TEXAS LUNATlCS
TO TAKE UP GOLF
State Lays Out Course on
Grounds of Asylum.

Austin, Texas.-Lively times are In
prospect on the new golf course which
the state board of control Is laying
out on the grounds of the state insane
asylum at Austin. Inmates of the In
stitution make 1t their principal topic
of discussion, and they are already
preparing to challenge some of the
best golf players of the state for
match games. 1t Is the theory of r.
B. Walthall, chairman Of the board of
control, that playing golf will result
in much physical and mental benefit to
insane patients. The board Is prepar-
ing to establish golf courses at all of
the other nine insane asylums, SAM
tariums, training schools and hospitals
of the state.
"Some of the institutions have more
ground than others, but we shall see
to 1t that all get golf courses" Mr..
Walthall said ut will be recon-
mended to superintendent that they
set certain hours of the day for GER
tain groups in order that all may get
few rounds every day. If this can
be arranged, the 1000 inmates Mt the
San Antonio asylum, 1000 at the Ter
rell asylum and 1000 at the Austin
asylum will get in their daily Dozen
The Wichita Falls insane hospital has
but 1,02S inmates.
"Many of these inmates already are
doing outdoor work, such as garden
ing, but some kind of sport also is
needed. Most of these institutions
raise their own garden truck and have
dairies that produce sufficient milk
and butter. This largely reduces the
state expenses and nearly all of the
work is accomplished by patients. We

building at San Antonio and they
thoroughly enjoyed the labor. 1t did

Marines Good Behavior

Tientsin.-A foreigners treatment

deals is taken by old-timers in China
as good test of that foreigners
character Americans in Tientsin
therefore have taken pride in the fact
that not single case has been re-
ported Of trouble between rikisha
pullers and the $500 American troops
here-3,0O0 marines and 800 of the
Fifteenth infantry-since the marines
arrived eight months ago.
Clashes between foreigners and
rikisha coolies are not uncommon In
the Orient Some passengers are
sticklers for the legal fare while
many of the coolies are truculent. The
marine and the rikisha boy, how
ever, are good friends. The coming
of the Third marine brigade has
proved blessing to the thousands of
rikisha coolies who swarm Tientsin
streets seeking precarious living
Last winter hundreds Of them spent
days on the bitter cold streets With.
out picking up fare. Now there are
hardly enough rikishas to meet the
| demand. And the American leather
neck or doughboy Is not disposed to
argue about n few cents after the
Chinese fashion; hence new prosper
ity for the rikisha boy.
John V. A. .MacMurray, American
minister, expressed official praise
over the behavior of the men In Tient-
sin, saying that 1t had contributed
toward that better understanding
which we all hope to see grow and de-
velop in China"

Worlds Great Writers
Found Work Loborious

On one occasion, John Ruskin was
being interviewed by a reporter, who
expressed his admiration of the SEEM
ing ease with which that great mas
ter of prose produced his books.
"My dear sir,' said Ruskin, you
have no idea of the labor and pain
1t Is to me to write. l will show you
great writer's work, who could
write as easily-as you have justly
said-as the flow of water in a river"
He thereupon produced the MS. of
Scott's Fortunes of Nigel" and con-
tinued. Examine that; 1t is just as
Scott wrote 1t, in his own clear, neat
hand" Then he showed the inter
viewer the manuscript of one of his
own works, which he had just fin
ished. 1t was mass of alterations
and erasures-scarcely one sentence
remaining as 1t was originally written.
Thus it has almost always been
with the giants of literature. Car
lyle's manuscript was the despair of
the compositors, because of the mani
fold alterations and interpretations.
Emerson Is said to have often spent
from six months to year over the
compositions of one or two short es-
says. His object was to condense his
thoughts into the fewest possible
words. Hawthorne "passed the day
in writing stories, and the night in
burning them'-so hypercritical was
he regarding his own work.
r. l.. Stevenson confessed to have
rewritten whole chapters of one of his
books as often as five or six times, and
one chapter eight times himself, once
by his wife--his wife's version being
the second last.
Alphonse Daudet, in speaking of his
method of work, said: 81 write slowly,
very slowly, and revise and revise.

