Walter Hagen Returns Home
 After Victorious InUdsion

New York, July 1.-America's vic- torious triumvate of golfers came home today to rousing and sousing Yankee reception from England. where they beat the British at their own game in their own back yard. non-sinkable crowd of golf en- thusiasts with plume bedecked band did the rousing, while the ele ments did the sousing with heavy fog that nearly caused a collision of the incoming Aquitariia in the harbor and then turned into a drenching downpour.
 Walter Hagen, once caddy in Rochester, N. r., winner of every important professional golf tourna- ment in this country, brought back the tall silver cup won in the British open meet that made him worlds champion on the links. With him were Jim Barnes, runner up, Jock Hutchison, who was fourth and Joe Kirkwood. the Australian player. Hutchison had taken the cup to England so that all Britain had a two weeks peek at it's own trophy, the most coveted golf cup in exist ence.
 The reception committee of sever- al hundred stood four hours while lkthe Aquitania waited for the fog to lift and then slowly crept up the North river. The entire assemblage | boarded automobiles and swished down to the city hall where acting Mayor Hilbert pronounced Hagen the American of Americans. the l golfer of golfers, the champion of champions" Hagen is the first home

 A dinner in Hagen's honor was given tonight at the West Chester Biltmore club, of which he Is a mem l Der. The champion predicted that

He reiterated what he had told the reception committee. this victory has done much to strengthen international relations, and possi- biy golfing relations. But it doesn't mean" he added. that we're superior as goifing nation"
 Coming up the bay, Hagen told reporters that the reason the United States won the championship and fln- ished in the first four-George Dun can of England tied Barnes for sec ond--was superior putting. The Brit ish played first class from the tee, he said, but they forgot that the game Is won by dropping the ball in the cup on the green.

 New York, July 1.--What do you think the British boxing authorities have dug up? Well, they have doped 1t out that the trouble with their fighters is that not until they /get out of their own country and reel the pride of the race do they do their best. Then they fight like battling whiffinsaks and perform feats that no one thought them capable or per- forming In their home land.
 This theory Is based on the show ing of Danny Frush and Bermondsey Wells, not to mention Ted (kidl Lewis, none of whom would ever have left the ranl1J of the mediocre boy CTS, it Is asserted unless they had gone to foreign fields.
 As to Frush. the Aldegate feather weie,t, who has been in this coun- try fce some time, the English are excited over his showing here In the United States of America. His knock out of Charley Ryder In Brooklyn is acclaimed as the fourth victory over a "topnotcher" in month. His vic tory over Andy Chaney and Al Schu- bert are also pointed out as testi- mony to his great improvement since he left England.
 PrOfited by Change
 Freddy Welsh, Matt Wells and Joe Fox are still other fighters who were not so good in England, but became fine fighters in the United States
 Of course. the American fight fan will give as tho reason for this that over here. where the going is more rigorous than England, foreign

 Evolution, the Dalfiia
 This is not story to disturb the belief of Colonel Bryan, as with him, l don't believe that my ancestors were monkeys, but one to point out what we Americans know Is pos- sible, though monkeyIng with any thing.
 It is long cry from Mother Eve to the modern socfety woman, not much perhaps. in the matter of clothes. but considerable. no doubt, in general aspect. The evolution of man could be no stranger. and cer- tainly not as fast. as the remark-> able results achieved with plants. It is not certain where the parent plany of the dahlia was first known, but there is evidence that Mexico sup piled the plant from which has been bred the numerous and glorious varities that we have today. X Swedish botanist by the name of Dahl. from which the flower takes its name of Dahlia. Is the man to whom we are indebted for the pioneer work that has made the modern dahlia the millionaires hobby.
 If 1t were possible to contrast the original wild plant with some of the ot'h4iacs ib WOdi0 b0 q iocSVAi in evolution that would make us all have more respect for Darwin.
 Preventing Potato Scab
 Just now, when many people arc preparing to plant a fall crop of potatoes. it Is important to know how to prevent the crop from being scabby. Nearly all the seed available for planting is more or less affected with scab. and even where not af- fected. the disease is common to most garden soils; so the only safe thing to do, isNto treat the planting seed to destroy scab or reduce to a minimum. Three simple methods are here given. To each peck of seed after cutting. roll into five pounds of sulphur. and the sulphur that don't adhere to the cutting distribute iA the furrow. Another sure shot Is the corrosive sublimate treatment. Dis- solve half ounce of corrosive subli- mate in four gallons of water, soak whole potatoes in solution an hour and half or two hours, take out. let dry, then cut and plant in tho usual way. Another successful treat. ment is. mix one ounce commercial liquid formaldehyde in two gallons of water and soak the whole potato In solution for two hours, dump out, let dry. then cut and plant in the usual way. In both liquid treatments the potatoes may be placed in a sack and suspended in solution. Be careful about poisons.
