Europe has some more fistic

voice of the dollar is not confined

Lucien Vinez, the lightweight

Kid Francis, who took the fly

come to our bifoca!e1 attention
and Immediately after the New
Year we hope to read it from
cover to cover and later print
an exhaustive review.
Probably no novel intended for
mere reading or eventual dra-
matization was eve. so replete
with characters as this book.
1t contains millionaire club
men and poor little shop girls;
rich old misers and miserable
little spendthrifts. Every type
in the human gamut is brought
into this story, probably the
only best seller embracing so
many walks of life.
The standard works of Shake
speare, Dickens, Longfellow and
Whittier were representative of
their times, alright, but they
never worked any bootleggers,
garage keepers, or balloon ham
gar proprietors into the themes
Of their yarns.
In those days it was the vii
lage blacksmith, the inn keeper,
the tinkerer, bootblack and the
community idiot. But here is a
pamphlet which tells of all those
town liabilities besides the bar
Der, battery repairman, cash
register salesman and lnimeo-
graph expert.
So if you really wish to study
human nature, learn what people
do with their time, how they exc
livelihood and their method Of
abode you can encompass it all
in this volume which escapes
no phase of modern emotion or
human endeavor.
For real thriller, nothing
for sale on the news stand can
compare with this masterpiece
of first, last and middle names,
street addresses and, in posi-
lively every case, telephone num-
bers.

THAT SAND TRAP PENALTY.

There is penalty Of one
stroke attached to the careless
habit Of touching the sand on
the back swing when playing
out Of q sand trap. This seems
like q foolish penalty, but it is
very necessary. If golfers were
permitted to touch the sand they
could quite accidentally or with
malice laforethought scrape away
a sand mound and thereby I'M
prove the lie of the ball.
If one even drops his club in
the trap, whether he does it
accidentally or ON purpose, he
The Washington times., 1924-12-20

must pay the penalty. Many
golfers have claimed hole
from their opponents when their
caddie walks into trap. AS
matter of fact, there is nothing
in the rule to prevent this.
Every golf club frowns on such
habits Of the caddie as it marks
up the trap with unnecessary
footprints, but it is e rule Of
etiquette, not a rule of the
game that is being infringed
upon when the caddie walks
through q trap.
