 al amateur championship was about
 as unsatisfactory golf tournament
 as has been staged as major
 event in a long time. The elimna- | tion of Bobby Jones in the first
 round took the zest out of the com petition, as ar as the general pub | lie was concerned.
 Goodman's victory was greeted in stunned silence by 10000 people who were there to see Jones win
 or at least follow his custom of go- ing to the finals. The Pacific Coast folks would not be denied their cheers for Dixies son and cheered
 him, more than the shots of the contestants, the next day when
 Bobby refereed a match.
 The gallery sensed that there is something wrong in golf when the greatest golfer of the day can be put out of championship tourna- ment even though he plays a bet ter medal game than his opponent, Resentment for the hero's defeat fingered through the tourney ani made the gallery behave curiously for golf crowd.
 They rooted for player from the midwest instead of pulling for the Pacific slope representative That may have been because the crowd liked Johnston's personality better than Dr. Willing's.. But when they booed the dentists shots and moan ed Johnston's misses, the gallery in troduced a feature that is usually lacking in golf matches. Such :, display is foreign to the royal game.
 Sports writers attributed it to the fact that Willing did not concede the short puts to his opponent. There is a gesture of sportsman ship about giving ones opponent those troublesome little shots on the greens, that is appealing to the gallery It appears 10 keep match play a friendly affair. But it is sportsmanship of a higher order for both players to insist that they De allowed to play out all shots.
 That is golf and one great reason why all important championships on the links should be decided bv stroke play. Then every shot counts. No one can concede any, thing if he would. The unsports- manshlp stymie does not exist and golf is golf. Under the conditions of an open tournament the gallery behaves according to the other tra- diuons of golf etiquette and not liIls the bleacher crowd at a baseball game.

 Dvnny adds that youth is on the side of Battalino. Routi5 Is 29 years old and has beer fighting for 10 years with a style that is bound to sap his strength His recent losses bear out this statement. On the other hand, Battalno is only 22 years old md is just reaching the peak of his power.
 Many others are of the opinion also that Battalino will bring the featherweight championship 10 Con- necticut, the second the state has had in recent years. Battalino is headed for bigger and better things, should he come through and it looks as if every fight fan in the state who s able will see the battle.

Everyday Psychology
Meaning of Speech.
BIZ DIR. JESSE W. sPRowLs.

Once in while you still run across
that old picture entitled Cant You
Take" or something like that. Any
way, the child In the picture is wonder
ing why the dog has nothing TO say.
Back in the days of our grandmothers,
anthropomorphic art was in good taste,
because a correspondingly childish phi
losopliy dictated the sort OF questions
that were asked about behavior.
II has been said that animals do not
talk for the simple reason that they
have nothing to say This must mean
that they have no ideas. At this point
I seem to recall definition in my old
school grammar, which stated that
words were signs of ideas.
Now the old picture plus the old say
ing plus the definition IN the grammar
lead to one conclusion: Speech is con-
nected with ideas. To go step farther,
the larger your vocabulary, the larger
vollr storehouse of ideas. So much Tor
very-day philosophy and old-time ped
In these latter days psychology has
fallen from grace. 1t takes nothing Tor
granted. It is content to take note
merely of the facts of behavior, wnetner
the behaving is done by DOG or human
being.
speech is movement. The larger your
vocabulary, the more numerous are the
movements you are able to make when
confronted with something that calls
for ''yerbal behavior" Speech Is there
fore. in the modern sense of the term,
a system of reaction patterns. You &C
ouire your speech patterns in exactly
the same way you acquire every otner
habit.
Our distant ancestors tried first one
scheme (word). then another. until they
found one that worked. And the ones
that worked were the ones that were
handed on to us as sort of social heri-
tage in the form OF dictionary Ano
so it happens that you simply initiate
these movements-that is, you learn the
meaning of words at school. Your
speech, then. is merely an acquired
stock of movements found to be success
full in the presence Of so many different
situations.

Bonds That Bind.