Joint Ease
Tablet for Craze of
Famous Lady Godiua

OF the fair Lady Godiva, the most
romantic feminine figure in English
legend, every child has heard, but how
maAy who are grown up could say
where she is supposed to be buried?
The lovely wife of Leofric, earl Of
Mercia and lord of Coventry, died
probably shortly before 1885 and was
buried in a porch Of the Benedictine
Abbey church, which stood on Hill top,
Coventry, and by which, 1t Is most
probable, she passed that day when
she rode unclothed through the an
Gent city to obtain the peoples re-
lief from the burdensome toll imposed
by her hard-hearted husband.
On that spot now stands 8 Pri-
DRY row, the offices Of the Coventry
insurance committee, and in order
that the unique historic interest of it
may definitely be fixed an appeal is
being made for funds for a commem-
orative bronze tablet.

MAYOR AFTER POLICE
 IN PHILADELPHIA Places Force on Basis of Fittest and Most
 Honest

Philadelphia, Sept. 29 UP)- Mayor Harry A. Mackey has placed the Philadelphia police force on a basis of the survival of the fittest- and the most honest.
 The police. many of whom are charged with accepting bribes from bootleggers and proprietors of dis orderly houses. are going to have to work against each other from now on. and any captain who doesn't bring in true and complete re- 1 port of vice conditions in his dis trict will be reduced to the rank of ! patrolman or fired.
 | Goaded by the failure of his po- licemen to clean up the city after six weeks of investigation by 6 grand jury, Mackey has decided 10 resort to the most drastic police shake-up ever ordered in large American city.
 | It was about month ago after the grand jury had unearthed evil dence pointing to wholesale bribery and the existence of liquor syndi- cate that had made profits of ap- proXimately 10000, ,000-that Mack ey sent out the word for police to clean up the city in 2 hours or get out.
 Three days after that order went out, special detectives working un- der District Attorney John Monag- han, were still raiding disti!lerics in tho cb Of N;t 1,oI police are under arrest. and Monae- han predicts that others will be talk ] en into custody soon.
 Today every police captain in the city will receive orders 70 tile re- port Monday Oh conditions in his district. Then every policeman in the city will be moved to a new district, with none of them knowing his des- tination until he gets his orders. 1 Again the captains will ke re- quired to file rcports-this time on conditions in their new districts,
 Mackey will take the reports and check them against one another. If {, important discrepancies are found. an investigation will be made and the erring officer punished. l Monaghan announced that indict- . ments would De returned against several policemen on Monday and that the defendants would he put on 1 trial as fast as the courts could take care of their eases.
 Yesterday 'le civil service con- mission took I'D the case against Charles Beckman. captain of ietec- , tives who has been suspended. Pros- ecutors brought out the fact that while Beckman had earned only about 2S.000 in salary since Ee joined the force in 1913. that he had cash securities and property amounting to about $74,000. Police Captain Charles Cohen, re- leased under S15,000 bail on a charge of extortion, has disappeared. 1 He is said to have left town in an automobile with his wife yesterday.
 Joel D. kerper. who pleaded guilty to selling liquor to persons high in Philadelphia society. was fined s20,000 and sentenced to 1s months in the federal penitentiary at Atlanta yesterday. It was the heaviest fine ever assessed in feder- al court here.

fSpecial to the ueraldl


 Washington, D. C., Sept. 29.-New Britain has a population of 72,SOO, lit was announced today by the census bureau.
 The announcement is in the an- nual estimate of municipal popula- tions and the figure given for New Britain is that estimated for July 1 last. The 1928 estimate gives New Britain a population increase of about l2,000 since 1920 when the official census showed New Britain to have 59,316 persons.
 A large number of cities were not included in the estimates for this year. it being explained that no es- innate had been given for these municipalities who "are in the habit of kicking" each year be- cause estimates are too low. The estimates are entirely on paper, do not include any canvassing and are based upon Comparisons of estimates for previous years based on the 1920 official census. Nor do the estimates include any annexations that city may have accomplished since 1920. The bureau admits that in some cases the figures given out may be far from correct"
