First Move to Regulate Speed Boats
In Washington Channel Made Today

Brennan expressed the belief that an
act of Congress March 3, 1899, relative
to the control of the wharf property
along the channel gives the Commits
sioners sufficient authority to restrict
the speed of boats, but suggested to
Col. Ladue that Corporation Counsel
William w. Bride be asked for an off1-
cial ruling on the question. The War
Department also has authority 10 regu-
late the speed of craft in the channel,
he pointed out, but the enforcement Of
any regulations it might promulgate
would fall back on the municipal
government. Under these circumstances.
he thinks municipal regulation should
be adopted, u necessary. sSS. g. =, ~

Cure Worse Than the Bite.

Crossing the English Channel was a
worse business in early days than now.
This is how our ancestors sought to
evade unpleasant effects:
Take one ounce of strip of Glove
gillyfloWers, one drachm of confectio
alchermeS, one ounce and a half Of
borrage water and the like of mint
water, one ounce of mountford water
and as much cinnamon water, temper
all these together in a cordial and take
q spoonful at time when at sea.

The first move ever made to regu-

Washington channel was initiated to-
day by Roland M. Brennan. chief clerk

speed are causing a heavy wash, which

SOusa's Radio Plans

From the Asheville Times.

From the Asheville Times.
John Philip SouSa, hitherto declining
to broadcast, takes another viewpoint
and will give q series of nine concerts
over a coast-to-coaSt network under the
sponsorship Of General Motors Ccrpo-
ration. Damrosch, gratified by the sue
cess OF his series of educational concerts
agrees to give most of his time tc
teaching the people by radio q better
appreciation of music.
All of which makes for the sound cul-
ture Of music. The field for Damrosch
especially will be widened, and he Is a
great music educator.
Sousa'S engagement suggests novel
possibilities of additional alliances be-
tween commerce and the musicians art
Is 1t not particularly appropriate that
the march king" with accelerated
tempo, should be put on programs I'M
der the auspices of the automobile man
ufacturerS? Already we have concerts
supported by those who continually ad-
wise us to reach for this or that ciga-
rette instead of a sweet, a bowl Of oat-
meal or piece of pie. United States
Steel may inspire concerts featuring the
Anvil Chorus"
The realm of this new education is
unlimited. Millions will be encouraged
to learn the natural history Of Vitamins
in many brands of breakfast or lunch
con foods because Of concerts made
possible for them by humanitarian
manufacturers and wholesalers.
Thus will the music Of the spheres
more and more come down to make its
local habitation among us, at the same
time making us more familiar with the
virtues of bacon, barley, buckwheat
cakes, suspenders, sport socks, yeast. or
psychiatry. The marriage of the ideal
and the real is being consummated.

The New Golf Ball.

Golfers will doubtless regard with
mixed emotions the edict Of the United
States Golf Association that beginning
on January /, 1881, the standard ball
will be increased in size and decreased
in weight For five years experiments
have been conducted by the association
to devise better ball." and the recent
announcement is the result of what the
test committee claims is the develop
ment of ball that is easier to hit, bet
ter controlled, sticks to greens" and
beautiful for putting. Its only diSad-
vantage appears to lie in slight loss Of
yardage, but the committee believes
that this factor will be amply compen-
stated for by truer flight and q pleas
anter ball for play in all departments
of the game.
The new ball may be all that its
sponsors claim, but the vast army OF
golfers will probably adopt the SHOW
me" attitude. OF course, on the face OF
it any ball that will make it easier for
buffers to play the grand old game-and
the duffer Is too often neglected in the
golf scheme of things-will probably re-
ceive merited support. The dub, how
ever, must not expect too much from
the new pellet. Some Of them would
need golf balls the size of croquet balls
and cups the size of barrels along with
automatically operating clubs to i'm
prove their score. For this class OF
golfer the new ball will probably make
no difference, in fact nothing would
make any difference.
It is the average class and the skill
full class which may expect to benefit
The long hitters will find, 1t Is esti-
mated, q loss of six yards, two In the
carry" and four in the roll" In their
northumberland -fifty-yard wood shots.
The loss of distance will be correspond
ingly smaller according to the force
with which the ball is hit. The average
golfer, and he is the linksman who sup
ports the game and provides the where
withal for the construction Of the mag
nificent courses that dot the entire
country, who specializes in the exact
ness of his short game, will find, ac-
cording to the committee, that his scores
will show immediate improvement.

the satisfaction Of every one. there 10

firing line in her adopted State. The
Illinois Republican arena is about as
colorful, not to say chaotic, realm
as any in which American statesman
ship disports itself. That Ruth Hanna
Mccormick has risen to the crest there
is tribute enough to her acumen in
that embattled and embittered field
called politics.
Representative Mccormick takes on
no unworthy steel in challenging Charles
S. Deneen to a combat to the death.
Since he came to the Senate. Mr..
Deneen has substantially enhanced his
prestige as a Republican leader in ILL
nois by administering a knockout blow
to the nauseous Thompson machine in
Cook County. He has also won a strong
place for himself in the Senate.
The Hoover administration may be
expected to maintain a hands-of atti-
tude in the Deneen-McCornick i'm
nroglio, but the Senator's Republican
regularity in these insurgent times at
Washington is at least designed to do
him no harm in the esteem Of his
party's national leadership.
