New York, Aug. 13-(NEA)-It

Jones, lets see now-Robert, to be
sure--a golfer. living at Atlanta. Ga,
who is advancing very, vc-J Tc5ical
change in his favorite sport that, if
carried out. will affect the peace of

many American millions.
Lend an ear, you buffers who &C.

This Jones fellow hoped off a
boat at New York, juggled few gutta

and proceeded to say plenty in a
chat with this writer about jazz

Inasmuch as this Jones fellow
knows his Bermudas, what he has to
say is worth little space and atten-
ton, he being well and fayorably

Modern Golf Ruins Courses
"Modern golf is running every golf
course in America. There has been
a constant stretching Of courses to
cope with increased distances. That
makes up vicious circle. Champion

yards; then $500 yards; now they are
1000 yards and, if it keeps up, may
have to go to 1900.

it should be on skill!

How many times do l get chance

a spoon up to within a few feet of
the hole!
What we lose in distance with

st. Valentines Day

There IS a time near the midway of
this shortest month of the year when
we forget Lincoln's birthday just past
and Washington's soon to come and
remember an event which goes many
centuries further into the past, the
martyrdom of a good and beloved
saint whose birthday lovers still OBJ
serve as st. Valentines day.
The origin of the valentine custom
dates back into the middle century or
earlier. 1t is hard to determine just
when February 14th was first OBJ
served as day devoted especially TO
lovers messages.
This day was supposed to have
been named from St. Valentine said
to have been Roman Catholic bishop
martyred under Claudius III at Rome
others say under Aurelian in I'll.
But there were at least three differ
ent ST. Valentine's, all of them mar
tyrs.
That early English poem, the Can
terbury Tales" refers to the fact tnat
every lover was supposed to choose
his mate upon Seynt Valentines
Day." SO the day had its place in
Cupid's calendar, in England at least
five hundred years ago.
Valentine is corruption of the
word gelatin" meaning sweetheart,
gallant or lover. Thus ST. Valentine
was selected FOR the lovers saint be-
cause. of his name.
Young ladies used to pin bay leaves
to their pillows at night. If they
dreamed of a man he would be their
husband within a year. In order to
make the dream come true it was GUS
tomary to substitute salt for the
yolk Of hard cooked egg and then
eat the egg shell and all before going
to bed without speaking or drinking
after eating the egg.
In England the young people used
to get up before sunrise and go out
and try to get an owl and two SPAR
rows. If they were successful it was
considered a good omen.
Then, there was the custom that the
first person of the opposite sex met
on Valentines day would be ones
Valentine for the entire year. In fact
Valentines day appears to rival Hal
lowe'en in queer customs.

Help, If You Can
These School Kids
Help Themselves

"Say, na'am, if you can, | wish
you would find some work for me, ?
said a sturdy, dark-eyed boy, as he
shyly but daterminedly approached
my desk, the other day.
One look at this young chap was
enough to tell me that he was real
ly in need, for his clothes bore the
look of having been in long, continu-
Gus, but careful service; also, one
could see that only certain and dire
need had brought him to my office,
for although his eyes bespoke cour-
age, at the same time they seemed
to say Il must stand my ground"
Looking first directly at me, then
down, he hesitatingly told me his
story of his struggle to stay in
school and at the same time keep
enough coming in to his home to
provide for his invalid mother and
three younger brothers and sisters.
But it was hard struggle. Just
another story of boy trying des-
perately to make something of him.
self against extreme odds.
"And you know, ma'am, / most all
ways have to quit school about this
time because / can't find much work
after three o'clock. But really want
to keep on going if / can, and that's
the reason / am coming to you to
ask if you can't help to find me some
thing to do after school and on Sat-
urdays."
And so it is with many boys and
girls in our city who are ambitious
enough to want to get just as much
schooling as possible and with your
help and mine, this can be done. We
have many such applications as this
one and each time we wish-O, so
much, that these little folks did not
have to carry such load of respon-
sibility-but after, all, men are made
in just that way.
And, in passing, if you happen to
know of any part-time work for these
young folks, please call the Chamber
of Commerce, phone 90. We as well
as they will appreciate your assist

