: Her Reasoning.--Two men were dis
cussing golf courses in general and
pretty little nine-hole course IN paru-
cular. Eventually the conversation
turned to q certain eighteen-hole
course familiar to both.
Il always think" commented one to
the other, ''that the little nine-hole
course is far more difficult than the
eighteen hole course"
.ewell, one would expect it to be So"
exclaimed lady friend, who needless
to add, did not play golf.
"why?" asked the two men simul-
taneously.
.'why, it is obviously easier to get a
little ball into one of the holes when
there are eighteen. 1t would be twice
as hard when there are only nine"

A Wilkesbarre, Pa, man charged
with wife beating, had both eyes
blackened Tuesday by. the magistrar
who ended the incident by imposing a
$40 fine. The magistrate Alderman
Edward Burke, of Pittston, Pa, had
heard only part Of the wife's testimony
when he shouted: II am going to see
how he likes it." and, jumping over his
desk ordered Anthony Azakas, the de-
fendant, to stand up. AS Azakas did
the magistrate hit him a sharp blow
over the left eye. The defendant fell,
but was ordered up again and received
another judicial punch over the other
eye, which once more sent him to the

"A new airplane speed record was
made at Selfridge field, Mt Clemens,
Michigan, last Wednesday, by Briga-
dier General William Mitchell, assist
ant chief of the United States airplane
service. Using tho same Curtis plane
with which Lieutenant R. ]. Maughan
last week won the Pulitzer trophy, he
drove it in four heats at the rate Of
224.05 miles an hour. The test was
timed officially BY representatives of
the Federation Akroque International.
1t will be remembered that Maughan
drove the same plane at the rate of
243.94 miles an hour Immediately after
the flight in which he won the cup,
but as this flight was not timed off,
cially it does not count as record,
General Mitchell says that recent tests
have shown the necessity for further
protection for the pilot. His leather
helmet was burst open by the wind,
and he says that If he had thrown out
his arm during the flight the member
would have been blown off. He is
convinced of the necessity for an en-
closed cockpit under such conditions.

manager bought and staged play and
then became cursed with the usuai
doubts. He felt that it would never go.

to make conversation the author asked.
"Who is that strengthening fellow?'
THAT" said the manager. That's

IMPRISONMENT FOR DEBT
Objectionable Old Practice Does MOI
Exist Any More.

To the Editor of The Enquirer:
Several days ago 1 noticed that some
writer stated that the abolition of i'm
prisonment for debt in this country
began in Kentucky in 1921. But he
forgot to state that in 1922 it is an
easy matter in many states to imprison
one for debt. Under our laws in a
purely civil action (arrest and bail
procedure) you can arrest a party for
debt and if he is unable to make bond
goes to Jail. If the accused is Unable
to employ competent and influential
counsel he will stay in Jail until his
case is tried.
Unfortunately the layman cannot
secure reforms in our court procedure,
for the laws are made for the lawyers
and as our Judiciary is controlled by
the lawyer politicians. the average liti-
CANT, without money or political in
fiuence, hasn't much show in our
courts.
From the parasites, who hang around
our courthouses and get their $500 per
day, on up to the bench you see the
Shiny trial Of politics leading, and the
average litigant would rather be in
Jail than hanging around a courthouse.
Robert Tucker.
Gastonia, N. c., Oct. 18th, 1922.
The process described hardly in
wolves Imprisonment for debt, as that
Objectionable practice once existed.
Under the old law, now happily OBJ
solete, it was the privilege Of the
creditor to put the delinquent debtor in
Jail and hold him there until the
creditor was satisfied either by pay
ment or expiration. That cannot be
done any more. There are various In
direct ways In which a man may be
imprisoned for debt; but invariably
the outcome must either be discharge
after hearing, or a definite sentence
for some breach Of the law other than
the mere matter of having contracted
the debt. Ed. Yorkville Enquirer

Should Take Survey.

Following Rev. Wardlaw's talk, Rev
Wilson dwelt at some length on the
Importance of each Sunday school in
the presbytery, making a Sunday
school survey in its own territory
Citing the experience of his own Sun
day school, he said in making a sur
vey he learned that there were 1O7
people in the McConnellsville section
who attended no, Sunday school, de-
spite the fact that his Sunday school
membership was more than $50.
The report and discussion relative
to Sunday school work was considered
one of the most interesting and in
spring matters to come, before pres
bytery and most of the delegates went
away with a new vision of Sunday
school possibilities in their own re-
spective fields.

House Of Representatives Has Gut
Budget Bureau Estimates by many
Millions.

The sentiment expressed In some
quarters that the Congress is not con-

expenses is wholly unfounded, as the
action OF the House Of Representatives
upon estimates submitted to 1t by the
Budget Bureau shows Acting in ac-
cordance with the budget law, esti-
mates for the executive departments
were submitted to the Congress In ~
different bills. Four Of these bills have
been acted upon by the House of Repre-
scntatives and the appropria lions ask
ed reduced by $53.OOO,0OO.
Twelve million dollars was cut from
the budget presented by the Treasury
Department, $25, 0OO,0 900 from the Post
office budget, $10,OO0,000 from the bud
get covering all the independent gov
ernmental agencies, such as the Ship
ping board, Interstate Commerce Com
mission, Federal Trade Commission.
Civil Service Commission, etc, and
$6,0O0.000 from the budget for the Dis
trict of Columbia. Eight more esti-
mates remain for the consideration of
the House, and it is said by those who
are i'll position to know that the re-
auctions on some budgets yet to be con-
sidered will be greater than upon any
