 This card looks good deal like any other on first look, but it is diff ferent because this one can be read. It is almost impossible to read some score cards, to say nothing of read ing the local rules. Then. too, the arrangement of the handicap through the center fits twosomes or four somes. This simplicity and value speak for themselves. Many cards

have cut out the "bogey.'' Par is sufficient now. The card measures six inches. The possibility of using it for a stymie measure is rare, but since the stymie is with us it might as we'll be six inches as not.
 T might add here that many per sons interested in golf are mystified about the handicap figures. The handicap usually indicates the hard holes of a course. A handicap of l or 2. as for holes 12 and on the card shown thus would be the hard holes of the course. Where a player gets handicap of 10 from his op- ponent, he is given one stroke at each of the holes where the handi- cap shown Is 10 or less. Same thing with any other handicap involved.

A New Idea,

A New Idea.
 Alexander H. Revell. Chicago mer- chant, orator, wit and sportsman, whose works for golf in America have made his name adorn Golf,s Hall of Fame, contributes a new thought to the golfing world which undoubtedly will be adopted sooner or later, and I hope sooner, by golf clubs everywhere for the aid and comfort of the games tens of thou sands of devotees.
 His idea is so simple when you contemplate it that. like many an- other extremely useful things we have, a great thinker. thinks of it only to make us wonder why it wasn't thought of before. Mir. Re- veil urges the adoption throughout this country and Canada of a stand ard score card. His idea of what this card should be. like -is pictured below.

 COUZEN'S PHILOSOPHY

My philosophy of life," says James Couzens, United States sena- tor from Michigan, in Forbes Maga- zine, has been to let the future take care of itself. You cannot de- vote your mind or time to scheming and planning for your own future without injury to the work you have on hand at the moment. You must do what you can the best you know how each day. Obviously, you oan- not have your mind absolutely ab- sorbed in what you are doing and at the sam time be worrying or st. ategising about your own future activities or ambitions.
 A man must get his reward from his work. Work itself is the best, the only reware. ea
 The right kind of man, with the right. kind. of record. seldom, has to seek position or office. Usually the office seeks him."

Cuban Cafes in High Rent District Take Tip From
 United States
Statement December

Havana, Cuba, Jan. 6.-High rents are successfully supplementing the l. futile attempts oe the law to elimin- that ancient Latin institution-the ;corner loafer. Taking their cue from the high efficiency cigar stores and quick lunch counters Of the United States, several Havana cafe owners, who are paying top prices for choice loctions, have rid themselves of the drones who crowd their establish ments and drive away clients.
 They have removed the convenient tables and chairs, enlarged their bars and counters where coffee and other refreshments are served, and adopted other methods to assure quick service and speedy profits. The group of domino players who spent about 50 cents day and occupied the best table, have been forced to move. The political orator soon tires if he cannot sit down occasion ally. The whole tribe of loiterers finds it hard to pass a few hours in a cafe where the bar is swabbed con- tinually with a wet cloth, to the det- riment of carelessly placed elbows, and white shoes suffer from con- stantly moving mop.
 While the practice has improved sales and increased profits, nobody ye, has endeavored to learn whether the reform has pleased the weaker sex. It is a common belief that the first time a Cuban matron sruns yti ne eauntlets in front ofsany"one of the popular downtown cafes without cx- citing comment from the gallants lounging there, she goes. home to weep for her lost youth and femi- nine fascination.

HAND-oPERATED ICE MACHINE

HAND-OPERATED ICE MACHINE
 Making ice by hand is a rapid and inexpensive process when a small machine recently introduced in Eng
 land is used. The action of the ma chine. according to an illustrated article in the Popular Mechanics Magazine, is based on the principle that water freezes when rapidly evaporated in a vacuum with sulp- huric acid to absorb the vapor. The contrivance is especially adapted for icing mineral waters, making ice cream cooling butter, and the like.

