The gallery today sec.ned the largest
OF the week, due partly to the fact that
. Il was all concentrated around this one
lone match for the championship, and
partly because they were from the New
York and scashorc district round about
the Hollywood course and Marion
Hollins was their favoritp.
1t was the first year they had ever
played final round for the women S
national championship over thirty six
holes in this country and the crowd
was here for an al day treat between
two of the leading American women

of the week for conditions, except
qualifying day, when it rained most of
the day. But the final day dawned
gray and cold. freezing winds wrap
ping icy tentacles around the forms OF
the two fair players, causing their
fingers to slip on the clubs, their clubs
head to wobble overhead, and the shots
to 60 astray over this terrifiCally
trapped course.

Common Colds I
{By one who doesn't know)

(By one who doesn't know)
While it has not been demOR-
strated to the satisfaction Of the
medical profession, and while it
has not been generally accepted
as a fact. yet very great num-
ber OF people believe that COM
mon colds are contagious. There
is a growing disposition on the
part of the people to consider
colds OF more Importance than
was formerly the case. This is
well, not so much because Of the
cold itself. but because Of the
many complications likely to fol-
low. -
Many, if not ali, diseases are
dependent upon the condition of
athe system for their ability to
live and develop in the body. The
germs which cause colds is not
very strongly constituted and
are more easily managed by the
body than is the case with most
disease germs. Perhaps this ac-
counts for the fact that it is
hard TO prove that the disease is
contagious. Then, too, there are
those who believe that several
very different germs give pract-
tally the same sickening eff set;
and it may be that the same germ,
attacking different areas of the
body manifests different eoAdi-
tions and are recognized as diff
ferent diseases. Be this as it
may, of one thing we are GER
tain colds run in ways. that is
to say they go pretty general
ly through the community. This
is thought TO be sufficient evid-
ence to classify colds as eontag-
ious. and the nature Of the attack
gives good reasons for putting
it alongside, measles, humps,
-whoopiug 1ugh, pneumonia, and
other likeOJmmunicable diseases
The way to avoid caid is to
avoid afflicted. This is true of
all diseases communicated direct
" from one person to another.
But what ought to be done is to
quarantine the sick. This might
60 a long way towards eEadicat-
ing the disease.
