Women Golfers
Of Two Types

Miss Alexa Stirling, "a, slightly
built aud girlish-presents a direct
contrast to Miss Cecil Leitch the
English woman's golf champion
whom she'll likely meet in the cham
.pionship matches this month on the
Scottish links.
The girl from Georgia, our Amer.
lean champion is one OF those types
OF outdoor girls who has developed
her golf game in spite OF her physi-
cal handicap OF being small.
Miss Leitch on the other hand is
strong, rugged and large.
She is called the Babe Ruth" Of
the English golf links.
Her drives carry from 20 to 80
wards farther than those OF. Miss
Strings. There's nothing feml-
nine about her game.
While the Atlanta girl can drive
the ball long distances, TOO, yet she
Is outclassed in this by the English
champion.
Miss Stirling Is the most skilled
american woman ever to invade
England.
She possesses the ideal competi-
tive temperament.
Miss Leitch comes from a family
of Britons noted for their great
strength. She won the national II.

The United States, which was al
mittedly efficient in the prevailing
methods of diplomatic intrigue, took
il upon itself a few months ago TO
call a conference for the reduction
of armament and the ending of the
insane system of competition. The
proposition was politely received, but
with a general belief that the I'M
trained craftsmanship of this coun-
try would be able to accomplish lit
tie against the adroit practitioners
of the Old World. And this view
was just as strong when the confer
ence opened for success depended
chiefly upon one man who. tho emf
nent in some fields, was almost
without experience in the compleM-
ties of international diplomacy.
Yet within thirty minutes Ameri-
can leadership had been established.
For without ceremony, subterfuge or
reservation the spokesman for this
country laid down in precise terms
an unprecedented proposal. not en-
bodying a complete solution Of the
problem, but making Immediately
possible a tremendous step toward
contamination OF the worlds desire.
His plan was not merely to curtail
the building of navies. as has often
been suggested. but tn stop It. LiIi-
itation and control had been dis
cussed for a generation; he demand
ed destruction of the newest and
most formidable warcraft Of the
three leading naval Powers, and alb
solute cessation of building for a
period of ten years
The proposition was so novel and
drastic that it staggered the assem-
bled statesmen; it was quite beyond
their experience for government
without an attempt at bargain OF
negotiation, to declare concrete
and comprehensive program. Yet
they were compelled to give their
adherence to its main principles
forthwith. The thing was so OBJ.
viously and eternally sound that
there was nothing left to do but tt
discuss the application in respect Il

Preventing DECAY OF WOOD
Forest Products Laboratory Gives
Some Valuable Hints to Both
Builders and Architec-s

The chance or infection of timber
~ Notwithstanding fungi, while it is
under the care of an architect in the
structure may be greatly reduced by
following the hints issued by the for
est prodscts laboratory, Madison, Wis.
THE material should he stored on
we'll drained ground where standing
water or overflow water may not reach
it All rotting or infected debris
should be collected and burned. Sound
lumber should not be piled along with
infected lumber. weeds should be
removed from about the piles TO allow
good air circulation
The foundation should be of a ma
terial free from decay and should be
high enough to allow good ventilation
the stack should be on foundations IS
to "a inches from the ground. Wool
treated with antiseptics, concrete
brick or other durable material should
be chosen for foundation. The
foundations should be built so that
the piles will slope approximately one
inch TO every foot of length.
In most regions lumber should not
be close piled in the open. but should
be thick. Lateral spacing is also very
desirable. Roofing OF cover boards
should be used on the piles and should
extend over fer several inches in front
and back.
Wherever infected or decayed mate
ria! is observed either in the ples or
foundations. or the sheds. il should he
removed Immediately 10 prevent con
tamination of sound material The
material in close contact with he in
fected material should be carefully in
spected TO detect decay, and. If in
fected. an antiseptic solution should
be applied. Water-soluble salts. such
as sodium fuorid. mercuric chloride.
zinc chloride or copper suphate are
recommended.

Mr.. Hughes and the Applauders.

Mr.. Hughes is too level headed to
be overwhelmed by such avalanches
of praise as are descending upon
him. He will stand in face of it,
as he has stood in the face of criti-
cism on more than one past occasion
unmoved and dispassionate:l looking
ahead for completion of the task to
which he has turned his face.
Among the voices being raised in
acclaim TO the Secretary of State
are many which have had no cour-
teous word for him heretofore. Yet
Mr.. Hughes was deserving of praise
many times for service rendered the
nation unselfishly and with clear
vision
Perhaps these tardy givers of tri-
butes will continue sponsoring the
Secretary of States statesmanship
Perhaps they will not. 1t is Difficult,
to judge the real quality of praise
whether it has in it full sincerity
