200 per cent profit Years ago the st. Adams
Club on Long Island was valued at $4OO 600.
Offers Of &1.250,OOO have been made for the
property. The Fox Hills Club on Staten Island,
New York, was established four years ago for
about $4OO,O they have been offered a million
for the land.
The country has gone golf with such q VEN
geance that every small town either wants or
has course. villages Of a thousand persons in
Western States now have their own clubs. If
the town is too small to support the course
alone two or three corporations within golflng
distance establish a course at some point con-
venient to all. No obstacle Is too great to pre-
vent the golf fanatics from putting in their
faiFways In Vermont solid rock was blasted
out Of q nine-hole links. Down in Florida
Lake Worth was sucked dry for a 11O-acre
course. New Mexico at Cloudcroft has course
5000 feet above sea level.
British and American enthusiasts have taken
the game to the ends of the earth. There is o.
course at Tocopilla, Chile, without single blade
Of grass The players are guided from hole to
hole by lines of dazzling white shells. Explorers
burst through the jungle to a clearing in the
Belgian KOngo to find white men solemnly putt
ing or fervently clrsing misplaced shots. The
holes were coffee cans; the caddies were blacks
as naked as Adam
So great is our national passion for golf that
it has gone beyond the stage of fad and be-
come a real necessity Philanthropists have
recognized it as such and have put it on the
same footing as the more direct charities The
elder Patterson, who headed the National Cash
Register Co., gave to Dayton, Ohio what was
perhaps the f1rst American property ever do
mated for q course. There are now two 1S-hole
courses on 1t. And many othex rich men have
made It possible for less fortunate citizens to
enjoy the game they love so much.

Another water dweIler who sometimes gets

1T is q great pleasure to all theater-goers
to realize how far the drama Of today
has progressed beyond the rough crude
N old plays Of 20 years ago. As one great
critic has recently put it, THE drama
Of today is delicate is restrained; it avoids
harsh effects and glazing espisodes; it moves
In q sOftened atmosphere Of reflection rather
than In the noisy tumult Of action; it NO

Quite 90. There's no doubt Of it.
Let us try o few typical scenes and passages

drama is. Here Is the essential part Of an
old-fashioned heroic play which we win call

Brick Industry Declines

THE brick industry has suffered considerably
IN the past two or three years, so much so
that the production figures for 1927 and 1929
show falling of of more than 20 per cent; N
terms of bricks, from 7,O0O,S84 thousands TO
5,634,0oO thousands This means Q drop Of
$4,000 GEO in income 10 brick manufacturers.
The above figures concern common brick. The
faced-brick industry also was badly hit. but not
to the extent Of common brick. the loss being
about n per cent.

And then, IN chatter Of excitement and
torchlight, Hubert revives slightly Zone minute),
stands up feebly (two minutes), walks firmly
(three minutes), and, in fact, in four minutes
and half the whole play ends IN glow Of
happiness.
But compare an this rough emphatic brutal
stun with the chastened drama Of today.
These are stil Hubert and Gwennyth, pre-
sumably NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. or some
thing of the ones above. And they are SIN
lovers. But Of course, there are none Of those
fierce dividing differences between them; IN
fact, there isn't anything particular left IN
the world that can keep lovers apart in that
way. True, Hubert Is q vegetarian and Gwen
myth believes in eating meat Gwennyth never
takes anything to drink, except . cocktail,
whereas Hubert doesn't refuse q Whisky-and-
soda. Huhert's people came from Pittsburgh;
Gwennyth's father made lot Of money In
cattle in Minnesota.
In other words, they are just ordinary young
people. There's no particular reason why they
shouldn't get married. On the other hand, why
should they? In short, as far as there Is q
plot IN the play, It turns out that-why get
married? That's where the play gets its awful1y
pexplexing and attractive -"Inducement..
Any modern title, to be success, must mean
absolutely nothing, and yet seem to mean lot.
ALL the nEst parts Of the paay-yOu can't
can them acts, they are just divisions
ere meant to show Hubert's past life and
owennyths past life: not for any fierce mesO-
dramatic crisis. but just TO show, apparently.
as in an modern art that he did live. and 90
did she. You see him In the opening Of the
play buying . dog; the dog never comes IN
again-no one expects it will-he Is just buy
ing dog. And you see Gwennyth IN
sumptuous motor car with her father, who Is,
here also, an earl, in q sort of way, because his
name is Earl Axleman Of Minnesota. All this
symbolizes that Hubert Is young man OF IN
decisive vacuous tastes, and Gwennyth rich
girl who will one day inherit cattle. And then
You come TO the climax that corresponds to
the battlement scene of the play Of that year
ago

OP-SCENES FROM THE DRAMA"-ByStrphmzea apk

Act 6, division 8, portion 3, Hubert's sitting
room in the Battlement Apartments, New York.
Hubert is seated alone before the CRATE. The
time is 2:30 am, which means that he Is ex-
pecting visitors.
Hubert sits there Occasionally he gets up
and moves over to the table and back, once
even TO the window.
This means that he is Analysing himself: =.
1t says so In the four-page digest Of the play
on the play-bin. Once he picks up a cigarette,
lights it, and then, after hardly smoking it at
ALL throws it into the crate. This, Of course.
II H IS wen acted gives the up-to-date audience
a tremendous thrill. It shows how utterly per-
picked Hubert is Presently ne puts his head
in his hands and holds it there for seven min
utes. This keeps the audience spellbound
They can feel him think. OF course, they all
know what's coming and so they all know what
Hubert is thinking about. If the up-to-date
audience didn't have the idea of the play be-.
fore hand, they'd be lost.

Of that reflection stun.

HUBERT sits and sits. So does the audience.
Then there is knock, . real knock
this time, at the outside door, and in comes,
dressed in evening clothes, Earl Axelman,
Gwennyth's father.

PARASITES By Alice JIdSOn Pcalc

+ was Teddys misfortune that other children saw in him only someone who spoiled their games and who was forever laundering about and breaking their toys with his clumsy movements.
 When in a s1isguided moment of kindness they tried to include him, he was sure to spoil things by for getting whether he was supposed 10 be in 6 boat or an automobile or by doing something else grossly out of character with the part he was to play.
 In short, Teddy was a parasite in the play world of children of his own age. He wanted to be one of them. but he had nothing to con- tribute and children are invariably cruel to such as he.

BABIES IN SUMMER

It is said that the most hazard ous occupation iI the world is be- Ing baby, but 1t strikes me there is a still more dangerous occupation and that is being a little baby dur ing the summer months.
 The hot summer months seem to be especially trying on infants and children. Most sicknesses and the majority of deaths among children take place in summer.
 With approach of warm weather, every experienced mother becomes little timid and fearsome about her children, but it is not timidity or fear that will help her - 1t is knowing what 10 do that counts.
 The child in summer needs spe- cial attention on few items, not numerous Or difficult One is guard ing children against flies and mos quitoes.
 The fly is positiyewly known to transmit no fewer than fl diseases among them infantile diarrhca.
 The mosquito, in that it is blood sucking insect whose head acts like hypodermic syringe. exposes the child to diseases Of a serious na- ture
 The babys room should he screened. Insects that make their appearance In the nursery should be destroyed.
 Of course. all Of this would profit little if the babys food. eating uten- tls, bottles nipples, etc, were left exposed to flies and dirt
 Dress the infant for the weather The small child his less skin sur face per pound of bulk than does the adult. It cannot radiate it's heat as readily. Mothers tend to over dress their children. Light colored garments throw off more heat; loose fitting garments allow more air to come in contact with the body.
