Dear Aunt Julia and Cousins: This Is
my first attempt to knock for admittance,
but l have been silent admirer of the
cousins page for nearly a year and I dearly
love to read the interesting letters and
Dorothy nixs discussions. Some cousin
recently suggested the idea of the cousins
writing on some certain subject. Ny opinion
is that the letters would be interest
ing If they contain descriptions of the
writer's nome and their different ways Of
living. Another suggestion l would make
is that each cousin send in some favorite
song or poem, to be printed for the benefit
of all, provided our dear Aunt Julia will
spare enough space for few favorite or
generally requested songs. Now, only a
few words of myself. ! am busy young
married mother, with three sweet baby
girls, and as l live in the country and help
my husband the farm. in connection with
household duties, you all may realize that
l do not have very much spare time. Now.
some of you may think friend husband very
eXacting, but my dear, you are mistaken.
We help each other. When l need or re-
quire help in anything, his hands very
willing and when | am sick or in case of
sickness Of the children. when they require
all of my attention, he does not hesitate to
prepare the meals or put out a washing or,
in fact, anything necessary.
Wonder il l have a twin? My birthday
Is March s. Would highly appreciate
Aunt Julia will give me seat over in the
corner by the firesde, and she may rest
assured OF my heartfelt gratitude for her
kindness. Now for q request of some of
our kind cousins. Who will send me some
flower seeds or cuttings OF box-flowers?
do not have much time to devote to such
work, but dearly love flowers, so If you
cousins have sny to spare and care to d.
vide with me, l will appreciate them very
much and II possible. return the favor in
some way. AS [ fear l have already stayed

Julia and say good-by for this time. Will

from a recent book on etiquette.
Goodnight, Mrs. Carr, l must
thank you for perfectly delightful

reply: I'VE were glad to have you,

Maude, of Alabama: Your sugges-

1t would seem that woman who
had been through the arid desert
of such a marriage would save some
other poor girl from such a fate
by raising up her son to be a good
husband. You would think that she
would teach him what a terrible
crime it is to take n woman's life
into his hands and break it; that she
would teach him to be gentle and
tender to his wife; that she would
impress upon MIN that a woman
earns her share of the family in
come, and that it should be given
to her right instead Of being doled
out as aims.

ceedingly great is the difference be-
tween a drive of 275 yards straight
down the fairway and a home run
over the back fence. / submit that
only the golf follower knows-know
ing both-that the golf drive beats
breakfast, as modification of the
current phrase puts it. He knows
that the home run is nothing much
but applied strength, while the long,
straight golf drive is applied skill,
between which there is world of
difference.
1 understand that the golf officials
of the country so far have frowned
on the idea of big purses for golf
competitions. If they continue to
frown upon them l assert that they
are falling behind the times with
golf in the United States. In this
country the public likes to see the
star performer in any sport well re-
warded for his victory. This country
takes no stock in the old theory,
which now has creeping ivy clear up
to it's neck, that the title is sufficient
reward in itself. Moreover, this
in golf which has developed in the
last few years, is just about ready to
hoist golf champions atop pedestal
of public favor the same as 1t does
it's Babe Ruths, it's Benny Leonards
and others.
The golf lovers of this country are
so much in favor of the winners ef
it's national open championship being
paid big, fine purse-a purse in
keeping with the money rewards that
are common with other professional
sports-that it has become a common
thing at these championships for one
to hear rumblingS of protest at the

pion to be able to ada to his personal
fortune through public exhibitions.
What | do protest against is the
prize-fight methods through which the
champion literally is forced to do
this. The very winning of the title in
this era of golf popularity in this
country should be so rich a reward
that the champion could go back to
his club and not be compelled to make
a. single move toward money making
with his title if he didn't choose to
and there is many professional who
would not choose to.
Winning the national open cham
pionShfp, in view of the great popu-
larity of golf in the United States
right now, should be worth $25, 900

willingness to watch the experts play
golf. The attendance at the national
meetings runs well into the thou
sands at 81 each. The golf enthu-
siast no doubt would pay twice as
much, especially If he knew his 81
was to go, in large part, to the golfer
who won the title.
Imagine, also, how intensely in
terest in the play would be focused
If it were known that the contest
was for such a sum. Golf followers
would travel hundreds of miles to
witness the play. And why not!
Surely the golf enthusiast trailing a
pair of players like Kirkwood and
Evans, Jones and Hutchison, Smith
and Walker would get more thrills
for his small admission fee than can
in any other sport we have. Only the
man who plays golf knows how ex-

