country. We have the best school system in all the
world, yet we stand ninth among the nations of the
world in literacy.
There are five millions of illiterates in the United
States over ten years of age. The war intelligence
tests disclosed the startling fact that .20%o of our
population cannot use the English language so as to
understand the written word or to express themselves.
o80 OF the illiterates in our cities are foreign born.
The foreign press keeps the foreigner foreign.
The foreign language press in this country has de-
tended itself on the ground that only by talking a for
elgn language could we teach the foreigner American
IDEAS and ideals. 1t has defended itself on the ground
that it was the melting pot that educated the foreigner
INTO the American. But the records prove conc1u-
s1vely that is has not taught American ideas or Ameri-
can ideals and it has not made these ideals safe in
the hands of men and women who think only in a
foreign tongue; who live Is years in the heart of our
country for no end but to suck its wealth that they
may go back to a foreign home to spend that wealth.
! he foreign language paper is the most un-American
institution tolerated by the most generous and the
most tolerant of people.
1t their professions be true, the best patriotic service
that any foreign language newspaper can render to
the United States is to go out of business.

THE New Year begins precisely at
Il midnight, and almost everyone now
adays sees the New Year in by general
festivities and many good resolutions,
which are promptly forgotten on JAN
uary 2.
The festivities marking this occasion,
says Hereward Darlington, scientist
and author, are very ancient, and in
old Saxon days it was the custom to
partake of a bowl of spiced ale, which
vas passed around with the expression
"Wasshael," which meant ito your
health !" Hence the origin of the Was
sail, or Wassel bowl.
We now keep New Year on January
the first but the Chinese, Jews, Turks
and many others do not observe it on
this day. Even Christian countries have
not always so observed it the Romans
began the year with the March
equinox. The later Teutonic nations
for a long time continued counting the
beginning of the year from March 20
1t was only in 1868, by an edict OF
Charles TX, that France changed the
time of the beginning of the year to
January l.. In 1000 Scotland made
the same change, and England only
did so in 1852, when the Gregoriar
system was adopted there. 1t will
thus be seer that the New Year, OBJ
served on January 1, is relatively new
though we are accustomed to think
that it dates back from time i'm

MARY stopped milking the
lVl COW to tell the hired
man she had found a real
friend in her girl chum who
has all the good things in life.
Il used to think she was awful
mean," said Mary, "but she's
the kindest creature in the
world. When she bought four
diamond rings and had three
others given to her it seemed
to me she might have given one
to me. We went to the red
school together. But she
learned not to give, and |
learned to be envious. Then |
went to school again among the
daisies and along the hedgerows
and they taught me truth. My
friend had let me see those
rings and enjoy their beauty
and that's all she got out of
them herself. She kept from me
the worry of guarding them.

speaking Ile lEUlu
Donald Ross, we'll known architect
and authority, who came to this coun-
try from Scotland more than twenty
years ago, in discussing the game re-
Gently, said practically the same thing.
Ross is the man who laid out the
Skokie course in Chicago over which
the open championship will be played
this year. He was explaining what
fine test of golf this course was and
how he was sure it would meet with
the approval Of the contestants The
genial Scot proceeded then to give his
ideas of the kind Of course and the
sort of holes he liked best. And in the
course of the conversation he said:
"America has gone far ahead Of the
old country. The people in the United
States take the game more seriously
than they do on the other side. | think
they are better students of the game
here than they are over there, and they
pick it up more rapidly.
They are quite content in England
and Scotland to remain satisfied with
the courses that were laid out some
years ago. I think there has been more
advancement in the game here. And
there is no doubt in my mind that this
country in due time will be the leader
in golf"
Is Busiest Golf Architect
Ross ought to know whereof he
speaks. He is probably the busiest
architect in the country just at present.
Within the last twenty years he has
laid out some 800 courses in every part
OF this country, with the exception of
the Pacific Coast. He is going to Cali
tornia this summer to do some work.
Generally one hears nothing but
praise for the work of this man. He
has his own ideas as to how course
should be laid out which usually give
general satisfaction.
Il do not believe in making course
too hard. That is quite easy to do.
Also l do not believe in making it too
easy. l believe a course should be
laid out in such a manner that the
good short golfer can get to the green
quite as we'll as the long hitter. You
know that the average player is the
man whose game ranges between 80
and 100 and he has to be taken into
consideration"
Ross considers the sixteenth hole on
the No. 2 course at Pinehurst as being
the ideal two-shot hole. zone can get
to the green two ways on that hole"
he says. 1.-The short player can drive
to the right of the bunker, then play
to the left to escape the trap on the
right and get to the green easily in
three, whereas the long player can go

Newark 1wirlers

With Deane "Sarah" Barnhardt and
Lutte Barnes furnishing an invincible
brand Of twrling, the Newark Bears
defeated the Jersey City Skeeters at
Newark yesterday in no-hit-no-run
exhibition game. The score was 3 to 0.
For five innings Barnhardt stood Ben
Egan's warriors on tLeir heads with his
underhand offerings. The visitors never
got anything that was the semblance
or hit and were turned back in order.
Barnes went to the mound in the sixth
and continued the good work.
Freitag, the Jersey City catcher, was
the only Skeeter to reach first base
during the game. In the sixth inning
Barnes handed him free transportation
but he died as the result of double
play: Freitag also reached first in the
ninth on Woods's error.
The Bears collected eight safeties off
cellars and Metivier. They scored in
the first inning when Webb drew a
pass and scored on Brainard's double to
the left field wall.
In the third Newark ocorad apain
Taggert got life when cellars dropped
his fly and Webb sacrificed. Taggart
scored on Woods's one-timer to left,
The Bears's final tally was scored in
the fifth. Taggert doubled, went to
third on Webb's fly and scored on
Brainards sacrifice fly. The score:

The Busting Bambno responded to-
the old home week. welcome from his
native town by crashing out his home
run in the third inning with Fewster
resting on the base path ahead Of him.
1t was terrific smash over the center

Elmer Miller later turned the same
trick. The outfelder came to bat in
the sixth inning with all the stations
packed with occupants and Lefty"
Groves out on the mound doing a bit
Of wild and wooly hurting for the
Orioles. Miller didn't waste even a
motion. He hit the first ball pitched
to him squarcly over the left field
fence and four more runs were added
to the Yankee total His blow was
more productive than that of the Bust
ing Bambino, but not so ponderous in
itself. The Babe culled his homer
from the shoots of Jack Ogden.
George Murray and Lefty ODoul did
the hurting for the Yanks, and a fine
job they made Of it, too. The former
Rochester hurler went the first five
innings like a veteran. He Welded
only two hits, one of them a scratch Off
his own glove and the other grounder
through the infeld. ODoul was also
;stingy with hits, giving only a pair Of
blngles in four innings, but he was un-
duly generous with passes, and a base
on balls that he gave to Styles resulted
IN run and robbed the Hugmen of a
shut-out.

the willow themselves. They gathered
