CROWD A PROBLEM
ON GOLF LINKS
No Easy Task to Handle
the Gallery at a Big
Tournament.

One of the greatest problems with
which the governors OF British cham
pionship tournaments have to deal
is that of the vast crowds which
attend the various contests in which
titles are involved. Judging by the
manner in which the rank and file Of
golfers turned out 10 witness the con-
tests in the national amateur tourna-
mcnt at Garden City last fall and the
subsequent open championships at
Brookline it will not be long before
American officials will have to deal
with the same thing.
The amateur championships this
September will be held over the links
of the Ekwanok Country Club at Man
chester, VI, "A rather remote situs-
tion. so that this year, at least. diff
culties with a crowd Of between five
and seven thousand trailing along be
hind the contest over the fairway and
around the greens probably will not
have TO be dealt with.
That the question Of large galleries
will agitatc many minds on the other
side between now and the next big
tournament is shown by the following
extract from the opinions expressed
by British writer:
Everybody who was al Prestwick
would probably admit that there were
far too many spectators OIL the links,
and that it was dreadfully hard job
to attempt 10 sec the play Of Vardon
and Taylor, but how can the numbers
he limited so as % be brought within
more manageable comnass?
"Somc very hard things have been
written about jos-ling and scrambling,
and the letter -thc-editor people have
now received a promising text from
correspondent who speaks of the
'hooliganism at Prcstwick.
at cannot he denied that the crowd
was unwieldy. but it was much more
obedicnl to the instructions of the
stewards than the crowd that assem-
bled at 81. Andrews and Troon during
the progress Of the great four-green
foursomn Of 1905. Too high praise
cannot bc given to the officials of the
PreJtwick Club
"The management Of the ropes AZ the
loop was really admirable. and but for
the methods adopted TO clear the line
Of play good deal of delay must have
accumulated each day. The steward
sacrificed themselves nobly in the cause
of order; they saw almost AS little of
the play as many Of the spectators.
at has been suggested that the crowd
problem might be solved by taking the
championship 10 courses not easily ac-
ccsyiblc 10 spectators. but that is hard
" "A practical remedy; tho convenience
of the competitors must be kept IN
view. Another idea is to charge gate
money. That might be possible on
some courses. but unless the charge
was fixed at something like half n
sovereign for the two days it would
not keep out many Of those keenly in

BREEDERS LIKE 'EM SMALL

Weigh About Eight Pounds.

There has been considerable contro-
versy in England in regard to the
proper weight of the Griffon Bruxellois.

when they learn that Tyrwhitt- Drake

The litter numbered eight, and seven

two are like the father, sort OF yel-

AipheuS Hyatt Forri,l. author of

though most Of Us ara accustomed tn
think of wireless as Of very recent
origin, it Is in fact nearly one hundred
years old. 1t was in 1888, says Mr.,
FerFill, that Professor Steinhall Of
Munich gave out a very INTELLIGENT
statement of the possibilities of cleo.
trlcal transmission of messages with.
out wires. Professor Steinhall's first
experiments were made with railway
rails instead of wires, but in this effort
to transmit messages he was not sue.
c~essful, owing to the imperfect con-
nections Of the rats. In conducting
these experiments, however, he discoy-
cred that the earth itself possessed a
conductive power, This led him to
conclude that it would be possible TO
send messages through the earth with
out wires, and in his account he says:
This is a hitherto unobseryed fact,
and may be classed among the most
extraordinary phenomena science has
yet revealed to US" Steinhall actual

That the walrus is rapidly nearing
extinction is the warning sounded by
the Daily Industrial News Of Nome,
Alaska. That paper describes the
slaughter caused by one crew in a
single season. The catch amounted
to 1913, of which 400 were cows with
calves. Many were fatally wounded
or shot and killed and never recov-
cred. A full grown bull walrus weighs
a ton. The walrus Is a tempting bait
to the hunter because OF the amount
Of wealth found in the skin, the oil
and the rich ivory in the tusks. The
disappearance of the walrus means
the extinction OF the Eskimos, who
depend largely on this animal for food
supply. fuel, lights, boats and leather

Do you know that America would
soon starve to death II 1t wasn't for
improved farm machinery! When tbs
first successful grain harvester was
invented America was starting to 30
hungry for bread. Hand methods
couldn't reap and thresh enough grain
to supply the demand. In 1880 It took
three hours OF hand labor and n
hour OF animal labor to produce q
bushel OF wheat; today It takes ten
minutes OF hand labor and one and
one-third hours Of animal labor. In
1880 the labor to produce one bushel
cost is cents. today 1t costs nine
cents. Yet farm labor is more ex-
pensive today than yesterday. I'm
proved farm machinery has made It
possible to produce cheaper and In
larger quantities.
Then we want farm machinery be-
