The views of Crosby Gaige and

those of Miller. Gaige added that the

RADIO IS THREAT
Think New Art May Be De-
veIoped, But Not at Old
Ones Expense.

By the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, February 4.-Publish-
ers and stage producers have little
fear of the radio displacing the novel
and spoken drama as predicted by
Cosmo Hamilton, the English novelist,
but they agree it has established a
definite place in the entertainment
world
Hamilton recently condensed his
novel, Paradise" from $4,000 words
to a l2-m1nute play, which he broad
cast from WIZ so successfully that
hundreds of cOmmendatory letters

Then followed his prediction that
the radio, with the assistance OF the
movies. eventually would compel au-
thors to adapt their stories for people
to hear from broadca sting stations and
to see on the screen.
Publisher Doubts Point
The possibility that the radio play
or novel will either substitute for or
supplement the. theater or the printed
book seems even more remote to us
than the once prevalent opinion that
the movie would supplant the legiti-
mate stage said a. Page Cooper of
Doubleday, Page & co.
AS long as the reader finds pleas
ure in the authors manner of style,
his skill In development OF character,
his artistry in words, their rhythms
and their imagery, all of which cannot
be savored in a 10 or 10 minute oral
synopsis over the radio. so long will
the novel retain its popularity as a
form of art.
1T is, Of course. entirely possible
that the radio may develop a form of
its own, distinct from the novel or the
stage production. and that should
have a stimulating effect upon both
the stage and book publishing"
Speaking for Dodd. Mead & Co,

 The Alaskan authorities, how ever, have requested that the inspection service be provided every year, so as to cut down herd losses. The bureau will send an inspector into the ter ritory for this purpose early in July.

courses in western New York as the
scene of their annual championship

The national tournament, opening
August 8, this year will be contested
on the Grover Cleveland Park links,
which was opened to the public for
the first time this Spring following
it's purchase by the city from the Buff
falo Country Club.
Extraordinary efforts are being
made to get the fairways and greens
in tip-top condition. An extra force
of men has been busy daily coaxing
the 6,31S-yard course to display itself
to the best advantage.
The golfer who has mastered the
art of holding his pitches on the green
will have the upper hand over those
who specialize on long drives or
smart putting. A goodly number of
the greens are on elevated mounds.
from which careless approach shots
roll down into deep rough or bad
traps with the slightest provocation.
There are no water hazards, but in
periods of wet weather there are
numerous bitches which answer the
purpose.
The length and par figures for each
hole follow:
No. 1, 375 yards, par 4; No. 2. 400
yards, par 4; No. 8, 10 yards. par 8;
No. 4, 405 yards, par 4; No. 5. $50

The four short holes are each well
guarded with traps and deep rough.
The seventeenth is perhaps the most
difficult of the four, as it is on an
elevation, with nothing to stop roll
ing ball from a plunge into trouble.
