B. C. Tillinghast, Frankford, one of the
real "Old Guard" of Philadelphia golf,
known local player, had a great time at
Philmont Tuesday in the medal round
and, though his score wasn't so good as
those he used to make in the old days,
he had lots of youthful company where
he finished. And he wound UP his round
in blaze of glory when he cast long
approach on the green and ran down
long putt amid the cheers of the gal
| lery.
"What do / care about the scorer" he
said "I'm out for fun" The "old man"
will be right there, as usual, when the
Ancient and Honorables tee up at Merton
| next week.
The mystery OF the long string Of silk
pennants hoisted In the breeze at Phil
mont was cleared up when 1t was eX-
planned that they each showed the colors
| of the different country clubs represented
| in the tournament. 1t was at first
thought they were the signals of some
new and complex weather system, but 1t
was realized before the weather had fin
ished for the day that It would have
taken even more flags than these to
have shown the players what was going
to happen in the way of wind, fog and
floods.

 of searchlight warfare. In that historic night when a storm was raging over New Jersey and Pennsyl- vanfa the colonial general took the British at Trenton by surprise He found the redcoats in the midst of gayeties. little thinking an enemy was in the vicinity.
 Suddenly the British realized the, eo1eniaI army was within the gates " ashington and his men had dashed into the Actresses out of the snow storm. They had caught the sentries peering help1essly into the darkness of the night and the storm. Marching z into Trenton they utterly surprised the British and captured the entire garrf- son
 Should Washington try to duplicate the feat today he would be seen before his boats left the Pennsylvania banks or the Delaware No matter how dark the night. no matter how fierce the storm, the searehliglat Of the defenders would cut off possibility of surprise
 The Japanese emphasized the value of night attacks, and since that war much has been done to minimize their effectiveness. There is one kind of searchlight with which all armies are equipped. It consists Of a generator driven by g gasoline engine mounted on an automobile. Artillery can be used with deadly effect when playing on an assaulting column
 In the absence of searchlight a force can be equipped with a para chute light This is a sort of gre made weighing less than pound It can be shot into the air with a firing stick about hundred yards where it E will hoat for three-qu quarters of a min ute on a quiet night. Another kind of parachute fired with a field gun can be fired a considerable distance and gives dazzling light It burns for about three minutes.
 Inventions in use by che fighting armies are the products of all the na- tions. Some countries have developed these inventions more than others It may be surprising to learn. how many of these inventions have an American origin. although other countries have. developed them more than we have. The electric searchlight is an American invention. although it was not at first a war device. All vessels are equipped with them. They have been used in time of peace to play on a wreck so rescuers could work Now they are
