DAFFOD|LS BLOOM
AROUND BUNKERS
Gives a Pleasing View From
Clubhouse, but Doesn't
Help Linksmen.

4 "A identification Of course which
green's committeeman Of this
| country may or may not find inspiring
Daf1odils growing on the banks Of all
bunkers delighted the eye of the
American when he visited the North
Shore course, near Blackpool. Some
and when they burst into bloom 1t was
as though all the world had blossomed
in enhanced beauty.
The clubhouse veranda gave a view
Of practically the entire course and the
panorama of daffodillied bunkers which
met the eye wherever 1t turned was de-
lightful and inspiring to the lover of
nature If not to the hard-boiled golfer
who, 1t appears. Is inclined to resent the
fact that he may have to play bunk
cred ball out of a clump Of dafiies. He
regards the flowers as adding hazard to
course already sufficiently hazardous
and believes they add a-well, giggling,
undignified touch to the links.
VIII Plant More.
The bunkers, says the writer's in
formant, were being robbed by flower
lovers, principally old ladies, eager to
transplant the bulbs, and sentimental
girls. But next Spring there will be
further planting, and the conviction is
that the idea is going to spread.
Just how an attempt to carry this
pretty Old World idea into this country
would fare is extremely problematical.
Greens committees have trouble enough
as 1t is, without tackling Horticulture,
and one gathers that golf is too serious

ton that decorative theories would be
supported.

Oils Lead Demonstration

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, April 13.-Up to within
a short time Of the close todays stock
market was drifting affair, with the
price trend downward. The final deal
ings, however, were enlivened by a
demonstration in the oils in which the
leaders were the Pan-American issues.
Other oil stocks were taken in large
blocks at advances ranging from frac-
tons to points.
The general list rallied somewhat, in
sympathy with the oils.
Volume was very small. In the first
half hour the turnover was lower than
in any corresponding time this year,
showing that there was lack of outside
interest. 1t Is in the first half hour
that the accumulated overnight trans
actions are executed For the rest of
the time, professional operators bought
and sold to each other in liStless fashion.
A few specialties moved against the
trend, but without attracting any large
following. United Aircraft and Trans
port, which had gone up more than 10
points Friday. added 3 more points to
the gain today. International Com
buStion was strong. and there was buy
ing OF Air Reduction, perhaps because
of its large interest in u. S. Industrial
Alcohol. National Supply was in de-
mand, Postum Co. moved ahead and
Marine preferred gained ground.
The steels and the coppers were heavy
and most of the motors lower. Sponsors
for the steel stocks we're standing aside
awaiting terms of the new offering to
be made, to shareholders of United
States Steel next week. There was no
pressure on either United States Steel
or Bethlehem, but they ranged under
the preceding close. Anaconda was the
most active of the copper shares. only
point to two above the low of the
week.
For a time General Motors was in
demand, but the advance did not carry
through. Chrysler sagged and SO did
