~ Of golf and the golf course of
II the Columbia Country Club.
\ club officials found today, after
scanning the record of those
who have left the first tee, that 20,990
players have used the course during
the first seven months of the year,
just barely short of an average of 100
players a day, including three Winter
months.
The first seven months of the year
contain I'll days, and the average of
slightly less than 100 a day, even
through the cold months, is looked
upon as an indication of the popularity
of the course. besides bringing into
focus the fact that most of Columbia S
members are golfers. Necessarily
there were many days during the
seven months when the course was
soggy and soft, and covered at other
times with snow and ice, while on
other days rain initiated against golf.
Still the average kept up nearly to the
100 a day mark.
incidentally, Columbia, in common
with the other golf courses about
Washington, is in excellent condition
in fact, in far better condition than
usual at this time of the year, due to
the assiduous work of Fred Mcleod
and the heavy rains that have fallen
over the past fortnight.
Assistant professionals of Washing
ton and Baltimore win hold their next
match in Baltimore on a course yet
to be named. The tourney will prob
ably be held at Rolling Road later in
August.

tournament play around Washington

THE CHAIN LETTER

One never realizes what a wonderful friend a waste
basket be until Chain letter is received in the
daily mail
This symbol Of idocy appears to be making the
rounds in FL Centre. number of business men having
complained that they had opened envelopes only to
find Chain letter" had caused some moron to waste
two cent stamp some paper, and envelope and part OF
a pencil
No time was wasted in writing the letter for it is
impossible to waste the time Of anyone who is imbecile
enough to write chain letter.
This particular has not the usual religious angle
it, does it threaten bad luck chain letters used
to DO As chain letter even, it is pretty much OF
fizZle At least the copy received in this office
1t seems hardly necessary to urge people to pay
attention to the 'chain letter. None but a simpleton
would carry out its suggestion and advice not to be
given to S1mpietons.
When the "chain letter. bobs up in the mail drop it
in the wastebasket and then apologize to the basket

UTILIZING GENUS

VIII Rogers SpeakIng-about those stage offers OF
fabulous wealth made 10 Capt LDdbergh:
The government should give him life pension and
Il high position in government aviation program
''lnstead Of us paying 10 him ON the stage or
(where he doesn't baong) take that admission
money and make it into a national asmonial that will
provide for him and his mother for life.
Let him have his entire time open to assist aviation;
then he will be a blessing TO US and not side-shoW.
will personally play benefits 1or him the rest of my
life to keep him from having TO make exhibition Of
himself.
That may seem a little bit mixed when You read it
over critically, but the import IS plain and sound. Ii is
ridiculous that anybody with such genius for ava-
ton Lindbergh has should should be ured from his
chosen profession, and great flier be turned into
thrdrae actor 1t is ridiculous that this great
try should not make the most Of his talent.
Lindbergh doesn't want millions He wants to boost
aviation His ambition fits his country's best in
terest.
In some way, = OF his type should be placed be-
yond the fear OF want the need Of providing for him
self and his family and left free devote his life to
the development OF MS hobby. The Western Electric
Company did that with Steinmez, the electrical gen
ius II should be done somehow for L,ndbergh
In a wholly rational society, the government would
provide adequate incomes and working facilities for all
such men Of special talent and enthusiasm.
