TWO LOCAL LADS
SURVIVE IN GOLF
MEET At CULVER
Small Field Cut to Eight in
Junior Tourney on First
Day,
By Times Special

BIZ Times Special
CULVER, Ind, Aug. 20.-A small
field Of thirty in the first State junior
golf tourney was cut to eight in the
championship fight Tuesday at the
Culver Military Academy course and
today was to see more of the youth
full golfers fall by the wayside. The
schedule called for two rounds Of
match play at eighteen holes each.
The scarcity of entrants changed
the plans somewhat. One reason for
so few playing was the drastic rul-
ing that caddies could not compete.
A number Of Indianapolis young
sters who appeared for the tourney
had to go home again without swing
ing their clubs. The ruling was
made by Secretary Mossler Of the
Indiana Golf Association, under
whose juridiction the meet Is being
held.
Caddie Ruling
The ruling is not in accord with
the Western Association regulations
which permit caddies under 16 to
compete as amateurs.
The eight left in the champion
ship flight include two Indianapo-
lis boys, II. Wheeler and Wallace
Wiley. Others remaining were
Bruce Buckley, Culver; B. Gerard,
Charlottesville; Jack Wise, Logans-
port; John Lehman, Gary; G. Har.
wood. Richmond, and Ed Flanagan,
Crawfordsville.
Two consolation events are to be
played The fourteen who failed to
qualify will fight it out in the ON
GERS Club flight and the eight elm
mated in the first round of the
championship will play in what is
termed the Culver flight.

MR.. AND MRS. NICK

EvBRYONE who visited Nick and
- Mrs. Nick came away convinced
that their home was wonderful or
ganization-their household ran on
creased wheels. 1T is better run than
anything I've ever seen," each guest
would agree, "but-'
Then Dick suddenly turned up from
the West. Dick and Nick had not seen
each other since their bachelor days
wears before when they worked from
sunrise to sunset and rested from
sunset to sunrise
Dick Just telephoned from the sta
ton that he was in town; Mrs. Nick
said that, If he'd only written ahead
that he would come, they would have
been prepared for him more formally
than he would find them now. For
mality ives the last thing Dick wanted
from Nick's wife, as he explained,
starting to carry his valise upstairs.
Nick, who knew his wife pretty we'll,
gently but firmly set the big bag on
the floor and said with laugh that
discipline must be preserved. Then he
and Dick mounted to Dicks room for
an old-time talk. They were just well
! under way when Nick jumped up, say
ing that they would be late for dinner
there was exactly ten minutes to
dress.
At the table they decided on re-
union of all the old crowd within hail
ing distance. Monday they would have
stag party. But, mot Monday put
in Mrs. Nick gently. Mrs. Nick was
"at home' Monday afternoon, and she
always planned not to have guests
Monday night.
Half an hour later they were COM
fortably seated round a blazing fire.
Dick had his hand in his pocket on his
cigarette case when Nick said, Sorry,
old man, can't ask you to smoke in
here-we keep the little room at the
end of the hall for smoking"
Then Mrs. Nick had an emergency
schedule to present-not, she repeated,
what his entertainment would have
been had he written ahead" of his
coming. And Dick settled down to the

LUCKY-BUGS


TIME lucky-bug superstition is large
i ". but not entirely, confined to
children. Have you not, as a child,
sought to catch in your hand one OF
those little, black water-beetles which
go gyrating about upon the surface
of still pools or the calm backwaters
of brooks and rivers? Most children
have and most children do to this day;
while it is not unusual to see grown
nm" engaged in the same diversion. In
some sections they say that the catch
ing of a lucky-bug brings good fortune
and in other sections you are advised
TO bury the captured beetle and make
q wish. when you will assuredly get
vour wish" In some places this little
watef-beetle is called the dollar bug"
and the superstition is that you will
GET dollar for every one you catch.
Rut generally their capture simply
means good luck.
The lucky-bug gets his magic powers
principally from the fact that he is
heetle-a sort of scarab; the mystic
virtues and powers of the scarab
.omong the ancient Egyptians are well
known. The beetle was sacred; 1t
tvnifed the self-created gods, the ris-
ING sun. Immortality and the resurrec-
zion. Beetles of metal or stone were
porn by the Egyptians living and
placed upon their dead mummies as

