The general commander-in-chief to
the ladies of the American Fund for
French Wounded, civilian committee,
at Blerancourt. Aisne:
Il fully appreciate the report which
you have sent me concerning the relief
work for the civilian population in the
army zone. Work such as yours renders
not only great material aid. but con-
tributes in great measure to the good
morale of the troops. The French SOL
diers are largely agriculturalists, and
nothing could comfort them more than
to see their fields cultivated. planted
and harvested.
Il cannot too greatly encourage work
capable of bringing material help and
al the same time unquestioned moral
support. Again expressing to you the
testimony of my appreciation. I beg
you. mesdames, accept my most re-
spectful homage.

Women Librarians at Hospitals.

The American Library Association
will direct the hospital library work
under the War Department commission
on training camp activities. Miss Caro-
line Webster library organizer for New
York state. has Joined the stan of the
American Library Association in Wash
ington to take general charge Of this
new branch of the service.
So far the chief difficulty has been to
secure book space In the hospitals and
living accommodations for the libra
rians. 1t is expected that the Librarians
will be accommodated as nurses are
and that they will be on the same
standing as the regular hospital staffs-
The positions will not be filled entirely
by trained librarians. since. it is stated,
there are many women without tech
nlcar library training who would by
reason Of personal qualifications be en-
inently suited to the work. The duties
of the librarian will include reading to
the cVnvalescent soldiers.
This work has been done with great
success in England since the beginning
of the war by several well known lit
erary women who have made the hos
pital libraries their particular care
Miss Elizabeth Robbins has been prom
iently identified with the work there.
The most prominent of the women who
have been doing the work in this coun-
try Is Alice Hogan Rice. the author,
who has acted as librarian of the hos
pital library at Camp Taylor. KY.

REID NCES DOOM
OF Et-SH0T HLLES
Scarcity of Good Ones Makes
Their Presence on Course
Unsound.

Those golfers who have talked with
Wilfred Reid. the professional at the
Wilmington Country Club, have found
him to be an exceptionally intelligent
fellow. says the Philadelphia Record. Ion
professionals may be divided INTO TWO
classes, one made up of the initiative COLL
ers, who play wonderful golf, but VINO
have not the ability to teach others, ana
the smaller class which IN many cases
does not play so well, but "hich can
teach intelligently.
This latter class is of more value TO the
country club than the pro who plays
regularly in the seventies, but who is un-
able to impart any golfng knowledge to
the club membership. Reid not only
PLAYS very fine golf. but he is one of the
best colfing teachers IN the country.
II YOU have stopped to analyze the
average score card of any golf course
in the country YOU will find that it is
made UP of ten holes with par of four, four
holes with par of three and four with a
par of FIVE. In other words, the average
par is Il.
Take half dozen of the more important
clubs in this district and you will find the
par as follows: Huntington Valley, y;
Whitemarsh, -; Philadelphia Cricket,
-; Philmont. -: Merton, east course, 20;
Atlantic City, 90; Riverton, u
The low par for Atlantic City is due
to the fact that the course has SIX one
shot holes and the yardage is only 6,00l.
While Merton is 6,420 yards long, the
low par is due to the fact that there are II
par four holes and only two par five holes.
Philmonts low par is due to five one shot
holes and only three par FIVE holes, while 1t
is only 6,O55 yards long.
To get back to Reid. He SAYS that the
time is coming when we will not have n
five par hole on any course In the country.
and after YOU have heard his reasons YOU
will probably agree with him. He says
with very few exceptions, there are no
really good three shot holes IN the coun-
trv. In other words, IT is possible to
blngle at least one shot and yet get TO
the green in the third shot.
He does not make any exceptions, but
there are three three-shot holes on aS
many Philadelphia courses where II IS not
possible to miss shot and still reach the
green on the third shot hole. One Is the
sixteenth at Huntingdon Valley, which Is
sos wards long the second Is the eleventh
ut Whitemarsh. which is 525 yards long.
and the third is the seventh at Pine Val
lev There are others, perhaps, but not
MANY.
Reid figures that, as this Is the case, II Is
far better To have a course made up Ct
first-class one and two shot holes than To
include a number Of indifferent three
shooters
