The Once Over
ARCHERY, GOLF AND HOMICIDE
BY H. I. PHILLIPS

Claims that the intelligence Level in America is
rising have been ruined again. This time by the in
PRODUCTION of a new game combining golf with
archery.
At Palm Beach, Miami, Ormond and other winter
resorts foursomes composed of two players with golf
clubs and two with bows and arrows have been dis
porting about the links, thereby adding UNNECESSARILY
to the perils of each game.
1t is the pinnacle of freakish pastimes. but you've
got to admit that the presence of a few careless per-
sons with bows and arrows on any golf course does a
lot to speed up the ancient Scotch game.
No golf player is going to feel like striking a series
of plastic poses on a green when there is an impa-
tent flapper so yards away waiting to propel an ar
low capable of piercing a one-inch plank.
There are many things that may crannp a golfers
style but few things will wreck it like an arrow in his
plus-fours.
Not even q Bobby Jones could retain his form and
oomposure on a golf course if he felt and looked like
an early Pilgrim father upon whose anatomy a blood
thirsty Indian had just scored a b~ulls-eye.
The more one thinks about this bow and arrow
innovation the more one concludes that for the pur-
pose of speeding up the game archery paraphernalia
might we'll be a legitimate part of every golfers
equipment. II would work wonders in the worthy
cause of reducing the players on crowded links.
Nothing, in fact, would do more to open up the
game and the course on a Saturday or Sunday than
bows and arrows, except pistols.
Pistols. of course, would be ideal.
They are what golf has always needed, and needs
today more than ever.
Combine golf with rabbit shooting and you would
get a game that would make a man think twice be-
fore he played it. And there is the real trouble with
golf: people don't think twice before they take it up.
They don't even think once.
Why will a woman. who can't hit a ball farther
than her grandmother can hurl a paper plate, go out
day after day for a jolly eighteen holes? Why viii a
man, who requires a dozen practice swings (O to
drive a ball as far as his wife can throw a fistful of
confetti, fool around all summe with every club in
his bag? Why will a group of four d~oddering mer-
chants in knee-trousers spend more time on a putting
Answer: Because the players Immediately behind
them have no deadly weapons!
This archery idea, after all, is not to be condemn
ed. 1t holds out a lot Of promise.

GYPSY CAMP o

Brown has lived among the no.
madic troubadonrs and studied
their customs and songs in many
parts of the world, in India, where
they originated, and in Europe,
Africa and America. A book, Deep
Song" tells of his adventures
abroad. He himself told of others
right here in Manhattan, where no
unconstitutional glade but the plas-
ter walls of vacant store buildings
hid them.
Nowhere are the gypsies more
picturesque or primitive, he says,
than here in the city. The tribes
of Tibet are no more ~secretive Or
inaccessible. Brown himself has no
idea how many come and go. Some
times he finds 40 camping in an
east side hall, sometimes 400.

Six Weeks to Be Taken in
Aerial Survey Set for

WASHINGTON, Dec. 19.-Sound-
ings Of the water below, and Of the
air above with automatic radio
equipped balloons, will be part of
the program of scientific observa-
tions to be made by the Graf Yep
pelin when it flies over the north
polar regions next spring. The
flight is to be made under the aus
pices of the International Society
for Arctic research by Aircraft, gen
orally known as Aeroarctic
According to present plans, the
expedition will start on April l,
from Tromso, Norway, the Euro
pean base, and is expected to take
a total of six weeks. After a pre-
liminary fight to Spitzbergen, to &C
quaint the scientific staff with life
on an airship, the first long fight
will be made, skirting Spitzbergen
on the southwest, across the Arctic
ocean between Greenland and the
pole to Beaufort sea, thence across
Alaska to Fairbanks, where a moor
ing mast, and full equipment for
handling an airship will be ready
A mooring mast also is provided at
Tromso.
Area UnexplOred
The next flight will be over the
great uneXplored area between
Alaska and the pole; from Fair
banks northwest, across Trangoll
Island, then north to within 200
miles of the pole and back to Alaska,
paralleling part of the first flight.
The third flight will be to return
to Tromso by way of Northern
Land and Franz Josef Land. AS
Northern Land represents a large
unexplored area, the ship will cruise
around over it. If feasible, a party
will be landed, with sledges and
equipment, and left to return to
civilization over the ice.
In addition to the upper air OBJ
servationS, and the oceanographic
research, investigations will be made
on the electricity of the atmosphere,
on the magnetism of the earth and
In meteorology.
Leader Is Veteran
DR.. Fridtjof Nansen, veteran Arc
tic explorer, will be the head of
the expedition, while DR.. Harold U.
Sperdrup will be second. Captain
e. A. Lehman, who took the Graf
Zeppelin back to Germany after it's
last visit to America, will command
the ship. The scientific staff will
number twelve, while a crew of
tl1irty-five will be carried. AS in
former trips, the engines of the ship
will burn gas, supply of which is
being provided at Tromso and Fair
banks. This gas consists largely of
ethane and propane, two compounds
OF hydrogen and carbon.
The expedition really is a recon-
Nuisance one, DR.. Bleistein empha-
sized. 1t will determine the feast
bility of exploration by airship, and
of landing parties on the ice. Should
1t prove successful, it doubtless will
be the forerunner of future Arctic
flights, on still larger airShips, thus
exploring thoroughly all the Arctic
regions in far more complete man
ner than is possible on the ground.
