EVERYRODY,.S GAME

It was not long AGO that golf still regarded as
the sport OF the elderly rich man 1t required an
amount of leisure enjoyed by young men or men
of moderate means 1t required belonging to country
club and owning the means of transportation thereto
The development cf golf everybody's game is not
only evidence Of change in fashions but more an evil
dence of the greater amount Of leisure people all en-
JOY today and widespread prosperity than ever
before
Cities, in these days, have municipal golf courses
where thousands OF men and women play the game
without ever seeing the inside of country club Many
colleges and high schools list golf with hockey and
tennis and the other minor sports in which they give
instruction and opportunity for practice.
1t IS suggested that TINS amazing interest in golf in
the growing desire TO participate in sport instead Of
sitting the side lines and cheering few select play
ers. That is end so important and useful that we
can probably endure a good deal of talk from over,
jealous golf bugs" for the sake of general public

OFFICIAL SPEEDING

The federal prohibition administrator for Southern
California and Arizona notice that he will ar
rest county or state officers who interfere with his
when they are performing their duties
. This utlmatum is prompted by the action of traf-
flc officer arrestng federal prohibition officer when
the latter was driving above the speed limit The fed
era man asserted he his way halt the land
ing of liquor and therefore within his rights in
driving faster than the legal limit
1t Is recognized that county, city and state officers
when need arises, may exceed the speed limit They
are supposed, under such conditions to sound their
sirens and if it is night show their red lights in order
that other traffic and those responsible for enforce
ent of the traffic laws may recognize them and give
them the right of way.
Apparently the same ruling should apply to federal
officers whose duties may require speed we'll as
the city, state or county officers. The federal men,
however should be equipped with sirens and red lights
else they cannot be distinguished from the mere cit
izen who breaks the law by speeding.
Not all city, state and county officers obey the law
by confning their speeding to such times as they are
in the performance of their duties Quite often the
siren is sounded and the red light shown that COM
mon traffic the mere citizens who pay the bills may
get out of the way and let sacred authority" proceed

DECENTLY, "a magazine conduct
IN ing an investigation among its
subscribers, found that among the
1906 women questioned, 1901 served
oranges in the home.
Nothing amazing, perhaps, in this
almost universal use of oranges, unless
you recall that a comparatively few
years ago oranges were considered a
luxury to be afforded by the well-to-
do on special occasions.
Further questioning at these 1906
homes developed these further facts.
In A per cent, oranges were served
daily; IS per cent ate them several
times each week; IS per cent had
them occasionally. Apparently, about
half these homes had become sold"
on the orange-eating habit-perhaps
orange juice every morning for
breakfast.
But most significant was the fact
that 70 per cent stated that they pre-
ferrcd the Sunkist brand. The next
most popular brand registered pref
erence with only l112 per cent of
those questioned.

friends fast since the days when it entered the

what Is there in a brush that in
dicates it's true value?" demands the
puzzled shopper, as she turns one
over in her hand. No shopper need
look very penetratingly further than
the bristle. For, while the style,
wood and finish Of the back also con-
stitute value, brushes real value
indicators are in the bristles.
To those few who still wonder
whence the bristle, it might be said
that the bristle is obtained from
vegetables as we'll as from porkers.
The vegetable bristles are known as
fiber bristles."
OF course, bristles are obtained all
over the world, and the finest are
commonly said to hail from Russia.
The reason for this allegation is that
Russian bristles are often pronounced
the stiffest and strongest. Russian
hogs furnish excellent bristles, be-
cause the cold climate in which they
breed gives them a tougher and
longer coat than most of their kind.
Chinese hogs are considered a close
second.
Our own domestic bristles are all
right in every respect, but they are
not usually as stiff or tough as those
mentioned. AS a matter of fact, they
are frequently preferred when soft
brushes are desired.

OF course, the relative coarseness
or fineness of a bristle depends upon
its use. For example, that part of
| the bristle next to the animals skin
is called the buff end and it is used
/ for hairbrushes. The fafthest end
is naturally the softest and most
| flexible and is used chiefly for artists
brushes or paint brushes.
You may judge the quality of
bristles by testing them for life or
resiiency. Though good bristles are
| tough, they are also plant. The rea-
son that some Inequality brushes are
so costly is because the bristles re-
quire great care in selection and treat
| ment. The various processes are
done by hand.
Bristles made of vegetable fibers re.
quire close examination to be dis
tinguished from animal hair. They
are made from stalks or leaves of
wiry grasses and swamp plants.
They are suitable for many uses.
Animal bristles will spring back with
a bound when pushed down into the
center of brush. Vegetable
"bristles" straighten more slowly.
Hog bristles will curl over when pulled
between the fingers, while limitations
drop or break off. Real bristles also
burn slowly and smell like hair; fiber
ones burn like paper.

In the Summer heavy, starchy foods
are not appetizing. Also they are
not necessary for the health.
The amount of energy food re-
quired in hot weather is less than in
Winter, but q certain amount of
starch ana sugar must be taken for
fuel. In whole wheat products there
is not only starch but protein, to.
gether with mineral salts and vita
Minis. Hence their Importance. In
fruits there is natural sugar. In po-
tatoes. baked or boiled or steamed in
their skins, there is not only starch
but protein. mineral salts and vita
Minis. Hence the benefit of cOnserv-
ing all the good of the potato. The
fats will be furnished in butter, in
cream or top of the bottle milk tof
course. some fat is present in whole
milk, and then in whatever salad
dressings you may use, either in olive
or other vegetable oil. mayonnaise or
French dressing. If mineral oil is
used, of course there is no fat.
A Summer diet needs bulky foods
to help elimination. plenty of drink
ing water for the same purpose, some
starch and sugar as outlined, some
protein-in mix, eggs, whole grains,
sometimes meat, cheese or fish, and,
besides. foods rich in minerals and
vitamins. For these last elements we
depend on an abundance Of fruits and
vegetables.
The following suggested menus are
for normal weight adults:
Breakfast-Could start with canta-
loupe, berries or pears. or even
oranges or grapefruit. A coddled or
poached egg, easy of digestion. could
