Common Law in Golf.

A Canadian judge has decided that
applies to accidents In sports, and a
player Is liable II he does anything
that a reasonable player would not
do. Accordingly, the judge in ques-
tion upheld a verdict against woman
golfer for accidentally striking an
other woman in the face with her
club. The decision has wide possibii-
ities Of further application. As for
the case in which it was rendered, a
woman, Miss Oldham. was playing q
twosome with a Mr.. Cieghorn, and
Mr.. cleghorn's sister was carrying
Miss Oldham's clubs. Miss Oldham
made her drive from the lady's tee.
and turned to watch Mr.. Cleghorn
make his. Mr.. Cleghorn dubbed his
shot and Miss Oldham. teeing up an
other ball, drove again. calling to her
partner, This is the way to do itw
Now that act alone was almost Grim
inal. But she trespassed further, for
she swung through and her club head
hit Miss Cleghorn in the face. The
latter sued for damages which the
court awarded. Miss Oldham con-
tended stoutly that she had her eyes
on the ball, and therefore did not see
Miss Cleghorn. The fact that she had
her eyes on the ball was altogether
praiseworthy, as we'll as highly ortho.
dox. The judge should have com
mended her for it, adding that this
world would be q better place to live
in if more golfers kept their eyes on
the ball. But instead. he implied that
Miss Oldham should also have been
parently overlooking the fact that
Miss Cieghorn committed something
of an objectionable sin herself when
she stood so close to one making q
tee shot that she was hit by the club
Nevertheless. the decision has been

Ship Building Decline.

American merchant shipbuilding
continues to decline. Lloyd's Register
published on the 18th of this month
shows that a $4,000 gross ton loss over
the previous quarter was made in the
quarter ending September 80. At the
end of June we stood fifth in the list
Of shipbuilding nations. Today we
have dropped to seventh. France and
Denmark having passed us. OF the
worlds total merchant shipping con-
struction contracts, 100000 tons, or
nearly 1,250.o00 more than year ago,
only per cent were at the end of last
month under auspices of American
yards. American shipbuilding opera
tions and the existence of an Ameri-
can.controlled merchant marine are in
extricably intertwined.
These are cold, hard, disquieting fig-
ures and facts. The desirability Of an
American merchant marine in time of
peace, the vital necessity therefor In
time of war. is theme SO familiar to
the thoughtful citizen as to need no
elaboration here. That the greatest
commercial nation in the world--a ma
ton whose continued prosperity de.
pends directly upon its huge exports
and imports-should so soon after its
costly experience in the late war SO
far forget the lesson it then learned as
to permit an essential factor in its
trade security to pass again from It's
hands to those of others is almost as
incredible as 1t appears to be true.
There is an ingrained opposition on
the part of our body polite to govern
mental subsidies. 1t is an opposition
based upon the generally sound and
reasonable conviction that only such
enterprise as can earn its own way de-
serves to exist in a nation which
boasts its ability to stand sQuarely or
its own two feet. But there Is this tC
be said, and 1t may be applied to oul
commercial aviation problem as wei
as to that of our merchant marine
II, as is accepted as fact, an Ameri
can'controlled merchant marins is es
sential to the enhancement of oul
peace.time prosperity and our war
time security, we must have an Amer
ican-controlled merchant marine. If
as is logically incontrovertible. Ameri
can.built ships are essential to thu

FAIR PLAY SOUGHT
FOR GIRL STUDENTS
Deans of 7 Women's Colleges
Say Male Universities
Get Most of Funds.


BOSTON, October 24.-The ques-
ton of fair play for American wom-
ems colleges is raised by the deans Of
seven of the best known of these in
stitutions. They say that most of
Americas money being in the hands
of men, contributions to male educa-
ton are so much more liberal that
girls of moderate means are being
denied.
The seven deans state the case of
what they term the crisis" in femi-
nine institutions of higher learning,
in an article in the Atlantic Monthly
They number five women and two
men, and they sign the article jointly
Have $500 Students.
The colleges are Barnard, Bryn
Mawr, Mount Holyoke, Radcliffe,
Smith. Vassar and Wellesley. The
deans are, respectively, Virginia
Crocheron Gildersleeve, Marion Ed
wards Park. Mary f. Woolley, Ada
l.. Comstock. William Allan Nelson.
Henry Noble MacCracken and Ellen
+. Pendleton. None of these colleges
is far from 50 years old. the article
SAYS, and all represent the same pc
riod Of American educational history,
in which woman's right to higher
education has been admitted.
Their $500 girls represent all sec
tions Of the country: AZ per cent OF
them are public school products, 81 "a
per cent products of private schools
and 2112 per cent combination OIL
the two.
About so per cent of them marry
and the trend to marriage is upward.
IF women" says the article, moth.
ers and teachers of the next genera.
ton. are to have as good an educa.
ton as their brothers, as solid, as in
telligent and as far seeing. then that
education must be established so It
cannot slip backward.
Support Is Asked.
"Are we in America prepared to ad-
NIT the right of women to the same
quality Of educational opportunity as
men? If we are, it follows that the
institutions for women should receive
financial support in proportion. Such
support has not so far been given.
The largest of the women's colleges,
for example, has endowments yielding
annually less than $120 per student,
compared with $500 enjoyed by its
nearest neighhor among the mems
colleges.
Enumerating what greater econ
omy of opera ton" means, the article
lists restrictions on library and lab
oratory equipment, less opportunity
for limitation Of athletes, poorer ap-
paratus and less leisure for reseaI ch
on the part of the faculty. Alumnae
are exhausted by their efforts to raise
funds, the limit of higher fees has
been reached for present economic
conditions and the seven institutions
expect more and more" to have their
best teachers drawn away "by our
wealthier brothers"
