Synthetic Ice Appears

Synthetic ice is made in New York
and has been shown in Boston as one
of the ultra modern novelties, an indi-
cation Of what the future may bring
into the American home. 1t is carbon
dioxide solidifed, chemically it is only
COZ, used as gas In the soda fountain
and taken in your cooling drink on a
hot day. 1t is heralded as the solu-
ton of all questions pertaining to ar
tifcial refrigeration, lasts much longer
than ice, leaves no moisture when
gone. A small piece in cylindrical
carton will give a North pole tempera-
ture to the ice box for ten hours, be-
ing 142 degrees colder than real ice,
and a piece dropped into glass of
water will make 1t boil, throw off
steam, while, in fact, the dry ice is be
ing coated with real ice 1t freezes
from the disturbed water.-Ohio State

Sounds to Control Fires

The use Of sound waves as fire ex-
tinguishers and weapon in warfare
is called a possibility by Howard
Coonley, civilian director for the
chemical warfare service in the New
England district.
1T is possible in time that the tone
wave of every building in a great city
could be asceFtained and at central
fire station tuning fork would be set
up" Mr.. Coonley says. ''In case Of
fire the tuning fork would be vibrated
and in few minutes the fire would
be extinguished.
THAT sounds extravaganza, but
many Of you will live to see it done"
Experiments, he said, had already
been conducted on his own house The
reason why the vibrations would not
shake the house into a mass of ruin
was that the adjustment would be
just enough out OF tune,

Tmo Great Americans

Passing through Salisbury, S. O.,
the writer recalls that here lived
two great pioneers "a pioneer in the
discovery Of a new country and a
pioneer in politics. They were Daniel
Boone and Andrew Jackson. Daniel
Boone, a restless spirit, courageous
FOR adventure, pushed across the
mountains to the west of him and
laid the foundation for history in
Kentucky.
Andrew jackson, the other pioneer
who also lived In this town of Sails
bury, studied law, felt his ambition
growing and moved, like Boone,
across the Blue ridge. He built a
log cabin in Tennessee, lived to re-
place it with a handsome mansion,
and then moved into the White
House. He made a name for him
self in American politics in the late
twenties and early thirties by saying
what he thought and doing as he
pleased Toledo Blade.

Smarter Than Samson

You remember Samson's haircut,
which proved fatal. That bit of his
tory came near repeating itself In the
case OF Governor Elizarde of Aqua
calientes, Mex. He was proud Of his
magnificent beard but his enemies
tried to put up job on him and per-
suade him that he would be even bet
ter looking without 1t. They expected
to substitute a barber. who would cut
the governors throat while pretend
ing to shave off his beard. However,
that beard had been the pride Of the
governors life and he refused to have
1t removed and so probably saved
himself from removal along with his
whiskers. Capper's Weekly.

HAD GOLF LINKS IN
AMERICA LONG AGO
Evidence That Came Was
Played in Year 1860.

The inquiries made by those who
have searched into the history Of golf
have ELECTED a fund of interesting
lore, and there are several outstand-
ing points which seem to have es-
capped attention completely by most
of the players of this day.
The most startling Of these is that
golf was first played, not In Scotland
which is generally supposed to have
been its birthplace, but in Holland. In
it's primeval form the sport is believed
to have been only crude outline Of
what 1t is In its modern raiTnent, but
the basic principles were unquestion-
ably there.
In my time 1t has always amounted
to sacrilege to advocate radical re-
forms in the game. The slight changes
have invariably been more of an ex-
pedient nature than constitutional
A manifesto Of the ancient ST. An
drews club Of Scotland reads; 1.-THE
game ceases to be golf as soon as the
rules are broken at pleasure" This
refers more to arbitrary violations by
individuals. but the spirit back of 1t
is the same as that which keeps the
game free from tampering.
There is scattered evidence that
golf was played sporadically in this
country more than a century previous
to the time 1t was placed ON an en-
during basis In 1888, the year Which
is now accepted as marking its real
beginning. 1 have heard authorities
on the early history of the game tell
of blue law passed in the city of
Albany, N. T., in 1850, forhidding
Sunday play.
1t is traditional that wherever
Scotsmen went they took the game
with them, in exactly the same man
ner as baseball today follows Ameri-
cans over the face of the globe. In
New York, the members of the st.
Andrews society, which was founded
10 1856 and was the outgrowth of the
Scots society of New York, its senior
by IL years. made a practice of pro-
viding entertainment for the men who
came here with. the Scottish regiments
in Colonial days, Golf was one of the
diversions which 1t encouraged among
the soldiers from the native land.
But whatever golf was played here
then was of an unorganized and local
nature. 1t gained no foothold among
native Americans. There is not even
any record to show that 1t stirred sHf
ficient interest to be worthy of the
ridicuie which greeted its revival
more than one hundred years later.
And with the Revolution 1t died, leav-
ing only a few mourners, who, in
spite of the clannish Scottish spirit
and the traditional Scottish love for
old customs, were unable to refan the
flame to life.
1t is unquestionably true that here
and there over the land were Scots
men who continued to swing clubs
and at times even banded together
and mapped out courses, as the rec
erds of Texas and other Southern To-
calities show; but it remains that no
effort to launch golf in the United
States was genuinely successful until
IS years ago. The fact that it had
meanwhile taken strong hold in Can
ada seemed to be without effect
