Explaining the Club Habit

American tourists returning from abroad. bring
tales OF the London club. Call anyone at anytime
and anywhere at home at the office, and you
are told that So-andSo is at his club" they report
The American who wonders at "the club habit" OF
London overlooks very obvious reason for the
stronger hold Of the club the Englisnman than
on the American.
London lives indoors because it's outdoors is q
world too frequently without sun. Men can live
indoors without sun and make up for it with CHEEKY
lamps and fires, but there is substitute for the
sun outdoors. 1t is there it is not If not, the
only thing enturable is to get out of it:
The modern man who flees sunless world and
seeks its substitute with lamps and fires is merely
making the same gesture that his sun-worshiping
caveman ancestor did,
Science gives another qurk on the reasons
for clubs in sunless city, too. Sun is considered
the normal meteorological condition. they say And
any deviation from the accepted normal weather
dtion, brings subconscious fear and fear, in turn
brings it's desire for human companionship. Thus
is born that friend of gregarty, the club.

Wasting Gravestone Words

Not long ago famous foreign singer is said to
have. composed his own eptaph, which was to read
as follows:
Here is the grave of Blank. He lived, he loved
and he did scandalous things. He lied and COM
mitted sins unspeakable. He was like the devil
who danced in church before mass. At last he has
found repose. Now, immobile, he lies under this
stone, his tomb watered only by the tears of his
wife and children Eternal peace to your remains
actor, singer, artist and man who sold himself to
all, Peace"
The man was far too wordy, too rhetorical, too
vain ST himself. The whole tale of most humans
could be told in two sentences:
"Here lies Blank. He lived he snned, he loved
he died."

The State Golf Tournament

The annual tournament of the North Dakota State
Golf association is being held the links of the

confined to few of the larger towns in North Da-
kota, but it spread rapidly to the smaller commun-
tiles, and each year finds more and more of them
| taking it up.
The popularity of the game is easy to understand.
Besides the outdoor feature. it has many elements
that appeal to ALL young and old alike. It has highly
competitive features that other sports do not have

NikOla Tesla-Neplected

Nikoa Tesla is II. To most of us, that will mean
merely that we'll scratch our heads and murmur:
Let me see. Who is this man Tesla? ?"
This man Tesla" has never been much in the
public eye, yet he has done more in his span OF
ant figures which parade before our vision
Tesla is the man who first produced practical
system OF wireless transmission. Before Marconi
took out patents on his system Tesla had perfected
his work. But, is the case with all inventors he
was at first laughed to by the public Then it
came to realize that the fellow actually had pro-
duced something which meant an immense step for
ward for the world For little while he was ac-
claimed. and then the public dropped him back into
obscurty
But down cast, now, Tesla is still working on new
scientific projects which, if accomplished, will mean
that another great stride has been taken by the
world. he is perfectng system for transmission
OF electric power through the air.
SIX years ago, he said. and he repeats today: 81
am now ready to transmit 100000 horsepower by
wireless with loss of less than five per cent in
transmission" His system works, but the tren-
cndous cost necessary to install plants for sending
the power prohibits its use at present He is now
attempting to make cheaper system
Not many of US think about Tesla, however.
just as not many of thought much about the
little hunch-backed scientist Charles Steinmet..
working in his laboratory back in Schenectady
Yet it is entirely possible that this man who does
not want and is not given prominent place in
our roster OF wordbuders is likely to do the most
TO move US farther up the ladder of progress.

which failed today at Geneva can
be resumed at an early date was in.
Dictated in formal statement issued
today by Secretary Kellogg.
II do not consider the failure to
make an agreement now as final"
Mr.. Kellogg said. II am confident
that the work done at Geneva will
make It possible after consultation
between the governments to find Z
basis for feconciling the divergent
views and lead to the early conclu-
sion Of an agreement for the limita-
tion Of auxiliary naval vessels"
Although the secretary pointed out
in his statement that the British pro-
posals constituted an enhanced cruis-
er building program which the Unit
ed States regarded as neither neces-
sary nor wise." and to which the
Warrington government could NOT
afford to give its moral approval
he SEN:
Il am certain that the failure 1t
this time to enter into IN agreement
will not impair the cordial relations

agreed to call it off, but the day after their con-
ference Aimee gave another statement to the press
it started again.
Aimee said she was going to resign Eat once
Then she said she going to resign in three weeks
Now it appears that she plans to stand pat And
the cause Of the friction between her and "Ma" it
is that ma" didn't get fifty-ffty split on

Ma also made mysterious statements
about Aimee's disappearance" limiting that every

from the church, backed her up. But Aimee says
she has told all.
This sudden vanishing of Aimee it would seem,
