One Word Bars Oklahoma
Women From State Slate

OKLAHOMA CITY, Okla, Feb 22
Women political leaders in Okla
homa are praying for legal mir
acle-the only thing apparently that
can make them eligible as candi
dates for the major state offices at
the election in November.
One little word in the state con.
stitution - male stops them from
holding eight of the most import
ant offices: Governor, lieutenant
governor, attorney general secretary
ent of instruction and state examin
er and inspector.
Two futile attempts have been
made to remove the word from the
constitution. The first. referen
DUN vote on an amendment, was be
lieyed for nearly two years to be
successful. The second. popular
petition asking for resubmission OF
the amendment to the voters, failed
for lack of signatures.
Women champions Of the amend
ment have retained an attorney who
is now briefing the case in an at
tempt to learn its status and II
possible to establish its validit,
through judicial channels.

Court, read simply, Guilty as charg
ed in the Indictment"

When Roland Mackenzie, youth
full Columbia Country Club star,
and Bobby Jones do their stuff
in Scotland in the Walker Cup
matches, the Scotties are going
to see two of the greatest stylists
in amateur ranks, Those boys
play golf with the same cubbish-
ness that Pavlowa employs in her
dancing.
Bobby and our own Roland are
among the most graceful and at
the same time longest hitting
amateurs known to. the gener ii
public. Bobby is probably better
known outside Washington, but it
is doubtful if he can consistently
outdrive Roland.
From tee to green they use the
same style of game except that
where Roland would use a driving
iron for distances over 200 and be-
low 275 Bobby might use spoon.
Their approach shots are very sim
liar and they have putting stances
that make the Gold Dust twins
seem like an Eskimo and q Mex
lean.
The time is not so far off when
Roland will seriously challenge
Bobby's right to the crown Of the
King of Amateurs. Jones has
been slipping, so they say i'm
Florida. and Roland is getting
better every day. The sand Is too
thin in the Florida courses, ac-
cOrding to the golfers who have
had a chance to see 1t, and that
may account for Jones' failure i'm
his matches with Walter Hagen.
Mackenzie will be the youngest
member of the Walker cup team
from the United States by several
years. He is only a freshman in
college while the great majority Of
the others are way beyond that age.
Roland is in excellent shape for
his trip to Scotland. His arms and
eye is keen. His mental attitude
is that he is going to do his darned
est. win or lose.

Columbia Country Club. has fixed
his date for sailing on the oath OF
April. The other members of the

ward, and Robinson White will
leave this country on the 9Th of
