~ course, a sixteenth of an inch isn't
At least it wouldn't be much added
to the Leviathan Primo Camera,
though it might be a great deal If
added to the end Of your best girls nose, or the
business end Of a bee.
But it's dollars to deep-dish apple pie that
the biggest sixteenth Of an inch Of 1880 is the
one they've added to the golf ball. -tf.
It isn't quite a sixteenth of an inch at that,
out exactly six -hundredths Of an inch added
to its diameter With this goes the fact that
the ball has been lightened seven one
hundredths, or about one-fourteenth of an
ounce. If that doesn't seem much think Of
the times your wife has come beaming into the
room and announced that by laying OF choc-
olate cellars and peanut brittle sundaeS, she's
shed half an ounce.
The analogy goes further. In the case of the
ball, just as in the case of the wife. the gen.
eral construction remains the same despite the
loss In weight.
YOUR first time out with the new ball this
Spring is going to 60 something like this:
You are going to buy some Of the new-si1ed
ballS-oh, yes, you are, for they are optional in
play this Summer, and become absolutely and
finally official in u. s. G. A. and U. S. P. G. A.
affairs, January 1, 1881. You are going to take
one Of them in your hand and joggle 1t against
one Of your maShie-scarred veterans, and you're

parent body Both will let those funny Amer
leans use their new trick ball in British events
after January l, 1881, but British players COM
peting in this country must use the new United
States Golf Association ball After it is tried
out in this country both British bodies may
reconsider.
In international competition this Summer,
such as the Walker Cup and the British Open.
the old ball will undoubtedly be used by both
British and American entrants, as 1t would
be marifeStly impossible for Americans planning
to enter the British events to play all Summer
with the large ball and then jump over and
give a decent account Of themselves with the
small one.
ITS mildly interesting to learn that leading
golfers view the new ball without undue
alarm. Bobby Jones was Immediately con-
demned to the shelf by many writer's, but he
remained unmoved and sees no reason why
he shouldn't play just well with the new
ball Personally, think he could play with q
china darnng egg and still beat most of them.
Walter Hagen long ago decided that the new
ball was right up his alley and recently said it
would add 10 years to his tournament carer.
But to Mr.. Donald Duffer his own golfing flu
ture is more important than that of all the big
hook and slice men in the country. He'd rather
see himself breaking 100 or 80 or 80 this Sum-
Cup. And all sorts of charts and graphs have
been prepared to show him just what he'll be
able to do with the new BALL Most of them
don't.
Herbert Jacques chairman of the implements
and ball committee United States Golf Asso-
citation, has told in Country Club Magazine
exactly what the committee hoped for in adopt
ing the new golf ball. Listen to this:
1t sits up, and, whether the fairway be long
and uncut bare, wet or burned out, one does
not have to dig for it. 1t flies with
slightly higher trajectory, yet it will not zoom
or climb. Mashie play with the new ball
Is a delight. The ball rises a little higher,
drops more sharply, rolls less. In chip
shots just off the green it will the diocre
player strokes on every round. In the
rough it does not burrow deep. It is
easier to explode from bunker. 1t is q
beautiful putting ball . refreshing ball
to play, eminently fair to the average golfer,
more exacting for the expert. q. 1t will
come to be judged one of the most important
contributions to the game during the next
decade"
The committee believes that SO players out
of 100 will discover that after 10 con-
secutive rounds with the new ball they will be
saving strokes on every round
One thing the new ball is going to dot
may cut down the yardage, but it will certainly
increase the wordage

TINE Miles home, still known in

since it had been built moro than
thirty years before by Flora's ia
Their, old Silas Hackett, dead these
seven years. dominated one Of the
most beautiful Of the wooded hills
which encircled Mirror lake in the
Brentwood section.
OF modified Tudor architecture,
its deep red, mellowcd bricks had
achieved in three decades almost
the same aged dignity and impress
siveness that characterized the
three-century mansion in England
which Silas Hackett's architect had
used as an inspiration.
The big house faced the lake, a
long series of Handicapped terraces
leading down to the waters edge
but the driveway wound from the
state road up q side hill, to the
main entrance at the rear Of the
house.
Once before-on Sunday, the day
after Mia Selims murder, when
he had come to interview Lydia
Carr and had secured the alibi
which had eliminated Dexter
Sprague as a suspect-Dundee had
driven his car up this hill between
the tall yew hedges.
But then he had taken the fork
which led to the hooded doorway
over The kitchen; had descended
the kitchen stairs with Lydia, to the
servants sitting room in the base
ment.
Now he continued along the main
driveway to the more impressive
entrance, whose thanking, slim tur-
retS troWned down upon a line of
police cars and motorcycles.
His approach must have been ex-
pected and observed, for it was the
master of the house who opened
the great, reconstructed doors and
invited him into the broad main
hall at the end of which, down
three steps, lay the immense living
room.

All Except South Bend to
Move Clocks Ahead
Sunday.
BY United Press

Residents of northern Indiana
cities will retire an hour earlier
Saturday night or else lose sixty
minutes of sleep, for eleven Of the
cities in that section will adopt
daylight saving time Sunday morn
ing.
South Bend, the twelfth city, will
wait a day longer to set its clocks
an hour ahead.
Popularity of fast time in the
state Is confined principally to
northern Indiana, probably because
of its proximity to Chicago, which
annually begins it's days an hour
ahead OF standard time during the
five summer months.
In several other cities and towns
the adoption of daylight saving was
considered, hotly contested by enc
mics of fast time and as forcibly
supported by its proponents.
Industry Wants Saving
Industry nearly was unanimous
In its support, although business
and professional men Of Plymouth
opposed daylight saving.
The Delco-R emy corporation
plant at Anderson will observe a
daylight saving schedule beginning
May S, affecting the working hours
of 1000 persons. The city, itself,
will continue on central standard
time.
Elkhart, Plymouth and Misha-
waka voted down fast time pro-
posals in their city council meet
ings.
To the tourist, South Bend and
Mishawaka appear to be single
city, because one meets the other,
but the clocks in one will be an
hour faster than those in the other.
Change Prohibited Here
Indianapolis is prohibited from
operating under a daylight saving
plan by an act of the legislature
which makes fast time Illegal in
cities of over 100000 population.
Valparaiso was preparing fast
time ordinance for 1880 when it was
discovered last years act provided
automatic change to fast time each
year.
Standard time, in most cities. will
be resumed on Sept. %.
Those cities adopting daylight
saving time for the next five months
are:
South Bend, Michigan City. VAL
paraiso, Gary, Hammond, Indiana
Harbor, Whiting. East Chicago,
Crown Point, Kendallville, Ft.
Wayne and Laporte.
