AMATEURS TOLD WHY GOOD GOLF
 COSTS MONEY
lRy Associated Pressl

tBy ASSOclated PresSJ
 NASHVILLE, N. C., Feb. 3.-Four hundred million dollars will be spent by American golfers during 1925, ac- cording to a compilation of figures made by Henry Westall, golf enthusi- ast of this city. This immense sum includes the equipment used in play, club houses and the expenses incident to the game. The expenditure for golf balls alone, he estimates at S30,000,- 1 900, while the matter of dues will cost players s100,000,000. The next high est item on the list is golf apparel with S50,000,O00, and leading the eX pense for balls come caddies with the Sum of S40,OO0,OOO.
 The average golfer will probably spend in the neighborhood of S1,000 a l year for his games and incidental ex- lpenses," MT. Westfall said, ''so that the figures prepared would give to- tai of 100000 golfers in the United States. With the development of civ ic links, on which the expense is a very small item, it can hardly be doubted that golfers in America will number half million during the year 1925"
 These figures which have been put | together by experts in all lines con- cerned with golf, are not extravagant, according to MT. Westfall, who quotes the tremendous extension of golf in- terests in the south to prove a sound basis for the calculation.
 Other items in the list are: Golf property, construction, club salaries and golf resort hotels, S25, 5,000,000 for each; club houses, S20,000,O00. Travel expense also is rated at $20000,O0O. Golf clubs follow with a considerable drop to S13,GO0,00O The next drop lis to S5,0O0,OO0, which is claimed by tobaccos, seeds, club furnishings and course equipment. Lockers will cost golfers $3,OOO,OO0 during the year, ac- cordingr to the list, and golf bags and beverages bring up the list to S2,000- 900 each.
 This stamps golf as the American game. In no other form of sport can

be found a half million men and wo- men actively engaged or such large sums individually invested. Plenty of games draw larger audiences, but the number of participants is limited.
 Certainly Scotland can claim golf as her own no longer, and the Royal and Ancient game is now the modern game of all the people.

mot Yet Emerged From Barbarism," /"
Says Georgia Paper

Macon, Ga.-The Macon Telegraph,
leading daily paper Of this city, com
mentng editorially on recent lynch
ings, says:
I'VE have not yet emerged from the
age Of barbarism. Unless there comes
out Of these crimes and all other
crimes in which men take the laws
under which we live into their own
hands, the swift and sure punishment
that should come, we cannot really
claim to be civilized. We have the
veneer Of civilization and the coatinps
Of culture and the luxuries of modern
invention, but if we condone these
crimes against society We have the
primal instincts Of the brute and the

GOVERNOR OF MISSISSIPPI
DENOUNCES MOB
Says officers Should Take Extreme
Measures to Protect. Offers Use
Of State Militia

Jackson, Miss.-"The time has come
when the law-abiding Christian people
Of Mississippi should assert themselves
in no uncertain terms against such
mob action and should rally To the
support Of the peace officers in main
tanning the integrity Of the law" said
Governor Henry Whitfield of Missis-
sippi in a statement issued the day
following the lynching Of J. p. IVY at
New Albany.
Officers charged with the respon-
sibility of protecting criminals should
resort to extreme measures in thwart-
ing mob continued the Governor.
Had the Governor received notice Of
the crime he would have given ample
support to the sheriff in the preven-
tion of 50 horrible crime against the
law. I want every peace officer in the
State Of Mississippi to know that az
long as | am Chief Executive Of the
State every possible help will be ex-
tended to them in the enforcement
Of the law. I shall not hesitate to
send out the militia to vindicate the
laws Of the State and see that these
/ laws are executed. | hope the court
officials will not hesitate to perform
their duties in the case under discus
sion, as well as in like cases that have
occurred or may occur in the State"
Under the Mississippi law the Gov
ernor is powerless to interfere in a
local situation unless state aid i asked
for by the county authorities, nor has
he any power to infict penalties On
county officers who fail in their duty.

.FLEES ACCIDENT
ON THREE WHEELS
Hit-and-Run Autoist Goes
Mile in Lame Car-Jumps
From Hospital Window.

