LOW WAGES
Cause Selling of Workers
Homes

Philadelphia wages is factor
in the increasing number of homes in
this city that are sold under mortgage
foreclosure, according to II. f. Barlow,
secretary of the Pierce School of Bus
mess Administration.
Glib statesmen dispose of homes on
small margin. Many purchasers are
unable to meet the carrying charges.
These forced sales have grown in num-
Der from 675 in 1920 to 2,052 in 1925
and more than 1000 in 1926

the large cities" said Mr.. Barstow,
SIS toward apartment houses. Of all

were in apartment houses and So in

almost one-half of the new housing
under construction are apartments"

In Atlanta I caught Bob out in the
funniest golf story I've heard in a

Big Boh-thats what he really
ought to he called-Big Bob for 90
years, almost, has been one of the
most stylish players of golf in the
world. and the only reason he hasn't
accumulated a flock of ma jor cham
pionships is because of a singularly
unco' habit of performance on the
putting surface.
Big Bob can do everything with
golf ball except get it into four-and.
a-quarter-inch hole. He has a swing
that is well-night classic; despite his
size, he is a model to delight the eye
of sporting sculptor; and if the man
who did the celebrated Fighting
Gladiator" had only seen Big Bob
playing golf first. the gladiator would
have been selling papers instead of
posing in the Louvre.
Withal, Bob has a whimsical hui
NOR. He knows golf and the value Of
golf and it's limitations. He teaches
golf at big school in Chicago and
sings a mean tenor at many a tourna-
ment. But when he was South last
Winter on the Dixie.Cuba golfing pill
grimage, Bob told me he wasn't going
to enter the Southern open.

remark that Frost should have won
the tournament, inasmuch az he was
the only competitor who played well
enough to break 100. Others inti-
mated that the only way he could have
lost would have been to break leg.
Naturally Frost began thinking about
it and found himself in quandary.
He won the cup in an open competi-
tion, but he feels that because he
was the outstanding golfer of the
group who competed. he shouldn't
take it. And today it rests in his
locker at Indian Spring. He Is un-

to the City Club or keep it. But in
any event he has decided one thing.

and harder. The fourteenth and
seventeenth holes at Indian Spring
yesterday-short holes-were very
hard for any golfer, even the best,
while the long sixteenth became vir.
tually a hole requiring three full
wooden shots. The eighteenth, 442

shooters on the course. Very few of
the contestants. even the long hitters,
were able to. get home with two full
shots.
