OCKENDEN SUGGESTS
BAN ON ROUGH CLUB
Says Game Can Be Saved
Only by Such Action.

James Ockenden, the British golfer
who is touring the country IN com
pany with Arthur Havers, the British
open champion, believes that if golf
is to be saved from vandalism there
must be no artificial aids to the game
permitted with regard to clubs
Most professionals think there is
Only one solution of the difficulty and
that is TO make the faces of an irons
smooth and plain" said Ockenden re-
Gently. This would, | am afraid
mean the scrapping Of most Of the
clubs in use at the present time, but
the position might be eaSed If it were
decided that this new rule should not
come into operation until. say 1928.
II this were done there would he n
gradual rather than nm immediate dis
oa-&idg Of irons with patterns on the
faces. These patterns are of course.
innocent Of purpose, hut the trouble
is to prevent their eXaggeration as
has been done in the case III the
punched club.
An alternative proposal is that
only the smooth face should be sane
toned in the championship This
would be equally effective n course
Of time On the other hand the husi-
ness of the ruling golf committee
is TO legislate for the game as a Whole
and not for any section OF it, The
interests Of the IS handicap men are
Just as worthy Of consideration as
those Of the scratch player or others
who take part in the championships.

ON FIRST MEETING DICKENS

There came a time when we had finished with Robinson Crusoe,' Swiss Family Robinson and Treasure 1sland;" with ''Tom Sawyer 'IIuckleberry Finn Scot tish Chiefs" and those other volumes on which our youthful fancy was fed until we began to demand more solid fare. Then it was that we heard so much talk of Dickens Perhaps some of our friends had already become acquainted with him, or our parents in their wisdom, suggested that we try well-thumbed volNme of David Copperfield," or Oliver Twist, that had been in the house before we were born, and may have belonged to our grandparents. In any event. the copies were large, not too well printed and clumsy for little chap to hold. In those days linen paper which makes it possible to print thousand pages for book of p0cket size, or publish all of Shakespeare's works in vol uDle no larger than the average Testament, was unknown or not in general use. Neither was the printing of the so-called popular liter ature as good as it is today.
 Howtver it came to pass. we gradually learned to know Dickens At first, it must be confessed, we wondered at his prolixity and were disposed to skip more than one page of small type, vet we found his characters growing upon us. For while we missed great deal of his humor much of his irony anu anu lIAe SHuueS OI HIS char aeter drawing, an art ill which he has been surpassed by no other writer, not even by ThackeraS, Bazac or Hugo each Titan
 in his field. We have a hay recollection of having smiled at the stodgy figure of Mir. Pickwick and the elongated Sam Weller : quaint. too, seemed the attire of these and other characters in the "Pickwick Papers, '' that great storehouse of what is best and cleanest. in English hunlOr. The illustrations, we thought, though done by Cruikshank and others. were far less interesting, even then. than the text They did not always fit in with our own conception of the kind of peo- pie Dickens wrote about. This was not to be wondered at, however. Rarely does all artist. even the artist-author who illustrates his own works. succeed in conveying to a reader with his pencil or brush the same i'm. pressipn of character that is formed in the readers mind by following the adventures of the character through several hundred pages of print.
 Whether it was Mir. Pickwick and Sam Weller. David Copperfield, Oliver Twist ol others among Dickens immortal types whc taught us to admire and later to love him the thing was done. We joined that great company of readers young and old. to whom Dickens is q source of entertainment and con sOlation through many years. We discovered

A Scratch -My.Baek" Policy

To the Editor of The Age-Herald:
 am sure that the taxpayers of the state will greatly appreciate your editorial in to- days Age-IIeruld relative to the highway situation and various actions of the state highway commission. Unless this commis- sion change their tactics and stop their you scratch my back and I'll scratch yOurs"-you help me to get road by my farm and I'll help you get one by yours-the citizenship will lose what little confidence they have in them; and rightfully so. To say the least of it, their hearing of yesterday and the day before brings out some very suspicious look ing things; and especially so when they try to make detour in tie Birmingham to Mo bile highway in order to pass through Selma, and by particular farm. when the main idea is the shortest route to Mobile Why not build q road from Selma to the highway and let the main highway go its original pro posed route; which is the one hest route to Mobile?
 Only for the publicity The Age-HeraId is giving the highway situation, the citizenship of the state would surely be helpless and the people as q whole am sure will appreciate

PUBLIC DEMANDS CLEAN.Up

The further proceeds the Teapot Dome scandal, the more the American people, ire spective of party affiliations or Sympathies, are convinced that there has been breach of trust and more or less corruption within high official circles of the government. The mys- terious codes, apparently improperly obtained from the department of justice and illegally employed in the conveyance of secret informa- tion between private citizens and govern ment officials as set forth in Saturdays Age-Herald. are yet to be cleared up. When they are, the probabilities are that they will show not only more or less shocking use of official authority, but attempts to carry out actual conspiracy against the government for unworthy private ends. This is one of the many causes of suspicion and weakening of the public confidence There will doubtless be others.
 To say that the public is suspicious is put ting it mildly. The public faith has been perceptibly shaken in the Republican party within which this national scandal has de- velopcd. There is q very strong public de- mand not only that the whole ugly business may he laid bare. but that those who were guilty of official wrong-doing shall be prop erly punished If thia is not done. the in- vestigaton will have been useless. What is needed is complete cleaning up of the sit uation in such way aa to serve as a warn

