BURNS OF EYES FROM CON
 TENTS OF GoLF-BAIL COKE

During the last few years several cases of severe, permanent. injury to the eyes have been reported, caused by the liquid contained in the small rubber core of certain goIfzba1Is, which have been~cut open by curious cai1- dren- Almost invariably the history is that some child finds an old golf ball with it's covering partly off. He removes the rest of the cover and rub Der and then comes to the core ball; ; punctures it with knife. The con fained fluid spurts out onto his cloth ing and into his eyes.
 There are apparently two makes of go1f-ba1ls on the market, each con- taining a different, highly caustie sub stance One contains a mixture or barium su1phate, soap an1 aIkaii Balls of another make contain a solu- ton of zinc chloride. As a result<of these accidents, a. bill was introduced in the legislature of Massachusetts to prohibit the sale of go1f-bal1s which contained any eaustic fluid. The United States Golf Association issued a warning to all persons against the Dangerous practice of cutting open E0lf-balls- It was thought because of the publicity given this danger that further warning would be superfiuous. Within the last few weeks, however, three additional accidents due to the opening Of golf-baH cores have occur red near Boston These accidents are reported in a recent issue of The Jour nal of the American Medical Associa- lion It seems wise, because of the re- peated recurrences of these accidensA AgaIn 70 can the attention of the pl1b-7 He to this dangerous practice.

CREATING ooURT1NG oENrERs.

The Rev. Dr.. George R. Van De Wa ter of St. Andrews Episcopal Church, Harlem, a former Brooklyn clergy man, suggests a theme of fertile dis cussion in his plea for church activity in the direction of bringing together the unmarried young men and women of a great metropolis. That the en- couragement of marriage by the ia cil- itating of courting is a proper func- ton of the church is an idea that may we'll appeal to those who regard the home as the unit of society.
 The unhappy marriages that pro- duce, according to Dr. Van De Water's figuring, 120 dIvorces a day in the United States, spring often from the unwho1esomeness of the conditions under which intimacy leading to the altar was formed. and almost always from the fact that the woman did not really know the man and the man did not really know the woman.
 If social centers providing an op- portunfty for more wholesome condi- tions of early intimacy, and for a full Ter knowledge such as only rnatured acqua1ntanceship makes possible, can be supplied by the church, then a vast service to society will b eaceom- plished.-Brooklyn Eagle.
