Philadelphia Players TO Meet

one of the big matches today will be
I'm the beaten eight Of the second six
teen, and many a kCpeCk is being
wagered on il. The participants are
Bill Cleveland, Of Aronimink, and Well
ington Wood. formerly Of WhitemaTsh,
Atlantic city and other courses in the
Philadelphia district, and now hailing
from Cobbs Creek,
Wood sprang into sudden fame two
years ago when he won the medal for
thirty-siN holes in the Wilmington tour
nament with a remarkably fine score,
outplaying Clarke CorlTan and a half
dozen other men on the National Han
dicap list Since that time he has not
figured prominently in tournament play.
but he expects to stage "A comeback and
he has picked Cleveland as the goat
Bill has japanese jinX, and he is going
10 work it for all it is worth this
morning.
cleveland is the odds on favorite
Both are splendid conversationalists as
well as golfers, but Bill's line of talk is
more subtle Please do not get the
idea that either one of them would at
tempt to talk the other out Of the match,
FOR they are not that type OF golfers,
but there are plenty of opportunities
for conversation after the tee shots and
both have interesting stories TO tell
each other
Wood Is Soulhpaw
The golfers are backing Bill to a man,
and in the event Of his being beaten he
has stationed his mCtorcar near the
eighteenth hole so that he can make a
quick getaway Wood is a southpaw,
but Cleveland says that il is bad form
TO play lefthanded and clearly at
variance with the rules Of the game.
Wood, on the other hand, says when he
gets through with Bill his opponent
will be only too glad to play lefthanded.

origin Claimed by Turks.

According to the Osmanli historians,
the original Turk was a grandson of
Noah. Though there were only eight
people in the ark when it was first
fOated, there were nine, it is asserted,
when it landed at Mount Arrat. The
additional one was the eldest son of
Japhet, born during the flood. His
name was Turk. A descendant in the
fourth generation, one Alindje Khan,
had two sons (twins) who We're named
Tartar-Khan and Mogul-Khan. Tartar
was the father of the Turks; Mogul
was the father of the MOngOls. Turks
and MOngOlS were thus closely related
by birth, and the wars which at once
broke out between them, and the rec
OnciliatiOns that speedily ensued, had
much of the nature of family quarrels.
The Turks were the more frequently
triumphant, one MOngOl throne after
another yielding to their arms. Not till
the Christian era was we'll advanced
did the chronological name of these chill
dren of Japhet appear in history.

RESULTS FROM GOOD ROADS
After Improvement Price of TiIIaIA9
Lands Show Big Increase-chiI-
dren Benefited.

After improving the main market
roads in four counties in Virginia
and one each in New York, Alabama,
Florida and Mississippi during q Pc
Rod Of five years, a survey was made
Of the work and tits results. 1t was
found that the price of tfIlable land
served by the roads increased from
one to three times the total cost Of the
improvements. The total saving every
year in hauling costs due to this i'm
prOVement in the roads amounts to
1927, 400 for a traffic Of about $780,
600 ton miles. The net saving on the
hauling, after deducting the cost OF
interest and principal for the improve
ments, averages 11-6 cents per ton mile.
After the roads were better, the aver
age attendance OF children in the pub
lie schools was 76 per cent; before the
roads were improved it was 66 per
cent. Ten more children out OF every
100 were enabled to get schooling as
result Of better roads.
