"Ouimet Day" Held
In His Honor At
Woodland

The Woodland Golf Club re-
Gently paid a wonderful tribute
to Francis Ouimet for his
showing in the British amateur
championship and his winning
of the st. Georges vase. It
took the form of a "Ouiment
day" at the club to which he
and Jesse Guilford have
brought such honors. What
made that occasion so impress
sive and so unusual was that
the entire keynote of the af-
fair was not tribute to
Ouimet the golfer so much as
it was to Ouimet the man.

Ann was his sister, Mrs. Dick Lam

one Of the children or family pet?
AS Anthony drove his car TO the
railroad station he amused himself
with recalling stories where the hero
set out to meet some commonplace boy
only to find that a mistake had been
made and he was actually meeting q
charming girl.
Now, this Rex person may be oil

Nevertheless his pulse did quicken as
he stood at the train gate watching

person or went sedately about. their

What Becomes Of Pins.

IT has been stated on what Is sup

worlds total output of pins is at the
rate of 20O,0Q0O00 day. If so, 1t may
seem surprising that the world isn't
becoming carpeted with pins. We
know how easily they are lost--where
do they 30 to? Most of them decay
into nothingness, for actually, the pin
is not such a : tlme-defying article as
it seems. Every pin dropped in a
damp place soon turns into few
grains of rust. With new pins turned
out by machinery in such immense
numbers our grandmothers' maxlms
about picking up pins are forgotten,
but in the Fourteenth century. when
pins were first introduced, they were
valuable articles not to be lightly
lost. recalls Everyday Science An
old law permitted the sale OF pins on
only two days in the year, the first
and second Of January. 1t was then
the custom of all the womenfolk to
buy their pins for the following IL
months. AS is still customary they

for Ann Lambert's birthday gift opened
the way to the explanations that were
necessary.

well as your own, Mr.. Ware, and so

he drew it forth and moved it up
