In the end the championship was
practically settled on this green.
Macdonald Smith found a way to
avoid disaster although even he
couldn't achieve par figures. TO do
SO he employed genuine strategy.
Here were the conditions which
made the green difficult:
Clear across the front stretched a
deep dry ditch, With steep banks and
a sandy bottom. From its edge the
green rose with Il marked slope to
the center, where there was ii mar
row space of level ground perhaps
feet wide. At the back of this
level territory the cup was placed
Just beyond the cup the green re-
sumed its upward rise, this time
even more pronounced than before
and continuing to the extreme rear
edge. The whole surface was as
slippery as ice.
Tee Shots Placed Short.
The great ma jority of the con
testantS placed their tee shots short
of the cup. SO as to have uphill puts

spot near the cup it would roll back
down the declivity and into the ditch
The object OF most OF the players
was to putt past the cup TO the upper
slope in the hope that the ball would
go down as 1t came back. But mostly
it would miss the cup. And its
impetus would be sufficient to carry

NO ROAD BUILDING NEAR NEW BRITAIN

When a committee from New Brit ain and Berlin talked to Highway Commissioner John A Mcdonald last February regarding the con- struction of new roadway between the two towns they were informed rather frostily that there would be no such improvement for at least three years. The same rule seems to hold good regarding the pro- tected new highway between New Britain and Meriden, through the Cat Hole pass route. There has been nothing dlscernlble in favor Of this highway since the project was bruited more than a year ago and the local gentlemen who thought the highway department would speedily concur into build Ing the road. after the Legislature gave its sanction, doubtless were in error.
 The highway department tho other day announced its building program for this year, totalling only 25 miles Of road and spread over 16 projects. It Is perhaps use less to add that the New Britain Berlin and New Britain Meriden highways were not included. As usual, the most important projects were in the southwestern part of the state, along the Norwalk- Dan bury road and the Boston Post road at Milford, Orange and West Haven. Not a mile is to be con- structed near New Britain.
 Failure of the state highway de- partment 10 take action regarding the highway between here and Berlin, locally known over part of it's distance as "washboard alley" is particularly hard to understand. Civic organizations have been in sistent that Beech Swamp road should be improved, and spoken language about this stretch Of highway Is at times sulphurous Yet the state highway department continually and consistently over looks it.
 It perhaps is time that another local delegation went to Hartford and had one more interview about the highway. at which time the delegation might also touch upon the possibilities of an early begin- ming upon the new highway to Meriden.
 Altogether there are 4 miles of new trunk line and state aid roads under construction and being con tracted for in the state, 49 miles being left over from last years operations; and none is close enough to New Britain to impress local motorists.

CHEWING GUM IN NAVY

Once upon time, children and grown-ups, sailors in the [. s. navy evinced such a fondness for chew ing gum that some of them forgot to take the substance from their nutriment receptacle when the commanding officers lined up the ranks for review. Captain W. F. Fullam. commanding the battle ship Mississippi but since retired as an admiral, became angry one fine day and induced the navy de- rartment 10 make an order that nobody in the navy be allowed 10 chew gum. In the days when Old Ironsides dashed tho foamy crosts, when Oliver Hazard Perry pounded the British off Lake Erie. when the Monitor maulod the Merrimac. when David Glasgow Farragut rushed the defences of New Or leans - In those hearty days, mates, it was the custom for blue Jackets 10 chew tobacco and eX- pectorato over the side to their hearts content. By 1911, however It appears that tobacco had given way to tho more effeto and cffemi- nate chewing gum. and tho prac- flee had 10 be stopped.
 It is with pleasure to record, however. that times again have changed. Our brave lads on the steel decks, in the turrets and in tho other vastnesses of the battle ships again arc allowed 10 chew Inc pcpsin. spearmint, tarbcrry and peppermint, All this upon the suE- Eestion of Senator Mckinley. in whose state the making Of chewing gum is no insignificant industry.
 Admiral Moffett, who induce1 Secretary Wilbur 10 reinstate chew ing gum in the navy, was correct in his estimate that the chewing of sum is not harming American ayia- tors and therefore cannot he ey- pcrtod 10 harm sailors. And when it comes to a question Of the ethics Of tne s"a. q sailor surely is en- titled 10 his chaw as much as Iandsman or an airman.
