EDGE HILL READY
FOR JAZZ TOURNEY
It will Be Only Six Holes. Which

Competitors
TOUGH FOR H0FFNER

The Edge Hill Golf Club. which is
situated in the burg Of the same name
along the line of the Philadelphia and
Reading Railroad, will play host TO nu-
merous golfers next Saturday after
| noon. Any mashie swingcr who jour
! neys out there to test his skill on the
fairways and traps Is promised an aft
| ernoon that will linger for aye in the
book Of his remembrance.
a jazz tournament Is on the cards
and jazz explains everything that this
tournament will be. Fortunately for
| only be for six holes but those six will
be a better test Of nerve control than
skillful golf.
There will be two teams of four men
each, with one ball for each team. The
captains will assign one club to man.
and that man will use it at his cap
tain's direction. In order to assist the
players when making strokes the GAL
lery will use such instruments of tor
ture as bells. whistles. rattlcs. horns
or just the lungs with which nature
equipped them. Other novelties in the
noise making line will be invented in
the next few days to add 20 the din.
a nine hole medal handicap tourna-
ment, open to guests as we'll as mem
bers, will follow the torturing exhibi-
ton Of the jazz affair. J. Franklin
Meehan, the godfather Of junior golf in
Philadelphia. is the president of the
club and is sponsoring this pair of tour
naments.
The professional at Edge Hill is Joe
! Cavanaugh. Joe Is veteran of the
World War. He went overseas and was
pretty badly battered up. When he re.
turned from France he decided to make
golf his vocation in life. He had Iona
experince as a caddy and clubmaker and
eventually secured the berth as profes-
sional at Edge Hill
He has not appeared much in tourna =
ment or match play, but as an instruc-
tor and in the making of clubs he is dis
! tinctly an asset. After all. something
more than a reputation as player is
nceded-and Cavanaugh fits in very well

Accounting The Rate Cut
eastern railroads have

eastern railroads nave an
nounced their acceptance of the rate
cut ordered by the Interstate Com
merce Commission. The rest, though
somewhat more strongly opposed
are expected to follow suit
This is wise. The cut is by no
means drastic. In fact, it amounts
to considerably less than it is gen
orally understood to be. The 10 per
cent reduction covers only classes
of freight that were not affected
by the last set OF rate reductions,
Its actual effect. therefore, is eX-
pected to be no more than per
cent cut on the total volume Of
railroad freight.
1T is generally agreed that the
roads can stand this without seri-
Gus loss during the summer months,
particularly when counteracted by
wage cuts announced and expected
and that the increased volume of
traffic in the fall will easily make
up any temporary loss Of income.

To Maintain Fair Prices.

The meeting today with Secretary
Hoover will consider means of main
tanning a fair price Of such non
union coal as may be produced
while the strike lasts, and means OF
preventing runaway market
through speculation or an increasing
demand for such fuel as may be
available.
Such a program as has been pro-
posed as a result of the preliminary
conference called by Secretary Hoover
can only be made effective through
voluntary agreement of the pro-
ducers IF they refuse, or if any
considerable number CT them prove
recalcitrant, the proposition viii eel
lapse
Secretary Hoover, who is cngi-
ncering the program Of 'self-re-
straint," is hopeful of favorable ac-
ton this week; more hopeful, it is
said, than he was at the end OF the
first OF the week He has been
reminded that already mine prices,
which had begun to soar in Ger
tain producing sections, had come
down materially, some OF them as
much as 81 ton. If this proves t.
be true, he is inclined to believe
that an agreement which will be
effective may be reached.
If a voluntary arrangement IS per
footed at the Washington conference
which will reestablish the old Gar
field mine prices or which viii pro
vide for any other mine price con
troll upon which tho government Will
look with approval, it is indicated
that Secretary Hoover may invite tie
wholesalers and retailers to nee,
with him for similar arrangement
in the open market.

Figure in WOOD has various sources.
These may be grouped in those due
to structure, those caused by color
variations or augmentation, and to
combination of the two, says the
American Forestry Magazine. These
again may be classified as normal and
abnormal or pathologic. BY normal
is meant the natural condition of the
wood of a sound tree. In the abnor-
NAL or pathologic are to be found the
peculiar distortions and colorations re-
sulting from disease, the attacks Of
insects and the activities of various
agencies not part of the regular life