Found by Bureau

The county weights and measures
department is checking up today
with representative of Wholesale
dealers in Los Angeles, from whom
canta'oupe growers have been buy
ing the paper used to protect their
Young plants from frost. IT was
discovered by the department that
the rolls were falling short of the
number of sheets they were, supposed
to contain, and an investigation was
ordered.
1t has been found that the rolls
are averaging shortage of from
$50 to 200 sheets, and the signifi;
cance of these figures will be better
understood when it is stated that in
the aggregate the shortage would
mean loss to the growers in the
county of $4,000 were it permitted
to 90 unchecked.
The wholesalers will likely take
the matter up with the state depart

good, in ease the responsibility is

During the night the French with

and when citizens appeared about
their duties this morning they en-
countered only an occasional sentry
pacing the downtown streets.
The bulk of the invading forces
has been Withdrawn to the suburbs.
The absence of tanks, armorcd ears
and machine guns was marked. Ger
man traffic police were in charge
throughout the city.
Surprised ut the absence of war
like demonstrations, citizens of Es-
sen, who had acted sullenly when the
city first was seized, were apparent
" engrossed in an effort to master
their resentment. Stiff German
smiles were exchanged as occasional
groups of French officers appeared.
The French commandeered the
Kaiserhof hotel, evicting both per-
manent and transient guests and

this their headquarters.

the miners pay has somewhat re
lieved this fear, however.

Asks Teacher to
Work in Valley
/ for For eigners

Miss Ethel Richardson of the state
department of education met the r!
Centre high school board and Prin-
cipal House last night and laid be-
fore. them the proposition to employ
"a specially trained teacher for work
among the adult foreign population
of the district. The board was most
receptive, discussing the question
thoroughly with Miss Richardson,
who believes that beyond question
of doubt such a teacher will be en-
ployed next year, if not during this
term.
The representative of the state
was gratified at the bus
'iness like manner in which the
board and high school principal ap-
preached the subject. They will
look into the matter and with the
aid of the Americanization commit
tee of the Ten Thousand Club will
endeavor to ascertain just how many
adult foreigners would be benefited
by the arrangement, and If cOndi-
tions warrant the employment of an
instructor for this particular work,
one will be secured.
The idea is to have Il well trained
woman with personality that will
enable her to go into the homes of
foreign women, and teach American
living and home making, as well as
giving instructions in sewing and
cooking as it may be needed. This
teacher would conduct night classes
for men also.
Miss Richardson closes her survey
at Brawley today.

BY tn;ted Press Leased wire

by Uaited Press Leased Wire
Anxiously, but calmly, the
world was adjusting itself today
to the new conditions in Europe,
wherein France has taken physical
possession, through her armies, OF
the rich German Ruhr district.
One OF the greatest coal produc-
ing and manufacturing areas OF
Europe has been occupied by thou
sands of troops without the firing
of a shot or the loss Of a single
French or German life to date.
Germany, meantime, has served
notice that she regards the treaty
of Versailles as violated, and that
such reparations payments as she
has been making will cease while
French and Belgian troops are in
the Ruhr. All that France gets,
therefore, she must take herself,
thus opening the way for further
complications.
Great Britain has decided that
British troops at Cologne shall re-
main at their post, established by
the Versailles treaty, pending de-
velopments.
Meantime, the transport, st.
Mihiel, will sail from New York
today to bring home the American
troops occupying Coblenz.
French engineers are on the
ground in the Ruhr preparing to
direct the mining Of coal and pro-
duction of other commodities
which France will seize as pro
ductive guarantees in lieu OF
rcparations payments.
Monday the French, Belgian and
Italian members Of the reparations
commission will meet and mark
ont program that will serve as a
response to Germany request for
q moratorium.
Though the United States and
Great Britain have openly express
cd their disapproval of the action
of Premier Poincare in seizing the
Ruhr, the overwhelming vote of
confidence given the French pre-
mier by the chamber Of deputies
leaves no doubt that he has COM
plete support at home.
Following meeting of French
and German communists at Essen,
Paris police announced discovery
of a plot of a general European
Red uprising. Many arrests
havebeen made in Paris.
