More Money Spent on Golf Than
Baseball.

In the May American Magazine Je-
rome d. Travers, four times amateur g1lf
champion of America, writes a remark
ably interesting article entitled, "The
High Cost of Golfng," in with he re.
ports many astounding facts about the
game. After demonstrating that ,-e
average golfer spends about sl20 year
on the game, Mr.. Travers goes on in part
as follows:
"The average cost of 1920 doesn't seem
very large. II isn't, when considered
alone But when this cost is multiplied
by all those playing golf in the United
States, it is then that one suddenly
wakes to the en- rmous amount of mon
ey spent upon the game-far more than
is spent upon any other sport in the ma
ton.
"This may sound like joke to a good
many. More money spent on golf than
upon baseball, with all these high-priced
players and all these big stadiums2 Yes,
good bit more.

izations is concerned, there are 1900 golf
clubs now in the United States. These
] 300 clubs have a playing, or rather an
active playing, list Of 100000 members.
Figured then on the basis OF 350,000I
active golfers at the average cost summed
up of sl20 year, the total amount spent
on golf each season runs up 10 $4,000.

Dared the Judge.

An Irish woman was brought before a
Brooklyn judge not long ago, according
to The Eagle, and without waiting for
ceremony, proceeded to speak in her own
defense.
The Judge bade her to be silent, but
she paid no attention to him, and kept
right on. The judge grew angry. Down
came the gavel. But the woman contin-
ued to vociferate.
Finally, after no little pounding and
shouting, she seemed to come to her
senses. The silence was momentary,
however, for she broke out again with
the exclamation:
"There isn't jedge in this country

THE vIOLETs IN THE GARDEN.
Their Needs Simple and Their Fragrance
Delicious.

i 1t is very encouraging sign Tor the
and more attention is being given each
year to identifying the home plot. The
modern, up-to-date suburbanite recog-
nizes the fact that much is expected of
him, and that the ordinary passer-by is
| beginning to presnppose certain
amount of hedging and green lawn with
the necessary accompaniment of bright
flower beds. Now where brilliant sun
prevails there are endless flowers from
which to choose for borders or entire
| fowerbeds, but where the shady places
are more in evidence there are few flow
ers more lovely than the violet. They
make a charming border for any walk,
while planted in bed in large masses
they are equally delightful. They should
be propagated in April or May either
by runners or by division of the roots,
and need rich well-cultivated soil. If
the soil happens to be light and sandy,
some rich, heavy COW manure should be
Incorporated with it, which is the best
kind to mix in, as it adds the necessary
humus to the land and has cooling
effect. If the runners are pegged down
in early spring they soon take root and
then may be planted out for the sum
mer 10 inches apart each way. ANY run
ners which may appear during the sum
mer should be cut off. as they tend to
weaken the plant itself.
Care, Protection and Pests.
1t is very necessary to keep the ground
well watered and to keep the weeds
down by hoeing between the plants,
which also prevents the earth from
cracking. Niolets viii never flourish in |
hot or dry places, and if planted in poor |
ly prepared ground the gardener must |
expect poor and few blossoms with short |
stubby stalks. The plants may be in
creased by division of the roots, re-
tanning only the healthest and most Wig
orous of the young roots, then planting
them out as described above. During a
very hot season there is apt to be one
pest which must be looked out for.
