GREETS HIS DEAD BUDDY
Veteran Meets Comrade on Street He
Had Thought Killed on

Norwalk. O.-Benjamin Robinson. a
former lieutenant in old Company IL,
Cleveland, thought for a time that a
comrade whom he believed dead had

son stared hard at man in military
uniform. Brown, is that you?" he
gasped. "Why, the last time l saw

Dudley Brown, the man who came
back to life, was top sergeant of Rob
inson's company. He was shot through
the brain during the Argonne drive on
October 81, 1918, and given up as dead.
Later the surgeons saved his life.
Brown was here with the war-trophy
train. Robinson also received q severe
wound while fighting in the Argonne.

large, although it does exaggerate
somewhat the apparent increase in
imports and correspondingly it I'M
derstates the export trade balance.
The big gains in imports for Septem-
Der, which have aroused so much pub
lie comment, have been in the main
from non-European countries, and are
accordingly not affected by the cur
rency situation. The total gain for
the month is S12SOOO,0OO. One-third
of this was reported in the imports
from Asia, chiefly Japan and India.
There were also large gains from
South America, chiefly from Ar
gentina and Brazil, and from
North America, chiefly Cuba. The
reported gain of $23,0O0,OO0 from
Europe played a comparatively minor
part in the total increase, and ever If
allowance is made for generalization
the figure would be reduced only three
or four millions"

Nsarrangement of Exchange
Makes Foreign Commerce
Balances lnexact Sum.
RATES FAR FROM GOLD PAR
Situation Affects Only Europe, and
Is Small Factor in Nations For
eign Business-Big Gains
From South America.

Washington.-The apparent increase
in American imports from European
countries in recent months is more
apparent than real, according to DR..
Philip B. Kennedy, director of the bu-
reau of foreign and domestic COM
merce. Because most of the imports
received from European countries,
where the American dollar commands
a large premium, are valued by the
custom house authorities at the par
of exchange rather than at the 60
ing rate in the exchange market, i'm
ports from those countries are valued
at considerably more than their actual
worth In the official statements is
sued by the department Of commerce.
Doctor Kennedy explains this situa-
tion as follows:
Situation Explained.
''The situation results from the
close association of collecting duties
and collecting statistics. Dutiable
value for assessing ad valorem duties
is the foreign value converted into
American dollars. The conversion is
made normally at par according to q
statement based on the gold content
of various coins prepared quarterly
by the director of the mint and pro-
claimed by the secretary of the treas
ury. When an invoice is made out in
local currency circulating in the ex-
porting country below par as COM
pared with the standard gold curren-
.cy of that country, the consul certi-
fies the percentage Of depreciation.
and when the shipment is entered
here the foreign value is correspond
ingly reduced. This method worked
well prior to the world war, and still
works well in the case of Italy. In

STANDARD BAlLIDEA
STIRS GOLF PLAYERS
Rule Would Meet Hard Opposi-
in U. S. and Canada.
No Definite Action Taken at Meeting
Of Royal and Ancient Club of ST.
Andrews--Matter Seems to Be
in Allegiance at Present.

Although the Royal and Ancient club
of st. Andrews at its last meeting
took no definite action on the stand
ardiZation of golf balls, the matter
was discussed. Prior to the meeting
it was reported on seemingly good au-
thorlty that it was the intention of
the rules of golf committee to intro
duce a rule standardizing the f1oater,
writes Joe Davis in Chicago Tribune.
In order to give the golf trade q
chance to unload its stock of heavier
balls, it was proposed to make the
change take effect at the close of the
present season.
For the time being the matter seems
to be in allegiance, and, while the mat
ter Of standardization never has been
officially discussed by the United
States Golf association, the national
body would have to take official action
if the British authorities decided to
adopt standard ball.
Although the U. S. G. A. and the
Royal and Ancient club differ in their
Interpretation of the amateur rule, the
only difference in the playing rules is
that the y. S. G. A. sanctions the use
Of the mallet-headed putter, which Is
barred in Great Britain.
Commenting on the proposed legis-
lation the Canadian Golfer says: -
ut is sincerely hoped that the ruR,
Of golf committee will not be so III
advised as to adopt such radical de-
parture without first consulting the
powers that be in this and other golf.
ing countries. In Canada the rules
and regulations of the game as laid
down by st. Andrews are faithfully
| followed, but 1t is a grave question If
any such change as that mooted in
connection with the standardization of
the ball would be acceptable here. The
rules Of golf committee must hasten
slowly very slowly, before making
any such rash decision. 1t certainly
would be retrograde legislation.
'The chief objections made to the
rubber-cOred ball are that it gives q
good response to a half-hit shot; that
1t makes recovery from hazards too
easy, so that the bad shot does not
receive the punishment it deserves,
and that its resiliency makes it much
harder to control on hard green and
so introduces an element of luck in
approaching and putting.
'All these objections apply most
strongly to the floater and much less
strongly to the small, heavy ball, which
it is proposed to abandon. One thing
is sure: If st. Andrews does attempt
| to standardize the 'floater,' its ruling
will not be observed in Canada or the
States. It will commit golfing suicide
as far as it's influence here is con-
cerned."
