Andra Kirkaldy, the famous profes
sional of st. Andrews, has written his
memoirs in book called Fifty Years Of
Golf, which is published by buttons
He begins with a chapter on "Celebrities
Have Met" and writes admiringly of
the golf of Arthur Balfour. "He was
always in deadly earnest about the
game" says Kirkaldy, taking care with
each shot to make the best of it. He
did not talk much and anything he
might say had always some reference
to the game. If he made bad shot, he
would mutter 'Botheration' but never
anything stronger"
Mr.. Kirkaldy does not need to apollo
gize to American readers for Mr.. Bal
tours lack of golfng eloquence. 1t has
often been reported, and never denied,
that when Woodrow Wilson missed a
putt he was in the habit of remarking,
"Tut! Tut"
Haig is chosen by Kirkaldy as the
man who got more fun out of golf than
any other player he ever saw. Mrs.
Asquith seems to have had no great
skill at the game, but Kirkaldy liked
her because she was Railways very free,
jolly and friendly with me, not stiff OF
straitened in the very least" The
old professional records with a certain
amount of awe that Mrs. Asquith was
in the habit of putting cigarette DUR
ing round, although Gin those days
cigarette smoking was not common
among lady golfers.
Andrew Lang was another regular at
St. Andrews, and the character of his
golf may be surmised from the fact
that Kirkaldy suggests that the famous
writer seemed "to play golf just to
take him into the fresh air and for the
sake of healthful exercise"
Unlike most British golfers, Kirkaldy
makes no attempt to minimize the vic
tory of Walter j. Travis in the British
amateur championship. Nowadays"
he writes, ait makes me tired to hear
golfers everlastingly talking about the
long drives they have or somebody else
has made. Long driving is a thing
every golfer strives for. The pity is
that SO many strive too much for it,
and wreck their game by attempting
what to them is not on the cards. Mr..
Travis played golf, if ever any man did,
with his brains. He backed his brains
to make up for short driving"
"Think of it," continues the old
pro in describing the final match in
which Travis took the championship.
"Mr. Blackwell was very likely the
longest driver in the world at that
time. / don't know whether there are
any longer golfers now, but that does
not matter. He outdrove Mr.. Travis, l
should say, from every tee, sometimes
by as much as seventy or eighty yards,
and always by as much as thirty or
forty yards. This means that the
American had the terrible uphill battle
to fight of playing the odd for his Sec
ond shot all way round. Would you
like to do that after you had come
three thousand miles and then got
into the final of the championship, with
the eyes Of all your fellow countrymen
following your game and eagerly want
ing you to win? Yet Mr.. Travis beat
Mr.. Blackwell and 8, after beating
Mr.. Hilton. the ex-champion, by and
4, showing that his win was no affair
of luck"
Under the heading of Saddle Wit
and Humor'' Kirkaldy records a series
of anecdotes which are generally about
as funny as those gathered together

charge Of, say, $3.50. But as long as
surgeons do vast amount Of work for

seems to us unfair to limit their

But surgeon is dealing in human

be set. To set maximum on real

feet, that is-as an occasional book

BOOZE LID LIFTED BY
UNITED STATES RULING
Attorney General Palmer in Last
Ruling Raps Ban on Liquor
for Sick.

Washington, March 1O.-The gov
eminent is without authority to pro-
hibit the manufacture and sales of
liquor, wines or beer for nonbeverage
purposes, according to a ruling made
by the attorney general and published
by the internal revenue bureau.
The opinion, one of the most COM
prehensive dealing with the question
OF prohibition, expressly states that
there must be no limitation to the use
of liquors, except that prescribed by
congress in limiting the sale of spir-
ituous liquors to one pint for ten
days,
( The question of limitation thus, the
opinion said, is left to the good faith
Of the physician.
Subject to this limitation" the
opinion continued, obviously there
has been committed not to the judg-
ment of the commissioner of internal
revenue and the secretary of the
treasury, but for the professional
judgment of the physician, the qIes-
ton of the quantity of liquor that
may be used to advantage as q medi-
cine In each case.
"As to this question, think the in
tention was to leave the physician un-
fettered by government control, but
subject to be dealt with criminally
and By revocation of his permit IL
he acts in bad faith"
With all limitations lifted on per-
mits for whisky, wine and beer for
medical purposes, prohibition enforce
ment will be made more difficult than
in the past, Prohibition Commissioner
Kramer stated
AS result it will be necessary to
draft and promulgate an entirely new
set of regulations he added.
Particularly will the authorization
of beer for medicinal purposes be pro-
ductive of trouble, Commissioner
Kramer continued. The prohibition
bureau has never contemplated that
beer ever again would be legalizcd, he
said, and has worked out no scheme
by which it's brewing or distribution
can be restricted within legal limits.
