playing in form which invites in

of their efforts TO lift the amateur
trophy most priced in the golfing
world. On Saturday FowNEs and

Royal Liverpool Club.
While this reassuring performance
was taking place the long driving

significant detail Of the performance
OF GUn.FoRD. player most noted for
his work with wooden clubs, Is that

of self-accusation had a tendency

pected.
Two days before that event.. by

script which to his own eyes had
become as stale and colorless as a

end. The casual and Unconditional

off by Chester Hardy the next day

across the contents of one Of these
decanters, that there, close at
hand. lay a key of release from
the desolating stagnation that pos
sessed him.
He reached for a glass, filled II

When Torrie returned to the
studio that night she stopped short

figure that he presented.

His answer was as care-free as
II was inarticulate. Slowly the look
OF anxiety ebbed out Of her eyes.
She could even afford to laugh a
little as she threw aside her hat

He slept heavily and late the
next morning. Torrie, in fact, was
up and dressed and had the studio
put to rights before he so much as
stirred. Nor did he stir, an hour
later, when knock sounded on the
door.
Torrie, answering that knock,
confronted Chester Hardy, asking

duct of scientific Experimentation.
However, even IL dreams like this

Just now the chief concern il to
maintain and increase the produc-
tivity Of the forms Of food that
nature supplies. Whenever a great
famine occurs in some part Of the
world causing the death Of hun
dreds of thousands of human beings
through actual starvation, we have
a terrible object lesson on this
subject.
It may be that II the means OF
transportation were swifter, more
abundant, and less hampered by all
kinds of obstacles, physical, po-
litical, and moral, the food produc-
ton of the world as a whole would
suffice to prevent actual famine in
many parts of 1t. But, as things
stand. this is not so, and the only
safety lies in the promotion of i'm
proved agricultural methods in
every thickly populated country,
and not only must methods of Guilt
walton of the soil be improved, and
the soil itself be refertilized and
enriched, but the agricultural popu-
lation must be maintained at a nu-
