PATRIOTIC SOCIETY
TO HAVE D. C. BRANCH
Order of the Founders and Patriots
of America in Process of
Formation Here.

A District of Columbia Society of
| the order of the Founders and Patriots
! of America. which was established in
| New York in March, 1896, and now
| has branches in six other States, is
being organized in Washington.
The organization combines the
membership qualifications of previous
~ organized Revolutionary and Colo
NAL societies by requiring that a mem
| Der must establish that his direct
paternal ancestor settled within the
| limits of what became the original
Is colonies during the first so years
after the settlement of jamestown in
1907. and that his intermediate an
ceStors in the same line were loyal
! to the cause of the colonies during
the Revolution. 1t is estimated that
about one tenthOusandth of the pres
ent population of the country is elig-
| ible to membership.
Admiral George Dewey was a
| former governor general of the order,
while the late President Harding was
d member of the New Jersey Society.
| Vice President Dawes Is member OF
! the Illinois Society, and Chief Justice
| Taft of the Connecticut branch.
Among those who have petitioned
for a charter for the District of Co.
lumbia Society are Maj. L. $.
Grant, 3D.; Lieut.. COL ii. Eulnuhu
Bulls. Gen. Benjamin Alvoid, +. Mel
son Dingley. jr.; Smead Alvord, il;
COL. II. j. Hunt. Maj Edgar f. Hume,
Samuel Herrick and former Senator
Hoke smith DR. David Jayne Hill,
former Amba ssador to Germany, also
has. accepted an invitation to join.
Membership in the local society is being
recruited by Mr.. HerriCk, who is gov
ernor of the District of Columbia So
ciety of Colonial Wars, and Maj.
Hume, former governor of the Ken
lucky Society of Colonial Wars.
The organization differs from many
other patriotic societies in that all
funds can be used only for patriotic
| and genealogical purposes, which in
clude the collection and preservation
Of records and the commemoration
and celebration of important events
in the history of the colonies and the
Republic.

Summer Notable
For Its Big Storms
Florida Previously Ravaged
and the Bahamas Twice
Devastated.

The terrific hurricane which
swept over Florida came as the eli
max of series of several storms
that have been playing havoc in
that State, along the Gulf of Mex
leo and in the caribbean since
Spring. On Aug. 26, hurricane
broke over the Gulf coast of Ala
bama and Louisiana, doing damage
estimated at several million dol
lars.
During the last week in July
hurricane swept the Bahamas with
such devastating force that more
than $50 persons were killed and
sS.O00,000 in damage resulted. On
Sept. 16, the islands were again
struck by hurricane, but although
the storm did enormous damage,
no lives were lost
The American Middle West has
been the scene of torrential rain
storms during the last month which
have done heavy damage to crops.
On Sept. 4, Central Japan was
struck by the worst typhoon in re-
cent years, in which 100 persons
were killed.
The latest Florida disaster is in
many ways similar to that which
overlook Galveston, Texas, on Sep.
8, 1900, when a West Indian hurri-
cane drove tidal wave across the
city, inundating it to a depth of
from to Is feet. About 5000
deaths resulted and property worth
$2O,000,000 was destroyed. Help
was poured into the stricken area
from all parts of the world.
The most serious recent storm in
this country was tornado that
plowed a path of devastation thru
Illinois. Indiana and Missouri on
March 18, 1925. Nearly 900 per
sons We're killed and approximately
$500 were injured. The property
damage was tremendous.
The day of this tornado was
marked in Palm Beach by the
burning of the Breakers and Palm
Beach hotels there. A short time
later, on April S, tornado killed
three persons, injured twenty-three
and left 400 homeless, when it
swept to the west of Miami.
Among the storms that have
caused large loss of life and prop
erty in this country We're:
A tornado that killed forty per
sons in Texas on July S, 1905;
Tennessee, Alabama, Georgia, Mis-
souri,, Mississippi and Illinois on
April 80. 1907
A tornado that demolished the
town of Zephyr, Texas, on May 80,
1909, and caused the death of thir
ty persons;
Storms that swept Arkansas. Mis-
sissippi, Illinois and Missouri on
June S, 1916, and took toll of 100
lives;
A tornado that took 295 lives, in
jured 1,247 persons and did mil
lions of dollars of property damage
in Illinois, Indiana, Kansas, Ken
lucky, Missouri, Tennessee, Ala
bama and Arkansas on May 26.
1917;
A strange storm marked by the
swirling of three funnel-shaped
clouds through Fergus, Mimi, on
June %, 1919, that overwhelmed
the town and killed 60 persons;
A tropical hurricane that swept
Corpus Christi and other Texas
cities on Sept. 16, 1919, and took
$50 lives

FORMER BIG
LEAGUE STAR
FAVORS GOLF
Larry Gardner, Sally Loop
Pilot, Sees No Harm in
Mixing Games

Ashcvillc. y. c.. April 24.-Larry
Gardner. former third bascman of
the Boston Red Sox. Philadelphia
Athletics and Cleveland Indians and
hero Of several world series. is one
baseball manager who holds no OBJ
lection TO golf for his ball players.
Gardner this year is taking his
second fling at managing the Ashe-
vile On. c. Tourists Of the Sally
League. Upon arrival at Ashcville
to take charge Of the training grind,
Gardner announced no ban would
prevail against golf for his players.
81 cannot see that golf harms a
player as long as he does not permit
golf to become paramount to his
baseball" said the major league vet
Gran. 81 play the game myself. 1t
does not hurt my fielding, throwing
or batting
''Just as long as players take an
occasional round on the links | hold
no objection. But once they start
worrying more than about their 10
scores than they do over their $50
batting average. then I'll have to
call halt"
Gardner looks upon golf as a rec
reation for his players.
"A round once or twice week
gives them rest from baseball
worries" he explains. IF they're
in a slump. players sit about hotel
Hobbies all morning worrying. They
are grouchy. crabby and harbor a
bad disposition that is dctrimcnta
not only to themselves but to the club
as a whole. A round of golf causes
them to forget their worries. If they
get nice. long golf drives, they re-
gain batting confidence.
Gardner says the main objection
Of baseball managers to golf is that
players play the pasture game too
long at stretch.
Nine Holes Enough
mine holes in the morning is
enough" he opines. Eighteen holes
or more leaves them fatigued when
they reach the park. They're tired
and baseball is drudgery in the
afternoon. That's when the halt
must be called"
The former big league idol relates
