President lay impotent and perhaps un-
conscious. no Cabinet officer, in the
mind of Mr.. Wilson, could cali meet

The nation, we say, must be as.
founded that nowhere in the Presi-
dents letters to Mr.. Lansing is there
the slightest reference to the interest,
welfare and safety of the public. No
where in these documents is there the
vaguest intimation that the interests
and rights and safety of the public are
of the least consideration. Never mind
the country! Never mind the necessi-
ties, emergencies and crises of the ma
ton! In the estimation of Mr.. Wilson
they are nothing, they could be moth

and solemn privileges of the man lying
sick and silent in the White House.

CHANGES IN RULES OF GOLF DISCUSSED
 AT COMMITTEE MEET
By Associated Press

London, June Exchanges in rules of golf were recommen led at a meet ing of the special committee of the Anglo American golfers here yester- day according to the Times. Stand ardization of the balls used also was discussed.
 It was decided to recommend to the Royal and Ancient Club of St. An drews and the United States Golf As- sociation that, with reference to stymies. no alteration 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. Recommendations were made to unify 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 permis- sion should be given clubs to govern the penalty by local rules. it was de- cided
 Decision was reached to recommend that "the weight of the ball shall not be greater than 1.62 ounces and that the size ball shall not be less than 1.62 inches in diameter"
 The Royal and Ancient Club ana the United States Golf Association will be invited to take whatever steps they think necessary to limit the power of 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 -iot be increased, as a consequence of information ob- tained by more accurate weighing of the ball than has hitherto been pos sible. The new ball recommended is equivalent to the thirty-pennyweight ball at present on the market.

It Is ceasing to be mainly a shady retreat for readers of classics and light fiction, according to Miss Lida Mae Chapman, vice director The man of affairs is availing him. self of the store of information to be found at the library. Numerous calls are being made for articles on tech nical and trade subjects and for ideas for new advertising schemes.
 leading firm of Decatur called over long distance yesterday for the names and prices of a number of the leading magazines and periodicals. The information was promptly SUD- Plied.
 Not the feast of the services of the library is the translation of foreign business letters The letter that gave the most trouble was one written by a Greek. in French. to a manufactur- ing concern in this city and was turned over to the library for trans lation. The Creeks French was bad and my English translation of it was worse." said a member of the library staff.
 Another man of business exhausted the resources of the library on, the subject of cotton seed and oil. An. other wanted to know whether Ahs Statue of Liberty was set up as a whole or by pieces The information was supplied. but the employees of the library were curious to know for what purpose he wanted the information, but he shed no light on the question. It was erected in sections.
 One citizen requested information as to the names of the two steam boats and the date they made the famous race up the Mississippi river. The question was looked up in ref erence book and it was found that the race was made by the Natchez and the Robert E. Lee in 1870. The busi- ness l:ian used the design of the rac- ing boats in an illustrated advertise ment. One mar was furnished with which is now the trade mark of a. well-known Birmingham firm.

 Next to the demand for information of business nature there is pop ular fad just now for books on spirit uaIism, according to library officials. All books that border on the mystic or supernatural are in continual cir culation. Sir Oliver Lodges books are called for many times a day.

Be ready when it comes along
To give it hoom to play.
There is always another stroke
To be made in the mighty cause
Of the happiness Of the world
And the growth of its laws.
We are never on earth quite done
With striving to set things right;

That we build to the light.

Her heart is purest gold;

That autumn seemed SO old.
