Washington Letter
BY HERBERT C. PLUNTMER

WASHINGTON. Aug. I'm a little secondhand
book stall on the lower end Of Pennsylvania avenue
we made the acquaintance Of Don Piatt the other day.
Not in person, Of course. Don Piatt has been dead
many years.
In the sixties he had a wide reputation as a col
umnist. Daily he roved the streets Of the national
capital, gathering bits Of gossip from the hill to the
White House, and passing it on to thousands Of others
through his column.
In a yellowed and musty volume were some Of
these columns. Some Of them might as well have
been written today. Certainly much the same con-
ditions prevail now as in the days when Don Piatt
chronicled the customs and gossip Of the capital.
For instance, there was one devoted to the "at
homes" that one hears SO much about today. They
are the receptions held at stated intervals by the
wives Of the higher officials Of the government.
Don Plat has just completed an investigation Of
these affairs at first hand. In his own words he had
procured a hack-a hack that looked as if 1 owned a
dozen like it, all private carriages-and drove around
among the official people"
Rss
SILKS
He found that the great majority Of the callers
were women, gotten up regardless OF expense or ap-
pearance."
1T was a continuous stream Of rustling silks. No
one remained over five minutes, and 90 out Of the 100
made some remark about the weather. The poor
@1 - hs&AAG ~ n1&@I 01@1 %&AA
hear the weather complimented.
Il said to a lady, We have a first class article Of
sunshine today, and was rebuked by a friend. He
said it was believed I had taken too much punch.
1t is in society as in religion-all dull things are con-
sidered good. !.
I am told that a mass Of cards are left on these
occasions. The fair hostess selects a certain number
toinVite to her evening receptions, when there is more
and less talk about the weather"
HIRE A HACK
He comments further:
1T is the etiquet in Washington, soon as you ar
rive, to empty your trunk and hire a hack to drive
around and call on people. It Is not necessary to
know them or be known. If you have a paper collar
and a pair Of kid gloves, the official people are glad
to see you.
"They advertise to this effect in the Chronicle and
Inteligencer. ....
But if you have any doubt as to your social status
in this respect, call upon your immediate representa-
tive in the house and say that you want to be pre-
sented to all the officials wives in Washington and
such ladies as he may think Of. 49,.
IF you order your congressman to turn somer-
saults. or to stand on his head, he's got to do it-or
die trying"

year.
There is no way to Judge in what form any
Of them will be on any particular day. The
best of them all blow up. Hagen particularly
is cratic and Jones has his moods. It can
always be assumed, however, that Jones and
Hagen will be in there with the leaders, and
lot of golf people think that this pair viii
do the principal fighting for the title this year.
Hagen is one of che worlds greatest match
play golfers, for adversely seems to inspire
him to do his best work.
Last year he went to England primarily to
play In the open championship. but he ar
ranged special match with Archie Compston.
one of the best British pros, for side bet of
$4,000. And Compston gave him one of the
worst beatings a frst-class player ever took in
a prominent match.
They said that the Haig was through. His
game hadn't been so good through the Winter
tournaments But the sympathy extended to
the passing of a great player was wasted on
Hagen. He went into the open and won it.
lust recently he took the Ryder Cup team
to England. It was a team composed OF
the best American home-bred professionals that
was to play team of British pros and the
British gave Hagen and his team a FASTING.
But the Haig marched right over to Muirfeld
and brought the British open championship
cup home with him for the fourth time.
Consider the record of Hagen. He has won
the British open four times against the tough
est kind of competition. He won the Ameri-
can open championship in 1914 and 1919 and
was second in 1921 He won the champion
ship of the Professional Golfers Association
five times in seven years and won it four times
in succession In 1924, 1925. 1926 and 1927.
He won the Western open in 1916, 1921,
1926 and 1927 and finished second in 1922,
1928 and 1925 And he won the Metropolitan
open in 1919 and 1920.
Then consider also the record of the great
Jones. He was the runner-up in the amateur
championship in 1919 and he won it in 1924,
1925, 1927 and 1928 equaling the record Of
the illustrious Jerry Travers.

Destructive Moth.
Copyright, 1929

THE Department of Agriculture is out to see
that the codling moth is not coddled any
more. 1t is time that it be taken seriously.
Estimates now are that at least 20 per cent of
the crop OF apples and pears of the Pacific
Northwest are lost each year through the
destruction wrought by the worms of the moth.
In individual cases the loss runs as high as SO
per cent.
The moth Is nothing If not prolific and
two generations are produced each year during
the growing season. This means that it Is
vital that the trees in the orchards be sprayed
as r,any as six times season. The task while
heavy, is of extreme importance, the depart
ment points out, If the spread of the moth is
to be halted.

He is more than that. of course. He is very
fine golfer.
Until the closing rounds of the open cham
pionship last year, it had been thought that
a lack of competitive temperament and con-
fidence in his game handicapped his work.
It wasn't known generally that he had not
been in good health for years.
Those who had their doubts about him were
convinced of their error last year when he
came from behind and beat the great Jones
in play-off round for the title. No one who
hadn't plenty of heart and daring courage
could have played the game that Farrell played
to beat Jones'
On the list Of more than 100 golfers who will

including Willie Macfarlane, Tommy Armour,
Bill Mehlhorn, Gene Sarazen, Jim Barnes,
Jock Hutchinson, Macdonald Smith, Bobby

But the general opinion is that either Jones
or Hagen viii come thrcugh-or young Horton
Smith.
THE Mamaroneck course Is one of the SPORT
lest in the country From the sixth tee,
the player drives between a lane of trees and
directly in front Of the green is a circle Of
traps and deep gully. Behind the green is
a ravine full of trees.
The 188-yard tenth hole is known as the
most hazardous hole in America because of
the deep ditch that traverSes the fairway, and
its heavily terraced green circled by dangerous
traps.
The eleventh hole has a fairway bumped
and ridged at all angles and a deep gully cuts
across it, Woods close on the left and ravine
to the left of the green are further cause for
worry.
Another heartbreaker on the course is the
unlucky thirteenth, a single shot hole of 213
yards. which must be played from tee to green
directly to avoid traps on the sloping fair
way and at both sides of the green.
course like this, and some keen open COM
petition offer the prospect for a tournament
that will make history.

This year it will be a particularly tough

All this discussion of Jones and Hagen, to
the exclusion OF the other fine golfers who
are to be seen at Mamaroneck, Is not intended
to mean that Jones and Hagen viii be in COM

to the opinion that here might be the young

Handsome in his physical appearance, most
pleasant in his demeanor and q great golfer

take the word of the older fellows who have
been there. I'm just getting experience on this

Winter, but you need more than luck on the
other SIDE"
Figuring the scores made in the British

score for ~ rounds of competition was 5,597
which gave him average of 70 53-77 strokes.

He won the Pensacola open with a score of
