IMPROVEMENT IN
HIGHWAY NOTED
BY NEWSPAPER

The last barrier to transcontinen
tai touring from San Diego east
through Yuma has fallen before the
march of progress, or the steam
shovel and the dynamite blast, ac-
eording to the feature story which
appeared Sunday in the San Diego
Union s automotive section.
For years the Yuma sand dunes
proved a bar to travel eastward
from Holtville but the recent build
ing of the paved highway over this
l-2 miles of shifting sand has re-
moved that deterrant to motorists.
And now comes the opening of
the Mountain Springs grade paved
highway making a 20 foot cement
ribbon connecting the coast with
the farthest border of the state and
bringing the wonders of Arizona S
scenic resorts many hours nearer to
the famous beauty spots e the
coast. Tourist travel no longer
meets the obstacles that long ago
made the trip into Arizona from
San Diego ns1 only difficult hut
even dangerous.
+. II. Morton, state highway en-
gineer writes some interesting de-
tails of the building OF the pave
ment over the sand Gunes. The cost
OF CARRYING water for the highway
construction WAS long d,.terrant
to building the ro2d, he SAYS. Fin
ally engineers decided to sink Il
well in Open valley, 4 small coulcc
somewhat sheltered from the shift
! ing sands. Here, much to every

depth Of - feet and with further
drilling to the 1873 foot level there
was sufficient flow for all needs of
the road building. Thousands OF

highway department by the trifling
cost Of sinking this well.

Many Divorces
Are Dropped
ny United Press Leased Wire

san FRANCISCO. June 81
What is the ultimate disposition Of
almost One-fourth of the divorce
proceedings instigated in San Fran
cisco in which no DEGREES are ever
granted! There are no definite
statistics available but veteran en-
ployes in the county clerk office
say that not one divorce out of a
hundred is denied when taken into
court
A ma jority of the cases in which
DEGREES are not granted are those
involving couples who patch up
their differences and decide no de-
crecs are necessary.
In The 90 years since the fire of
1906. thousands of divorce com
plants filed have never been tax

They are just forgotten records
In probably more than half of these

DIAGNOSE DISEASE
FROM nRO


PARIS, (B-It is said to be possible
to diagnose certain diseases by exam
lining drop Of blood serum from the
patient.
Such is the contention of Drs. Douris
and Mondain, as set forth in a paper
which Professor d'Arsonval read to the
French Academy of Sciences.
A drop of serum from which the
red corpuscles have been removed by
centrifugal action is placed upon glass
and evaporated by uniform application
of heat of 40 degrees cerItigrade
This causes different patterns to ap-
pear, according to the nature of the
serum.
It is from these patterns that Drs
DouriS and Mondain believe that they
can tell the nature of the disease from
which the patient is suffering. A
normal serum gives an image recalling
the section of a lemon. In the case oi
q cancerous subject the pattern is
irregular, leading the discoverers tC
draw parallel with the cellular
anarchy which characterizes cancer
and permitting, they believe, the dag.
nosis of a cancerous state before the
| growth has developed.

Something Just as Good
By James j. MONTAGUE

We were talking in the locker room
about caddies. Bill was of the opinion
that some substitute ought to be found
for them. ION humanitarian grounds
alone" said Bill, I'VE ought to find
some way to get along without them.
The poor little fellows have to work
Sundays thus forming in youth a habit
of Wickedness, which is increased by
the language they overhear and adopt
into their yocapularies. Then they
learn lying, by having to do it for the
fellows they caddy for, and once you
start to lie, you have to keep it up for
the rest of your life. It's SO conve-
nient.
Then there is the cost of caddying,
which is rapidly exhausting the wealth
OF the country. In this club alone
there are 500 players out every week.
Say they only play Is holes each. With
dollar charge and a 25-cent tip,
that's $625 a week in one club Say
there are 500 clubs in the country, and
I'll bet there are more than that, it
makes $3,125,Q00 a week, and multiply
that by So and you have $162 $780, 900
a year. The country can't stand that.
Something ought to be done about it,
why don't you do something, Bill?''
inquired Egbert.
I've been trying, but I haven't had
any success as yet. What need is a
lot of money to start an experimental
golf course, but although the scheme
is a cinch, and would bring an inn
menSe profit as soon as we find the
right substitute, but you can't do any
thing without money, and none of the
cowardly tight wadS I talked to would
come across. They'll fall for green
goods, and bum oil stocks, but you
couldn't drive them into a big money
making proposition with club.
II admit I've had hard luck so far,
but you can't hit on big idea at once.
First, I used dogs. That was before
it occurred to me that it isn't the
actual carrying of the clubs that makes
caddieS essential. Anybody would be
willing to save himself dollar and a
quarter by carrying his own clubs. It's
the fact that balls get lost if you don't
watch them, and if you watch them
you look up, and if you look up you
club the shot. / used dogs at first be-
cause big dogs, like police dogs and st.
Bernards could carry the clubs. You
put a harness on their back, with a
couple of Iooped belts in it, and stick
the clubs through the loops. The dog
looks something like walking lobster
not, but he does the trick all right,
and if you know your own dog and
he knows you, you can get club off
him whenever you want it,
ITO help the dogs find the balls we
had the caddy master rub meat on
them. The dog would start out as
soon as the ball was hit, chase it into
the rough, and find it by the smell
of the meat They gnaWed them quite
a bit at first, but we soon put muzzles

pertinent.
''The trouble was that you had to
Douglas daily dispatch., 1927-09-18

keep the dogs in pen, and they
would fight all the time and make
such a noise that the neighbors OBJ
Jected and complained to the police.
Not only that but the society for the
prevention of cruelty to animals got
after us, because always. few dogs
got killed in the fighting, and be-
sides they said it was wicked to subject
q noble animal to menial service for
men.
''After we gave up the dogs heard
somewhere that pigeons could be
trained to follow objects and poise
over them. So got a lot of pigeons
and tried to train them. But only a
few had sense enough to understand
what they were meant to do. Most of
them kept flying back and forth across
the course, and you know how it is
while you are trying to focus your
attention on a ball. Anything that
moves will distract it. With hun
dred pigeons circling around the course
all the time nobody could hit ball,
SO we canned the pigeons.
1.-THE next thing was to invent golf
ball which would whistle. 1t was easy
enough to do that, by filling the
middle of them with air 1t was a
little harder to make each ball have a
separate note in its whistle so its
owner could distinguish it when it
called to him from the rough or in
the woods along the fairway But the
machinery of the whistle made the
ball lopsided SO it wouldn't putt true,
and it was an awful lot of trouble to
stop after every shot and pump them
full of air again with a hand pump.
If ball was driven long way it was
pretty flabby by the time the player
caught up to it. So we had to give
that up.
"The rabbit idea wouldn't work,
either. That was based on the we'll
known fact that rabbit is curious,
and after he makes little start at
running away at sudden noise he
will come back step or two at q time
and rubber around to see what it was
scared him. He has a fatal curiosity,
a rabbit has
my scheme was to build a tight
wire fence all around the course and
turn a couple of thousand rabbits
loose in it. AS soon as a ball got into
the rough, where they would be sup
posed to be nibbling grass, they would
make a little run away, and then a
little run back, and by watching them
you could come pretty close to locating
your ball.
well, the 200 experimental rabbits
we introduced into our course soon
became what looked like two million.
They dug holes all over the fairways,
they kept chasing to and fro in front
of the players, and instead of getting
into the rough where they belonged
they sat right out on the course and
watched us drive. The boys who were
associated with me said it made them
feel self conscious to see a rabbit look
ing at them on the tee. A rabbit has
] q sort of a sneer on his face, anyway.
