bALAPLANSEAR[Y
GOLF TOURNAMENT
Far-Faned Local Event Revived
as Farewell to Divot-Scarred
Nine.Hole Links
MAY 4.6 DATE PROPOSED
BY SANDY McNIBIIICK

TT APPEARS as though every golf
L tournament regular in Philadelphia
has a cheer coming and hearty zip
of joy. The crinkly news of the day
is that this season Bala is going to hold
another tournament.
Bala tournaments always have been
an institution in this section. That Is
up until last year. The officials out
there decided to abandon the popular
event in 1921 because it was feared it
would conflict with club expansion
plans. II there are dull and aching
voids. that announcement left one.
Especially as 1t was thought that It
meant there would he no more tourna-
ments out there for some years. But
the club evidently felt as bad about 1t
as the guests OF the past.
There was lull at the meeting the
other night out at Bala. At other meet
inss It had been the signal for. a dis
cussion Of the tourney. This time the
members were restless. Their thoughts
were barking, back perhaps.
Anyhow when G. H. Skyes untangled
his full length and put the simple ques-
ton, "Why not?" the delegates needed
no explanation. They voted back the
tournament.
Last on Short Course
Work is to start very shortly out
there on the new eighteen hole course
and the Baln tournament this year will
be the official farewell to nine holes.
the valedictory to the stage Of many n
gala event.
The final details have not all been
arranged, but it is said the date will
very likely be May 4. s and G. This
is the week before the proposed opening
of the clubhouse which has been en-
tirely remodeled. If the dates named
are the final choice then Bala will have
the honor of officially opening the sea
son on local links.
Bala tournaments Of the past have
always drawn record entry lists despite
the fact that 1t was Il case of twice
around the nine holes for the qualifying
round and match pldy.
That difficulty was surmounted by
leaving gaps In the starting times, and
| despite the mobs there never was a
hitch. The club belongs to- the
starters during those days. It's get
together and classy event. All these
things have made 1t standard for
tournament efficiency and it has always
been one of the most popular events on
the local card.
Coming so early in the year and
being the last on the old layout. there
ought to be great tuinbling out for
the affair. The officials are out to
break all records for a good time on the
links.
You can see the Entertainment Com.
mittee off In Il corner of the locker
room most every day buzzng away aud
whispering their plans. This is the
secret stun and it goes big with the
invites.
Meantime, write down those dates,
We're told they'll stand.

SOY BEAN CROP is
HEAVY IN SUSSEX COUNTY

A survey of the soy bean crop in
lower Delaware by County Agent Nal
10y G. Vaughn shows that the yield is
ten per cent above normal. While this
condition prevails in Delaware, the
production in some of the other large
producing sections shows the crop to
be twenty per cent less than in 1921.
Prices being offered the growers in
all sections arethe lowest for sew
eral years, and the advice to the far
mers of lower Delaware given out by
County Agent Vaughn is to hold the
seed crop as he feels there will be a
rise in price before spring. Only a
few bushels are being shipped from
Sussex county, and it is believed that
the growers will hold the product un-
til the price advances. Approximate
ly rs per cent of the seed in the ag-
gregate has been harvested, but a
much smaller percentage has been
threshed and little Of it has been
marketed.

LITTLE BUT BROWN OR BLACK
IN FRENCH HATS

The winter millinery season for the
French woman is now at its height.
At the last races practically nothing
but small, cloche-shaped felt hats with
high dome crowns were worn, var
iously trimmed with ribbon cocardes.
Great ingenuity in the arrangement
of these cocardes was noted, straight
fluted bands, odd star-shaped moths
and fiat, many-lOoped rosettes, one
and all being employed, placed just
to one side of the back, fiat against
the crown. Generally speaking, these
ribbon ornaments were in self-tone.
Practically nothing but brown or
black hats are worn. Black hats are
seen trimmed with brown, or brown
with black, or again are in all black
or all brown.
Eyeryshade of brown is favored,
from the very lightest shades of tan
to dark tete de negre. The soft, red
browns, called shell or "ecaille," how
ever, are those most in demand.
Quantities of ribbons of all kinds
are being featured as trimmings
ranging in width from the very mar
row-namely, one-quarter inch gros-
grain-to the six and eight-inch velvet
and satin-backe6 moire ribbons.
Metal is also very extensively en-
ployed in all the French winter millin-
cry, as a covering for shapes as we'll
as for trimming, and metal brocades,
crushed metal cloth, plain metal cloth
of gold, silver or steel, as well as met
rtal brocaded silks, are variously en-
ployed on velvet, panne and felt hats.
Quantities of Oriental turbans are
still noted, worn both in the Hindu or
the=Persian styles. The former fea-
ture two or three heavy ropes of the
fabric twisted about the brim; the lat
ter features low crown, heavy draped
brim and fan-shaped, erect motif of
aigrettes placed directly at the front
of the crown.-Special from Paris Of
