INDOOR GOLF GAME
INVENTED BY HOLLAND

All the thrills, pleasures and disap-
pointments experienced in a genuine
game of golf attend the indoor game
of golf. invented and just patented
by Frank Holland, manager of the
Murray theater.
knowing the infatuation which
grows upon the golf fan, Mr.. Holland
has devised game which permits
the enthusiast to play full nine hole
course in his living room. The course
is laid out on a board well padded,
and three by four feet in size. Small
discs are Tipped from hole to hole by
a larger disc. Mr.. Holland has provid-
ed the necessary hazards for the play
ers. He plans to make to game popu-
lar in the home, for the adults as well
as children.
Since the invention, many local
golf players have spent hours playing
the game on the original board, ac-
cording to Mr.. Holland. The unani-
nous verdict seems to indicate that
the game will be in big demand.

GALBRAITH WARNS
AGAINST HYPHEN YET
(By Associated Press)

New York, April 6.-fiostility
to the "hyphen and hyphenates,
was pronounced here today by f
w. Galbraith, Jr., national com
mander of the American Legion
who, in statement commemora-
tive of the fourth anniversary OF
the declaration by the United
States of war against Germany
pledged anew the soldier organl-
cations faith in America, its ira
ditions and its ideals"
-Four years ago. said the
statement, 1--WE declared war or
Germany. The hyphen, realizing
that it was an ally of our enemy,
promptly took cover. The hy-
phen dug in and hid its head and
so long as the roar of battle
sounded, it maintained an exceed
ingly low visibility.
Then there was an armistice,
which signifed that the danger
was over; and with the passing of
danger the hyphen crept back
slowly into view. Finally it be
came bold and asserted itself with
its old arrogance.
This anniversary is a fitting
time to serve notice on the ny
phen and hyphenates that there
may have been an armistice for
our late enemies, but there never
can be an armistice with the by
phen. An honest adversary we
can admire and forgive, We never
can make truce with those cit
liens who affirm allegiance to
two masters.
1T is fitting that OH this day.

THE FIRST STEP FIRST.

Director A. P. Davis gave the citizens Of Albu-
querque some encouragement when he declared that
the reclamation service is considering project
ering the middle Rio Grande valley from White
Rock canyon to Socorro. Let us all now sit down
and fold hands and walt for the government
to do it.
AS matter of cold fact, there is no use hamper
ing private progress by laying before people the
prospect of federal aid unless propose to get in
such shape that acceptance of that federal aid is
possible.
Mr.. Davis said privately If he did not make
clear publicly that should the Smith McNary bill
pass tomorrow, Albuquerque and the middle Rio
Grande valley would not be in position to receive
the slightest bit of help. He indicated very plainly
that the first step is the formation of drainage
district.
If we are going into the matter of drainage why
not take the first step first? There is going
ahead with elaborate plans to press our claims on
official Washington unless we can present with
them concrete program and show that we
moving in the right direction. The business
at hand is the formation of drainage district,
either under present state laws--which Mr..
Davis pronounced good--or under the provisions
of the Smith-M cNary bill
