CURIOUS IDEAS ABOUT GOLF
Some Of Them, That Have Been Pre-

Devotees Of the Game.

Twenty years ago the majority of

many good anecdotes are still told Of
some of the curious ideas they had
regarding the game. one lady, max

Il often see you in your red coat,
Do you need many dogs 10 play golf?'
A younger lady said she knew ex-
actly how the game was played.
"They get what they call caddles
to hunt about in the grass till they
find a round stone, and then they
hit 1t into a rabbit hole"
A third lady, who had evidently en-
joyed a nearer view of the game, said /.

his right hand was thrust into a pot

with gore, as from some hideous

Why oil Floats on Water.

It seems very curious at first sight
that one liquid should be able to float
on the surface of another; but IL we
think carefully about 1t e>see at once
that whether a thing floats on the sur
face of water or not deTcatis upon
two things, writes the Child's Book
Of Wonders. First. whether it is solu-
ble-@that is, will dissolve-in water or
not. For instance, if we put a piece of
salt In water it disappears, because
the salt is soluble in water. If, how
ever. we put a piece of light wood on
water it floats there because it is not
soluble. AMI therefore remains intact,
and also because the weight of the
piece of wood is less than an equal
piece of water. 1t is much the same
with oil. Oil and fat are quite insol.
uhle in water. and as the oil is con-
siderably lighter than the bulk oe wa
ter it floats on the surface.

Forest Fire Is
Big War Evil
!

The president, we are told by Sci
ence, New York, has authorized loan
of $1,000,000 TO the forest service for
fire fighting expenses, to meet emer-
gency conditions in the national for
ests of the northwest and the Pacific
coast.
The loan was made from the special
defense fund of s50,O00o00 placed at
the disposal of the president by con,
gress. 1t is recognized that the pro
lection of the national forests is an
important and essential war activity.
Forestry officials regard the present
Ere season In the northwest as in some
ways the most serious with which the
government has ever had to cope Ear
ly drought, high winds. electrical
storms, labor shortage and depletion Of
the regular protective force as result
of the war have combined to make the
fire conditions unprecedentedly bad
Necessity for resort to the presidential
fund was due to the fact that the up
preparation bill for the department of
agriculture for the current year had
not yet been passed.
