Brooklyn Yachtsmen Plan
Big Revival This Summer

After being inactive for the last two
seasons on account Of the war, Brook
Ign yachtsmen arc planning a big re-
vival of the sport this summer. AS
usual, the Atlantic Yacht Club will be
the foremost in the sport on the wat
ers Of the lower bay. Although tho
Sea Gate organization does not plan
to give as many regattas as it did
each season before the war, move
mcnt now is on foot to hold few
races, including a short race week that
will! extend over period of three
days.
The flag officers at the Atlantic Yacht
Club this year are all enthusiastic
racing men Howard S. Borden is
commodore, Edmond Long is vice-com
modore and Horace E. Boucher is rear
commodore Of the organization. The
last named Corinthian also is the fleet
captain Of the club, The flag officers
believe that racing should again be
started this summer and with that
idea in view they are now working on
plans to make July a, S and 6 the
most important days of the summer
on Gravesend Bay.
The present plans call for big
regatta for all classes on 1ndepend-
ence Day. How many yachts will be
in commission on the lower bay this
summer is still mystery. 1t is UNI
derstood that there is going to be an
excellent class of New York Yacht
Club thirty-footers racing below the
Narrows this year. The thirty-footer is
ideal for lower bay racing conditions.
Two already are owned in the At
lantic Yacht Club and it is under
stood that at least two more will be
seen in the feet this summer.
Samuel L. Finlay, who has been
chairman Of the race committee of the
Sea Gate club for the last few years,
again has been appointed to the office.
He aims to boom the handicap class.
Rear Commodore Boucher also is a
strong believer in handicap racing and
plans to offer Victory bonds as prizes
for tho division this season. 1t Is cx-
pccted that at least thirty yachts will
bc in the lower bay handicap class
Tho Atlantic Yacht Club is not going
to devote it's entire time to the pro-
motion of yacht races. Commodore
Borden Is q hydro-airplane expert and

further observed that the changes have
also eliminated practically all climbing
of every kind this side of the railroad
tracks.
Largely owing to difficulties in get
ting the necessary labor and the in
creased cost of labor, it was found i'm
possible to do the work which was
mapped out on the third and fourth
is hoped that these contemplated
changes will soon be made.
On Ross's advice, that it would be
advantageous to let the new green's
get winters frost to settle them, the
green's have not yet been transferred,
but this will be done early in the
spring, and with proper weather con-
ditions it is hoped that the recon
structed course will be in first-class
playing shape by the middle or certain
ly the end of May!
Special attention should be called to
the fact that the changes leave the club
large plot of ground, including all
of the fairway surrounding the old
fourteen green, and the fifteen hole, as
a practice field. 1t is indicated on the
map and supplies long-felt want.
The changes have cost considerably
more than contemplated, or than they
would have cost under normal condi-
tions, but the Board of Governors felt
that the necessity for making radical
changes in the course was imperative,
and therefore concluded to. proceed
with the work even at this increased
cost.
The course is 6,145 yards long; 1885
out and 3.16O in.

THE NEWEST DRINK
''Pickhandle" Will Make A Man Kiss
His Worst Enemy.

"Pickhandle," the newest beverage
known to prohibition officers in
Southern West Virginia, has made it's
debut. This particular and peculiar
drink is called "Pickhandle" because
the authorities say it has kick
worse than an army mule and its
effects are equal TO- shell shock,
Prohibition officer J. Walter Bee Of
Parkersburg, who arrested Tony Barr
sono, with two gallons of the illicit
brew, says it is one brew that will
make man kiss his mother-in-law-
and that is some BREW" the officer
continues.
"Pickhandle" possesses more of a
kick than "Old Hen," another home
made drink made since the State be-
came dry, says Officer Bee. 1t is
made from dried grapes, rafsins,
yeast and other ingredients, includ-
ing pure grain alcohol. Italians, =
he declared, specialize in "Pick-
handle maybe because Of their ex-
periences on section gangs where
Irish bosses rule supreme with a
brawny arm and pickhandle."
Preston county, in Northern West
Virginia, is the official home of "Pick-
handle" because it was first discovered
there. Officer Bee, who made the
first discovery, says they must have
been making it ever since the Balti-
more and Ohio railroad was built,
One man had 81 barrels and another
50. The barrels were emptied.
Since that time lesser quantities have
been confiscated.

