" HICAGO, April S.-Only the
other day l was writing some
thing about the burning of the
Atlanta Athletic Club house, and as
sit down TO my desk the news comes
20 me Of the destruction by fire of the
clubhouse of she Mayheld Coun try

an epidemic Of golf club fires, and
his article is plea for the building
of freproof Clubhouses. If that is not
practicable, then proper provision for
the prevention or checking Of disas-

cause there we're no means close at

golf clubhouses are insured. although
rates in the country usually are pref

really replace the clubs of the mem

No doubt it is much cheaper at the
time to build pretty wooden houses
than substantial f1reproof ones. but II
the chea per course must be followed
every reasonable preCaution should be
taken to avoid fire. As golf club
houses are generallw low structures,
there is usually no loss OF life, and
for that We are truly thankful but |

All of the golf clubs. however. that

NEW MYSTERY
Lick Observatory Astronomers An
nounce Discovery of Vital
Interest to Physics.

SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. 24.-The
highest significance. in the opinion of
astronomers at the University of Cal
itornia, attaches to an announcement
Just made by DR.. William Wallace
campbell, director of Lick Observa-
tory, of a discovery which affects the
whole theory of modern astronomy.
The discovery relates to the stars
$ sources of light and to the tranu-
mission of light waves through ether
and has opened new problem to
scientists. The solution may estab-
fish a new law of physics, in which
case astronomy must in turn be given
new basis.
1T has been found says DR..
campbell in announcing his discovery
through the president of the uniye--
-ity, that some variable stars reach
their maximum or minimum brilliancv
at different times, depending on
whether the observer is measuring
their brightness by means of the red
orange and yellow rays or by means
of the blue and violet rays.
The problem of explaining this
discrepancy calls strongly for solu-
ton.
Is the phenomenon due to condi-
tons existing in the stars as light

The propaganda of the league Will
be disseminated through the exclusive

home. There will be bulletins, also.
and later other means will be adopt
ed to reach the girls and young men
for whom the parents are beginning
to fear. One of the league members
to-day said that no decided change
was expected; that the departure
from the feverish old order to the
saner new order must be slow. But
the league had been organized in all
optimism that a better condition will
come about, and that within a short
time the obsession OF the fascinating
modern entertainments will give wav
to a desire for more normal diver
sions.

John DIS Father, John D. and
J, D., Jr, Have No Idea of
What Liquor Tastes Like.

NEW YORK, Jan. 24.--"Fixing
Lies Standards" was the subject of
John d. Rockefeller, Jr's discourse
to the Bible class of the Fifth avenue
Baptist Church A large gathering of
earnest men, mostly of middle age,
many of whom had dropped into the
church out of curiosity, listened with
interest.
The first suggestion | have for
YOU" said MIR. Rockefeller, 'is with
respect to the power of application.
This means exercise OF the will. I'm
less a man applies himself to a given
duty and applies himself earnestly
he can not hope to succeed.
Discover your gift, men, and when
you know 1t. use 1T! It's no excuee Tor
us to say that we are men of small
attachments, of little ability. You
don't know what your gift is until
you have tried hard to discover it.
This thought brings me to the use
of money 1t is true that man of
wealth has great responsibilities Bur
the mere possession of wealth can not
make any man or woman happy
There is a certain ease of mind to be
derived from realizing the proper use
of money, and this applies to men OF
moderate means as we'll as to men of
great wealth. In fact, the smaller a
mans means, the greater is his re-
sponsibility as to the use of it.
Il have no objection to man
drinking moderately. but | hold that
total abstinence from alcoholics will
make a man worth while.
Men, have never drunk drop of
intoxicating liquor in my life; neither
did my father nor his father before
him. l am glad to note that social
drinking seems to be decreasing But
drinking generally seems to be in
creasing in spite of the fact that in
some States there Is prohibition. Pro-
htbition, II seems, does not prohibit.
IT'S not true that youth must SOW
wild oats. The idea Of personal puri-
ty ought to be as binding upon man
as upon woman. When you tell the
loveliest girl on earth that you want
her for wife, you know that she is
purity itself. Do you ever stop to
think of yourself in that respect? A
man who really loves a girl ought to
be proud to bring her a mind and
body uncontiminated. Let men prac-
tice the lesson of personal purity In
their own lives and the death warrant
of the social evil is signed"

Serious Crusade Is Launched Against Hectic
Daily Programs Followed by Youth to-day.

NEW YORK, Jan. 24.-Enter the
Parents League, holding up before
the younger set a hand in warning
that the feverish, hectic pace of tan
going and superficial amusements
should be slackened
The Parents League is an organi-
cation of influential, older New
Workers, formed out of the fear that
the young people are OVERRIDING their
search for amusement, turning night
time into daytime, rushing madly
from pleasure to unwholesome pleas
ure, and forgetting the worth while
things. Its members, very sober per-
sons they are, frankly admit that
they are frightened at the pace of
the youth of to-day.
The league would turn the trend
into channels more sane. Its pur-
pose is not to work through denun-
citation and eXhortation, but quietly
to offer sane recreation in the place
of the interminable tango teas and
the deleterious theatrical entertain
ments.
