WHY not hold an amateur.professonal
w tournament in Philadelphia as one OF
tho attractions on the list of golf entertain
ments for the season? Down at that Mecca
Of winter golf, Pinehurst. the annual anna
teur-professional competition that is sand
wiched between the open and the amateur
North and South championships is one of
the most popular events on the preseason
calendar. The stellar pros of the country
and the best of the unpaid golfers form
combinations, play four-ball matches. and
there is always the keenest of golf Up in
the Metropolitan district they have num-
ber of such events dottng the programs,
and there is n big turnout of the two great
classes of golfers to take advantage of the
opportunity TO work together as partners.
Just now we have n golf fund for the war
sufferers. and this fund will be increased,
As the entrance fees for the various tourna-
ments held by the Golf Association of Phila-
delpha are appropriated to it.
Should some progressive leader organize
a four-ball amateur and professional tour
nament. patterned on the lines of the popu-
lar North and South event, and have It held
on one OF our local courses, there would
undoubtedly be an immediate rush on the
part of the tutors and the cracks to arrange
for starting times. An entrance fee would
be charged and the worthy golf fund would
be thereby greatly increased.
An element Of fnterclub rivalry would be
in evidence If the pros were to take on one
of the best golfers of his club as a partner.

local golfer, Is to have both net and n

spectators and others will note them:

June i--City high school track and field
championships, at Houston Field.
There has been considerable doubt in the
minds Of some of the scholastic fans as to
the time Of holding the city track and field
meet, Some were under the impression this
annual titu,ar event would be held SONS
time this week.
Dr Mathew G. O'Bren, Central Highs
track coach who handles the entries and
usually always arranEes the program for
the meet, said last night
when the question came up there was
only one day 10 hold it near the end Of the
present month and that was Monday, June
4. The intcracademcs are on Friday, and
while we could hold il the same day ! do
not think it advisable TO hold two big title
meets the same afternoon. I think the
other track coaches are OF the same opin-
ion."

LOGGING TRUCKS MAKE ROAD
One Type Of Car Used in Far West
Has Front Tires Of Ten Inches and
Rear Ones Of Twenty.

Powerful wide-tired trucks are now
being used in logging regions in Ore
Gon and Washington, which virtually
make their own roads as they go. One
type of these cars is described in Popu-
lar Mechanics Magazine. 1t has front
tires 10 inches wide. An expert
enced driver carefully selects his
course as he goes over a route for the
first time and the weight Of his ma
chine makes a road as 1t moves along.
A few trips over the same line Of
travel serves to make hard. smooth
surface which will withstand consid-
erable bad weather. Four-wheeled
tralle-s are often used with these
trucks.

There Were Any Bones to Be Left

For half an hour the working class
audience had listened patiently to the
talented lady who was speaking to
them about economical and nourishing
cookery. She had talked about egg
less puddings and BUTTERFLIES cakes,
and now said. with a smile:
IL will now tell you about splendid
soup which can be made for next to
nothing. Take the bones left over
from your Sunday joint"
Al that a man in the middle Of the
hall rose to his feet with a disguised
look on his face and said to his mate:
"'Ere. Bill lets get out o this"
"What's wrong?" asked the other. In

A Freudian Physician.

Roses arrival at the dinner-a little

created q mild sensation. None Of

on whom she could have the effect
Of novelty. But when she came into
the drawing room-in such a wonder
full gown-put on tonight because she
felt somehow like especially pleasing
Rodney-when she came in, she re-
oxygenated the social atmosphere.
She was, in fact. a stranger. Her
voice had a bead on II which reused

citernent-the kind of bead which, in
singing. makes all the difference be-

real work. But work isn't done like
that. Works overcoming something
that resists; and there's strain in 1t,
and pain and encouragement"
In her cheeks the red flared up
brighter. She smiled again-not her
own smile-one, at any rate. that was
new 10 her. you don't solve an in
tellectual problem then" she quoted,
"'by having your hand held, or your
eyes kissedT"
Whereupon he shot a look at her
and observed that evidently he wasn't
as much Of a pioneer as he thought.
She did not rise to this cast, how
ever. "All right" she said; admitting
that her ankles are serious and her
mind isn't, what is Joan going to do
about it?'
Its easier to say what she's not to
do" he decided, after hes;tating a mo-
ment. Her fatal mistake will be to
despise her ankles without disciplining
her mind. II she will take either
one Of them seriously, or both for
that matter FITS possible she'll do
very WELL"
He could. no doubt. have continued
upon the theme indefinitely. but the
table turned the other way just then
and Rose took up an alleged conver-
sation with the man at her right which
lasted until they left the table, and
included such topics as indoor golf,
woman's suffrage, the new dances,
Bernard Shaw, Campanini, and the
political parties; with a perfectly
appropriate and final comment upon
each.
Rose didn't care. She was having a
wonderful time-a new kind Of Won
derful time. No longer gazing, big
eyed like little Cinderella, at a pag-
cant some fairy godmother's whim had
admitted her to. but consciously gazed
upon; she was the show, tonight, and
she knew IL. Her low, finely modu-
lated voice. so rich In humor, SO varied
in color, had tonight an edge upon 1t
that carried 1t beyond those she was
Immediately speaking to, and drew
looks that found 1t hard to get away
again. For the first time in her life,
with full self-consciousness, she was
producing effects. thrilling with the
exercise Of q power as obedient to
her will as electricity to the manipu-
lator Of q switchboard.
She was like a person driving an
airplane, able to move in all three
dimensions. Pretty soor. of course,
she'd have to come back to earth,
where certain monstrously terrifying
questions were waiting for her.

Its not quite the Oldest and most
primitive thing in the world. but near
ly. Only. Darby and Joan aren't prirI-
tive people. Each Of them Is carry
ing a perfectly enormous superstrlc-
ture Of ideas and inhibitions, emo
tional refinements. and capacities, and
the attraction is SO disguised that they
don't recognize II.
Absence Of common knowledge and
common interests only makes Darby
and Joan fall victims to the very dan
gerous illusion that they're .ntellec-
tual companions. They think they're
having wonderful talks, when all they
are doing Is making love"
"And poor JOAN" said Rose, after
a palpable silence. but evenly enough.
who has tho ght all along that she
was attracting a man by her intelli-
gence and her understanding, and all
that, wakes up to find that she's been
married for her long eyelashes. and
her nice voice-and her pretty ankles.
That's q little hard on her. don't you
think, II she's been taking herself
seriously?"
"Nine times in ten." he said, 'she's
fooling herself. She's taken her own
ankles much more seriously than she
has her mind. She's capable Of real
sacrifices for them. Intelligence she
| regards as q gift. She thinks witty
conversation. or bright letters to a
friend. are real exercises Of her mind
