Spokane Golf Links Is
Unique For Its Terrain

SPOKANE, March z7.-For variety
of terrain, scenery and playing con-
ditions, probably 10 golf club in the
United States surpasses the links of
the Spokane Country club.
There are mountainous back
grounds, plains, plateau, gulches,
precipitous bluffs, forrested hillsides,
rocky crevasses, arroyoes, lake
spring that forms a pool in the
seventeenth fairway.
The golfer is presented during the
round of the links with long shots
down hill to the river at the foot Of
a mountain; perilous brassie shots
across an arroyo that deploys wide
stretch of the most shifting sand;
long upgrade three shot holes; iron
pitches across narrow gorges;
mashie shot almost perpendicularly
to green in a mountain defile; a
spectacular drive from the top Of a
towering bluff to the piney plain
far below, a drive from ponder
Gus rock tee, and other sorts of
golfing.
The going is difficult with it's noun
tain climbing at times, but the cry
staI springs that gurgle here and
there pour forth water that is re-
juvenating.
From the club house, nestled
among pines in the center of the
club grounds, the first two holes
run down a moderate grade to a
river curling around the base of a
mountain peak. The third retraces
the ground to green staked off by
conifers that measure a dozen feet
around the trunks. Then over the
dry creek bed to a valley and back
and down again.
After short hole, whose green is
on the verge of a burn, the player
shoots up grade for more than 500
yards to a spot set like a stage
among the tall frs. Then the tee
of the ninth hole forms the stage
for the golfer, as he Chambers up
series of steps to a niche on the
mountain side with trees all around,
except in front. Thence he must
shoot $50 yards across ravine with
almost perpendicular sides to an
other woodbound green.
At the start of the second half
comes short hole that probably
has the steepest fairway in the
world The distance from tee to pin
is only 143 yards. 1t looks shorter
and seems much longer in play, for
the way is through a rocky crevasse
with the green appearing to he al
most straight above the tee. The
sides of the glen rise fifty feet above
the bottom of the ravine. Played as
it looks, the ball will fall far short
of the carpet, and the ordinary
golfer must take a good swat with
mid-iron or spoon to get home
| owing to the fact that the ball IS
intercepted at the top of it's tra-
| jectory.
The next four holes on a plateau
would be dull, except for forrested
gulches which must be avoided ano

FLIMSY CARRIED YOUTHS
HATNTt TOKYO STREE


TOKYO. March 23-Touths clad in
little more than pleasant smiles are
10 he seen running through the
streets of Tokyo and other japanese
cities. They are a source OF amuse-
ment to visiting foreigners.
But there is a reason. They are
apprentices and young workmen prac-
.icing the "mizugori," or age-olo
water publication rites in Fudo
temples to improve, through the grace
of that particular god, their 9rafts-
manship.
,rheir costumes look like abbreviat-
ed Ku KIux Khan robes, without the
mask. They are only white cotton
cloths, loosely thrown about cold
hardened bodies, and otner smaller
cloths wound around the head COT
ton cloth shoes are worn but legs
are bare.
AS they run through the Streets
usually in groups, the youths carry
Japanese lanterns and tinkling bells
herald their approach and they chant
"Rokkon Shojo," a prayer in which
they ask to be cleansed of the SIX
roots of evil.
Sometimes there are WoH1oh S'AAiO9
them. Years ago the apprentices
wore nothing except loin cloths. The
flimsy cotton garh worn now is not
for warmth but to comply with ponce
regulations.
These religious pilgrims start from
their homes shortly after dinner. They
meet in appointed places and then
begin their marathon to- the nearest
Fudo temple. AS they run they keep
their minds on their rites and they
indulge in no boyish caprices. They
chant increasingly. :.
When the runners reach the temple
they assemble at the well in the tenn
ple compound. Here they cast aside
their single cloths and pour cola
water over themselves from the tops
of their heads. Then they otter
prayer to Fudo. Hot amasake, a
sweet, non-alcoholic drink made from
rice, is served to the pilgrims by the
temple authorities and the homeWard
trip is begun, with the same chanting
and tingling of bells.
Even if their prayers are not an
swered, the followers of Fudo be-
Iieve, their scantily clad exercises
give them endurance, hardness ana
healthy circulation of the blood. Wlnd'
rain and snow do not interfere with
the practicing of the rites and teW
of these devout believers suffer any
illness from exposure.

over the death of Prince Albert and
her refusal to have anything to do
with public ceremonies, for many
years she found time to go into
official mahters very thoroughly and

should wear their whiskers.
In June, 1869, orders were issued
at her command that naval men were
not to wear moustaches unless they

REPRODUCTION
OF OLD PLAY
HOUSE, PLAN
(By Dispatch a. P. Wirel


LONDON, March PA movement
has been launched and is gaining rap
idly to build a reproduction of the
ancient Globe theatre, the Elizabethan
playhouse on the Thames, in which
many of shakespeare's plays were
first produced, to reproduce the
Shakespeare Memorial theatre at
stratford- n-Avon, recently destroyed
by fire.
Few tears over, The loss of the old
theatre at Stra-ssed were shed by
lovers of architecture and the classic
drama. 1t was a gift from a STRAIT
ford brewer half a century ago and
was Victorian architecture at it's
most typical stage. The seating ca
pacity was limited and the stage
cramped.
However, it was beautifully situated
in the meadows on the banks of the
Avon and each year thousands Of
Americans climbed the high tower of
the building to view the winding
river and overlook the little church
in the distance where the Bard of
Avon is buried. And, having made
their pilgrimage to Shakespeare
town, scores of American tourists
stopped long enough to carve their
initials or names on the walls of
the tower. The fire made all this
effort SO much wasted labor, for the
tower went up in flames with the
theatre.
If a reproduction Of the old Globe
is built on this site, it is expected
to provide facilities for the prasen-
tation of Shakespearean plays in
surroundings closely resembling Those
of the Elizabethan age.
A letter proposing that the memory

sions, was colonial secretary on sew
eral occasions, and held that office
