JunqIe Wives Cost Five Pounds.

London.-Five pounds sterling, and
no more, is to be the price of wife,
according to q recent ratified conven-

African jungle, for it is expressly pro-

except by her husband, and that no
woman can be compelled to return to
a claimant against her will.

Income Tax Goes to Voters.

During the course of the confer
ence, the committee questioned bond
experts and state officials familiar
with the process of floating state
loans, in an effort to decide whether
claims that the bonds could not be
sold if issued serially were substanti-
ated by facts.
The Lennon income tax amendment
was passed by the senate with amend
ments which were concurred in by the
house and the amendment will be
submitted to the electors of the state
in November, 1922.
The amendment, as il will appear
on the ballot is:
Provision may be made by law
for tax of not to exceed 4 per cent
upon or with respect to net gains,
profits and incomes, from whatever
source derived, which tax may be
graduated and progressive and which
may provide for reasonable exemp-
tions. For the purpose of such tax,
property and persons and firms and
corporations may be classified"
Raise in Salaries Spurned.
By vote Of Ga to 20, the house de-
clined an increase in salaries paid
members of the legislature. 1t failed
by three of the required two-thirds
majority. The measure, which had
already been passed by the senate,
was the second salary proposition be-
fore the 1921 legislature.
A constitutional amendment reso-
luton raising the salary of the mem
bers from $500 to $1,000 was passed at
the regular session but when the gov
ernor received 1t for his signature, it
was discovered that the measure call
ed for submission of the question at
an April election in a year when no
such election is held.

One point of training which Alexa.
Stirling must watch in her stride
toward the British women's cham
pionship is not to become overgolfed
before the big week arrives.
Those who know the old game un-
derstand the Importance of reaching
a championship week with the keen
edge still left. 1t is better to start
such a test undergolfed. rather than
overgolfed. for staleness is a mighty
killer of results.
There is always a certain amount
of luck in being just right for the
big day. We have seen such golfers
as Jim Barnes and GIL Nichols who
one week would be easily able to
win a championship as they scored
between 6S and Il. But by the fol-
lowing week this ultra-keen touch
would be missing and the title test
would find them four or five strokes
out Of gear.
The two things needed TO win a
championship are championship
ability to play the game and top
mental and physical form at the
right time.
Other Examples.
In 1871 and 1914 Chick Evans
played entirely too much golf before
the championship test was due. We
asked Chick why this was.
1T is a hard condition to change"
he said. You are invited to play
over certain courses by hospitable
and friendly acquaintances. you are
also keen to play those courses. you
are also over to play golf. and IT is
hard to refuse"
In 1914 Jerry Travers undoubtedly
played himself stale before the
championship began. He went over
two months ahead of the test and
by the day his first round was due
he had gone so stale that Palmer
with an IS had no great trouble in
putting him out.
And back around in 1914 no SSs
were in the habit OF eliminating
Travers.
There is nothing in the world that
cuts into ones golf game quicker
or deeper than staleness. The game
requires such a fine coordination of
mind and muscle that when both are
weary or worn down there is no
working together. and the result is
disaster.
In 1904 Walter ]. Travis managed
to start the championship just COM
ing on to his game. He had been
in previous slump. had just worked
himself out and so had the keen
ness that results from an improv-
ing game. Confidence then begins
to grow with sprighuy leaps and
bounds. and confidence is a big actor
in ones golfing success. without
it you are as sounding brass and
cymbal. or vice versa, as the
case may be.
Miss Shirling's Position.
Miss Stirling arrived in Great
Britain on March II. This means
that she faces a training period of
two months and a half, a ten-week
stretch to cover before she stands
