NEW GOLF COURSE
OPENS THURSDAY
Grounds Set Apart in East
Potomac Park for Pub
lie Use.

The new nine-hole public golf
course in East Potomac Park will be
opened at pm. Thursday. Maj. Clar-
ence S. Ridley. engineer officer, in
grounds. announced today.
No special ceremonies are scheduled
in connection with the opening of
the golf course, Maj. Ridley said. The
course Will be open every day after
Thursday at s am and will be in
charge of Alfred Burton, as athletic
director.
A charge of 25 cents will be made
for each round of eighteen holes This
fee will include locker privileges and
shower baths. Tickets may be bought
at any time for future rounds and
which they appear on the first tee.
Ticket Starting System in View.
When the course becomes popular
it is expected to install ticket start
ing system. similar to those in use
on public golf courses in other cities.
At present. however. Maj. Ridley
does not anticipate a playing attend
ance large enough to warrant use of
such a system. Players will be ac-
ileges only for the one round for
which they have paid, but Maj. Rid
ley believes the number of golfers
will not be so large that players will
have to take their clubs away with
them each night. but may store them
in lockers in the fieldhouse in the
park. i4-r
The nine-hole course. which will be
opened Thursday, will be ultimately
extended to one of eighteen holes.
patterned after the best golf courses
in this country. The present course
was laid out by Robert White,
formerly professional at the Chevy
Chase Club, under the supervision
of Walter j. Travis, a prominent
course architect and former national
amateur champion. DR.. Walter S.
Harlan of the Columbia Country Club
also has had supervision over some
of the architectural features of the
course.
COunse Exceeds 5000 Yards.
At present the course is a little
more than 5000 yards in length and
is quite fiat, but the architectural
features incorporated in it by Travis
and White will make it very difficult
for even crack golfer, it is believed.
Work on the course was begun three
years ago, but owing to difficulty in
getting seed and help the course was
not finally pronounced complete until
few days ago. The putting greens
have been installed after the Travis
idea of undulating surface and the
course has been pronounced by ex-
perts to be one of the best nine hole
links in the country.

Celebration of the Fourth of july

certain legislation that he wants to
force upon the country merely because
he has the power of a friendly Con-
gress behind him, he cannot hope to
do any good, for there is still enough
minority strength to thwart his eff
forts there always is. Senator
Lodges strongest supporters are
against him ON his present stand, and
are not hesitating to say so. The
country still in the throes of war pres
sure of the heaviest kind needs i'm
mediate aid from many directions, and
Congress alone can bring relief by
careful and speedy work. The taxa
ton problem is the greatest load. If
Congress can see its way to assess a
tax ON gross sales Of merchandise, for
one thing, the great demand for rev.
enue will be indirect, yet positive.
There are other ways to relieve the
present burdens and only quick action
will make it possible to shunt them
aside. Waiting three months can
work tremendous injury.

sPEcuLATINe ON THE WORLD.

Specializing on the next course of
mans brain. With the great war now
two years over, it would seem that some
sort of dire ction would be known and
taken. But every country is trying
to get start. How many are now
on the road is a difficult matter to de-
eide. SO far as progress is concerned,
little has been accomplished. England
is still In the throes of war chaos,
France is still travelling in No Mans
Land, and America is still cropping in
the dark, while Russia has drifted far
out into the Sea of Despair.
1t needs no prophetic vision to fore
see what will happen if some radical
movement does not soon shape itself
so that form of progress up the hill
of endeavOr may be taken with at
least a suggestion of concerted action
Whether it is timidity, fear, selfishness
or what, no one leader can for long
hold to rigid course. America went
into the war for no selfish purpose, but
appears to be DESTROYS of disproving

aloofness.
The strangest thing the world has
ever known is the war. That one
nation could so completely overturn
tradition, custom, finance, trade and
commerce everywhere, no one would
have thought possible. Yet Germany
did that very thing. She involved the
world in war of hate, and distrust.
Such universal ruin was never before
wrought since the world began. This
is why recovery is so difficult. The
world has to keep cropping before 1t
can find way out Of the mazes of de-
structiOn that overturned everything
there is or was. Ten million lives sac
rificed and 100000, 100000 of treasure
lost. It is tale so unbelievable that
now when we look at the long lane of
waste and chaos, we cannot eompre-
bend 1t from any angle. No wonder
the start is slow. No wonder the
greatest thinkers still hesitate.

