Notes..

Norval Richardson's story of "Shei-
la" very real love-affair of Doctor
Brooke's, in the November Scribner,
has an amusing vein of humor plus
sentiment. The author is Secretary
of the Embassy at Rome and friend
of Ambassador Page.
There are four poems in the No
vember Scribner with the war as a
motive: Marion N. Gaskill's "Crusa-
ders," Hamilton Fish Armstrong;
"The College, 1917" Alice L. Bun
ner's "Ordered to France" and Char
les Buxton Going's "They Who Wait"
They all carry note of deep feeling
and few will read them without emo
ton. Crusaders" will certainly go
into the anthologies.
Henry James photographed pa
ers, 1.-THE Middle Years"-the second
one is in the November Scribner--
has number of interesting impress
sions of Tennyson. One his expert
ences was to hear the poet read his
own verses.

Luke McLuke SAYS.

Wen bet you a dime that right off
the bat without stopping to think
for while you can't remember just
what it was that you swore off on
last New Years Day.
Always remember that when ar
enemy buries the Ratchet, he leaves
the handle sticking out SO he car
find it in a hurry.
How would you like to be a boy
again and have mother stand beside
the table when you were eating and
shoe the flies off the food with a
paper brush?
Isn't it strange how wise a man
can be in business and what fool
he can be in love?
furthermore, how can the beardless
youth who marries a girl who has a
mustache expect to be boss in his
household?
A woman will worry over nothing
and then bawl her husband out as a
heartless brute because he won't
worry with her.
Don't place too high a valuation on
the man who talks too much. A pen
ny can rattle around and make more
noise than $1,000 bill.
Of course q girl wouldn't think of
proposing to a man. o, dear no!
But she will get close enough to him
so that he can feel the warmth of her
body and inhale the perfume of her
hair, and she will sigh and announce
that she expects to die an old maid
because nobody loves her. And, of
course, the male boob by her side
does just exactly as she expected he
would do. But she wouldn't cast
aside her maidenly modesty and pro-
pose to a man. o, dear no!
Another reason why a married wo-
man is so careless about losing her
temper is because she knows that her
husband will catch it.
A husband is an animal who believes
that he has a right to use his wife's
tooth brush, but who wants a divorce
if she uses his comb.
Some men would hate to vote with
the winning side in an election, be-
cause they wouldn't have an excuse
to kick on the administration.
A married man can't see what kick
old Adam had. Eve never read his
old love letters to him 10 years after
they started housekeeping.
' About this time of year the June
brides are realizing how perfectly
simple they were when they imagined
that their husbands were simply per-
feet.
A man wants to meet his fate. But
woman hasn't that much patience.
She goes out looking for him.

LIST OF LEGISLATORS CHOSEN.

Newark, Nov. Local option won
at the election in New Jersey yester-
day. Enough Assemblymen pledged
to local option were elected to insure
its passage by tn Legislature with
out difficulty.
The Republicans made q clean
sweep except in such counties as
Hudson, Hunterdon and Warren
which only miracle could take from
the Democratic ranks, returns showed
today. In the other eighteen coun-
ties the Republicans elected forty
six Assemblymen, majority of them
local option advocates.
Eight Senators were elected, six Re-
publicans and two Democrats. With
those who hold over the Senate will
stand fifteen Republicans and six
Democl ats. Not since long before
Governor Wilson's time has the DEM
ocratic Party had such small rep
resentation in both Houses and the
State Legislature.
For number of years the Senate
has been passing local option bills,
only to have them turned down in the
House. Governor Edge, though not
in favor of local option, has promised
to sign such bill if it passes both
Houses. Many Democrats recalled
today the attempt last spring by big
Democrats of the State to have the
Democratic minority at Trenton help
put through local option bill. Mi
nority Leader Elmer Geran and Sec
rotary of State Thomas F. Martin
led the fight, with the backing of
Joseph P. Tumulty, Secretary to the
President, but Nugent defeated the
plan.
The makeup Of the next Legisla-
ture follows:
Senators.
Atlanta, Emerson L. Richards, Rep.
Bergen-Wm. B. Mackay, Jr., Rep.
Burlington-Harold B. Wells, Rep.

Improvement For
Englewood Golf Course

No one need be surprised to hear
one Of these fine days that the Engle-
wood Country Club has decided to
lengthen and stiffen up it's course
particularly the last nine holes. The
club is composed of a crowd of pro-
gressive golfers, and they are not the
kind to be satisfied with a links that
does not measure up to championship
requirements in every way.
And it is, becoming increasingly
evident that Englewood, as at present
laid out, is not of championship cali
Der Too. many low scores have been
made there for the comfort of those
members who want to be able to say
that their links ranks among the best
Three notable examples of freakishly
low scores made at Englewood makes
it plain that something must be done
to make the course harder. One, or
even two, such occurrences might be
considered more or less of an acct
dent, but three of them means that
all is not as it should be.
AS far back as 1911, Gil Nichols
startled the Englewood golfers by
playing their course in sixty-six dur
ing the progress of the metropolitan
open championship, and since that
time, and probably as result of
Gips record, a number of new traps
have been constructed and the course
other ways.
Two events of the season which is
now drawing to a close indicate that
the stiffening-up process did not eff
feet complete cure. The first Of
them came several weeks ago, when
Mrs. William A. Gavin played the
last nine holes in 81 during her handi-
cap match with Jerome Travers. 1t
was wonderful golf, for a woman, that
Mrs. Gavin played that day, but we
doubt very much if she could have
done as we'll on another course. All
of US who watched her lost sight of
that fact in our enthusiasm and ad-
miration for her splendid golf, but a
little sober reflection shows that the
comparative easiness Of the Engle-
wood probably had great deal to do
with it.
Then last week in friendly round
Jerry Travers played those same last
nine holes in 80, and finished with
4 on the last hole while doing it. Par
for that hole is 3, so but for the fact
that he followed friends advice and
used the wrong club from the tee
he almost certainly would have come
home in 80. Wonderful putting, the
kind that won four amateur and one
open championships for him, was
largely responsible for the remark
able score, but the nature Of the
course doubtless had its full share in
bringing about the result.
For these reasons, therefore, we
predict that before long Englewood
will stiffen up its course. AS we said
before, the members of the club are
the kind who do not want any one to be
able to refer to their course as easy"
so it is safe to say that they will get
busy in an attempt to obviate any
danger of such sighting references
in the future Of course, the war may
cause them to delay making any
changes, but. they will keep the mat
ter in mind until the firss Favorable
opportunity to do something.
The last time we played at Engle-
wood it took US we'll over 40 to play
those last nine holes, so we shall have
to qualify our previous statement by
saying that they are "easy" only for
real golfers.-Evening Mail.
