The eleventh grade certainly has
to hand it to the Junior Class that
they are masters on building Caes-
ar's Bridge. Not only have they
struggled through the translation,
but Roy Coble has actually built
one. We don't believe Caesars own
bridge was any better. Bravo! Roy
and three cheers for the Junior
Glass.

"Fore! Aw Get Outa the
Way!"- -South Side "Kids"
Haze Back Lot Course

Fore" Had the passerby's ears
deceived him7 He paused, listened
and looked. Surely that yell was not
carried from Elmwood Country Club.
and still there was no glimpse of a
golf course near. and what was more
no person was in sight.
Fore!" Again the passerby paused,
ducked his head into the refuge Of
fered by his cellUloid collar, and list
ened for the sharp crack Of brassie.
and the swish of the pail as 1t SAILED
kissing thru the air.
Hey. Maude! get out Of the way
there, didn't you here me say 'fore'?"
Altho the last remark did not sound
so professional, 1t was enough. All
investigation was started.
On walking around the corner Of a
building, spread before him was a
miniature golf course. This course Is
located near the Arson school. and
one evening this week. was the fav-
crite playground for young golf
shooters.
The kids had nine holes nicely
laid out, and croquet mallets and
Skinny clubs, Of different shapes and
| sizes, made mashies and mid-irons
that were handled as adroitly by the
youngsters as the higher priced irons
are by older experts. One kiddie hao
found that an old hickory cane made
an admirable putter and his skill in
handling 1t was remarkable.
A picket fence, an overturned
wheel-barrow and q steep bank and
terrace wall made hazards that the
best players could not always avoid,
and the spots OF high fox tail made
"roughs" that were difficult to play
out OF. Altho the greens were no
smoother or closer clipped than the
rest Of the course, 1t rarely took
more than four puts to sink the
sphere, once 1t was within yard OF
the hole, because some Of the holes
were as big as your hat. ~
| With 40's and SOS at 81 piece. a
solid rubber bali answered the needs
of these future Harry Vardons, ano
tho harder to find than the white
balls, the youngsters managed to lose
very few. possibly because their
drives rarely exceeded" ESQ yards.
The girls played as well as the
boys. and they all played the game
fair and square. The Scots favorite
sport is surely finding favor with the
youngsters.

The newest public garage has a
feature saving the automobile owner
q lot Of annoyance which he invar-
iably experiences in getting his car
into a space assigned to him at =
public garage. This operation often
requires a lot of annoyance which
results In disaster to one
machine or another. The new idea
Is to run it on transfer truck which
carries the car to the desired place
and the automobile is run OF the
track into it's place. This arrangement
also conserves floor space.

Should the Democratic party suppress
its party feeling and pride and exercise

decisive defeat certain. They have the
same feeling as to the candidacy Oh

But il might be different with Mr..

carry the League OF Nations question into
The next campaign, because ne cannot
fmake IL the controlling issue. Many Re-
pubicans agreeing with him on the league
will find so many other reasons for voting
against him that its importance as cam
paign issue in his behalf will be materially
lessened With Mr.. Hoover as n Demo-

tary Daniels today took issue with Will
lam Jennings Bryan, who has stated In
public addresses that Chairman Cummings
OF the Democratic National Committee,
either should dissociate himself from
Governor Edwards, OF New Jersey, who
was elected on wet platform, or re-
sign the National Committee chairman
ship Mr.. Cummings attended tho Gov
ernor's inaugural dinner, at which an Ed"
wards Presidential nomination boom was
launched. and in reply to Mr.. Bryan said
he was present only as neutral
Mr. Daniels said he had read Governor
Edwards platform with great deal of in
terest and had found "at least ninety per
cent OF it, excellent and agreeing thor
oughly with the best principles of Demo
cratic statesmen of the past and present.
Naturally, the Secretary said, he could
not agree with Mr.. Edwards on the pro
hibition question, but this point should
not be allowed to overshadow the great
good in the remainder of the Governor 5
platform.
II believe continued the Secretary
that Mr.. Cummings acted with perfect
propriety In accepting an invitation TO q
dinner given to democratic leader. II
hesitate to attend such a dinner. Mr.
Cummings undoubtedly would have ac.
cepted il the dinner had been to Mr.. Nc.
Adoo, Mr. Palmer Mr.. Hoover or any
other noted Democrat"