THE "PAINLESS BRIDGE"
TEACHER

THE trump card" for any bridge
= teacher is an even temper; and
her longest suit" is science.
So says young woman who is
reaping riches, in small way, teach
ing the people of her own town how
to play painless bridge"
Bridge is a scientific game" she
told me one day when / dropped in
at her home with friend, who is one
of her bridge guests; land the only
certain way four people who may be
strangers can play tremendously Is
for each of them to observe the con-
ventions'
This means that the teacher must,
above all, insist on scientific plays,
she went on to explain, If her pupils
are to hold their own outside of
"Main Street She must NOT let
them "play by ear And to accom-
plish this end is, she admitted, often
a severe trial to tongue and temper.
The small-town girl who decides
that she is qualified for this rather
unique work, will, If successful, have
a well-paying business because bridge
playing is a definite, and seemingly
permanent social asset. The small
town woman wants to play the game
with sufficient skill that she can COM
pete successfully when she is the
guest Of friend in nearby city.
The girl who selects this work will
probably have played cards most of
her life, and be known as "shark."
The reputation will help her business,
and, it is true that she must be an
expert on the technicalities or fine
points of the game. Even so, how
ever, she should consult the most re-
cent books of the recognized Dridge
authorities, and she should always
teach the game according to the latest
rulings procurable And then, she
must know something about the
psychology OF teaching methods, refer
ence books, If she needs them, will
help her here, too.
These pupils will be the especially
difficult ones for whom the amateur
teacher must be on the lookout: the
man who wants to play gamblers
game instead of a scientists game;
the woman who wants to play bridge
like game of tiddle-de-winks, with
conversation about babies and cook
ing thrown in; and the person of
either sex who knows, as he says a
"smattering'' of the game, who has
"just picked it up
Insistence on science, coupled with
social training and diplomacy are the
virtues of the teacher which will make
her students vexless-and victorious
bridge players

NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.
URSULA

TIME ancient Romans were appar-
- emily fond of wolves and bears at
least, many of the masculine and femi-
nine names originating from them,
were derived from their terms for ami
mails. One of these is Ursula, which
comes from the Roman ursus, meaning
bear.
UrsuS, as proper name was popu-
lar in early times among semi-Romans
and Gallo bishops. But 1t was per-
haps some allusion to the pole-star
which made Ursula, (little bear) fur
nish the name of the heroine Of the
curious legend of Cologne, that the
Breton maiden, who, on her way to
her betrothed British husband, was
shipwrecked on the German coast and
slain by Attila king Of the Huns, with
1900 virgin companions. The skulls
of the maidens are shown at Cologne,
and their princess name has been fol-
lowed by noble ladies'.
The Irish word mahon also signifies
bear and hence some of the MacMa-
hons of Ireland have turned them
selves into F'itz Ursulas. The popular
ity of the name has spread into all the
countries of Europe and has been
copied to some degree in America,
though most of our Ursulas are of for
eign extraction. The English have. two
other charming forms beside Ursula ];
they are Ursel and Ursley. France
favors Ursule and many religieuse
has borne the name of Sister Ursule.
Spain adopted the form of Ursola,
while Portugal accepts the English
version of Ursula. Italy follows Spain
with Ursola. The unmistakable leu
tonic Interpretation is Uriel or
Urschael. Urssala comes to us from
the Russian and the Dutch have pc
culiarly musical Orseline.
Ursula's talismanic gem is the topaz
This beautiful amber stone is said to
shine like the sun in the dark mines
where it is found and the ancients be-
lieve that certain rays of the sun are
imprisoned in the stone. For that rea-
son it has the beneficial effects of sun
light on it's wearer and dispels evils
and danger as the sun drives away the
terrors of the night. But it must be
set in gold to be effective. Tuesday is
