On the point of distance from the
hole the rule is not specific and needs
clearing up. as the two balls might
be twenty feet from the hole and yet
one ball constitute an obstacle, so
that the other player will have to play
| his stroke at an angle that will
cause his shot to end several feet
wide of the hole. In this case it
would be absurd for the player to
concede the opponent a putt twenty
feet in length.
The other outstanding change in the
rules concerns the lost ball, unplay-
able ball and ball out Of bounds. In
each case. under the new rules. the
player suffers loss of stroke and dis
lance and must go back to where he
affect the lost ball, but adds stroke
to the penalty attached to the former
out of bounds rule, which was only
loss of distance. In other words. I'M
der the old rule when ball is driven
out of bounds from the tee he played
his second stroke when driving an
other ball. Now, states the rule. he
must play three from the tee. losing a
full stroke, plus the distance.

While the new public course in Po-
tomac Park is proving very interest
ing to scores of local golfers. several
changes might be made at lit
tie expense that would improve the
course tremendously. In the first
place. during the past month the
grass has been allowed to grow 100
long, with the inevita BILE result that
a ball driven off the fairway is very
apt to be lost. Even the grass on
the fairways is very long, sometimes
long enough to cover the ball The
cups on the putting greens are al
lowed to stay in one spot too long.
and the grass about the cups is
trampled down until a bare space is
left before the cups are moved.
The course is an excellent one, and
with slightly better upkeep will
prove source of much pleasure to
hundreds of persons in the District of
Columbia.
There is one Washington golfer who
has shown that steady practice and
the Will to learn the game counts
more than reams of lessons and years
of experience. This man is Tom Moore
of the Washington Golf and Country
Club, a golfer who must be reck-
oned with in every amateur event
held about the District hereafter
Indeed, he has already made his
mark, having defeated George 5.

Profteering RumOrs Denied

Idle gossip certainly does travel
fast and those who indulge in it as a
sweet morsel do not always realize the
harm they do to innocent people.
Some time ago l. G. Smashey, of
Salem, a shoe dealer, was said to have
been investigated by the Federal Fair
Price Commission for charging eXor-
bitant profits on shoes. Mr.. Smashey
realized that these stories, which he
declared are wholly false and without
warrant, were affecting his trade. He
now offers $4,000 reward for the ar
rest and conviction of the person or
persons who circulated these false re-
ports.
The same kind of stories have cir
culated in Penns Grove within the past
week, duplicating some of u best
known and most reliable merchants,
men whose reputation and character
it would take more than idle gossip to
shake. The Record has taken the
trouble to interview some of the mer-
chants, who it is claimed have been in
vestigated by the Federal Fair Price
Commission, and they emphatically
deny that anything of the sort has
taken place.
Many of the necessities of life are
high in price, too high, perhaps, but
that does not mean our local merchants
are to blame.
People who believe such stories
should bear in mind that any action on
the part of the Federal authorities
would have been done in proper legal
form and not banded about on the
street as idle gossip. Such action
would have been a proper matter for
publication and the Record would GER
tainly have given the public all the
facts.

of the aviators who lost his life by
drowning in the river near the Della
Ordnance Depot on November oath,

prepared for shipment to his home at
Foxcroft, Maine, for interment.
Naval officials came to Penns Grove
on Tuesday in a launch from League
Island and returned with it to Phila-
delphia for shipment to his parents in
Maine.
On November oath, 1919 two avia-
tors flying down the river encountered
an air pocket when near the Delaware

Search was made for the bodies in
the vicinity of the catastrophe for a
week or but they were not
found.
A few weeks age the body of Lieu
tenant Stocker was found at the mouth
of Cohansey Creek a short distance
from Bridgeton.
Aircraft Inspector Thompson was 30
years old and unmarried. He was un-

Marcus Hooks Big Growth

The census shows that the former
town a few miles above Penns Grove
on the Pennsylvania side of the river
has had a wonderful growth since 1910
when the population was 1873, about
545 less than Penns Grove. The 1920
census shows 1924 persons remain in
that war boom town, an increase of
238.5 pei cent.
Between the two census takings
there have been added as population
boosters for mammoth plants, the Wis
cose, General Chemical, Benzol and
Congoleum.