LODGE GOES roo FAR.

We give Senator lodge credit for
being a very able MIN. He is even a
great statesman. But he uses power
the wrong way at times. Just now
he is asserting that his party shall
not attempt any constructive national
legislation until President-elect Hard
ing is seated. In assuming this atti-
tude Mr.. Lodge is not adding anything
to his reputation as an astute politi-
clan, nor to his fame as statesman.
In the first place, unless he has some
thing in mind that the country does
not want, and should not have, why
is he afraid to spring it at the pres
ent session of Congress? The veto
is his only possible ground for fear,
and the opinion is ventured that Mr..
Wilson would not for one moment con-
denim any really valuable piece of
constructive work Lodges party might
introduce. Senator Lodge should rise
above position of this kind, for,
in fact, he is paying his enemy high
tribute by indicating that he is afraid
of him. He could not offer higher
praise. On the other hand, If he has

Farm women's Long Hours.

The Kansas lndustrialist remarks
that an extensive survey made by the
United States Department of Agri-
culture shows 90 per cent of the farm
women do the family washing and
more than half of them are still using
the dashboard. Sixty-one per cent of
the farm women carry water an aver
age of forty feet. Ninety-two per cent
do the family sewing and mendlng.
and large majority do the family
baking.
The farm woman's work day aver
ages eleven and one-half hours, the
survey shows. The department is CO.
operating with state colleges of agri-
culture In an effort to bring about bet
ter conditions for women ON the farm,
especially more home conveniences. AS
a result of this work thousand farm
kitchens were remodeled last year.

LEAGUE OF NATIONS.

In or out of the League of Nations
tent at least the political phrase that
the league is dead" means nothing.
Our secretary of state has found it
necessary to enter protest against
what lisa descriged as the British posi-
ton that mandates and treaties are
to be considered only by the states
that are members of the league. The
particular issue involved is the petrO-
leum resources of Armenia and Meso-
potamia. Under the so-called British
position they would be mOnopolized by
the league members. Secretary Colby
has served notice that this country is
not to be ignored in the establishment
of mandates and the rights and privi-
leges secured under mandates.
America was one of the powers in
the World War and cannot be denied
participation in the settlement of prob
lens arising out of the war and en-
braced in the future welfare of the
world. 1t Is not a question of being
debarred from the Mesopotamia oil
field per ipse, but of having any inter-
national matter settled without con-
sultation with the United States.
Forty nations are not to be ignored
by one, be it the smallest or the larg-
est. The one cannot be ignored by the
forty. That is where the league has
us all tied up with its deliberations
and conclusions Membership is a
matter of choice; connection ines
capable.

TAXATION.

Nothing that the people of this coun-
try are facing with stout hearts Is so
discOuraging as taxation. 1t Is coming
from every quarter in increasing meas
ufe. Not satisfied with paying the
government, we are forced to pay
unjust and unh0ly tribute to a great
army of prOfiteers. Take any COM
modify we are compelled to have In
our daily life, and the prices have
son or limit. The most important arti-
Gle for man or woman, aside from
food, is what they wear. Clothing and
shoes form the most useful and neces-
sary articles of daily use. Yet at the
very beginning of the high prices on
shoes, one of the biggest experts in
leather published whole page adver-
tisements warning the country against
the extortion ON shoes, and pointing
out the imposition prices at that time
were making upon the income of the
average man. Yet congress took not
the slightest note of this state of af-
fairs. Had action been begun then,
the present prices in shoes would not
prevail. 1t Is the same with clothing
The only way to force reductions In
clothing is simply not to buy except
when it is actually necessary. Prof.
teering is crime, yet some of the
leading dealers have advertised
sweeping reductions" They never
reduced thing. What they did was
to mark their goods up to sky-high
prices, then tell the public it would
be saving 25 per cent by buying now.
There was never greater imposition
than these misleading advertisements
