They magnify most of my hits,

Nevertheless, l want to set some
of my friends right. They have
been doing a lot of worrying about
me. I've been getting lot OF
letters from kids who say they're

worrying, and I'm not doing any

In spite Of the fact that 80
many men play golf for the
friends they may make, there are
others who find i'm il only an adj

making enemies. Without doubt
there are many men who should
not join any sort Of q club. for
they are not clubabIe by nature.
and they are not willing to
achieve the cIubabIe virtues.
The majority seem to have strong
likes and dislikes and as q re.
suit there are sometimes cliQues
in golf clubs that frequently prove
disastrous to the organizations. II
is often particularly hard for tie
officers of club to be on friendly
terms with the whole membership.
One reason I favor a 1ine-hole
course Is that with the limited
membership one finds more Of the

Edinburgh, has presented to the
Scotch nation the venerable library
founded by Charles III and which con-
tains through various bequests the
most valuable manuscript sources of
the national history and also an in

accessible TO the public as well as to

the bull of Pope John XIII authoriz-

Robert Bruce and his defendants as
rtghtful kings of Scotland are framed
and strongly protected under glass.
Besides these rare manuscripts, there
are 10000 volumes In the gift be-

music, some ancient maps and Illus

wiped off the face of the land. Some

now seen except those about the

reserved as part of the historic aspect

''JuDCE" DICTIONARY

New Words Are Defined In Work
Offered Readers Of This Paper

In case Of doubt concerning the
meaning Of word. the dictionary. is
the court of appeal to which the
average individuaImu resort. When
DIR. Johnson compiled his celebrated
dictionary, offered to the public in
l755. 1t represented a movement
Initiated by Swift. Addison, Pope and
other noted English writer's Of that
period to compose a dictionary that
would fix forever and unalterably
the English language in one perfect
form. But the lapse Of years has
demonstrated that fashions in words
change with the times and that a die
tionary to be authoritative and accu-
rate must be up to date.
A popular demand for such a work
has been answered by the offer this
paper is making to its readers of The
New Universities Dictionary in which
thousands Of words not found in any
other dictionary are fully defined.
Many Of these words have been
brought into general and proper use
by the great strides made in science,
business, religion and the various
arts. Specialized activities. such as
aviation, golf, baseball and other
forms Of sports have also given cur
rency to many new terms and defini-
tons Of which will be found in one

New Fish and Game
Laws Book Ready
When Laws Effective

The Department of Inland Fisher
les and Game is receiving many re-
quests for copies of the new fish and
game laws. In order that the public
may understand the situation with
reference to fish and game laws. the
following statement is made. None
of the fish and game laws passed by
the Legislature, now in session, Will
become effective, unless passed I'M
der an emergency clause, until three
months after adjournment of the
Legislature; consequently the general
laws which appear IN the 1921-22
hand book of laws published by the
department after adjournment of the
Legislature Of 1921, together with
regulations which have been pro-
mulgated by the commissioners in the
several cOunties-upon petition, and
after hearing-since the law book
was issued, will remain in force I'M
til the new laws become effective. 1t
is the intention of the department to
have the new revised hand book of
laws ready for distribution by the
time the amendments now pending
take effect.
For spring fishing consult your
1922 law book and local regula-
lions of the commissioner promul-
gated since that book was issued.

Thrills a Perty in ".The Last Hour"

The Last Hour" which comes TO
the Opera House, today, answers this
question in the only way it can be an
SWered. 1t contains several thrills
which are hair-raisers according to
advance reports. However, critics
have been unanimous in according to
The Last Hour" the most logical
continuity of any picture these last
several years. The thrills are a nee
essary part of the story-to leave
them out would be TO destroy the
story itself.
The Last Hour" comes from 4

time ago it appeared in Munsey's