An automobile attempting to escape
after collision with the machine of
Richard Morton of Freedmen's Hos
pital staff, at Eighth street and Barry
place, last night, ran more than a mile
over Washington's streets on three
wheels, with the right rear axle drag
ging, and piled itself up on the side
walk on Q street at Thirteenth when
it capsized in making a turn.
The car was demolished. A man
pulled himself from the debris and P.
E. Morely of 1105 Alabama avenue
southeast, passing motorist, put
him in his machine and rushed him to
Freedmen's Hospital. While awaiting
treatment in the emergency room at
the hospital the operator of the
wrecked automobile, evidently recov-
ering from the shock incident to the
wreck, jumped from the window and
made his escape across the lawn. In
his flight he dropped his pocketbook.
Police of the eighth precinct say
that it contained papers indicating his
identity as Brooks Shaw of 722 Sew
enth street southwest.
Lieut.. Cornwell of the second pre-
cinct said the wrecked car belonged
to Harry S. Chidaket, and that odors
arising from the wreck indicated that
alcoholic liquor had been transported
in the car.

PROPHECY COMES TRUE.
Seismologist Predicted Second Quake
Two Years Ago.

SAN FRANCISCO, May % P).-
Prophecies of seismologists came true
today when an earthquake rocked
southwestern Japan, cabled dispatches
telling of the destruction of the homes
Of 10000 people and the killing of 200
or more.
No foreigners We're reported as
among the casualties.
After the. Toxic Yokohama earth
quake Of nearly two years ago, 1t was
foretold that some time in the near
future a tembler would visit the
southwest. The center of the disturb
ance, however, lodged the populous
district around Osaka, centering in
the Tajima district, so miles to the
northwest.
News dispatches showed that relief
measures were being concentrated on
Toyo-Oka, a little town of 100 in the
Tajima district. 1t was stated that
the railroad to the coast and on to
Tottori. the nearest large town, had
been reopened, after the caving-in of
a tunnel between Kinosuki and Takeno
had blocked the rail exit to the Japan
Sea. Water transportation was still
available, however. Cables failed to
state whether the rail line between
Toyo-Oka and Kyoto, a run of SO
miles, was in order.

NEW TRAFFIC CODE
HEADLIGHT RULES
FOUND A MENACE
Immediate Revision Planned
to Ban GIaring Rays and
Make Night Driving Safe.
BY THEODORE p. MOVES.

Drastic changes in the new District
of Columbia headlight law will be
made within the next few days by
Director of Traffic Eldridge, it was
learned from an authoritative source
last night. These changes. which are
made necessary by the epidemic of
binding lights in all parts Of the city,
will not involve those sections of the
law relating to focus and adjustment,
but will clarity the instructions to
motorists in the use of their dim and
bright lights.
Designed to cure one evil, that of
insufficient illumination on poorly
lighted streets, the new regulation, in
the opinion of District traffic authori-
ties, has plunged Washington into an
evil of an entirely different sort-too
much light, and badly regulated light
where it is not needed.
The law as now constructed makes
provision for the proper focusing and
adjustment of headlights to conform
with the model regulation in the East.
ern States, but to take care of Wash.
ington's own problem-dinly lighted
streets-clauses were added which in
structed the motorist to use his bright
lights whenever he was unable to dis
Germ an object the size of a small
child 200 feet in advance of his car.
This clause, District traffic authori.
ties feel, has been taken altogether too
literally by the majority of motorists 8
who, taking advantage of the inabil-
ity of the police to enforce immedi-
ately the provisions Of the law, have
been not only using their headlights
on side streets and in the suburbs but
downtown on the brightly lighted
streets as well.
This practice has created such a
dangerous situation that remedial
measures are necessary. 1t was
hoped by Director Eldridge and his
assistants that when the new law
went into effect motorists would
realize that by following out the
'common-sense" plan of using prop
erly adjusted bright lights in the
suburbs and on poorly lighted thor
oughfares improvement would result
Immediately. but the indiscriminate
use of both properly adjusted and
badly adjusted headlights in the
downtown section has changed the
entire complexion of the problem and
the traffic authorities now feel that
something must be done to clear up
the night driving situation.
Two plans are being considered.
