Ibid you ever hear Of q square
golf ball-one that you had to slide
along the ground, instead Of rolling
It? You can imagine how hard II
would be to hole the ball"
We might as well admit now
that there have been times In our
golfing experience when we believe
we could have putted a square ball
into the hole In fewer strokes than
q round one.
Did you ever get to the putting
green in two beautiful shots, have
visions of making a birdie, and
then make your first put on a
lightning fast green, only to go
further from the hole than at first?
Then go over again, then put short,
and finally make the hole in seven
or eight strokes? Wouldn't u
square ball save strokes?

CON VIRGINIA FIRE CAUSE SMALL DAMAGE

Fire which was discovered on the f650-foot level of the Con-Virginia mine, Virginia City, Nevada, last week, was extinguished before any great danger resulted.
 The flames originated in an old stope, away from where work is being done, and the fire is believed to have been smouldering for couple of days.
 The fire was distinct from the big fire in the bonanza stopes which has been smouldering since bonanza days. Smoke poured from the Ophir shaft in great volume, and it was at first be- lieved by the management that the fire had reached greater proportions than was later found to be the case.
 On this same level fire in the bon anza stope is thought to have been started by spontaneous combustion |: many years ago. In 1886 men worked in this territory with the aid of plenty of water and fresh air, but until the . last few years no work has been done since that time. Valuable ore bodies are known to exist in the big stope and many of the old fills are now made up of rich ore. and charcoal- , Appeal.

CALIFORNIA WILL
 RUSH HIGHWAY WORK

Immediate and active support of the Board of Supervisors in an appeal to the State Highway Commission to be- gin work at once on the improvement of the Old Trails Highway between Barstow and Needles was secured yes terday by Supervisor c. s. Grain of Victorville.
 A committee of the board will seek to arrange an early conference with officials of the Highway Commission to urge that surveys be started at once so that the work on the road can begin this winter. ,.
 The state has $34O,0O0 available for improvements between Barstow and Needles, and it is possible that an equal amount can be secured from the federal road aid appropriation. While this money is far from sufficient to pave the highway, it is enough to pave those stretches which are nightmares to motorists.
 One Bad Spot Left.
 Within eight months or a year the northern counties of Arizona will have completed the improvement of the Old Trails Highway across that state, leaving the stretch between Needles and Barstow as practically the only bad spot on the entire highway across the continent.
 Arizona is also to pave the Parker Phoenix route, which will connect with the Old Trails Highway at Needles, over good dirt road from Parker to Needles.
 George S. Hinckley, of Redlands, made the official report of the San Bernardino County delegation at the Good Roads conference at Phoenix to the board of supervisors.
 Is Leading Route :,
 "The Old Trails Highway is certain to be the leading transcontinental route," said MT. Hinckley. "This is
Mohave County miner and our mineral wealth., 1922-05-12

true for the reason that Arizona and New Mexico are now spending very large sums on this road, which is al ready we'll paved in middlewestern states. The Bankhead Route, which is routed via Phoenix, Yuma and Ell Centro cannot become as good road as the Old Trails Highway for years, tfop the reason that Texas has done nothing on this road, Georgia is now to vote on constitutional amend ment to make possible the voting of bonds for paving, and other southern states have done little.
 "The Old Trails Highway will re- ceive not only all the travel that originates on that road, but in this county will be augmented by that over the Phoenix-P Parker cutoff and by the Salt Lake or Arrowhead Trail route. We will also receive a con- siderable share of the Bankhead route, for the travel will divide at Fl Centro, a part of it going via San Diego and the remainder this way"
 No Survey Planned.
 As the situation now stands the Highway Commission does not plan to make a survey of the Barstow- Needles section until winter, which would mean construction work would not begin untA winter after next.
 "This is one of the most important roads for all of California" said MT. Grain, land I believe if the situation could be called to the attention of the commission with a vigorous ap- peal that the survey could be secured at once and work started this winter"
 The paving of the stretch between Summit and Victorville, now under way, will be completed by early fall, and it is expected the contract will then be let for the section between Victorville and Barstow, the survey for which has been made.-San Ber- nardino Morning Sun.

SEND OLD CLOTHES NEAR EAST RELIEF

Club and church women are actively engaged in promoting the Bundle Week Campaign designed to collect and ship spare clothing to help cloth the near-naked of the Near East.
 The campaign has been indorsed by national, state and local organizations because of the piteous appeals that have been made by the friends of the subject races of the war-torn areas of Armenia, Anatolia, Cilicia, Syria and other of the Bible lands.
 Plans for the conduct of the cam paign are rapidly developing accord, ing to the information obtained at the headquarters of the Near East Relief Bundle Week Committee.
 The committee is asking for clothes and shoes that have been discarded by adults and the garments that have sutgrown by the children. In thhe lit- erature being distributed is a state ment to the effect that only warm clothing is desired. The reason for this is that the people in those noun tainous areas where the thermometer registers 15 to 20 below zero have very little fuel to burn for heating pur- poses. In some of the schools operat- cd by the Near East Relief in con- nection with the orphanages, the teachers are obliged to wear their heaviest wraps in the improvised school rooms and the children sitting upon the floors because of the lack of chairs shiver while learning the three R's."
 "A lot of the clothes worn during the last winter will be out of style in America next winter while in Ar menia it will save lives" said Mr.. Willis, chairman. "It will be we'll for the women to make a clean job of cleaning out the closets and attics while they are at it this Spring. Clothes ten year out of style will be welcomed over there"

P TRADERS SLAIN
 IN NAVAJO COUNTRY

SANTA FEE, N. M., May 4.-That 22 traders have been killed in the Navajo country in the past 20 years was a starting fact brought out in connection with the death sentence re- gently imposed by District Judge Holloman at Gallup on the three In- dians who were convicted of murder ing Frank Lewis at a post a few miles north of Gallup. Judge Hollo- man, who has returned here from Gallup, says that reports that Indians were gathering on the reservation were probably caused by councils call ed to raise funds to carry the case of the Indians to the supreme court. The proceeds of the butchering of Lewis and burning his body on an oil soaked mattress were $110 in money, two guns, some belts and quantity of turquoise.
