MARTIN is DANGEROUS

HUT Martin, formerly the profess
sional at the Los Angeles Country
club may be a contender in the S10,-
900 right from taw. Mr.. Martin has
won the Southern California open
three times, and he can 20 over the
Los Angeles course blindfolded, and
with one hand behind him. Still, Dick
Linares, the Long Beach pro, who
was running the field cock-eyed in the
Long Beach open, could call every
blade Of grass on the Virginia Country
clug course by its first name, and
that didn't do him any good when the
real pulling and hauling began.
Many of the home town golf bugs
are rather in favor OF George Won
Elm winning this stake. George played
Atlanta's favorite son, Mr.. Bobby
Jones, in the final Of the national
amateur in 1924, and was put out by
Robert in the same event in 1929.
He won the Southern California open

GOLFERS TRAIN
FOR $4,000
TOURNEY
Bill Mehlhorn and Mac
Smith Favorites in
Los Angeles.
By DAMON RUNYON
Universal Service Staff Correspoudent

LOS ANGELES, Jan. 5.-Out at
the Los Angeles Country Club the
golfers are knocking the pill around
the premises By way Of getting their
blood in circulation for the opening
of the $4,000 tournament, which
starts there Thursday.
This is the largest golfing stake
ever offered, and the opponents of
what my old friend, Mr.. Fat Matt
Foley of Chicago calls COW pasture
pool, are really quite heated up about
the matter. The field will include
most of the gentlemen who partici-
pated in the Long Beach $500 open.
which was won Sunday by Mr.. Wild
Bill Mehlhorn Of Chicago, after some
very industrious and persevering golf
ing.
Mr.. Wild Bill will be seen trudging
about on both his bowed legs in the
big stake, and many Of the deeper
thinkers in local golf circles who wit
messed his Long Beach efforts think
Mr.. Wild Bill may also snatch the
Los Angeles tournament. However,
there are other very profound think
ers who think that Mr.. Macdonald
Smith will be seen walking gracefully
home in front.
GRACEFUL AT LEAST.
1t is a sure thing that Mr.. Macdon-
aid Smith will be walking gracefully,
whether he is in front or not. In the
matter Of walking gracefully, Mr.. Mac
donald Smith has the field two down,
and five yards to gain-or whatever
it is you say in golf.
Mr.. Jesse Puryear, a local golf ex-
pert, seems to put in with the deeper
thinkers who think that Mr.. Macdon-
aid Smith is quite likely to come walk
ing gracefully home in front in the
Los Angeles open, basing this thought
as l gather, partly on Mr.. Smiths
form Sunday, and partly on the fact
that Mr.. Smith generally does win al
most everything he goes after.
At the same time, Mr.. Puryear
agrees that Mr.. Wild Bill Mehlhorn
will be there, or thereabouts at the
finish. was hoping that my favoritc
golfer, Mr.. Light Horse Harry Cooper,
the fast travelling club swinger from
the old Lone Star State, might find
favor with the writing experts, but
it seems that they don't figure him
winner just yet.

PIG, FOG AND WIND
HELD ARMAMENTS

BY the Associated Press.
GENEVA. May 31-Pigs. fogs and
wind all constitute armaments. This
declaration by Dutch experts today
threw the preliminary disarmament
conference into a state which made
many delegates doubt that anything
tangible could he achieved.
The Dutch were undoubtedly seri-
Gus about their pig proposal, enumer-
ating porkers and other live stock as
an important element of potential
strength and deeming fogs an element
in warfare which should not he
slighted.
The American delegation immedi-
ately made reservation to the effect
that common-Sense conception of
reduciable arma ments could not in
clude all the possible resources such
as were outlined in the Dutch propo-
sition. Other representatives seemed
to interpret the American move as a
warning that the conference must get
down to practical business.
t'pon the motion of the French the
meeting proceeded to discuss arma-
mentS on the basis of the Dutch
funda menal proposition, which is that
armaments of a state are the sum OF
the resources at its disposal for MAX
ing war. However. to prevent going
on the rocks. the conference decided
to devote itself to discussing what ele-
ments constitute peace-time arma-
mentS and to attempt later to define
the difficult general question, What
are armaments?"

will go far to render the people i'm.

further in this connection by saying
that IL the people prosper in their
business, they will be less likely to
resort to the irritating methods OF
competition in foreign trade. out of
which arise mutual misundersta ndings
and animosities. Being amply sup
piled with their own resources, they
will not be SO inclined to cast covetous
ewes toward the resources of other ma
tions, he said.
BY this happy situation the Presi-
dent looks for this country TO have
an opportunity to devote its surplus
wealth to the financing OF the needs
OF other nations. He was pleased to
note that our country already has.

the requirements in this direction and
has made large advances to foreign
governments and foreign enterprises
for the purpose of re-establishing

not only a discharge of an obligation
to huma nifty, but the establishment of
community interests which cannot
but be an added security for the
maintenance Of peace, and profitable
as well.

The President explained that 1t was
in accordance with these principles
that the United states has made

"Our National Treasury Is not In
