trict's time has been "frittered
away" for the past two years.
Mondell says that the District has
had time in plenty to pass its legis-
lation-but the time has been i'm.
properly used.
People Not to Blame.
Focht declares that he gave the
time away under an implied gentle.
mems agreement" that he would
get two extra days before Congress
adjourns.
The people of the District are not
responsible for this condition. in
justice to them some provision
should be made to take care of the
important pending legislation which
is necessary to the welfare of the
community.
Hours will be spent before ad-
journment in considering and pass
ing private claims. Private claims
have their merits but they are not
more important than legislation af-
fecting more than 450, 200 people in
the Nations Capital.
Nine months is long time to wait
between Congresses. It means at
least year before any District bills
can again, be considered by the
House.

The annually published volume of
the papers read before the society
IL accepted in historical circles as
among the most valuable contribu-
tons to historical literature. Each
year the volume makes it's appear
ance, sometimes little late owing
to the necessity Of providing finan-
cially for its publication. With the
Increased = membership, officers of
the society say, such delays will be
eliminated in the future. The an
nuai volume, which has come to
contain several hundred pages,
handsomely illustrated, is issued
free 70 members of the society.
In the membership drive a. spe-
cial effort is being made to enroll
members of Congress and Govern
Iment officials. Many Of the former
are frequent applicants for informa-
ton on historical data, which is sup
piled them by the society.
Among other aims included in the

which all societies find so bene-

been unable to indulge in activities
Of that kind owing to a lack of

Second Game Played Tuesday

ARLINGTON, August 8-Before
azefowd estimated at 1900 people,
Americas defeated Arlington 4 to
8 in a baseball game here yester-
day that was a pitchers battle be-
tween Bloodworth and Haihnan.
Mailman was invincible for six
Innings and it began to appear that
he was going to turn in a perfect
game without letting an Arlington
runner reach first base, as up to
the seventh this had rot happened.
However, in the seventh Arlington
scored two runs on walk and
three consecutive singles. And in
the ninth added one more on walk
and Bob Folmar's triple. Blood
worth gave ten hits but managed
to keep them very well scattered.
Americas scored one run IN the
first inning on a single, a sacrifice
and Jaekson's single. Three more
were added in the seventh on
walk and three singles. The fea-
ture of the game other than the
masterful pitching of Mailman and
! Bloodworth was the fact that both
teams played errorless baseball
Arlington won the second game
by a 3 to 2 score, but as the last
game was an exhibition game, and

Player in swinging the ball from
tee just touches the ball enough to
cause it to roll a few inches from
the tee. Player contends that he has
right to again tee the ball by
taking a one stroke penalty. Is
that correct?
Player is in error. After the ball
has once been driven from the tee
no matter how short a distance, the
ball is in play and cannot be re-
teed.
Player after lifting ball from
casual water re-drops the ball and
in so doing it comes in contact with
his person, causing to be DETECTED
into the casual water from which
it had just been removed. Is there
any penalty to such a happening
and has the player the right to
again re-drop the ball?
There is no penalty because the
ball came into contact with the
player in the act of dropping the
ball. The player has the right to
again lift the ball from the casual
water and redrop it without any
penalty.
Player in driving from the tee
hooks his ball. 1t comes into con-
tact with one of the gallery who
is walking along the edge of the
fairway. The ball, after striking
the spectator, takes an english and
falls back on the fairway for a
rather good lie. Had it not
struck the spectator it would have
gone into the rough. How is such
a happening regarded?
In this. case the break was in
favor of the player, more often it
is against him. The happening is
regarded as a Grub of the green"
and the ball is played from the
spot where it lies. There is no
penalty because it struck one of the
gallery following the match.

Much Of this demand has its origin
in professional sources, but the
horizontal rise In prices over the

tracted many outside buyers.
It is significant that most stocks
have been able to retain their newly

heavy profit-taking. The volume OF

return Of some Of the big trades to

There was no sign Of falterine on
her part, when she returned to the
White House Saturday to pack their
belongings. She walked across the
broad entrance with steady steps t.
greet Miss Laura Harlan, he secre-
tary, who waited her arrived.
She was accompanied by George b.
Christian, secretary Of the late pres
ident, and General Sawyer, who have
been her constant companions since
the death Of Mr.. Harding.

Honse Mrs. Coolidge was waiting.
The two women met in an affection
