Zone Trick a Day

If you tell people that it is possible
to break a stick of wood that has
been placed in horizontal position
on top of the mouths of two tum-
blers without injuring the glasses,
they will naturally display great
skepticism. However, it is a decided
scientific problem, and with the
proper preparations Is made easily
possible.
The stick must not be very thick,
and must be tapered to a point on
the ends that rest on the glasses.
The glasses should also be perfectly
level. Care must likewise be taken
that the points of the stick only rest
lightly on the glasses.
Now after these preliminaries have
been attended to, II a speedy and
smart blow be struck the stick in

PADDOCK NOT TO

BURLINGTON, Iowa, Dec. 7.- Charlie Paddock. the human Flash" is not at all likely to be slowed up in his marvellous sprints as a result of the sprained ankle he received in basket ball practice Wednesday night.
 This reassuring statement was made late Friday by pr. J. H. Hanna, Paddock's attending physician, as Paddock awkwarly hobbled on crutches to railroad train which is bearing him to his home in Pasadena.
 Dr. Hanna who had previously expressed the fear that permanent stiffness might result in Paddocks 8 ankle which would slow him up fifth of a second or more in the 100- yard dash, now declares there is little possibility if impairment of the sprint stars speed.
 The sprain must be given plenty of time to heal, however, and Pad dock will be forced to travel about on crutches for at least month.

DEBT ADJUSTMENT
 FUR MEXICO BEGUN
Plan Declared In Operation By Bankers Committee
 Following Remission

NEW YORK, Dec. 17.-Anneune.ng that sufficient funds had been re mItted by the Mexican government to provide the first years service cn bonds now deposited, the interna- tional committee of bankers on Mexico, tonight declared the plan of debt readjustment operative.
 Simultaneous announcements were made in New York. Lon ion, Paris and Mexico City, and official adver- tisements declaring the plan opera tive will be published In newspapers in those cities tomorrow morning.
 Today's action marked the consum- nation of steps instituted February 24, 1919, when formation of the in ternational committee of bankers was undertaken. The agreement for the resumption of interest pay ments on the Mexican external debt aggregating about $500,0O0,000 in principal was signed in New York in June, 1922, after conferences here at hich Mexico was repr scented by Adolofo de Ia Huerta, then minister of finance.
 The official announcement states that sufficient progress has been made both in the deposit of bonds and in making available funds for

bord interest service during 1923 to Justify the international committee in declaring the plan operative.
 Not only has there been remitted more than sufficient to provide the first years service on bonds now deposited" said an official state- ment by Thomas w. Lamont, of J. P. Morgan & Co., chairman of the in- ternational committee in the United States, but the minimum fund of S15, ,O00,000 United States gold cover ing the first years debt service on all the $500,000,00 or more bonds included within the agreement has been almost completed.
 "The committee has received from the Mexican minister of finance (Mr. PanD information positive as to the total completion of the $15,0O0, GOO fund prior to the end of the year. Moreover Finance Minister Pani has recently reiterated the government s assurance that it expects to take such measures as may be necessary, looking forward to the carrying out of the debt agreement in future years"
 While New York members of the international committee of bank CTS declined to comment on the out break of revolution in the five Mexican states they were understood to be confident that the Obregon government would be able to cope with the situations @@
 Bondholders were invited to de- posit their bonds promptly as the committee of bankers reserve the right to accept deposits after De- cember 31, 1923, only subject to such terms and conditions as the com mittee may fix.
 Actual payments probably will not be made until after the first of the year, as considerable time is re- quired to prepare coupons and war rants to be attached to the original bonds deposited.
 MT Lamont pointed out informally that the bonds deposited under the

 The retired. undefeated light weight champion tucked his whiskers in his vest, lowered the racing chart that he was studying and glared over his spetacles.
 One Eyed Connolly is fake. I've seen this fellow that calls himself l One-Eyed Connolly. He's only got one eye and his name may be Con- nelly, and he may come from Boston, l but he ain't One-Eyed Connolly.
 One Eyed Connolly is dead, God l rest his soul. He was a tough guy but~you had to hand it to him. One | Eyed Connolly came from Boston and | he never trained a minute of his life and never even had so much as a rub down, but how he could fight! e-Eyed Connolly had a brother 1 who ran a boxing college up in Bos- 1 ton under the name of Prof. John Connolly.

