fer dues about the time Pro-
hibition dries up the 18th hole. House
committees already are figuring how
to make up the loss of revenue at the
spot where only championship golf
is played over tall glasses. Few
clubs are able to make a substantial
proht from the cuisine. The refresh

courses that remained unfinished be-
cause of the war. Chief in this num-
Der will be the Pine Valley Club, out
