Petain's Curiosity Blots
 Out a Pleasant Memory

MENTION, France, Feb. 16.-Mar- shal Petain, as a second lieutenant, 40 years ago, served two years at post near Sospel, on the Italian frontier. Second Lieutenant Petain, whose re- sources were rather slim, took his meals at modest inn kept by young girl of remarkable beauty.
 Recently Marshal Petain, represent ing the French army at the unveiling of a monument to the war dead here, decided to take a trip into the noun tains and visit the scene of his gar rison life as a second lieutenant. The marshal admitted to his aides that he was anxious to see how the former beauty of the inn looked after forty years.
 He found the inn and it's owner had grown considerably larger. Forty years had worked a great contrast, however, in their respective appear ance The inn, refreshed with paint and reconstruction, had become con- siderably younger, while all the paint in the world could not hide the havoc the years had wrought upon it's once fair owner.
 Don't you recollect a second lieu tenant called Petain who frequented your place some 40 years ago." the marshal asked of the old woman at the end of the meal when he saw that she had failed to recognize him.
 "Oh, yes," the landlady replied. Little Petain, why he must be at least a captain by this time.'

Tournament Golf Gets
 Early Start in England

LONDON, Feb. 17-The 1925 tourn- ament season in British golf began almost with the start of the new year, the Oxford and Cambridge Golf ing Society inaugurating it at Rye with their annual competition for the presidents butter. This was won by H. D. Giles, middleaged native of New Zealand, who bowled over both Cyril Tolley and Sir Ernest Holderness on the last day of the competition. Holderness, the anna teur champion, had won the butter on four previous occasions.
 The Oxford and Cambridge Society embraces only eX-students of the two ancient universities, but most Of the amateurs who have attained greatness in Britain are members. This indicates how much golf has remained a "gentleman's game" in England, no matter how safe 1t has been made for democracy. Indeed, every amateur champion since 1919 has been an Oxford man. Storey, the runner-up in the last years cham pionship. is a Cambridge student.
 Thousands of persons who are not gentlemen" in the restricted sense of that term as used in English sport play golf, of course. But few of them, apparently, have the leisure to become brilliant experts.

Miners Organization
 Promises Millions In
 Caring for the Needy

NEW YORK, Feb. 16.-The United Mine Workers of America, announce that despite national prosperity else where they are conducting a relief program on a large scale for mem bers now out of work through strikes and lockouts.
 Union officials say that since last April the relief has amounted to mil lions of dollars, hundreds of thousands of dollars being paid out monthly, to 100000 destitute miners and their families in various strike districts. The O,OOO members of the organiza- tion as a whole, they say, contribute this expenditure, which will be con- tinued until the strikes are won."
 The unemployment affects the bi- luminous coal fields, particularly in West Virginia, Kentucky and Tennes- see. The union dates the trouble from what it terms the failure of mine own CTS there to accept the Jacksonville agreement of December, 1923.
 In other years the basic scale had usually been adopted throughout the industry at large. Mine owners in the present strike areas, however, oppOs- ed the Jacksonville scale as being too high for their high cost workings, and as one which they could not pay, es- pecially when in competition with lower scales paid in other non--union fields. The miners stood upon the basic agreement and fought any cut. The United States Workers organi- zation stands behind their men in the position they have taken to fight any cut. When evictions from company owned houses follow, the union as- sumes the family burden. It finances the fund needed to provide cottages, barracks, or tents for relief camps and colonies scattered among the hills and mountains. It pays mov- ing expenses; supplies food, clothing and fuel; secures medical attention for the sick and approves the bill of the undertaken burying those who die
 The Kanakwa fields in southern West Virginia, which the union cites sa an example of the functioning of it's relief machinery, received SS2,600 in relief funds in December alone The union there bought a tract of sixty lots for $500 and built 120 cottages for S15,000 to provide roofs for some of the 15OO miners families evicted from company property.
 On the Kanawha River according to the union, 150 families wer edispos- sessed the day before Christmas. As they lacked shelter against rain and snow the women and children were housed in a church, the pews being converted into beds.
 On Christmas Day there were 15,OO0 children living in tents or barracks in West Virginia. The union received S5000 from the international officials with which it bought ten tons of candy and nuts, so that the mothers could have some token in the children's stockings