BUTTON STRIKES;
 AND so DOES LAW

KANSAS CITY, Mo- Dec. 7.- Kirby McRill, who between his long hikes to preserve his ruddy skin manicures the sod near Tongannoxie, Kans., for his three squares a day, is in the tolls of the law all because a button on his trousers went on a strike. It was while McRill was talk ing his morning constitutional Fri day-a 2S-mile jaunt just to tempt bis palate--that the near tragedy oc- cured.
 For several years the button has remained closer to the toddler than an insurance agent A pair of ab- breviated baseball trousers with 8 shirt of the same color, but not quite so short, have kept McRill barely within in the law
 Suddenly Friay morning as he swung into the last mile of his stroll his trousers began to sag; he felt a breeze and it wasn't bit windy.
 Early morning workers gazed doubtfully while the women turned away discreetly as McRill tugged madly at the slipping trousers and fled down the street. X few blocks away he entered a store, called for a belt, put it on and they walked away.
 Police later explained to him that he had neglected to pay the clerk, and then booked him on a charge of shoplifting. Municipal Judge Ed ward J. Fleming will write the last episode to the thriller Saturday when McRill is scheduled to appear before him.

Localities where nature plays queer tricks are not wanting, but one of the most interesting is the gulf coastal plane," or the gulf coast of Texas Down in Brazoria county they get pure sulphur, oil, salt and gyp- sum out of one hole.
 Within 100-foot radius there have been drill, d dry hole, a small oil well that had to be pumped out. and one which gushed 10000 barrels day. Recently, however, this terri tory added new freak of nature. an oil well owned by one company at West Columbia, which had been pumping 100 barrels a day for the past couple of years, suddenly turned. without warning or any work being done. into a gusher making 2,000 bar Nrels a day.-Washingto Star.

FROM 16as TO 1a23

The Royal Blackheath Golf club. the oldest in the world, was founded in 1908. I saw the course when I was in England II IS flat and been easy to care for all those years,
 Scotland soon got busy and formed in 17S5, 1744 and 1754, respectively, the famous golfing societies, the Edin- burgh Burgess Golfing society, the Honorable Company of Edinburgh Golfers. and the Royal and Ancient Golf club. St. Andrews. The' first Royal and Ancient was held in 1754, and the business of the workers in gold and silver must have increased at once.
 In 1884 the Royal and Ancient King William " was first competed for. All this time the feather stuffed ball was being used, but in 1S4S the gutta ball came in. Soon we begin to see the names of the famous pro- fessionals, among whom were Allan, Robertson, the two Dunns, Tom Nor ris,. Sr., and Jr., Willie Park, Bob Ferguson and others. I remember visiting the old cemetery at St. An drews and reading the epitaphs, written in golf language, of these old heroes. Stories of their per formances upon the links still pass from mouth to mouth in bonnie Scot land.
 In 1860 the first British open championship was played and Willie Park, Sr., won it. In 1863 King Ed ward VII, then Prince of Wales, was elected captain of the Royal and An cient club, a great honor for the King. In 1865 England and Scot land joined hands in the formation of London Scottish Golf club. Up to and including 1887 Tom Nor ris. Sr., had won the open champion ,laf fDt, noted that Tom Morris. Jr.. had won the open championship three times in succession, and become the pen- manent possessor of the champion ship belt.
 On November f. 1873, the Montreal the first golf club on the continent of America. The files of old news papers at Charleston, s. C.. show, however that golf was played near there many years before. In 1874, the Quebec Gulf club was estab- 1876. In 1878 the first Oxford Cam bridge university was played
 In 1881 Willie Davis. the first golf professional to come to America, ar- rived in Montreal, and began his du- ties at the Montreal club. In 1SSs was established. In the same year the St. Andrews Golf club was formed at Yonkers. N. Y. In 1890. the year in which I was born, John Ball Won both the open and anna teur championship. and it was 26 years later before the feat was dupli- catcd in America.
 In 1892 Edward Blackwell drove 366 yards with an old gutta ball. By this time golf history was multiply ing rapidly, and the names of Tait, Hilton and others now famous be- gan to appear.
 In 1894 the United States Golf as- sociation was formed and W. J. Travis won his first national cham picnship in 1903. The year before the rubber-cored ball had been in- troduced into Great Britain. Now we are upon familiar ground, and the names of Travers and Ouimet appear.
 In the summer of 1920 Ted Ray of England carried off the open cham pionship honors while in September of the same year, I regained the amateur championship at the En- glneers club. Roslyn, Long Island.
