as ser viceable as waterproof coating should be. The ideal waterproofing should be as durable as the concrete itself With regard to the second, it is a difficult matter to get any solid matter within the surface of a con- crete mass by superficial application, unless the solid is in solution in a fluid that will enter within it. If such fluid be an oil, it may be said that no oil is permanent under these conditions. If it be water, the water will evaporate, leaving the greater part of the voids it has occupied nearly empty. If the solid is not Tn tI it t1in in upon the surface, while the water alone enters. The ideal substance for surface application is paraffin. It is absolutely permanent under all at mospheric conditions, and can. with precision. be driven beneath the sur face to at least a quarter of its at tachment.
 To introduce during the process of making the concrete another material which, when it has set, will complete Iy fill the voids, would seem the best way of waterproOfing concrete, if 1t could be done All efforts at safely filling the voids must be along the line of q much finer division of either the cement or an inert filler, or both. In order not to reduce the strength of the concrete the filler should be granular, and not slimy like clay, lampblack or floccular graphite. The ideal substance would be slaked lime. or cement or silica ground to such fineness as to float in the air. The slaking of lime reduces it to a finer degree of subdivision than can be produced by mechanical means. By introducing these or similar sub- stances in excess into the water sup piled for hydration. the voids in the mortar can probably be so nearly fill ed as to render the passage of water impossible. In general terms. to make a mass of concrete so non-pOrous as to be waterproof, the ingredients should be propOrtioned with extreme care so as to minimize the voids, and but little more water should be used than is necessary for complete hy- dration-SeneraI w.

changes, Mr.. Hitchcock said:
THE investigation which We con-
Quoted SO long and carefully indicated
clearly that the action I have taken
was absolutely necessary. The rail-
