Scotland Made Game of
Golf National Pastin1e

Three months before the Pilgrim Fa-
theirs left Deftshaven James vi ap-
proved the contract for the first mu-
nicipal golf links ut st. Andrews, Scot
land. Golf may have started In Hol-
land, where game called "kolf," a
cross between golf, hockey and bowl
ing, was played on the Ice, within COW
cred courts and even in churchyards
If the Scotch did import the sport they
changed 1t greatly. Links" for exam
pie is the Scotch term referring to
rolling close-cropped shore fields which
have become the model for all golf
courses. "Bunkers" are really cut
banks such as are found along a
graded country road. Such banks with
sand pits are natural to the Scotch
shore. st. Andrews cut banks are now
artiflcially created on golf links wher-
ever golf Is played. For many years
the original Scotch course consisted Of
II holes, a match being two rounds, or
% holes, but In 1784 II was decided to
eliminate two holes, so today the
standard course is in multiples of nine.

Timidity Has No Place
Among Arabs of Desert

Bravery is the great outstanding
characteristic Of the Arab. His juds-
ment Of what constitutes cowardice Is
relentless and terrible. As soon as a
man Is proved coward the tribal
poet laureate makes song about him
magnlfylng his fault and rldlculin Z
him. II the victim Is unmarried no
woman will consider him, us the song
of his cOwardlce endures forever In
the tribe If he Is already married his
wife or wives are permitted by tribal
law mot by Mohammedanlsm) to re-
turn to their fathers. The men, too.
cease to associate with the coward
and he becomes an outcast and u
par!ah. To no other tribe can he turn
for shelter. and almost invariably sui
eide Is his lot.
Above everything the Arab must
prove bravery In the eyes Of his wonl-
en- folk. An Arab mans arms are In
varlably covered with circular scars.
These are relies Of his childhood and
nre the result of his proving his worthl-
ness to some childhood sweetheart, his
method being to stand In front OF the
object Of his alteration and SMILE the
while he allows pieces Of red-hot char.
