spells of sickness that put him back.
For out door exercise he plays golf
He always was a good golfer, but for
two years they would not let him
play at all, but he has SO improved
that they told him he could play last
year, and he soon made the Stanford
golf team, was made manager and
won the championship of the school
for 1922. He has a good many cups
that he won some years ago In state
meets, and a gold watch, but Stan
ford gave plaque that he values
more than anything he ever receiv-
ed. 1t is a shield with bronze
wreath and scroll with his name and
for what it was given. They were
down here Christmas day. Soon af
ter the first of next month we expect
to drive up to Monterey and they
' Ill come down from the north and
we will go into camp for few days
at Camp Ideal' out on the point
near the light house, the most his
toric place there is in all California.
Mary and were there twice last
summer, and after we had been
there the first time and had gone
over to Eureka canyon I wrote let
ter for one Of the papers, which
they published. Two of us went
fishing in a small boat, far out in the
bay where we caught Sc game fish
that gave us the time of our lives.
The big looms encircled our boat,
and every time we got a fish hooked
all made a dive and tried to catch it
before we could get it landed. That
was an exciting day. We had all the
fish that we could get to the car
l. yat hnn nIy tn 40 10 n d
ing. They were cleaned at camp
and all salted down for future use.
Now what l am looking forward to,
Is a repetition of that days fishing,
onlv 7 do not want the looms. It is
past belief, how fast they can swim
the water after the fish.
The fish were too big for them to do
with even if they caught
one, but they scared the rest away,
60 that we had to several times stop
fishing, and fish for looms. The way
we got rid of them was to take a
light line and some bait tnat would
float, and throw the line as far as we
could They staid some 40 or so
feet away from the boat; sometimes
we had a circle clear around us, and
very soon we had Mr.. Loon by the
bill. OF all the t'fowl" language we
heard while that loon was being
hauled in; it would be shame to
print it. 1t seemed to have an effect
On the others for they moved long
way off and did not bother us for
some time.
Last month and this l have been
playing golf the most of the time. l
am one of a "foursome" that played
together last month and SO far this.
Last month we played at beautiful
at the California. and at
but this month we have
played entirely at the Municipal
inks located in Griffith's park.
get up at o'clock, get light
breakfast, then in the car and meet
he others. At 7:30 we are regis
,ered and playing. Yesterday We all
entered tournament that will last
'or month. do not expect to win
anything, but 1 will have as much
'un as the rest of them.
Since writing the above, We drove
)ut Hollywood boulevard, past the
Douglas Fairbanks and Mary Pick !
'Robinhood" was made and where |
hey are getting ready for the new
picture. Hundreds of thousands of
sets" for Robinhood, and it has all
quilt of granite and concrete. They |
seem to be working that in with the
new picture.
We drove on by there and finally |
came to a big flying field where
here were as many as 20 or 80
the most of them big
ones with wing spread of 40 to so |
'eet, but there were three or four
small ones, scouts, but my, how |
hey can go! We saw them leave |
he field, four and five at a time, |
oaded with passengers, going for a !
'ide out over the ocean and UP over |
he mountains. How easy it all |
ooked as one watched them start |
IN their trips and later come back |
md land. l believe the time is COM
ng when they will be very common,
md safe too. 1t is safer up in the |
air now in one of them than it is |
lown on the ground in Los Angeles |
With it's more than 25O,000 register
ID autos which kill and MAIN every |
lay. The congestion here is getting |
% be something awful. California |
ssued a license the other day for |
he millionth car, more cars than |
are registered in any state in the |
lnion, all because of these grand |
roads from one end of the state to
he other. There are two roads from
here to Frisco, that are each paved,
he inland route and the coast |
route. The traffic over both is very !
leavy.
Thursday Mary and I got a friend |
Of ours, from back in Des Moines, |
md her son. and we took them to
