l. was this way:
Had Good Lead.
Bobby and Watts were comfortably
up on Tolley and Jameson as they
stood on the seventeenth tee of the
morning round. They were playing
the first section of the international
match-foursome play in which the
partners drove alternately from the
tee and played the subsequent shots
alternately-the true type of four
some. by the way, both partners using
the same ball.
At the seventeenth lee Watts Gum
was 10 drive against young Jameson,
the boy who n week before had beaten
Bobby in the British amateur cham
pionship at Muirfied, Watts essayed
a shot over the corner Of the COW
shed-the correct line-and sl1ied the
ball, which fell i'm bounds, luckily, but
was a rather short drive. Jameson
then attempted a sliced drive around
the angle and the bal went out of
bounds. leaving Tolley to play three
from the tee. The huge Englishmau
hit a powerful pun well away to the
left. and Jameson played the fourth
shot, topping a brassie deplorably.

banged a great shot with an iron at
the distant green--it is par five hole
and the ball went on over into the
famous road from which the hole gets
its name. This was five for the Britons,
and as Bobby and Watts walked TO
their ball Bobby said:
Just kick it up on the green with
any old shot and We'll have four puts
left for a win
Whereupon Watts in some mys-
terious manner actually shanked
chip-shot and the ball scurried out
into the road, farther from the pin
and in a worse situation than that
of the Britons. However, the Ameri-
cans had played only three to their
opponents five, and Bobby decided TO
play safe with the next, hammering
the ball out of a rut. not toward
the pin at all. a yawning bunker

Watts another simple chip-shot.

Jameson then made fine recov-

Believes Seven Years Of Suffer-

London, Aug. IL R-Feeling

executed after the long suspense
they have undergone.
The respite, says the Times. must
intensity the view that their pro-
longed suffering of seven years I'M

them fit objects of pity. Admitting
that much Of the worlds interest
in the case is avowedly political, ir-
relevant and utterly mischievous,
and that the outrages of the last
days have served to weaken immeas-
ureably the case for a reprieve on
grounds of humanity" the paper
emphasizes that what caught the
imagination OF the public in every
country is not the rights and
wrongs of the trial, but the fact that
any man should be kept so long in
such suspense"
The Daily News declares it is time
the American authorities take steps
to end the tragic farce
We now can see no conceivable
reason for executing these men, 1t
adds. 'If they are guilty, they paid
the penalty many times over and II
they are innocent. it is difficult to
find words to describe their treat
ment."
Asserting the men were victims OF
miscarriage of justice. the News
declares that this point ceased to
have much relative importance.

whether patriotic Americans can
suffer longer criminal system so
rigid and stiff in its pedantry that
it's tender mercies are worse than
the excuses of barbarism.'

prieve or Communication of sentence.

Highways CLEARED

Cutting Brush Has Prevented
Serious Outbreaks

In conjunction with a statement
that not one forest fire which has
taken place in the state during the
past year originated upon the high
way rights of way. Highway Com
missioner John A. Macdonald today
requested the cooperation of Con-
necticut highway users in prevent
ing the outbreak Of forest fires in
this month when woodland confla-
grations are most apt to be prevail
emit. Commissioner Macdonald state
ment followed the reception of re-
ports on fire prevention activities
requested from all Highway District
Supervisors.
All of the district reports show
that every effort to prevent the Or
igin of forest fires upon highway
rights of way in Connecticut have
been made by the supervisors. Spe-
cial attention has been devoted in
the past few months in clearing
away old brush, weeds, and other
inflamable materials along the sides
of the highways, this work being
done with the intention of beauti-
flying the roads as we'll as eliminat-
ing growths which in dry
weather might easily ignite from a
cigaret or cigar butt carelessly
thrown from a passing motor car.
Further effort has been made dur
ing the year to widen the shoulders
OF all roads and to harden them by
oiling so that 1t is impossible for
plant growths to spring up in close
proximity to the pavement.
The reports also state that not
one OF the forest fires of the past
year started along the highway
right Of way. In every case. the
blazes have started in the woods
from the carelessness Of trespassers
or other reasons. In several in
stances, foremen and laborers in the
employ Of the highway department
have volunteered their services or
have been requested by fire war
dens to assist in extinguishing tim
Der fires on the interior of the
woods. Other fires were discovered
by department employees and re-
ported to the fire wardens.
In his request for the cooperation
of highway users in the prevention
Of forest fires Commissioner Mac
Donald said: During the month of
August when fires are most likely
to break out in Connecticut forests.
every person who uses the highway
can assist in preventing the destruc-
ton of valuable and beautiful tim
Der not only by exercising precau-
ton against the outbreak of fires,
but also reporting them by tele-
phone to the nearest fire warden
whenever they are discovered. Mo-
florists travelling along the Connec-
ttcut highways should avoid casting
lighted cigarets or cigars into tim
Der or brush adjacent to the road.
and campers and picnic parties
should take special care in thor
oughly extinguishing with the aid Of
water or sand all camp fires before
leaving them"

MAIL FRAUD HALTED

A fictitious farmers name, Ole
Torkelson, R. 6, of Dassell, was used
by Post Office Inspector George H.
Drake to catch George Fritz of Min
neapolis, the muchly sought "phan-
tom housekeeper" who had been elud-
ing the postal authorities of that city
for four years. Fritz used the name
"Mrs. Milton Royce" in answering in
quiries for housekeepers and by means
of picture of home-loving buxom
woman in her thirties, and cleverly
written letters, extracted various
sums totaling over $1,000 from the
romatic lovers to whom "she" wrote
Money for railroad fares, delinquent
board and doctor bills were advanced
by the lonely swains who were expect
ing "her" on the next train.
Drake posed as Torkelson, farmer
near Dassel, and advertised for a
housekeeper. After considerable cor
respondence he mailed "her" a ficti-
tious money order. The splendid
cook" called at the Minneapolis post
office for the letter and from pre-
arranged signal he was arrested by
the postal officers. The trial will
be conducted in the federal courts of

irritating to the man or woman who

fore it was comfort few weeks ago
to run across the following amusing
comment on the present popular game
of quizz, evidently written by one who
had been irritated frequently by the
complacement smile of the well-in-

"Of what value is it to accumulate
a mass of general knowledge which
would enable us to make score OF

After contemplating this question, l
am forced to the conclusion that we
can be too well informed on mat
ters which are of little consequence
and too little informed on matters
that have a closer and more vital
bearing on our personal welfare.
"For example, how convenient it
is to be able to remember telephone
numbers, addresses, the size of ones
collars, gloves, shoes and hose. 1t
certainly does not help anybody if,
when 1 am purchasing some shirts,

johnson wore.'
"Then again Of what service is it
to me to know what some one famous
man said to some other famous man
if l can't remember what my wife
asked me to bring from town on my
way home? The trouble is that when
we are caught in popular tide which
sweeps forward to wash the shore OF
general information, we suddenly de-
velop a degree of enthusiasm for
knowledge which means little or moth
ing to us, or to the work in which
we are engaged, but which might well
have been exercised in matters about
which we should be better informed
than we are"
The next time you face that com
placement smile at a quizz party

comfortable, even if you do not know
