Ancient Sport Could Be Made Toier-
able If Course Was Cut Six Holes
Numerous Evils Of Game
Would Be Eliminated

There is only one golfer in England
whose ideas should appeal strongly
to the Western Golf association, says
an Eastern writer. He is A. P. Her
bert, and he writes as follows In the
Sphere. British publication:
Il think that by strong measures
1t may still be possible to make golf
tOlerable game. The chief thing ID
that it is frightfully complicated and
frightfully laboriOus. The fun6amen-
tai cause of this is the unfortunate
fixing of 18 holes. / wonder who did
that? 1t is six holes too long.
ut is because of these six holes
that the bond-slaves have to bolt their
breakfasts and miss their baths and
come back late for lunch; that every
one rushes around the course at q
hand gallop; that every one is always
either pressing some one In front or
letting somebody go through behind !;
that every one is touchy In the porn
ing: that every one totters exhausted
into the clubhouse and takes to secret
drinking before lunch. If the normal
course was II holes these evils might
disappear"

New York.-Shoe prices may trend

electrical discharges and other unusual
factors, which will be discussed by the
leather chemistry section OF the Amer

The notable progress made In Amer

number of European leather chemists
which has ever come at one time to
the United States.
Some of these experts will also at

which. after converting with Its cana

TO hold a joint session with the Amer

The leather chemistry section OF the
American Chemical society Will meet
at Columbus university. At its session
will be discussed revolutionary meth

be FASTENED without the sacrifice Of

releasing Of large sums Of money from
its investment in raw material thus
would have the tendency to stabilize

Corywrwht. 1920 BY

Like heat, sound is conveyed by
means Of vibrati tions Of tho air; Nibra-
tions which, striking upon the sensi-
tive car drums, cause them 10 carry
distinct message to the brain cells
with which we +hear." There is still
much to he discovered about the
workings Of the inner car. hut there
is no mystery whatever about the
effect Of the sound waves upon the ear
drum. 80 the problem in the case Of
making photograph records was first
how to have the sounds recorded upon
some fairly hard surface and. sec
oudly. how To reproduce from these
fixed impressions sounds which would
be exactly like the original ones.
Thomas A. Edison overcame the
first obstacle by cutting a spiral groove
with the lines placed closely together
around brass drum which turned on
a horizontal screw axis SO that. as
tho drum revolved. II moved endwise
with n regular rate of speed. This
drum was then covered with tin foil
pressed into the bottom of the endless
groove in order 10 receive the impress
sions Of the sound wave and pre-
serve them. Beside the drum was
placed a hollow cylinder, one end of
which was covered with tightly
stretched membrane. In the centre
OF this membrane was a sharp needle.
with chisel point, that followed the
groove on the revolving drum and was
kept pressed against the tin foil at
the bottom. The other end of the
cylinder was funnel shaped. in order
10 receive and magnify the sounds
which set the membrane vibrating.
and, in turn. made series of impress
sions upon the tin foil. The second
obstacle. the reproductions Of the
sounds. was overcome by the simple
process of reversing the drum. thus
making the membrane in motion once
more by means Of the indentations on
the tin foil.
Since the first phonograph was
made, a large number Of improve
ments have been effected. both in the
manner Of recording sounds and in
the method of reproducing them--but
the basic principles remain the same
as when Edison first worked them ont.
