While the rule book gives you five minutes in which to find the lost ball, it is not always in keeping with good golf form to take the full time limit
 You'll find golfers who abuse the privilege and the time limit. They stall around in the rough looking go through so fast they look like d parade.
 It is very seldom necessary 10 search long for a lost ball if you watch the flight from the tee and mark its landing place. If you and your partners can't find it on the first or second trip over the spot where it landed. you proba bly could look all night and not find it.
 In match or medal play. the rule book gives you i've minutes before the penalty can be declared. The penalty for lost ball is one stroke and. the new ball is dropped as near as possible to the spot where the ball was lost.
 In tournament play you naturally will take the full time limit to look for the ball before declaring the penalty. but. in an ordinary four some play. it is not always polite to take ive minutes to look for ball. The ball is usually found in few moments unless tt is hcpelessly lost.
 You'll find many good golfers making it policy to allow one foursome to play through while looking for lost ball and if the ball isn't found by that time they throw out another ball and move on.

Board Call Idea Re
volutionary

WASHINGTON, July 23.-Pj-
The Methodist board of temperance,
prohibition and public morals gives
it's interpretation Of the much dis
cussed reference to modification"
Of the prohibition laws in the let
ter Of George w. Wickersham,
chairman Of President HoOver's
law enforcement commission. read
at the recent governors conference.
In that letter, addressed to Gov
ernor Roosevelt Of New York, the
commission chairman suggested that
enforcement responsibility be def
initely divided between the federal
and state governments, and that,
if this were done, national and
state laws might be modified SO as
to become reasonable and enforce
able"
Mr.. Wickersham,' the Methodist
board says, makes use of the UNI
fortunate word modification in a
paragraph which seems to suggest
an adjustment Of state and federal
statutes for the purpose Of facili-
tating cooperation in enforcement.
Interpretation Of modification to
imply that state laws may be en-
acted which in fact legalize alcohol
content in beverages prohibited BY
the federal ( Institution, is, we be-
lieve, an entirely mistaken one"
The statement says st is not at
once apparent why the enforcement
commission chairman's suggestions
should be considered revolution
ary."
I'm brief, Mr.. Wickersham sug-
gested, ID enactment in all the
states of prohibition enforcement
laws, and % a recognized defini-
ton of federal and state response
bilities in prohibition enforcemenS
with the federal government limit
ing its activities to a di2charge Of
purely federal functions, and the
states doing the detail police and
judicial work necessary for the sup
preston of the illegal retail liquor
trade.
