Golf Championships.

BROOKLINE, Mass, Sept 16.-
The greatest aggregation of golfers
ever to start in a match in America
gathered here today when play in the
American championship began on the
links of the exclusive Brookline Coun-
try club. Added interest attached to
the present title competitions because
Of the presence as competitors Of
Harry Vardon, Edward Ray, Wilfred
Reid and Louis Teller, of Banstead,
Downs, England Vardon is England's 5
greatest golfer, and he is conceded
by English and American golf ex-
perts to be one Of the greatest play
ers the ancient game has ever pro-
duced. Golf enthusiasts on both sides
admitted that England has in the
golfers mentioned, an excellent chance
to be revenged on the Yankees for
loss of the polo title and the Davis
tennis cup.

Bridal Frocks.

The autumn bride is not the model
of simplicity, as far as her gown IS
concerned, that we have heard so
much about in seasons past. Her
robe may be designed upon simple
lines, or it may not The materials
are ultra-elegant.
Brocade effects are so much the
vogue for dressers for all occasions
that it is not surprising that the
smart dressmakers are utilizing them
for the fall brides wardrobe Satin
brocade, crepe brocade, silk brocade
and all along the list Of other mater
ials that show embossed effects are
in greater demand than ever before in
this history.
They are combined with chiffon and
fine laces to soften their effect, but
new materials are so supple themsel-
yes that one experiences not the
slightest difficulty in manipulating
them.
There is no decided change in the ar
rangement of wells or in styles Of nets
and laces best liked for these acces-
sories. An attempt has been made
to introduce the shadow lace into
fashion for the brides veil, but has
met with rather Indifferent favor and
it is not likely to be pushed to any
extent. The powers that be are per
sistent enough if they are convinced
that mode can be made to "go," but
when new style receives practically
no encouragement, even from the
women who try thing because it S
new, they quickly withdraw from It
their support.
Everything that is designed for the
autumn bride is exquisite, from her
bridal robe to the last detail Of the
travelling outfit. For afternoon and
evening there are handsome frocks in
cloth, velvet, duvetyn, crepe, chiffon,
etc, while for street there are more
substantial broadcloths, satins of very
heavy quality, ottoman, silks, serges,
velveteens, etc.
There are many Russian models
among the new modes, most of them
being extremely simple This gives
one to wear any Of the countless
sashes that are now in vogue, for the
Russian blouse without a girdle or
fancy sash, somehow seems like the
proverbial Hamlet without the melan-
choly Dane.

Fighting Gang Politics.

PHILADELPHIA, Sept. 16.-"Beat
the Gang; Gust the Boss" was the
slogan today in Philadelphia where
primaries are being held to nominate
candidates for county Offices. The big
fight is centered on the election Of a
district attorney. Samuel Rotan, the
present incumbent in that office is the
machine candidate to succeed himself.
Independent and reform leaders have
named a fusion ticket to beat the
machine and the situation here is not
unlike the New York situation. On
the ballot for nomination today were
names of candidates for the office IF

Washington a Free Mason.

New York American: The vener-
able and venerated records Of Fred
ericksburg lodge show that Washing
ton was iniatiated on Noverber 4,
1852, passed fellowcraft March 8,
1853, and was raised to the sublime
degree of Master Mason, August 4,
1853.
Strange to say, it appears to be a
fact that the Father of His Country
was initiated before he reached the
required age of 81 years. Daniel
Campbell, master of the lodge, grant
ed the special dispensation which en-
abled the candidate to begin his east
ward journey while still minor.
Grand Master French, of District
Of Columbia, declared in an address
delivered in 1851 that no one stopped
toi inquire about Washington's age
when his petition was presented; that
the majestic proportions of the can
didate, together with his well known
character caused them to take it for
granted that he was of age.

Imperial County's Title.

