MANILA, March 6.-Frank w. Car penter, who has been right-hand man to every Governor-General of the Phil ippines from Taft to Wood, and who succeeded General John J.

He not only wishes to pro- vide homes for thousands of poor fam lilies, but to produce the fruits, vege- tables and poultry products that are now imported into the islands, chief Iy from China.

 Thirty such men are now working on Carpenters ranch. They are for the most part men of the peon class, very probably driven into crime by unbearable condition imposed upon them by their "amos," or masters, and the opportunity Carpenter gives them is by far the best they ever had in their lives.

Has a player the right at any
time during the playing of hole
to ascertain the number Of strokes
his opponent has played? Is there
any penalty if an opponent gives
,he wrong information as to the
number Of strokes he has played?
A player is entitled at any time
during the PLAYING of a hole to ask
eais oap6nent how many strokes he
tas rIayed. Very Otter, such knowl
edge has considerable Influence
on the play. If player gives
wrong information as to the num-
Der of strokes he has played, he
shall lose the hole unless he cor
reefs the mistakes before his OPP
ponent has played another stroke.
Is there any different with the
order of play on the putting green
than through the fairway? If a
player puts out of order on the
green how can the mistake be rec
titled?
When both balls are on the putt
ing green, the same custom that
prevails in the rest of the game is
followed the farther from the
hole is played first. If player
nearer the hole should err and play
first, his opponent has the right to
lIcall the stroke, make Him re-
place the ball and wait until proper
turn.
