Services in Creating
Municipal Golf Course

I am in favor of such courses all over
the country. They can do much good
toward the promotion of health and good
citizenship. 1 find that people throughout
the state have heard and read of the
Birmingham course and all that 1 have
talked to are in favor of it. There can
be no doubt that the people want and
will have a golf course In Birmingham,
which will be a forerunner for courses
all over the state"
]. Lee Hackney of the Harvey Sys-
tenn, is another golf enthusiast who sees
great good in the municipal golf course.
81 see men every day who come to Bir-
mngham from other cities who would
enjoy a game of golf if a course for
the public was Open" said Mr.. Hackney.
II recently returned from a visit to
Springfield Mo. A golf course of the finest
type is in that city which is much smaller
than Birmingham. 1t is rendezvous for
all the people who enjoy healthful exer-
else. The links are dotted with peo-
pie from morning to night. I believe there
is a total of over 200 golf courses in
Missouri We people of Birmingham
should get busy and make the same thing
true in Alabama. Birmingham would be
a good city to start the ball rolling"
NONPLAYERS FOR 1T
Robert Howard of the sheriffs office
is for the golf course. Il think the
building of a golf course is forward
step" said Mr.. Howard. II am like n
great many citizens who are in favor of
the golf course even if they are not
players. Because I do not happen to be
a golf fan is no sign 1 wish to deprive
the rest of the people of game which
I am told is extremely interesting and
healthful Green Springs is a beautiful
spot and the land should, and will. be con-
verified into a recreatioA park soon if I
am to judge the sentiment of the people
on this project"
Ed Co1ley of the Mudd- Colley Amuse-
ment company. says he feels as if Bir-
mingham had the golf course already
1.-THE golf course for the people is sure
thing" said Mr.. Colley. IT hear people
talking about 1t every hour of the day
and there is a unanimous demand for
it. Anything that tends to make this
city more attractive to the visitor as
well as the resident should go through
without hitch We have all any city
wants in the way of natural resources.
What we need is the pull-together spirit
that does things. I think this spirit
prevails here in regard to the municipal
golf course"

Ell Paso, Tex, March 21.-Pancho
Villa has been driven into trap by
the rapid advance of the American
troops, according to the information
received Sunday in wireless dis
patches from the front and in tele-
graphic messages to Gen. Gabriel Ga
vira, Carranza commander at Juarez.
Everything seems now to depend on
the ability of the Carranza garrisons
to hold their end of the net. On three
sides the bandit chief is hemmed In
by strong Carranza columns, while on
the fourth the American soldiers are
driving forward with amazing speed.
Villa was in the Babricora lake re-
gion, on the ranch of Mrs. Phoebe
Hearst, which he has ravaged several
times in the past. Babricora is about
flfty-five miles south of Galena,
where one section of the American
expeditionary force has arrived and Is
pushing forward at the rate of thirty
three miles a day. A few miles west
OF the bandits position is Namiquipa,
which is held by a powerful Carranza
garrison. On the west are the frown-
ing barriers of the Sierra Madre
mountains, barring the way to Sonora.
Gen. Gutierrez, Carranza's field chief.
declares that he holds all the passes
to Sonora. To the South Villas way
is blocked by the Carranza garrison
from MADEIRA, a town of considerable
Importance. 1t is headquarters Of The
MADEIRA Company, Ltd, an American
concern with vast lumber, mining and
railroad interests. On account of the
Importance OF this town, an exception.
ally heavy Carranza force Is said to
hold it.
The whole situation seems to hang
on the Carranzistas. II they remain
loyal to the first chief. which up to
the present they have shown every
Indication of doing, Villa appears
trapped 1t is, of course, realized
that he is on ground of his own choos
ing and in a country admirably suited
for guerilla warfare and surprise at
tacks.
While Carranza leaders and United
States authorities have avoided any
| friction there is one serious question
which may arise at any time tc
threaten the entire situation: AS the
lines of communication of the Ameri
can force lengthen, the problem d
bringing up supplies becomes increas
ingly more pressing. 1t is expected
here that Washington sooner or later
will request permission OF Gen. Car
rama to use the Mexican railroads ii
such a request has not already been
made. To grant that might be a ster
which would be misconstrued by many
Mexicans. On the other hand re
fusal would scarcely harmonize with
the professed desire of the Carranza
government to cooperate in every
way with the American authorities
The arrival of this crisis is being anX

Islands Disappearing.

A RE the islands of Chesapeake bay
u soon to become nothing more than
memories? Apparently this is true, be-
cause coast survey reports are to the
erect that many of the islands are
rapidly being washed away. The ac-
ton of high water, winds and tides, it
is stated, is responsible for the gradual
disappearance of many of them.
Tilghman's Island, for example, about
three square miles in area, is disap-
pearing at an annual rate that is no.
ticeable. In 1s47 this island contained
2,O15 acres. according to government
surveys. In 1900 the area of the island
had decreased to 329 acres, and in the
last ten years three acres more have
been washed away along the bay side
The island now has a population of
about 900 people, mainly supported by
the crab and fish industries.
Sharps Island is another body of land
in Chesapeake bay that is rapidly sue
cumbing to the combined destructive
work of wind and water. 1t formerly
was part of Tilghmans Island, being
separated from the latter many years
ago. In 1S4S Sharps Island contained
AS acres, and in 1910 only fffty-three
acres remained. Surveys this summer
showed the islands area to be only
forty-eight acres, and it is expected it
will have disappeared altogether by
1929. During especially high tides at
this time it is entirely submerged. Mo-
body lives there now, though at one
time the island had large summer
hotel well as a permanent popula-
ton. Nothing but the shell of the hotel
remains today, all of the other houses
and buildings having been washed
away or otherwise removed or de-
stroyed.
James Island, another of the lower
bay islands, is two miles long and
three-quarters of mile wide. In 17l5
James Island contained / 1,490 acres, ac-
cording to surveys of that year. BY
1S48 the waves had washed away fS5
acres. and in 1901 only about 500 acres
Today the area OF the island
is 420 acres, and not soul lives on it.

in queues down their backs. Also, in

Nelson disobeyed orders and retrieved

navy's perpetual mourning for Nelson.
The only part of an officers uniform
to which any meaning can be attached
the three buttons which every mid
shpman wears on the front of his
cuffs also ascribed at least by tra-
dition, to Nelson. 1t is said that one
day the admiral was inspecting a cer-
tain frigate in his command when he
noticed certain stains on the cuffs of
the midshipman lined up for scrutiny.
He asked the captain what the stains
were and was informed that. as some
midshipman or other was always at
the masthead for punishment, or to
keep a good lookout, the wind, high
above decks. caused their noses to be-
come moist, as any normal nose might
be expected to become in such circum-
stances. Clinging with both hands to

well, cuffs often came in mighty handy.
Thereupon the three buttons were or
