Does Lubbock Wsnt Free Mail De.
livery7

This IL the question asked by m,
Board Of Directors Of the Chamber
Of Commerce and the City Commits
sion. We know the answer The great
drawback IN getting free mail deliv
cry is the lack Of street signs and
house numbers Therefore the Cham.
Der Of Commerce Is working out a
plan whereby this deficiency can be-
corrected
] by investigation, 10 has been found
that for the city TO purchase adequate
signs, and place two on every -four
corner in the city would cost several
thousand dollars Most people know
that the city is just now getting on
is feet in financial way, after sew
eral years Of near-bankruptcy. There
fore il is impossible for the city to
purchase the needed signs
Because OF this, the Board Of Di
rectors Of the Chamber of Commerce
through q committee appointed for
this purpose, have decided to ask the
people to do this. The general plan
is for the residents and property
owners of each block to get together
and pay for the number Of signs they
need on their own block. This viii
not make the cost heavy for any one
person, for the price for one sign
will not be great Prices are being
obtained at this time. and will be
published as soon as possible.
The plan is TO purchase metal
post, and good enameled signs. These
will be a credit to the city, and TO
the property owners. In addition to
this, II will be necessary for each
house owner 10 purchase number
for his own house. The total cost will
be small for the individual, but if
the city were compelled 10 buy sew
eral hundred of these posts and
signs, the total cost would be heavy.
If the citizens Of Lubbock want
mail delivery, If they want to have
the city numbered for the convent
ence Of themselves and all strangers.
let someone in each block take up the
question Of the purchase of these
signs with his neighbors, and begin
to plan as to how many will be need
ed. Just as soon as prices are avail
able, they will be announced.
Let's get busy Immediately, so that
within short time Lubbock will be |

Willard Wants Only
 To Be Vindicated

Kansas City, Dec. 17.-Jess Will lard, former heavyweight champion, expects to train intensively three months in preparation for his bout to regain the title from Jack Demp- Gey in New York, March IT, accord ing to a statement made here by Ray Archer, his manager.
 Archer came to Kansas City to confer with Hugh Walker, a heavy weight, concerning the employment of Walker as one of Willarl's spar :ing partners Walker will meet Captain Bob Roper, heavyweight, in a bout here December 30. According to Archer, Willard already has begun to train, although his work is some what handicapped because his home is quarantined on account of illness in his family.
 Discussing the coming bout with Dempsey, Archer said:
 Willard is not thinking about money He wants to prove to the public that he was not himself at Toledo" "

Golf Links At Gatun
 Cost Eight Millions
By David M. Church.

Gatun. Canal Zone. Dec. 1e - The most expensive golf course in the world is boasted by Gatun.
 An eight million dollar golf course is a wild dream of sportdorn yet that is just what the employees at the Gatun Locks enjoy. This will proba- bly, bring visions of great extravaganza into the minds of many, for it smacks of wasteful expenditures. These Gatun's eight million dollar golf course is a necessity to world com merce and a benefit to some 45 Amer ican men stationed in this Jungle spot.
 The eight million dollar golf course is the great Gatun dam. The dam which made the Panama Canal sue cessfu1, and 1t is only a golf course because it offers a most convenient space for links and because the em- ployes at Gatun Locks had sufficient initiative and energy to lay out one of the sportiest courses in the world over the top of these acres and acres of builded dam
 Jack" Walsh. who calls Jersey City his home but who has lived on the Canal Zone since the first Ameri- can steam shovel pushed it's nose into the tropical soil of Panama, is largely responsible for the Ga,tun golf course. Jack" Is foreman in charge of con- struction at Ga,tun. He is responsible for keeping the Ga;tun dam and the Gatun spillway in the best of condi- ton. In his spare time "Jack' works on the Gatun golf course and his as- sociates spend many Of their spare hours with him. rolling fairway and clipping greens.
 President-EIect Tries It.
 President-elect Harding, Senator Fe1inghuysen of New Jersey and Sen ator Hale of Maine recently played over the Gatun course and pro- nounced 1t the sportiest course they had ever played. The first hole is 176 yards and to make it the player must drive down a fifty foot wide hazard on one side and a fifty foot wall as the hazard on the other side The second hole, some two hundred yards is a drop from the top of the Ga:tun Locks to the bottom of GattIn dam. The third hole is played up the side of the dam. The fourth hole is laid along three hundred yards of the necessary for the player to drive down g. fairway pitched at an angle of 30 degrees toward Gatun Lake. It was on this hole that Senator F>relinghuy- sen lost eight balls in Gatun Lake the first time he played the course.
 After the first four holes the course approaches any difficult course in the United States.
 New players go over the nine holes at Gatun with weeping and gnashine of teeth. Yet the lock tenders, the electricians and the blacksmiths and mechanics of Gatun Locks, who play the course daily, play along oblivious erwise, and turn in cards showing 40 and 45 for nine holes over the worlds most expensive and most hazardous golf course.

 Tokio, Dec. 17-Plans for thirty miles of subway lines to be built in the cap ital city of Japan are now under con sideration here. Ever since the plan for the underground lines as a means of relieving the badly congested traf- fic of Tokfo was suggested in 1918 there has been criticism because of the fact that Tokio is built on ground that was once part of the sea- or made ground" The new engineering com pany, agents for the Tokio Cnder- ground Railways Co.,, Ltd, claims to have made tests and announces that there is no doubt of the ability of the land to stand the construction of the subway.
 The company received its charter in 1918 from the government It has re- gently voted to increase it's capital to YSo,000,0o0 (S40,o0O. O.0O0).
 If the plans as submitted are car died out Tokio will have the first un- dergrOund railway line ever built in the Orient. While the company s plans are still in the formative stage, 1t has gone as far as to establish headquarters in the Kaijo building, and arrange for calling into consulta- ton prominent engineering men from France and America.

VIENNA ONCE
 MORE JOYOUS
fBv International News service.)

(Ry International News Service.)
 Vienna. Dec. 17.-Vienna is enjoy ing a resumption of it's gay night life, in striking contrast to last winter, but there is, nevertheless, abJect pow erty and great misery.
 The streets at night are filled with motor cars, splendid carriages ana people elegantly dressed.
 Brilliant theatrical and musical productions marked the opening of the season, and the public appeared to be willing to pay any number or crowns to enjoy the opera and to have an opportunity of seeing the Italian master, Puccini, who attended one performance.
 There is always a large attendance at the smoking theatres" and cab aretS.
 This new wave of pleasure which is sweeping over the city has eco- homie significance. Many thousands of people are obtaining a living by entertaining foreigners who hape plenty of money, and this is the chief reason why everything is done to at tract them.
 But underneath it all there is trag- edy Most of the artists in the the atres and concert halls are underpaid, and for the bulk of those forming the middle classes there is no possible participation in the gayetfes which they see on every side.
 Recently Max rA argu1les, a famous meteorologist, died or hunger and want because he was too proud to appeal to the International Relief Committee for help, and there are many others who are in a similar plight.

DOESN'T LIKE 25
 YEAR AGREEMENT

Chicago, Dec. 1.-The American Association Is willing to enter into the new national baseball agre eem ent with Judge Kenesaw Landis as su- preme commissioner, but does not feel as though it should go in for the provided 25-year period, according to President Tom Hickey on his re- turn here from New York today.
 Judge Landis' term is for seven years" he said 'sWe would have no say about the new commissioner at the termination of Judge Landis' term"
 Hickey declared that he believes the movement of the Glass A leagues to withdraw from the present National Association and American Association form a separate ont to affiliate with other major and smaller minors would result in the ironing out of a lot of wrinkles.
