the board of United States general ap-
praisers that John D. Rockefeller must

GOLF GOSSIP
BY HARRY NARDoN
tine British Champion)

1t is good to know that, even In this
period of stress, British golf has not
been entirely unrepresented on Amer.
lean links. 1t is now a matter Of his.
tory that Miss Vera Ramsay of Leath.
erhead, in Engiands who crossed to
the states on the Lusitania on the last
trip which that vessel made before be-
ing torpedoed, has qualified to hold
the championship Of the Boston Wo-
mans Golf Association until next year
and her success somehow makes me
feel all the more acutely my own dis.
appointment at having had to give up
tour on which had set my heart.
However, domestic considerations
must command respect where it is not
imperative duty that calls a man away.
As enc of our proposed party remark
ed, he had had submarines for break
fast, submarines for lunch, subma
rines for tea, and submarines for din
ner" from the moment that he an
nounced IN his home that he intended
to go to America and the situation
when the very vessel on which he
had booked his passage was sent to
the bottom of the sea can be readily
imagined. Not being eligible for war
service, | had made up my mind for
one more visit to the states--in ali
probability the last. j hope 1t may be
possible next season.
Underestimate Playing Of Women.
Mention Of women's golf reminds
me of a subject on which feel strong
ly. 1t is that the standard of play
among the fair sex is greatly under
estimated In most places where man
golfers congregate. II is often dis
cussed in spirit which indicates
that the speakers regard it as rather
poor imitation of the real thing.
can only imagine that they have never
had an Opportunity of watching the
best woman golfers. / confess that |
have been. surprised many times by
the excellence of their shots, and. con-
sidering that they are handicapped
in the matter of physique, the quality
of their golf seems to me to be res
markedly high.
III long series of matches were
held between prominent man amateurs
and equally distinguished woman play
ers, with the latter receiving a half,
believe that the men would be beat
en-. So far as | have been. able to
Judge, this applies as much to America
as to Britain. With, say, Mrs A. Jack
sen, the woman champion, and Francis
Ou-met. the amateur champion, show
ing something like their correct re-
spectiye powers in a contest of IS
holes, l doubt whether the man could
concede half. To be sure, nine
strokes are a good many to give, but
/ am assuming now that the match
would take place on q well bunkered
and full length course of 5000 yards
or more, where physique alone would
tell heavily The skill with which the,
leading woman golfers play approach
es and puts in such that they are
es and puts is such that they are
and in recovering from bunkers, And
perhaps their sole real weakness is in
the latter department.
Do Not Show Real Form.
1t is pity that when women and
men meet in more or less public con-
tests the women, often fail to display
their true form. 1t may be that they

 Bollinq Pink" In Greenhouse,

The carnation expert at the gov ernment experimental greenhouse in Washington is paying a delicate com, pliment to her who will be the first lady of the land He is bringing into being flower which will be worthy of her. the Edith Boiling pink.
 It is expected that the new made in America" carnation will be a blend of white and deepest pink and that it will have a delightful odor.
 It is scarcely to be hoped that the new blossom will be perfected in time for the wedding of the president and Mrs. Galt, but doubtless it will bloom forth in all its glory in February as a valentine.

The first time one is arrested for intox ication or treated by physician one gets warning with his headache, the second time one loses ones license for the year. and the third time one is out that is, one loses ones license for ever and can never have another drink, the bill says.
 Cards Are Not Transferable.
 No, you can't borrow your friends card, for if you are caught using it there is fine of $100 and thirty days in jail for the offense And if one is caught buying q drink without n card both the buyer and the seller go to jail. If one is really i'll one may get q doctors prescription, but it may be used only once. A violation sends the user forthwith to the jail.
 The association reported that 1000 men in the city had agreed to take out cards if the law is passed. It was es tmated that there would be many oth- CTS to join the 1000 pioneers
 And, by the way, women must have cards, too, and they must certify that they are twenty-one or more to get them. If man thinks his whole fam fly needs alcohol he can get family license for $5, but he must specify by whom it is to be used. The family Ii. cense can be used only when the head of the house is along. If wife goes to tango teas and does aught but tango she must have her own license
 What Plan Will Accomplish.
 William T. Hoyt, who lives in Mil ford. Conn.,. and is president of the National Defensive association, told all about the plan.
 Ut will be an honor to have a drink card" he explained, because 1t will certify that one doesn't drink too much. Very simple, is it not, for if one drinks too much one ceases to have a card and consequently cannot drink any more. In that way there will be no more drunkards. Very sim pie, indeed Then. if one drinks only because it seems social obligation one has good excuse if one says one hasn't a card If person gets locked

Two sprees year Is to be tue limit for the New Yorker and three year will mean that he cannot take another drink for the rest of his life if the Ma tional Defense association has its way.
 According to the mo drunkard" bill which will be presented to the legsla- ture, in the first place if you want to take drink you must have a card, which Is to be made of durable card board and will be issued at the city hall on the payment of $1. A conces- sion to the bashful is that the cards may be issued by mail. After you get your card you rest one foot on the brass rail, face the bartender and ask for your favorite tipple.
 "Lemme see your card" challenges the barkeep.
 You show your card and may there after take aboard as much cargo as you can carry without tacking. When you begin to tack your card Is of no more service, for if the barkeeper sells you another drink he forfeits a big bonus he has left down at the city hall.