Los Angeles Times: The great in
land empire that is growing in the
Imperial valley is one of the marvels
of southern California development.
The county is the youngest in the
state, but from the desert of twelve
years ago over $4,000, 900 in wealth
was last spring yielded from the soil
Think of shipping million canta-
lopes day during the busy season
in June and July from $500 acres un-
til 5000 carloads had been counted and
S., 200, 900 had been received from the
crop.
Again conceive of 10000 acres Of
barley which yielded 1000 pounds to
the acre; 160 square miles of alfalfa
from which eight cuttings were made
during the year; an output of 10000
pounds Of butter a day from cream
cries of the county to bring to the
ranchers Of the county $4,000 day
income; ten carloads of grapes a day
until $50 carloads had been shipped
from 200 acres
Such figures az the above tell why
the pioneers of the county have prac-
tically ceased to ride behind the faith
full old Dobbin, but instead travel over
the county in high-powered automo-
biles. The cities of the county grow
as rapidly as the products of the soil.
Ell Centro, seven years old, did $780,
900 Of building the past year, includ-
ing $4,000 high school building,
a 1000 Masonic temple and dozen
or more brick business blocks, besides
Methodist, Baptist and Presbyterian
churches. Holtville has its $4,000
high school, and Imperial high school
cost 100000 which includes mechan-
ical arts building
With the magical combination of
ample, cheap water, rich soil and ar
dent sunshine twelve months in the
year, crop returns are certain and the
county has the longest growing
season in the United States. Every
month some crop is ripening and con-
vertible into dollars. These dollars
are put back into improvements and
the work of development is pushed
forward.
The county is rightly named

Fewer School Years.

That education courses be shorten
ed by from one to three years IS
advocated by President Harry Pratt
Judson of the University of Chicago.
His opinions on the subject are ex-
pressed IN an article on Economy in
Education" in the current School Re-
view.
The educator states that students
who desire professional training are
among the principal sufferers from
the system. Medical students enter on
their life work colder by far than
ought to be the case"
Il believe that we can say that at
least a year of the elementary school
can be eliminated" President Judson
writes II feel sure that we do not
need more than seven years. am
stretching point to concede seven
years-for elementary school work.
And when l turn to the college l find
that our American colleges are unlike
anything else in the civilized world.
'1n this particular case | think the
fact that we are different is not a
thing of which to be proud. We are
doing university work in the last two
college years. Our colleges are doing
secondary school work When we once
do a thing in educational lines, edu-
cational inertia causes US to keep on
doing it. l would put less time on
the beginnings of our education and
more time on the endings of our
education"

Starts Football Practice.

CAMBRIDGE, Mass, Sept. 16.-
With Charley Brickley and his far
famed, educated" drop-kick-toe IN
the best of trim, and Bob Storer, who
scooped on tumble and made him
self famous by scoring the first touch
down against Yale in years, acting as
captain, the Harvard football squad
started fall training here today with
rush.
The crimson has the best outlook
in many years. Even though several
of last years championship team vet
Grams have left, the prospect is ex-
ceedingly bright for repetition. The
seventy five men who were on hand
today have attended Coach Percy D.
Haughton's correspondence scho d
during the summer, and the usual
tiresome chalk talks and get-together
"buzzes" were not necessary. Percy
Wendell, last years, catapault captain;
Sam FELTON, and Gardiner, having
graduated, will have to be replaced
this fall. FELTON, has promised to spend
quite bit of time teaching another
his wonderful "fadeaway" punt spi-
rails. Frank Bradlee, WendelPs sub
last year; "Tacks" Hardwick and all
the other veterans were on hand to-
day. Among some of the brightest
hopes was Mahan, whose high school
work and freshman playing last year
give him a record even more sensa-
brilliant than that Brickley
brought with him. Mahan, like
is an unerring drop-kicker
and broken field runner He will be
tried out at quarter.

Glass Defends Bill.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 15.-The ad-
ministratlon currency bill was started
on its devious way to the statue
books when Chairman Glass of the
house banking committee, one of the
fathers of the measure, opened the
currency debate in the house. In d
long speech Mr.. Glass expounded the
principles underlying the bill and re-
piled to the various criticisms of the
measure. The Democrats hope to con-
clude the general debate on the bill
this week and begin its detailed con-
sideration Monday.
Mr.. Glass replied at length to the
criticism that the federal reserve
board, placed by the bill in control Of
the proposed financial system. would,
with its wide power, be subject to po-
litical influences.
There is no politics in this matter;
there can be none. 1t is my earnest
conviction, based on long and serious
reflection, that no man can conceive,
as none has yet pointed out, how any
part of this system can be perverted
to political uses," said he.
II happened to be present when an
eminent banker suggested such a pos
sibility to the present occupant Of the
executive chair, and heard this banker
! vainly challenged to show how it might
be done. l shall not soon forget the
emphasis with which the president Of
the United States declared that no
man would ever be found who would
be willing to imperil his reputation
or tarnish his fame by so fragrant d
prostitution of his high office.
I Mr.. Glass declared that opposition
to the bill by bankers was caused by
the fact that the bill would sever the
relations between banks and stoci.
