Who originated the game of golf and when 1t

Golf is called the national game of Scotland, AL

Englandy during the reign of Edward III, that game
called handy BALI "cambuca." The Dutch
game differs greatly from the Scottish and it is main
tanned that golf is lneal descendant Of the game
called "shinty, but it is probable that it
combination of both Shinty IA n game Of force,
golf is game Of skill. In the United States New York
was the first to take the game, although there is
a tradition that golf played the Pacific coast by
band of old captains in the sixteenth century.

DANDELION WINE

Well we know when spring comes Tor the dandelions are out with their full dress suits on. The dandelion may be weed, but it's golden stars add fresh beauty to spring, Moreover, it has played a considerable part for years in household economy. The greens make most palatable dish, boiled or as salad. Of late this hardy and pervaslve plant has won new popularity. Cidar and fruit juices are among the simple pleasures of the farmers; but any one can make dan delion wine.

A SENATORIAL WARNING

Senator Jones of Washington, author of the merchant marine act of 1920, told a group of men representing American ship ping interests that unless those interests could get together and concentrate their ef- forts on devising policy in the next year or the year after, the United States would 20 right back to where 1t was when the war broke out.
 The hearing on the so-called Pepper ship aid plan was the cause of the comment. Defenders of the Pepper plan explained that the object of the bill was to build up the Am erican merchant marine by reducing the capital cost of ships. Under this bill 1t IS proposed that the government rebate to shipbuilders in fifteen-year per cent bonds the difference between the cost of building ships in American ship yards and ln for eign yards, up to 30 per cent of the total cost. It is explained that such rebate IS necessary to make up the difference in cost, owing to cheaper materials and labor abroad
 Americas overseas freight bill amounts to about S5OO,OOO,OOO annually, and most of this is paid to foreign vessels. To surren- der ocean transportation to foreign vessels will subject American shippers to exorbl- tant freight rates.
 Great industries have been built up un- der the principle of protective tariff. The ocean-carrying trade is the only trade ne cessarily open to free competition with the whole maritime world If the principle of government protection were applied to ocean vessels, the American merchant ma rine might be built up permanently. Protec- tion of American eoast-wise trade makes 1t successful free trade in ocean transporta- tion overwhelms American vessels, which which are expensive to build and which car ry highly paid crews.

POLICE,

Possibly the abundance of crime in this country is due to the paucity of police. The Merchants association in New York, sup porting Commissioner McLaughlin's request for 5000 more patrolmen, says that New York has one policeman for every 556 resi- dents, visitors and commuters; London has one for each 129, Brussels one for each 2O5, Berlin one for each 225, Vienna one for each 275 and Paris one for each 276 persons.

INACTIVE ARMY
UNITS CITED

''The Coast Artillery Corps now

that considerable period for
mobilization and training would
have to be allowed before the corps

Andrew Hero, jr., chief Of Coast
Artillery, said today in his annual
report to the Secretary of War.
The report continues:
"The personnel is sufficient to
continue it's training in all types
of armament assigned. except trench
artillery, and to keep abreast OF
the developments of the art; in this
latter the coast artillery school is
an invaluable asset and it is i'm.
perative that its work be not inter

student officers.

HOOVER URGES
WATERWAYS

ST. LOUIS, Nov. 22.-Deploring
the tendency Of industry and com
merce to migrate from the middle
West to seaboard, Secretary OF
Commerce Hoover, addressing the
Mississippi Valley Association here
today, urged a broader, more com.
prehensiVe policy in development
of inland waterways.
Sound national economy re-
ouires the establishment of indus
tries nearer to our farm consum-
ers. for it gives both an immediate
market to agricultural products and
a larger Investigation of employ
ment," Hoover said.
Hoover spoke of the Importance
of connections between the Great
Lakes and the Mississippi, and the
Lakes and the Atlantic.
"A cardinal part of our whole
inland system is to deepen the
channels in the Great Lakes and
from the lakes to the sea- to a
depth of % feet" Hoover said.
He declared that engineering re
ports would be available before the
end of the year to show whether
the Oswego to Albany, or the st.
Lawrence route should be en-
ployed.
1.-THE capital cost of completing
our Mississippi system will be
about $12O, 100000 beyond the pres
ent appropriation" Hoover said.
"our present transportation sys-
tenn must be enormously expanded,
If it will provide for the growth
of population. The great gateways
