Some Golf Player Out
Fort Wayne Way

Chicago, Aug. 23.-Here II n
tale of the most remarkable shot
ever made at golf, just reported
from the KekiOnEa Golf Club at
Fort Wayne, although II hap
Pened last fall;
Wright DOdez was playing
Fritz McCuIIOch in the semi
finals for n trophy. His drive
was short and he hit a long ball
on the approach. The ball went
among the branches Of an apple
tree.
The hall finally was discovered
half Imbedded In a big, mellow
pipPin which had dropped into
the crotch of one of the branches.
Dodez elected to play the ball
from its lie. Climbing n tree, he
hooked a leg ever a limb, spat-
tered the apple all over the links,
and his ball tore free and rolled
to the edge Of the green. He
ran down a long putt and haIved
the hole.

HOLD INITIAL PRACTICE.

The Mercury Jr.'s football team started
practice for the season yesterday. A
lengthy talk on the rules was the routine.
Nothing strenuous will be attempted for
Q week. Although it is early to indicate
the ability of the team. but at the pres
ent point it seems as if il will be more
formidable than last year when the
eleven went through the season unsecured.
Several new men reported for practice.
Nash, who. played guard last year, is
picked for end, and Corners, who played
halfback, is out for quarter.

Like the public school the moth

Furnishing children and their moth

"Truant officers go out into the
streets and compel every child to go
to school Likewise officers of the
state and city should go out and
compel all mothers in poverty to ac-

abolish child-poverty.
Children cannot be guilty of their
poverty and they should not be pun

economically sound, and in accord

great work will be more famous than

it's citizens will be as famous as those

until it has abolished child-poverty.
Every city in the United States is
rich enough in manhood and woman
hood, in citizenship and natural re-
sources, and brains and-energy to
abolish child poverty in that city.
Every city is responsible for every
child within its gates. If the father
fails in his natural duty then the
strong men and women of the COM
munity must, if they live up to their
duty and Christian standards, take
the place of the father.
mo child should be taken from it's
mother, even when she is apparently
unfit. Strong hands must assist her
to become fit and to preserve home.
Mother instinct is so strong that with
any sort of encouragement mothers
will improve their methods.
"Child poverty destroys homes, de-
5troys childhood, produces delin-
guents, invalids, tramps, undesirables
and criminals and breaks down the
instincts of motherhood.
''Child-poverty is the. greatest
economic waste in the nation. It's
Droduot-unfit adults-keeps the
courts, police, asylums, prisons and
hospitals full and costs society bill
ions of dollars.
Reduction of child-poverty, in any
degree, at once reduces the expenses
now caused by the machinery of cor
rection. Any juvenile court record
will prove this.
mo city can afford to go on with
ehild-poverty fostering in its homes.
The cost of relieving absolutely every
child from, the destructive effects of
poverty and the disgraces of charity
would be small in comparison with

ALIMONY BASIS 20 PER CENT.
Fifty-ffty Salary Split Too Much for

New York. Nov. 14-It's all off
with the tifty-hfty split in the alimony
game. Twenty per cent. of husband 5
salary is all a wife who gets a divorce
ought to expect, according to a ruling
of Supreme Court Justice Guy yester-
day in the suit of Mrs. Pauline L..
Berry against William Harrison Berry,
buyer for a big department store. Mrs.
Berry, seeking divorce, said she
thought she ought to get SIS a week
alimony.
What is your husband s salary,
Madam'' asked the Judge.
HE earns $50 week. the witness
replied.
I shall order him to pay you $40
a week, - Justice Guy said. ''We must
keep the machinery in working order.
If there is no inducement for a man
TO work when he has to pay alimony
he is likely to give up working
Mrs. Berry had been granted Sc a
week when she filed her suit, in which
she accused her husband of too great
frieudliness for another woman. Upon

had followed Berry TO the Union Square