ington. Washipgtona warned his people against participating in European quarrels, but surely he would have been the last to say that we should not participate in the human izing influences of the world.
 While approving of the national homage to the memory of Washington, yet the. Chicago Daily News believes that better than wor. ship or idolization is sincere imitation. It is given to few to be equal to all critical occasions, to achieve everlasting fame and deserve it, but it is possible for all normal persons to live up to the dictates of con- science, to practice the simple and elementary virtues and do what duty and common sense require. To admire Washington sincerely is to admire unselfshness, rectitude, nobility, courage, perseverance and faith. And prop erly to admire these attributes is to endeaeor to cultivate them."
 Although the cherry-tree story is now properly discounted. yet there is no denial that it was founded on an intimate knowl- edge of Washington's scorn of evasion and ingtons integrity, the Washington Star ob- serves: "If the spirit of George Washing ton, the great exemplar of truthfulness could animate the evidence in the oil scandal in vestigation, how much less difficult it would be to evolve the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth. Oh, for a George Washington hatchet for the hquiry's sym bol."
 The occasion of all this Outburst of edito- rial eulogy of Washington was of course the anniversary of. his birth on February 9, but never did that date come at a time when thoughts of George Washington possessed a more clarifying virtue in respect to public af- fairs and honorable official conduct.

with each reading of the now familiar vol tunes, something we had not seen before--a bit of bumor, perhaps, a delicate shading of character, a flash of grim irony or the kind of burlesdue of manners at which Dickens excelled. It was like meeting face to face with some old friend to encounter once more in his pages the men, women and children, but chiefly the men and women whom we knew almost as well as if they had lived next door to us for years. s...
 The less said of the Dickens heroines the better, and some of his heroes develop prig. gish qualities with which we would gladly dispense, but Pickwick and Sam Weller, Sidney Carton, Mir. Dombey, the Peggottys, Lady Dedlock, Sir Leicester Dedlock, Jo, the crossing sweeper, Mir. Inspector Bucket, the Smallweeds the Vardens, Barnaby Rudge, Sir John Chester, Fagin, Bill Sikes and Nancy, MT. Pecksniff. Uriah Heep, Mir. Mi cawber, the Crummleses Ralph Nickleby, the Chuzzlewits, Sairey Camp and a host of others are stamped indelibly on our memory. The characters mentioned are merely those that are visualiEed on, the spur of the mo ment. They are but part of that imperish- able company created by Dickens, a company that will live as long as English literature lives, to delight and inspire generations yet unborn. sa<f ' <
 Say what you will that man or woman who fails to meet with Dickens in early life and hold fast to him in after years has missed much of the pleasure that comes from read ing. t'.

State Senator RandaIrs Views

To the Editor of The Age-Herald:
 As a citizen of Alabama I wish to thank you for the splendid editorial in this morn ing's AgeHerald- Highway Commission Falters.' Personally I wish to thank you for the notice you gave me in my effort on yesterday at Montgomery in behalf of the Birmingham-AlObile airline trunk line. This project of detOuring the Birmingham Mobile (tO the port) highway around by Selma not only flagrantly violates and throws to the winds the seven per cent" system idea, but burdens the traffic of generations to come with an additional 25 miles, and which carries with it. considering the construction of two river bridges. of possibly us much as $500,00O. and one could add to this the use less maintenance of this extra mileage worn Birmingham district that Selma does not concern and does not care to be forced to take this circuitous and extra expensive route to get to the port
 l requested in fairness and justice to Mir Suttle that he ask to he excused from sitting on this case. considering the fact that this road goes by his home. or rather this pro- posed detour. with its extra burden of mile age and cost to the state HOW and to future traffic. l would like for this commission to be pointed to the Roosevelt highway through New York, where you have now a two-day automobile trip from New York to Chicago, and see spurs turned off of this main highway with posters pointing this way to Rochester" and this way to Buffalo" and this wa to Thousand Islands" but the trunk line goes on with never a detOur to cities away up in the hundred thousands in population Let's all join in patriotic re- solve to see that Alabama's best interests are

ing to others who may be tempted to go wrong in the public service. F
 Abortive efforts to shift part of the blame to the Democratic party have fooled nobody. The people know where the blame lies, and they expect protection to the public interests from the future scandals and losses of the kind, regardless of what effect disclosures and legal action may have on individuals or organizations political fortunes.
 It is encouraging to note the grand jury indictments returned against Charles R. Forbes, former director of the Veterans Bu- reau, and several alleged fellow, conspirators are charged with shocking corruption to de. fraud the government for private gain. The worst feature of the ugly disclosures in con nection with the direction of this department is that the wholesale graft and robbery employed operated directly against the well fare of wounded and sick men who offered themselves to supreme dangers for their country's defense. The American people have been shocked beyond description at the horrid revelations in connection with, the Veterans Bureau. It is sordid story of greed which calls for the severest penalties within the law for the guilty. rse-,
