Take 1t, HeLen!
Grab That $4,000 Be-
queSt-Bobby Jones'
Advice.

bN CntL6U Eftt6
NEW YORK, Aug. 23.-Helen
~ Wills Moody ought to take
the $4,000, Bobby Jones believes.
The worlds greatest golfer was
replying to a question as to whether
Mrs. Moody, the worlds greatest
woman tennis player, should ac-
cept the $4,000 bequest left her
in the will of Senator Phelaa of
California.
why shouldn't she?" he asked,
Il wish some one would leave me
the same amount and see how
quick I would take i'll"
What about that $4,000 house
you refused to accept from At
lanta friends a few years ago?"
That was different. I think
it is absolutely asinine for any
one even to question Helen's pro-
cedure in this instance. An heir
to an estate or part of an estate
has all the right in the world to
accept an inheritance"
Bobby then was induced to talk
of his future golf plans:
Il don't want to say whether l
will quit golf after the amateur
or not. 1t would be embarrassing
for me to commit myself to leav-
ing the game and then want to
come hack again"

We pass the legion of citation of
honor and medals conferred upon
young Byrd, even the special medal
designed by the National Geograph-
zeal Society and the latest one to
be given by Indianapolis. Our at
tention is arrested by the silver
bowl presented, in prayer and
praise, by the AdIniral's native city,
winchester. On one side OF this
bowl is engraved the seal OF the
municipality, while on the other Is
the coat of arms of the Byrd fam
lily.
WE may understand the qualif1-
w cations Of membership in F..
F.. v. by learning about the Byrd
coat of arms. Such an emblem was
conferred by a sovereign for some
achievement or service TO ones
country and king.
The Byrd shield is of silver and
pearls, signifying the character OF
Byrd as being of pearl-like purity.
The red cross indicates service to
the church and also Self-sacriflce.
The four heraldic birds, nartletS,
without feet, show that the recip-
lent Of the arms was so swift to
execute that he had no need OF
feet.
The red color of the martlet de-
notes zeal, energy and victory. The
crescent or half moon on the cam
ton is symbolic of changing for
tune.
Colonel William Byrd's book plate
is the ouartered coat Of arms, en-
larged by the escutcheons Of those
who married into the family. The
mantling has been torn by enemies.
Bulls heads signify perseverance.
The helmet is surmounted by the
dove Of peace.
The heraldic motto, ''Nulla palles-
cere culpa,' being interpreted,
means, ITO turn pale at no crime
or wrong (unredressed.
Family loyalty and service to
ones country is the tradition OF
the First Families of Virginia. the
Old Dominion and Mother Of Presl-
dents.

TINE parade has passed. The

Der of the United States senate, and

country, but brightly illumined are
the first words, "a citizen faithful

valuation on real estate and cut
the tax on personal property from

tial sections, where assessed values
