 But that was merely the tulmin- atng point in & career of useful ness. His achievements in this country, before he became an am- bassador. were equally note worthy.

FORGED TO BUILD!

By Leslie Grafton
 ] have decided to break ground for a new house at once.
 l cant afford it and do not need it, but if the children are to enjoy the same advantages at their friends they must have a better home 10 stay away from. My wife needs it also. Since she has become a sports woman she must have larger and finer establishment to neglect if she is to hold her own at the Country Club.
 There is no prestige in our town in being away from the modest dwelling in which we have been so happy. At the minimum, we should have a s50,000 house and a four car garage. A two-car affair does not look substantial when standing empty these days. Nearly everybody drives away in four or five cars be- fore lunch and returns just before hrea k fast.
 If we are 10 maintain our posi- ton We must either build a house three times as large as we need or move into an apartment one third as big as our present home!

BRITAIN FACES POLITICAL
 ONERTCRN


 necessarily have to turn out as the preliminary by-elections indicate, but it would be impossible to convince the betting fraternity in England that the general election in May will not reflect what has so far occurred in the various constituencies where members Of parliament were elect ed. These constituencies seem to have habit Of voting against the party in power; i. c.. the ConserNa- tives. There seems to be little doubt that the country is strongly opposed to the do-nothing policies of the Baldwin government.
 The general election in May-thc exact date not yet being tlNed-Ulll be q three-rng affair and already all three parties are huslly engaged in campaigning On tho one hand [ Slt'lliIT I l'llll'f i'Li " Ill anu il'9 Conservatives. faced with the neces- Sity of explaining why nothing has been done 10 amoIiorato unomploy- ment conditions. on inc other side stand Lloyd George, head Of the 1 Liberals again rising from the dust T. ,t,r, Irtr fa1 he land. and Ramsey NacDonald chief of the Labor party, which makes q direct and definite appeal 10 the surgine discontent Of the masses.
 The by-olections held so far have shown large gains for Liberals or Labor. Combined, the Liberal and Labor parties seem to swamp the Conservatives on every sector II is the general opinion that none ot 1 the three parties will have a clear majority after the general election, and that it will dcvolve upon the Liberals and Labor parties 10 form q coalition government. with Lloyd George or Mcdonald at the helm.
 Observers in the United States can scarcely hep concluding that the Conservative government un- der Baldwin has been a peculiarly inept affair. The trouble with the Conservatives is they are too much like their name implies.
 The outcome in the North Lsnark district, high class division in Scotland, indicates which way the tide is turning The Middletown Press gives succjnct summary:
 The Conservative party had held it for years and it named a scion Of an old aristocratic family. Lord Scono, 10 make the run. The Liberal party nominated a woman Of the middle class. Miss Mitchell. The Labor party sent 10 the polls a girl of A, daugh- ter CT 8 miner. who had educated herself and had become q teacher, Miss Jennie Lee.
 The campaign was entertaining, Miss Lee proved by far the better dcbater When the votes were count cd it was found she had won by a ma ajority over both tine others. Sure ly the old order is passing.
 The significance in this outcome can he better understood when it Is remembered how arjstocracy and the middle class have dominated British politics for centuries. This victory also indicates the growing power Of women in government over there. This is no surprise when it is remembered that no less than 5.0bg.Ho1 more women will vote this Year than ever before the additions .inCluding those between the ages Of 2l and 90 years

Shields Sets
Golf Pace in
District Meet
Veteran Star Two Strokes
to Good as Final
Round Starts.
BY DICK MILLER

With the final eighteen holes of
play in the indianapolis District Golf
Association f1fty-four-hole tourna-
ment scheduled for today at Broad
moor and with Frank Shields, Me-
ridian Hills and Indianapolis Coun-
try Club star, ahead Of the field by
two strokes, the veteran golfer held
an edge believed by many 10 be
enough to carry him to victory. His
score for thirty-Six holes was 1853.
However, with Dick Cant, leader
at the end of eighteen holes at High
land Monday, in second place with
1856 and tied for that honor with
Bill Reed Sr., there was a chance
that either of the two might slip in
sensational round at Broadmoor
today and overtake Shields.
Play Tuesday, the second leg of
eighteen holes, was held over the
difficult Meridian Hills course. With
a high wind blowing the scores of
most of the entrants mounted over
those turned in Monday at High
land.
Shields, who had turned in 78
Monday, came home with a fine Is,
while Cant, who had played rs
Monday found trouble and finished
with an 30.
Bill Heinlein, who had a rs Mon
day, finished the first nine at Me-
ridian Hills with a SO and bid to
finish the Tuesday round in another
80, but found trouble on the seven
teenth.
A shot into a sand trap, q poor
out, a shanked iron shot and three
puts gave him an eight and he fin
ished with an 81, which with his rs
of Monday sent him into tie for
fifth place with Bill Diddel. They
had 1853 each.
Jack Tuitte, Highland golfer, who
plays consistent golf, shot a 70
Tuesday, which with his 78 of Mon
day gave him fourth position with
1877.
Ben Cohee, Meridian Hills play
er who had n Monday. kept up
his work and played an 81 Tuesday
that gave nim seventh position.
Eddie thinner, defending cham
pion, found the going rough Tues
day and the best he could do in his
efforts to overtake the leaders after
his 81 of Monday was rs, and he
was in eighth place with 159.
Net honors for the 36 holes we're
held by Dick Cant, who had al,
one stroke ahead of Sammy Simp-
son, and Chester Jewett, who had
142. Jack Tuitte had 143, E. Coop
er Earring and Ora Harrell, IA, and
E. A. Woods, 145.
The winner of the tournament will
receive the French Lick Springs
Hotel trophy, donated by Tom
Taggart Jr. 1t must be won three
times for permanent possession.
There will be other prizes for low
gross and net scores.
