An Earful of Golf


 Golfers Use Ears and Play by Moonlight" ."-Headline). have often watched golfer as he
 stood upon the tee And observed the rythmic action of
 an ankle or knee. I have noted how he kept his eye upon
 the little ball, I have lamped him with his driver and
 his iron clubs and all I have followed golfing tournaments
 for many, many years, But l never had the luck to see a
 golfer use his ears. In the volumes of instructions that
 are printed for the dub There are chapters that inform us how
 the fingers grip the club. There are rules and regulations for
 the placing of the feet, And/the angle of the pelvis when the
 ball and driver meet. I have looked upon contortions that
 would drive snake to tears, But l never had the luck to see a
 golfer use his ears. I have often seen golfer use a pencil
 as club
 To conceal the painful fact that he
 was but hopeless dub. have hoard tho,, ,1sa +ba;r vo.oJ
 cords in many pit of sand, I have heard them use profanity to
 beat the we'll known band, 1 have seen them play with anguish,
 have seen them play with tears, But never had the luck to see 8
 golfer use his ears.
 Tobacco, according to Dr. H. L. Hull of the University of Wisconsin, increases human efficiency by five per cent.
 Them are tremendous words. They threaten to ruin the tobacco market. When kid smokes his first cigar cite, 1t is not through any ambitious desire to increase his efficiency. He smokes because he feels that it is wrong to smoke. He experiences a thrill at the thought of putting some- thing over on the universe. It leaves an unpleasant taste in his mouth and a shipwrecked sensation under his belt, but he is soothed and sustained by the knowledge that he has transgressed the law and become a desperate crimi- nal.
 Now all the joy is taken out of it. When his mother hands him package of cigarettes in the morning and says Here, Willie, take your efficiency increaser like good boy" he will protest against it, just as in other days he protested against oatmeal. The next. generation will give Lady Nicotine the air.
 As Kipling might have said but didn't, "A woman's a woman after all, but good cigar is medicine"
 Somebody is always taking the joy out of life.
 American eyesight is failing. We may lack the keen orbs of our sturdy ancestry, but there is more to be seen nowadays.

NEGRO ATTORNEYS FIGHT
VIRGINIA MILITARY
INSTITUTE

In suit for $4,000 for damages TO
hiSreputation, Professor Robert Ker-
lin, formerly Of Virginia Military In
stitute, lost by technical court ruling.
According to this ruling the Board Of
Visitors of the Institute were held to
be part Of the Executive Staff Of the
State, accountable only to thep Cover
nor and consequently not subject to
suit. Sometime ago, Professor Kerlin
wrote an open letter to the Governor
'of Arkansas protesting against the
railroading OF the so-called rioters
into the electric chair without a fair
trial. AS soon as this letter became
public, Professor Kerlin was called be-
fore the Board of Visitors for writing
it. He maintained his right to de-
fend the Negroes, to express his opin-
ions freely, and called attention to a
long record OF effort on his part to
bring about the spiritual and economic
improvement Of colored people
Professor Kerlin furnished the
Board with copy of his letter and
with other documentary evidence
showing his innocence of any wrong
doing. The envelope in which this
material was contained was returned
to him unopened He was dismissed
from the Board meeting without learn
ing what his fate would be and few
hours later he was notified BY letter
of his summary dismissal, and was
advised to vacate his home Of which
he was personally the owner, and that
the school officials damaged his repu-
tation by publishing articles about
him which caused him great incon-
venience and made it impossible for
him to secure a position as a teacher
in any other southern institution of
learning. He also charged that this
action was an invasion of his rights
of freedom of speech.
He decided not to appeal the case,
since he was satisfied that the law
was against him Professor Kerlin
will be recalled as being very friendly
to the Negro, being the author Of a
widely read book, THE Voice of the
Negro" and of several newspaper and
magazine articles on the same subject.
For many years he was member OF
the inter-racial committee of the
State of Virginia. Probably the great
est stir was caused by the fact that
he engaged two Negro attorneys,
William F. Denny of Richmond, Vir-
ginia, and Frank Harris Of Peters
burg, Virginia, as his counsel.