JAILER'S WIFE KILLS NEGRO
Saves Husband Menaced by -ReVOlyers
of Two Prisoners Seeking to- Es'
cape.

Attracted to the county Jail at Holly
Springs, Miss, by the sounds OF
shots, Mrs. w. r. Jeffries, wife OF
the jailer, found her huband under
fire of two prisoners seeking to es-
cape.
She secured Jeffres' revolver from
the office and, firing between the bars
in the Jail door, fatally wounded one
of the men, negro, and drove the
other, white, to his cell, where he sent
a bullet into his brain.
Jeffries entered the Jail to lock the
prisoners in their cells, closing the
door behind him. The two prisoners
each armed, confronted him and de-
manded their release. Although I'M
armed, he refused and the men began
to shoot. Seven shots were fired at
him, but owing to the dim light the
aim of the prisoners was poor and
none off the bullets took effect. The
arrival of Mrs. Jeffries put an end to
the one-sided battle.

While in this action the marines

Dear Friend suppose you viii

you were selling the Dodge car, and
the advertisement read IF you want
to know the Dodge ask the boys that
were cover there. 7 am one OF the
boys that are over here. Thought
would drop you a few lines to let
you know what 7 think Of the Dodge,
as I have had quite little ex-
perience with good cars in the
States, as you know, and have had
a great deal over here, and the car
that stands up over here has to be
some car, as they have to 60 any
place, any time, no matter what the
condition of the roads. We have
several i'm our train and all the boys
say they are the best little cars ever
made i'm the States, and, believe me,
they are tough. I never thought the
Dodge was tough or had much power,
but, believe me, it has plenty or
tougnness. and power. Take it from
me the Dodge did its bit when the
war was going on and it is still do
ing it every day.
l received Ezra's address from
mouher the other day; wrote him the
other night, have not heard from him
yet b.: hope to hear from him real
soon.

place when your sons return home,

GIRL TO LEGION~OF HONOR
Clemenceau DecOrates Daughter OF
France Who Defied Germans.

France Who Defied Germans.
There has been a touching scene
in the Office Of w. Clemenceau, OF
which the central figure was a brave
French girl, Louise Thuiliez, on whose
the Cross OF the Legion OF Honor and
the War Cross with Palm. Made
moiselle Thuiliez was accompanied
by members Of her family, and the
eyes of all shone with pleasure as they
heard WI. Clemenceau recall the cir
cumstances of the duty performed
which had merited the decorations.
The girl resides at Valenciennes,
and had twice been condemned to
death by German court-martial be-
cause of her devotion to- the cause or
her country and to the poiluS SEN
tence of death for espionage was
passed upon her about the same time
as on Nurse Cavell. On the interYen-
ton or the Spanish Ambassador the
death sentence was commuted to i'm
prisonment for life, but a fortnight
later another cOurt-martial tried her
on charge or having assisted French
soldiers who had remained in Morval
forest after the capitulation of
Maubeuge and the battle OF Charleroi.
Again the girl was sentenced to
death, and once more was sentence
committed. For three years she had
been in prison, and MI. Clemenceau,
in eulogizing her patriotism, said
she was well worthy of recompense
for her bravery, and warmly con,
graduated her i'm the name OF the
country.

Although the temperature Saturday
night was below freezing and ice
formed on small pools of water and
the ground was slightly frozen, high
winds prevented frost. Because the
atmosphere was dry, the opinion is
general that little damage if any was
done to fruit blossoms. Some grow
ers are of the opinion that the fruit
is injured, and there Is fear that II
the cold continues and the VIVID
falls much damage will be done.
Gardens are not far enough advanc "a