LINCOLN'S TOMB is POPULAR
--5OO,OOO VISIT IN SIX YEARS

The shrine of Abraham Lincoln
probably is one of the most popular
historical places of visit in the United
States. The tomb in which Lincoln's
body lays, located in the Oak Ridge
cemetery, Springfield, H., is almost
completely covered with wreaths of
flowers presented by visitors from
both home and abroad.
Scores of wreaths, yearly, are laid
at the tomb of the emancipation.
Herbert w. Fay, custodian of the
Lincoln Memorial and effects of the
Civil war president, says that since he
was appointed to that post six years
ago, more than 100000 visitors have
registered at the tomb. Included in
these registrants were kings, queens,
premiers, presidents and other eXecut-
ives Of tsate. Those Of royal and Of
ficial position in foreign countries to
visit the memoriun, were the king
and queen Of Belgium, Lloyd George
Of England, Clemenceau Of France,
Prince Paul of Greece, Garibaldi of
Italy, and Queen Marie of Rumania.
The shrine also has been visited by
President Coolidge as vice president,
General John ]. Pershing, Edwin
Markham, American poet; Paderew-
ski, noted pianist and ex-premier of
Poland; Marion Talley, opera star;
Harry Lauder, Theodore Roosevelt,
Chief Justice Taft, when president,
and Woodrow Wilson.
Following his annual custom Presi-
dent Coolidge on Lincoln's birthday
sent a wreath to be laid at the foot
Of the casket of the martyred presi-
dent.
Up to 1907, visitors at the Lincoln
shrine numbered not more than 10000
annually. The last two years, Fay
says, have shown an average of 10000
interested visitors month or total
of about 10000 annually.
According to the records Of the reg
istrants, every country in the world
is represented.
Fay, an ardent admirer of Lincoln,
has collected effects of the emanci-
pator for 60 years and has one of the
most complete exhibitions of relics in
the world. Of the total number of
items of interest in Lincoln's time,
Fay has contributed more than 10000.
The Illinois legislature last session
passed a bill appropriating $4,000 to
provide 5000 feet of show cases to be
used in connection with Lincoln ex-
hibits. The cases when finished, Fay
states, will contain every epoch in the
life of the Civil war president ar
ranged in chronological order.

SHOULD PASS THE PROPOSED
HIGHWAY BILL SAYS STAR

The Tucson Star, democratic pa
per has this to say of the proposed
new highway bill, which sounds reas-
enable:
The biggest piece of legislation
the present legislature has attempt
ed, or any Legislature has attempted
in recent years-aside from the Co
dorado river questions the 80
page document that would abolish
the office of state engineer, revo-
lutiol1ize the system of expenditures
for highway work and appoint a
commission of five (from both par
ties) to manage the business of road
building in Arizona
The bill ought to pass.
The bill ought to be passed over
the governors veto-and it is a
foregone conclusion that the COVER
nor will veto a bill that strikes at
the heart of Huntism in this state.
Read some of the provisions of the
measure:
s'The commission of five would be
appointed by governor and be con-
firmed by the senate. No two men,
bers could be from the same county
and 10 more than three could be of
the same political faith. Any action
by the ommission-which is given
wide powers-could be taken with
four of the five members concurring.
Call connection between the high
way department and the board Of di-
rectors Of state institutions would
be severed, and maintenance of
highways placed in the hands of the
commission.
The commission would name the
stata highway engineer, who in turn
would name deputy and the en-
gineer would be in complete charge
of the construction, operation and
maintenance of the highway system
of the state at the pleasure of the
commission of five.
"a change in the administration
would not occasion a change in the
personnel of the commission nor IN
the operating personnel of the en-
ployes Of the state highway depart
ment. Commissioners would receive
SIS a day for each day, worked, not
to exceed 100 days per year. I'M
mediately upon appointment under
the terms Of the actr-which is de-
clared an emergency measure and
therefore HOI SupJeCt w eiiC ASASA Si.-
dun provisions of the state constl-
tution-the commission would make
provision for the payment OF the
highway departments debts, amount
ing to some 100000.
"Recess appointments must be
confirmed by the senate under the
terms of the bill and no recess ap-
pointment rejected by the senate
would be eligible for another ap-
pointment. Appointments made to
fill vacancies would be limited to the
unexpired terms filled.
contracts would be executed by
the commission of five except at
such times when that body empow-
cred the engineer to execute them,
and any construction involving an
