Cool.

Your golf enthusiast is q cucumber
in some respects. While playing over
Z corporation course one evening l
witnessed an amusing little incident
which eloquently illustrates the golfing
point Of view. A ball driven from the
tee sailed gracefully in the direction
Of the green and administered hard
knock on the unoffending Uranium Of a
player who was studying his mashie
shot few yards from the green. I'm
very sorry my ball hit you" said the
driver when he reached the offended
one. Then, as he caught sight Of his
ball lying close to the hole, he ejacu.
lated in cheering voice: "Oh, it isn't
so bad; I'm we'll up to the pin!"-

claimed: Good heavens, what thun-
dering lot of parrots" Needless to

LONDON STARTS
 NEW METHOD FOR ITS RESTAURANTS

London, Dec. 20-(Correspondence of the Associated Press) feeding on 8 huge scale through the establishment of 4,O0O national res taurants Is planned for London.s The project is to bee arried out jointly by the National Kitchens division of the Ministry of Food and the Ma tional Caterers Protective Society. The three main points of the scheme are:
 Establishing buying organizations for the collective purchase of food stuffs.
 Providing efficient equipment on a cooperative basis.
 An agreed system of inspection of catering establishments to secure reasonable prices and good condi tjons of management.
 The caterers expected to take part in the enterprise are all members of the Protection society and they will be permitted to use for their estab- rshments the title of National Res taurant" There will be uniform menus and prices will be fixed at a figure to ensure a reasonable profit to the caterer and yet be easily within the limits of the average purse. A high standard of efficiency and cleanliness will be exacted.
 A national restaurant recently es- abolished in London has proved a marked success. It is making a net weekly profit of $500, and @ls is pointed to as proof that the. provision of cheap. well cooked food to Lon don's millions, served under bright, cleanly conditions can be made finan- cially profitable.

Dealers Are
Stocking Up On
Fur Hats Early

With the temperature what II has
been for the last few days 1t seems
somewhat inconsistent. according to
the bulletin of the Retail Millinery
association of America. TO talk of fur
hats, but inasmucll as they are al
ready being shown and sold for winter
wear the inconsistency is somewhat
abridged.
las the situation was explained to
u.s." the bulletin goes on, the reason
the manufacturer is making much or
his goods this early is that buyers
may effect a great saving by buying
30 much In advance IT has been found
that number Of buyers throughout
the country are very DESTROYS OF taking
advantage OF this opportunity.
According to what one n1anufac-
turer had TO say on the subject. the
short-haired furs will be used almost
exclusively for hats and trimmings.
The reason for this. obviously. Is that
these furs are rather flattering, while
the long haired furs are very tying.
OF course, the number Of styles Is very
limited and confines itself almost en-
tir~ly to the turban and the tam. One
feature shape Is small cuH-brim tri-
corne which can be worn with the
long side tn the front. thus giving a
parallel side effect. It can also be
worn with one of the short sides to
the front, thereby giving the effect of
one long and one short side. or else
with the long side to the back.
Beaver. nutria. seaiine and Hud-
son seal are. of course. the principal
furs used"

Heavy Silks Are
Said to Be In
Good Demand

The outstanding feature of an
otherwise inactive period in the silk
market was the demand for heavy
SILK. Buyers were asking for fall de-
Everies on the fabric, which is to be
Printed and used for lining in dol
man coats and for shifting.
Manufacturers still complain of
tEeir inability to fill orders. In many
Instances they are concentrating solely
on fall business. on the deliveries of
which they are far behind. They ex-
rlain that, inasmuch as spring sales
are more or less automatic, the de-
mand being an assured one, they have
to give their entire attention to salts
flying the wants OF the retail trade for
fall. The weekly decrease. of ten
hours working time in the mills has
SO greatly decreased yardage that only
imm ediate and pressing requests for
ia brics can he attended to. A few
manufacturers however. are taking
orders for spring delivery of shirting
and skirting
The demand for all classes of silk
goods has not dropped. one jobber re-
porting yesterday that the buyers dur
ing last month were almost double in
rumber those of any previous July
