First Annual Dinner Of New
Association Reveals Many
Interesting Facts

Thirteen years ago at the Apawamis
Golf Club Horace l.. Hotchkiss gave
small party to a number of his friends
who had reached the sere and yellow
age in life when such games as golf
are taken for what they are worth as
a pastime instead of the quality Of
the play. 1t was such a successful Ut
tie party that the Apawamis club TOOK
it up the next year and made the INV
tation more general. This time It was
called the seniors golf tournament, and
all men over the age of fifty were per-
mittcd to compete.
Interest in this most unusual event
grew so fast tina. three years ago four
days were required to complete this
tournament, instead of the one day
that it took to run of the affair so
generously arranged By Mr.. Hotchkiss.
This veteran golfer, who now owns up
10 seventy-fve years, together with
Judge Perkins. of Washington, who was
the oldest contestant in line this year.
has played in every one Of these
senior events since Mr.. Hotchkiss gave
his original little party back in 1894.
There were over three hundred vet
Grams that answered the call this year.
and interest was the same as in for
mer years. despite the fact that 1t was
decided TO curtail the cost OF the prizes
as much as possible and give the bal
ance of the money 10 some war char-
ity. Men cam. from all parts of the
country 10 participate in this tourna-
ment. and if there were Old faces miss
ing Youngsters Just turned tfty-hVe'
the prescribed age when man Is per-
mitted to pay in this tournament,
stepped in to take their places.
About a year ago Walter Brown. OF
Nontclair, suggested that the seniors
should form an organization 70 carry
On this event. instead of accepting year
after year the hospitality OF the Apa-
wants Club. The idea met with such
favor that il was decided that an organl-
cation Of this kind would be the proper
thing. Frank Presbrey, who has always
been a moving spirit in this event, ar
ranged the details of the organization.
This was speedily accomplished. ana IN
January. at q dinner in New YORK, the
association became reality. Inc tour
ngment played this year was the hrst
one held under the auspices OF the new
association, of which ID. j. kingsley, OF
the New York Life. was c ected the nrst
president. On Wednesday evening,
after the days play was over, three
hundred or more veterans, now digni-
fed by being members Of the assoeia-
ton. sat down to dinner, which was the
first annual dianer and meeting.
There were present such important
men in the world of affairs as Justice
Mahlon Pitney. Of the Supreme Court;
Judge Gildersleeve. Morgan J. O'Brien.
d. p. Kingsley. Judge Perkins and To-
mel Worthington, of Washington; DR.:
Carlos Mcdonald. Judge Stoddard. OF
New Haven; W. N. Oler and a host OF
others.

EXAMINATIONS REVEAL
INClPIENT CONSUMPTION
Examining Officers Asked to Notify
Board of Health of All Men
with Weak Chests

The physical examination of men
who have been enrolled for the new
army is expected by the State Board
of Health to show that several thous-
and Virginians not known to have
consumption are suffering from the
disease and stand in need of treat
ment.
In anticipation OF the results of this
examination, the board yesterday
wrote all the medical members of the
local boards of exemption and asked
their cooperation in the diagnosis and
report of these cases. On the basis
of this information. the board expects
to appeal for such action as may be
necessary to safeguard the health of
these men and of those who may be
exposed. by the contact with them,
to the danger OF infection.
The board Is being guided In It's
action by the experience of France
since the outbreak of the war. In
the hurry Of mobilization in August,
1914. French surgeons passed into the
ranks many men who were suffering
from consumption. Trench warfare
and active campaigning has aggravated
the disease in these men and, contrary
to the traditional experience in earlier
wars. has led to the infection of many
who were healthy when they entered
service. The result has been that the

SECTION ON CIIILDREN'S AID
CARRIES On LARGE WORK.
The section on childrens aid has
been operated through seventeen sub
committees and numerous brancnes
throughout the State. The section has
provided and shipped abroad 44Sa
articles, having a nominal value OF
Sl.664.65. A special branch of this sec
ton was organized April /. 1917. to
secure the adoption OF orphan chill
dren OF France. through the organiza-
ton for the Relief of the Fatherless
Children Of France. This special branch
has secured the adoption Of seventy
three children for varying periods. and
the sum Of $2.o29.i3 has been collected
and turned over to pay for the main
tenance Of the children sc adopted.
The clothing made has been shipped
TO various organizations. including the
Comite Franco American. Madam Leon
Vile. Hasbrouck, France; Ouvroir
Holophone. 156 Boulevard Hausman
Paris, and other organizations OF a
similar character. Many letters of ac-
acknowledgement and appreciation have
come to this section. and earnest ap-
peals are constantly being received
that the work may be continued as
the present need is greater than ever.
This section has also shipped leo sheets
for children's beds in Belgian hos
pitfalls. which were sent at the request
Of the Queen OF the Belgians.
The section on hospital supplies has
sent forward during the year. 1S2.7o1

facilities of the French for the treat
ment OF consumption have been great
ly overtaxed and. even now, are in
adequate to the demands made upon
them.
Arguing from this gloomy phase OF
the war. the board is hoping that chest
examinations made when the men are
called UP will reveal most of the con-
sumptives and thereby will reduce the
chances OF infection within the army
But the solution of this problem is
regarded by the board as merely pre-
scnting another-that of caring for
