GOLF EQUIPMENT
 MATCHES CLOTHES
This Is Ultra in Sports Styles
 This Year

Chicago, March g JP) - The stylish golfer of 1927 will have cos tumes and equipment to match if he exhibits of the National Golf show mean anything.
 For instance the idea of using a ones costume.
 Then there IS also the opportun- itv 10 have golf balls match the golfers costume. This suggestion is brought ont by Alex Turner of New ark. O., who claims the fad is quite tho thing in Scotland.
 Turner is showing green golf ball for q green costume: red golf hall for those who prefer loud sport house: yellow. silver and gold balls also are in the list.
 There is even the old reliable win ter golf ball of black, meant to be used in playing over snow capped bunkers and icy greens.
 Very little new equipment is being offered this season Two of the out standing bits include split shaft club and the club which may be reg ulated.
 The split shaft club is made ot three strips of bamboo and three strips Of hickory. The strips are "Iaminated" together to make q stout shaft. The principal idea in volved, golfers say, is that when one of the strips warps, the other five hold the shaft in the proper posi- ion.
 Several professionals are said 10 b" using tho new split shaft in lha present tournaments.
 The adjustable club is one on which the club head may be resulat- d There is Q connection at the base Of the shaft by which the head may be twisted so as to give either a mashie, mid-iron or butter. Thus Tar the club has not been brought into popular use

While more than 100000 acres have
been swept by the muddy tide and
livestock and remnants of ungathered
crops have suffered damage, reports OF
loss of lives in the White river low

"Y7 1905 and the grammar school and
the Y NJ c. A. team and the Bisbee
high school faculty team.
The games will start at 7:15. The

TAX REDUCTION
LEGISLATION Is
BLOCKED AGAIN

WASHINGTON, Feb. .--tR)-Senate
action on a resolution declaring for
enactment of tax reduction legislation
at this session was STAYED off today by
republican leaders.
Senator Harrison, democrat, Missis-
sippi, succeeded in getting his measure
before the senate. but it finally was
forced to the calendar under the rules
objections. Asserting that two hours
had been "frittered away by fi1ibuster-
ing" the Mississippian gave notice
that he wound undertake to clog the
senate machinery each noon and eve
ming until some action was taken.
Senator Curtis, the majority leader,
pointing out that Senator Smoot, re-
publican, Utah, chairman of the fl
nance committee, which deals with tax
matters, was absent because of Illness,
said he would not want a vote in his
absence.
There was a suggestion for a confer
ence on the resolution within a day or
two looking to an agreement as to it's
ultimate fate. If passed, the measure
would have little effect, since tax leg
islation must originate, in the house,
and republican leaders there have
shelved all revenue proposals. After
the resolution it was laid before the
senate, Senator Fess, republican, Ohio,
moved its reference to the finance
committee. When Senator Harrison
had concluded his address, Senator
Fess took the floor and spoke until 2
p. M, when, under the rules, the un-
finished business of the senate was in
order.
Harrison sought unanimous consent
to continue consideration of the reso-
luton after that hour, but Curtis OBJ
jected, as he did to the resolution 60

I aiken Back In Fold
By Catholic Church

LONDON, Feb. R.-By a brief
ceremony lasting barely half an
hour, the Duke of Marlborough
passed today from the state of
material hereto" into the fold OF
the Roman Catholic church.
The dukes marriage to the former
Consuelo Vanderbilt was recently

Marlborough, who was Miss Gladys
Deacon, of Boston, was present to

The little party, which also in
Guided the Countess of Abingdon,

lof Birmingham, the ducal residence
of Blenheim being situated in that
diocese.

and Duchess an audience after the
ceremony and bestowed his blessing
on them.

COPPER STILL
WAIVERS ABOVE
IS CENT MARK

There has been but little change in
the metal market, and what change
has come showed a weakening, ac-
cording to the current Mining Journal.
Copper has been wavering between
1314 to 1895, but with the lower price
prevailing; lead has been having con-
cessions made on the 1865 contract
price, and zinc has dropped to 6.45.
Silver is quiet at 561a. The trend of
the lead price rs believed to be down
ward, and it IS believed that the bot
tom has not yet been reached. Most
sales are for early shipment, and no
one seems to be willing to buy very
far ahead at present prices.
It is not probable that there will be
any great Immediate increase in lead
consumption but ii should maintain
it's present pace. The failure of Ger
many to maintain it's 1925 rate of con-
sumption contributed greatly towards
the slump in lead, and it is expected
that Germany will be back into the
market more heavily, but any increase
in foreign demand will probably be
offset by building trades and automo-
bile slump in this country.
Clinton H. Crane, president of st.
Joseph's Lead company, finds nothing
to be dissatisfied with in the lead con-
ditions He says: Though the aver
age price has been $12 a ton less for
1925, the ultimate benefit to the pro-
tducers from the satisfactory tenor Of
the market, the steady demand, and
the general Improvement in operating
technique may well be equivalent to
the Immediate and Commensurate saw
ing accruing to the consumer. The
United States production and that OF
the world as whole exceeded by 5
to per cent the previous record fig
ures of 1925. The American consump-
ton far surpassed that of any other
year.
The present price of zinc is lower
than at any time during 1926 and busi-
ness in zinc is very quiet While some
business is being booked for delivery
during the next two months, the
amount is small, and the buyers are
generally not willing to commit them
selves very far ahead, even at today S
bargain prices. There is little besides
quietness to expect in zinc, as Europe
has shown that.it can get along with
out American zinc, as it is already
overproducing the amount necessary
for it's own needs. The zinc consun-
ing industries are all active, particu-
larly the brass trade, which is break
