THE NEED FOR A LOCAL TUBER

YA l.
The reputation Of st. Tamman
parish as to the benefit of tbs cl mat
in the cure of consumption, stomacl

attraction to sufferers from these d S
eases. Sufferers from tuberculos-

human to deprive them of the au

ing that some restrictions should b,

Says Carnegie Tries

Senator Chamberlain Takes Rap at
 Laird of Skibo Castle During Speech.

Washington, March 26-"1f Andrew Carnegie, wbo continually assists the cause of Great Britain, were a citizen of any other nation, he would be charged with treason" declared Sena- tor Geo. Chamberlain in the course of Panama canal tolls debate. "He has never hesitated to spend his mil lions in endeavoring to inculcate a reciprocal feeling for Great Britain in the minds of the people of the Unit ed States"
 MT. Chamberlain's attack on Mir Carnegie came as the climax of an hour of hot argument, during which Senator Jones, who also opposes a re- peal of the tolls exemption. had read under protest several letters attack ing the contention of President Will son.
 The debate was cut off when the subject went over to tomorrow under parliamentary procedure.

IN THE WORLD OF SPORT

voted most of their lives to the game. | But, in rebuttal, Ouimets friends de- clare he is prodigy-a golfing won der-a type that is born only once in every 100 years.
 The English tournaments are con- 1 ducted differently than the American tournaments-and many believe that
 the English method carry big ad- vantage for the Americans. In this country elimination contests are held prior to the real matches. No elimi- | nation contests are held in English tournaments-match play begins when the tournament opens. It is figured by optimistic Ameri- can golfing enthusiasts that the American quintet is strong enough to eliminate, in the early match play, some of the most dangerous English players, and some are even hopeful to the point of prediction that the finals may be fought out by two Americans.
 Herreschoff, wonderful distance man with the wood, is looked to by the American contingent to furnish a mighty battle for every man he meets. The same is true of Travers and Schmidt. Travers, regarded as a somewhat weak driver, is looked upon as 6ne of the best putters in the golfing world, and this, .t is figured, offsets any driving weakness. Schmidt is held in high regard-and also in fear-by the English because of the plucky fight he made last yea: and ought to do very well.
 Evans is brilliant player but in clined to be slightly cratic at times If hs can get away to a steady, even start and keep it up, he ought to re- main in the battle for considerable distance.
 Ouimet, of course, will be Americas dark horse" As previously stated, some American-and most of the En- glish-think him just an ordinary player, and figure that he never again can duplicate his victory of last summer at Brookline, Mass. Others feel just the other way And, so Ouimet will go into the battle as something of an uncertain quantity. May that uncertainty result in being just the uncertainty as to the number of strokes by which he will win out ill the final match.

New York, March 26.-Some of the very best little golfers ill these United States either. are in England now or soon will start for that section of the world with the intention of showing John Bulls sons how the game is played, and of grabbing off all the championships that John has at his disposal.
 Jerome D. Trayers, who has held about all the amateur titles that one can annex in this country, now is ov- CT in England, swatting the little ball around and familiarizing himself with the courses there. Fred Herreschoff, another of the best amateurs ever produced in this country, is over on British soil, toe, and is doing a little practicing, when not seeing the sights of dear, ol Lunnon
 Francis Ouimet, the juvenile won- der, Chick" Evans, the Chicago star, and Heinrich Schmidt, of Worcester, Mass, who made a great showing in the championship battles in England last year, will be in England before the middle of next month, and will join the other two Americans in a conspiracy to appropriate the anna teur title which will be fought out on May IS.
 Travers and Herreschoff, according to their present intentions, will not remain in England for the golfing class on May 26-the open champion ship-but will hop over to France and try conclusions with some anna teurs there, while Evans, Ouimet and Schmidt, the youthful trio, fight it out for the greatest golfing honors in the world with such link wizards as Warden, Ray Taylor and the other great English professionals.
 Many there are who still regard Ouimet's victory over Warden and Ray last summer as a fluke, and a feat that he never again can accom- plish. But those who have watched the kids game in the past few months declare he has improved more than 50 per cent, and that he now is as steady and smooth player as either Warden or Ray. It is a rather extravagant statement to say that a kid who has been playing only a few years is as good as a brace of men who> have de-

AT THE HIGH SCHOOL 5927s .
 By John Sorrells
*+.1+.+++++++:

''To the Architect of This Column.
 Dear Sir: I have often heard that you are fair minded person and that you are open to any criticism for the good of the nation and the bene- fit of mankind in general. I have read with the deepest sympathy your conscientious efforts to put into words the chronicles and daily hap penings of that domicile for training the young minds of the city called the High School.
 T wish to compliment you on your persevering efforts in this direction and I wish to say that I have never in my varied and checkered career seen grander' and nobler efforts.
 "But enough of this flattery. have in mind number of improve ments for your institution which would not only be of advantage to the students but would inspire them to better work and nobler efforts in the Mirection of "gumming" to few of those somewhats called education.
 "In my observations of the students at your. grand and glorious school I have noticed tendency to listlessness on their parts. This is an evil which cannot be attributed to the curved worm, but to the fact that there are not in the school the proper facilities for he betterment of this deplorable condition. The remedy would be simple. At a very slight expense there could be built little rooms ad- joining the various class rooms, fitted . out with divaps, couches, ct cetera, , for the tired and weary pupils to rest !, their weak and battered bodies on after a strenuous period in the class room, and incidentally cold drinks could be served which would refresh them greatly. And after several hours of soothing rest in these hav- ems of peace and calm, they would be able to pursue their studies with a , greater zest.
 '.Another improvement which is of utmost importance in the High School, is post office. Much of the time of the students is taken daily from their pursuits of happiness and their hours of recreation and amusements, by the absolut. necessity of delivering, send- < ing and passing of multitude of mail matter.
 Sweet scented notes of divers shapes and sizes are circulated daily and a school post office in which the presi- dents and presidentees-to-be can sim ply deposit their epistles with an as surance athat they will be received and be rid of the heart-rending, nerve

racking fear of faculty interference The matter of instituting this needed addition to the education of the tender young minds would be one of the greatest reforms of modern times and the name of the "Hi' would. re- sound through the halls of fame for generations to come.
 '"And last but not the least reform needed is plan whereby the periods of class recitations could be shorten ed. The lives of the students are daily in jeopardy by the unusual length of the recitation .periods.:.. The fact cannot but impress, when it. is viewed reasonably, that if the students daily in attendance at the 'school- should in the course of their school life contract the germ of an idea it would feed ravenously on them and in the course of a short time send them plunging into eternal oblivion The needed change is. to shorten the periods to ten minnfes each, five of which should be used> in procuring order and the other five in assigning the next days lesson.
 "I'm sure you will consider these needed reforms in the light of cold logic and try to bring about these changes.
