Linen Sport Cans
\ AMERICANS are proverbially for nf h0nnriUu q n,1afof,, r,rora i,, q

4 AMERICANS are proyerbially fond A of honoring custom more in the
 breach than in the observance. A young and high-mettled nation; we like to kick over the traces with coltish abandon. That is why the sporting styles in this country do not slavishly follow foreign models. In a way this is perfectly natural. Lacking the damp climate of the British Isles, we do not need to wear the thick, heavy clothes to which the Englishman is addicted. He is accustomed to wool and nothing else will serve. He would not think of round of golf without wearing his coat, nor of putting on the light golf stock ings and transparent knitted jackets that we insist upon for sheer creature comfort when the sun grills.
 The vogue of linen knickers is wholly American. and though it shows signs of waning, thousands of golfers will cling to linen. even if it clinss to them. be- cause they find it cool and comfort able. To accompany linen knickers the designers have brought out linen caps, as sketched alongside. for another char acteristically American habit is that of matching the material of one article of dress with that of another

 The local organization went on record as favoring bill for better protection of sheep from dogs.
