To the Editor:
There are about 5000 golf clubs in
the country. At an average of 100
acres this means 100000 acres of farm
land held out of use.
Golf incites to profanity lying about
the score. wife neglect, inattention TO
business, Sabbath breaking and other
vices.
Why not prohibit golf during the
war?
On the redeemed links 100,000.000
bushels of potatoes might be grown.
This quantity would furnish 100000
600 messes of French fried potatoes.
Professor Dumkopf. of Yale Univer-
sity. estimates that S.16S.432 foot
pounds of energy are daily wasted by
golfers. The same energy applied to
hoeing corn would produce enough
corn for 13.941.6s7.403 mullins.
Abolish golf during the war.

POLICE DEPT. CHANGES
Sergeant BamfOrth May Be Promoted to Lieutenant and Sergeant Hart Placed in Charge of Detective Bu-


 reau.
 According to apparently authorita- tive information several important changes may shortly be expected in the personnel of the police depart ment. Although the report handed out by the clerk of the police board following the last secret meeting made absolutely no mention of the fact, 1t is understood that considerable time was spent by the commissioners in talking over these proposed changes.
 It is said that the police board is now in favor of placing Sergeant Will liam c. Hart in charge of the detec- tive bureau and to promote Detective Sergeant Samuel Bamforth to new position of lieutenant. It is also un- derstood that the board contemplates the appointment of two new ser- geants, the names of Detective An drew J. Richardson and Traffic Ofn- cer A. E. Atwater being prominently mentioned for the positions.
 Should Detective Sergeant Bamforth be promoted to lieutenant it is under stood that he woud be given the night shift in charge of police head quarters, while Captain Grace would probably be on duty from D. m. until midnight. There would also be an increase in salary for the incumbent, and while no provision has been made for this it is believed that there has been a sufficient amount saved to pro- vide for it. Whether Detective Rich ardson would remain as detective sergeant or be a street sergeant has not been hinted, but it is believed that he would retain his present status
