WORTHLESS DAYS WILL BE ca

Washington, February - The
voorhees, Monday Will be continued
indefinitely.
This was the official admission OF
the Fuel Administration, following a
conference between W. @. McAdoo,
railroad director. and H. A. Garfield,
fuel administrator, today.
McAdoo had gone into the confer
ence In favor OF abandoning the week.
ly holidays. He was persuaded, how
ever, that the fuel situation was SO
critical that the heatless Mondays
could not be discontinued without
causing increased suffering.
Garfield is convinced they must con-
tinue and additional embargoes on
nonessential freight enforced to re-
lieve the situation.
Three heatless Mondays have been
observed 80 far. There are seven more
on the program under Garflelds orig
inal order.

Senator Wadsworth, Republican

spokesman, but several expect to
speak tomorrow and, in spite of eff
forts to curtail the agitation, so many
senators have indicated their inten-

ARE ADVERTISED MEDICINES
WORTHLESS?

There is no more reason to con-
denim all advertised medicines than
there is to condemn all physicians or
all druggists. Fakes there are in ev-
cry profession and in every trade, but
they do not last long. Take a medi-
cine like Lydia E. Pinkham's Veget-
able Compound, the true test Of its
merits is the fact that for forty years,
1t has been relieving women Of Amer
lea from the worst forms Of female
ailments, constantly growing in pop
ularity and favor, until it is now rec
ognized from ocean to ocean as the
standard remedy for female ills.

Mcnamara and GuIhgan
Vict0TS in Golf Mach

A most interesting game Of golf was
played yesterday in the free for all
Red Cross match at the Marine and
Field Club. Those who took part were
the same quartet who played last sum-
mer, when the majority of the club
members were absent on that occasion.
Tom Mcnamara and the local pro-
fessional, James Galligan, won on that
occasion, and they were the vlctors
yesterday by 1 up, through Galligan
sneaking in 3 on the seventeenth
hole, which gave them the victory by
l up. Their opponents, Carl Anderson
and A. w. Chappa, were at the top OF
their game, and they made the match
most Interesting from start to hnlsh.
They started off in a dashing style
on the first hole of 300 yards. Carl
Anderson drove the green. but rolled
eff the side down the bank. The other
three were short of the green. but on
their approach pitches Mcnamara lay
dead to the hole in 2 and won it in
3 The second and third holes were
halved in par, but Mcnamara boosted
his lead to UP by winning the fourth
in 2.
Carl Anderson came to the front
on the fifth hole in 3, one stroke under
par. The sixth was halved, but the
seventh was won by Mcnamara in 3,
one stroke under par. The eighth was
won by Galligan in 3. The ninth hole
was halved in 3, one stroke under par,
with Mcnamara and Galilgan leading
by 3 up at the turn. They went out IN
81 to 81, and the gallery was greatly
interested in the match.
The tenth hole was also favorable
to the home team, as Mcnamara won
it in 8. one stroke under par, sending
their lead to up. 1t was here that
Anderson got busy, as he won the
eleventh and twelfth holes in 8. each
one stroke under par. The thirteenth
and fourteenth holes were both halved
in par. The fifteenth, however, was
won by Anderson in one stroke under
par.
The match was squared on the six
teenth hole, when Chiappa ran down
a long curved putt for a 3, one stroke
under par. The turning point was on
the seventeenth hole, when Galligan
missed. The eighteenth hole looked
like sure thing for Anderson and
Chiappa, each of whom had made g.,
Mcnamara q a, when Gailigan slid in
again with half for 8.
This gave the match to Mcnamara
and Galligan, by up. Their best ball
scores were:
Galligan and Mcnamara:

Anderson and ohaDgg":s i J 3 5 - s-s4

defeating Miss Hooker She showed
steadiness throughout the match and

Hooker would end The fight by driving

games brought out spirited playing, also
gong to deuce several times, before
Miss Hooker would find it difficult to
get Miss Rice's drives over the net.
In the first set Miss Rice scored
many OF her points on placement shots
and returns to the back baselnes that
found Miss Hooker out of position for
the return. The driving of Miss Rice
was also the stronger and often Miss
hooker could not return the ball prop
erly. In the second set, Miss Hooker
braced considerably in her playing. but
was unable to fathom the craftier game
of her opponent.