' ONE of our sectional tourna.

q ONE of our sectional tourna
ments, like the Pacific Coast
championships, the Texas
Journeys and others. and the two
national championships, constitute
the measure OF the ability of this
country at golf, but we never will
know what American golfers really
can do until we have an annual
prize meeting in the nature of the
Glen Eagles title just won by George
Duncan. which rewarded him with
some $4,500 in gold.
This country needs $4,000 annual
golf championship prize, and the sport
needs it badly. l hope next year Will
see this prize offered and nothing
could be better than that, except 10

a tournament this year would glad-
ly contribute to such fund. l. thlnk'
also, that if an amateur should win
such a prize he should be given the
reward in money rather than in plate,
without losing his amateur standing
Any amateur who won such prlze
would not be making money out OF
golf. Rather, he would be demon
strating his ability to play superior
golf, which certainly would be the
purpose of such competition.
In the national amateur champion
ship the winner gets the honor or the
title and that is enough. In the ma
tional open championship the winner
gets the title and $500, and that isn't
enough. The supposition that the II.
tie is worth $4,000, to the winner
puts a dent in the crown right of the
bat. 1t assumes that the winner has
opportunity to 'go TO market with
his title and get out of il whatever
he can. This, l think, has tendency
to rob the title of the dignity with
which it should be associated 1t op-
crates at once to make the winner OF
the title less valuable to his club, IN
stead of more valuable, because,
through the very history of this title
during the last few years. since 1t is
presumed to have become worth so
much to it's holder. the champion is
eyNected to take advantage of sort
of unwritten law IN golf and go get
what he can make >he title yield him
while he has it." This, / maintain, is
utterly contrary to the spirit of golf.
If this isn't commercializing the game,
what is?
The reader will understand that
am no sinon-pure professional who
objects to the national open champion
making what he can out of his crown.
There is logically field for 1egiti-
mate money earning for the holder OF
this valuable title, and l think it is
legitimate and proper for the cham

$500 prize paid the winner. The man
who pays at the gate is beginning to
wonder what is done with his admis-
sion fee. Golf officials probably have
not sensed this attitude on the part
of the galleryite, but the golf fol-
lower at the championships is above
all else sportsman and secretiy--lf
not outspokenly-he wants to see
these athletes fttingly rewarded. In
his view there is only one suitable
reward where thousands of persons
are paying to see the performance,
and that iS a reward in keeping with
terest is expressed in dollars at the
gate.
In any event / am glad to lift my
voice in behalf of a bigger reward
for the winner of these big golf cham
p1onshipS and to urge that we have
at least one annual golf competition
in this country for a big money prize.
l submit that this will bring out the
very best of golf playing, and this in
turn will make those who teach the
game study it's science more and thus
become better teachers. The whole
sport would thrive better with such
an annual prize, but perhaps it's best
service to the country as a whole
would be the great added interest it
would create, in golf. We cannot
have too much interest in golf. The
game has ceased to be the pastime
of an exclusive few. 1t already is
the sport of the masses, and every
effort should be bent to make it
more so.
To this end why couldn't some golf
enthusiast to whom the material
world has been particularly kind do
the world of sport and better health
for all a great service by creating an
endowment fund with which a purse
for a big national golf competition.
Then let golf officials add tO.thiS out
of gate receipts This would do more
than promote golf in this country, for
the prize would attract the star golf
ers of the whole world, and thus the
man who created such prize would
have the satisfaction of knowing that
he effected for the good the sports
loving habits of the principal coun-
tries of the earth, and this one in
particular.
If the officials of golf frowned upon
thisa assuming that the offer came
forward, / think they should gently
but firmly be shown the error of their
ways and at the same time be shown
that golf has ceased to be a diversion
and is now a national sport.
! submit that such a policy would
certainly improve upon the one-eye-
closed theory that the winner of the
national open championship can
make it worth S25,000." Any sports
lover in the land will agree with me,
| am sure, on that.