We have had few inquiries about
bond maturities. BY that is meant. Of
course, the date at which bonds are re-
deemed. There seems to be a notion
among some women investors that long
term bonds offer greater advantages
for payment in 2 years.
In other words some women investors
think a bond that has 20 years to run
is better than bond which falls due
for payment in two years.
AS a matter of fact, short-term bonds.
or bonds that will mature in few
years, offer greater price stability than
long-term ones. What is true of bonds
applies to notes and debentures as well.
An example of this will illustrate the
point clearly and simply.
Today high-grade bonds are yielding
abou 434 per cent. If you buy high
grade AZ per cent bond that yields an

Suppose now that a year hence bond
Yields increase to per cent. 1t means
that the bond that cost you $3.50 Ere

bond) will cost buyers a year hence
$3.50, and If you were compelled TO sell
that is the price that you would receive
for It,
! we trust you have borne in mind in
the above example that we have been
citing the case Of long-term bond.
Suppose the same bond is going to
mature in years rather than is
or 20. At its present yield of AZ per
cent 1t would be selling at about 1892. so.
Two years from now II high-grade bonds
were yielding per cent your bond
would be worth $99750.
The reason, Of course, is that ma

SUB ROSA
By MIMI.

Some guy has calculated Just how
long it takes modern girl to dress
The modern frock Is, Of course, q swift
one, so that dressing Is a matter OF
seconds. The buttons are few and they
use no hooks. But that Is no excuse
TO- putting the stop-watch on the bou-
doir.
It isn't speediness which makes a
girls outfit charming. She may be
able to dress as fast as fireman an
| swering an alarm, but she doesn't want
| to look as though she we're on her way
to a fire. A better question than the
one about speed is that of purpose.
For whom does girl dress? It's
natural to think that the gentle art of
attiring is for the purpose of attracting
masculine attention. She does see a
man when she looks behind her mirror,
but the masculine motive isn't enough.
No, because the average man, which
includes about all Of 'em, has very
little knowledge of silk and satin, and
If you ask him what a girl wore on a
certain occasion the answer he makes
never convictS him. He's innocent OF
any knowledge on the subject Of proper
attire.
other people have the notion that a
girl dolls up for the purpose of putting
Others in the shade. She's motivated
her attire in the light of what the other
girls will wear. There, again, you have
the man idea butting in again, since
the girl wants to be all set for compe-
Tition when the boys romp in.
Perhaps the whole business Of dress
ing has the trouSSeau idea behind 1t. A
girl is a kind of pretty spider who uses
ner clothes to spin web for the adj
venturous ny. After she's married she
may let up on dress, but II she's sel1si-
BILE she'll keep on dressing right in the
home.
But, after all, it's safest to assume
that a girl dresses for herself. She
wants to make an impression upon her
mirror. Her frock is a part of her per-
sonality. the expression of her woman
hood, the genuine feathers of real
bird.
Nowadays a girl trusts to nature to
make her appearance appealing. except
in the matter of cosmetics. She re-
fuses to trust Dame Nature to give her
the proper tint. But her frock is a
natural creation without any of the arti-
fatalities of the old-style costume worn
by women in the days of heavy dressing.
TIE be well dressed a girl must be slim
and speedy. We live in q zippy age
when slow-moving danes are OUT of
style. When we are neatly, appropri-
ately and modestly clad we have
right to brag about 1t. Taste is better
than speed.

good for a girl of your height. Choose

the blouse of another contrasting color.
Horizontal lines and ruffles will tend to
make your figure look shorter. Avoid
the straight, beltleSs dress If you wish
to appear shorter. Skirts that fare or
have godetS are becoming and your skirt
should be neither very long nor ex-
tremely short for everyday wear. For
evening the long flowing back and short
front or uneven hemline, with huge bows
and stirring, Is smart. Avoid conspicu-
Gus colorS and remember that for your
type the elegance Of simplicity in good
materials is in much better taste than
extreme styles. 80 A permanent wave

HEAVY HANaNas REQUIRE POLES.

home, do not forget to suit the rods to
the style Of draperies used and to the
windows themselves. There are enough
kinds Of window rods to choose from
for all requirements to be met. For
heavy draperies curtain poles may be
needed rather than metal rods. These
poles will take the heaviest textiles
without sagging, which is a feature
not to be overlooked. The fixtures that
hold the poles must be as sturdy as the
poles demand for their draperies.
