CONSIDER new GOLF RULES
Americans and British to StandardiLe
Game, 1t Is Believed.

London, June 19.-Alteration of GER
tain rules OF golf was considered at a
meeting of a special committee of
Anglo-American golfers here Yester-
day. according to the Times. Standard
ization of the balls used also was dis
cussed.
1t was decided to recommend to the
Royal and Ancient club of St. Andrews
and the United States Golf association
that, with reference to stymies. no al
teration be made in the present rule.
but that the Royal and Ancient club
be instructed to write the United
States Golf association that the ruling
Of that body regarding stymies has
been found suitable.
Recommendation we're made to
unity penalties for lost balls. balls out
of bounds and unplayable balls. The
penalty for the first and last should be
''stroke and distance" but in the case
of a ball out of bounds, permission
should be given clubs to govern the
penalty by local rules. IT was decided.
Decision was reached to recommend
that the weight of the ball shall not
be greater than 1862 ounces and that
the size shall not be less than 1.62
inches in diameter.
THE Royal and Ancient club and
the United States Golf association will
be invited to take whatever steps they
think necessary to limit the power of a
ball with regard to distance but the
committee stipulated that should any
ball of greater power be introduced,
the maximum weight may be de-
creased but should not be increased
as a consequence of information OBJ
tanned by more accurate weighing OF
the ball than has hitherto been pos
sible. The new ball recommended is
equivalent to the 80 pennyweight ball
at present on the market.

KANsAN LOST HIS DOG LOCK.
Sven jacobson of Brewster Also Lost
His Hotel.

Brooklyn. N. Y, June 19.-Swen
Jacobson of Brewster, Kan, has rec
commended to the bureau of missing
persons that for the convenience of
visitors the number of hotels in New
York should be cut down to one. Had
this been done before Sven arrived the
other Sunday his baggage wouldn't be
lost
Accustomed to Brewster, where visi-
tors are always steered to the" hotel,
Sven breezed into the Pennsylvania
station and followed the crowd into
the west side subway. After giving the
train sufficient time to carry him to
almost any place in New York, Sven
unloaded himself his two suitcases
and his valise at what he believed was
the Nevins street station.
Emerging into the open air he came
to what he believed was the" New
York hotel Bat Sven failed to in
quire the name of his hotel. He just
registered, paid $3.50. left his luggage
and went out for a bite to eat.
On Fulton street he stopped at the
restaurant. The food seemed to slip
a few of his SO years from his shout
stroll. Then came realization that
New York isn't an easy place to live
in. Sven, in other words. was lost.
He finally gave up the search for his
hotel and registered at another. Then
he turned over the job of finding his
first hotel and his missing luggage to
the bureau of missing persons.
Sven was on his way to Providence
r. l., where he intends to manufacture
a dog lock- of his own invention
This lock is in the shape of a dog
| with the tail curling in loop over the
dogs back. When fed a key, the tail
Wags and the lock is opened.

Passenger traffic is exceedingly
heavy at present, according to ]. w.
ConneN, general passenger agent for
the Santa Fe. Altho travel in June is
unusually heavy because of the begin
ming of werm weather and the exodus
of vacationers, June of this year has
been heavier so far than the same
period for several years.
The Democratic national convention
in San Francisco. the Republican con-
vention in Chicago, and the Shriners'

Planted Bones To
Keep Then, Alive
New Departure in Medical Science An
nounoed by Illinois Surgeon.

Springfield. ILL.,, June 19.-An oper-
alton on a boys skull marking a new
departure in medical science was per-
formed here recently by DR.. G. N.
Kreider, a local physician.
The boy. 5-year-old John w. Wilson.
was kicked by a horse and his skull
fractured. Two large pieces of bone
were driven into the lads brain and a
considerable portion of the brain sub
stance lost.
Doctor Kreider removed the two
pieces of bone and planted" them in
the flesh of the patient below the low
er rib on his left side. BY doing this
the bones were kept alive for replace
ment in their original position after
the wound in the boys head healed.
Fifty days after the skull had been
fractured the bones were removed and
replaced in the boys skull. The
wound has entirely healed and the lad
is hale and hearty. An injury, such as
he received, causes death in many
cases.

has not gained in population The
crowded condition of homes, apart

big growth in Topeka.
Yet, it will be remembered that
when the census was being taken
hundreds of persons reported they
had not been included in the count.
The Chamber of Commerce passed
resolutions and issued statements to
all Topekans not included in the
count to call Ralph O'Neil, local
census enumerator. It is feared, how
ever, that even this means of giving
Topeka full credit failed in its pur-
pose and Topeka's population report
will not be correct.
The 1920 assessors report lists the
names of about 44,500 persons as liv-
ing in Topeka.
Topeka in 1910 had a population of
43,6S4, according to the government
census returns on file in the state Ii

Such an achievement has not been estab-

The Buick Valve-in-head motor car
