 Dr. w. w. Council, J. E. Bar ragar and E. M. Goddard, con- sistent performers on the miniature links, have frequently threatened to break through for low record, and without doubt mark closer to par than present figures will be stroked in the near future.
 The course is gaining daily in popularity. Arrangements are un- der way for tournament play. Wom- en devotees of the pastime show great proficiency, and it is not at all unlikely that to one of them will fall the course championship.

WAR ACE PLANNING
 HIS OWN KINGDOM
'Gerbault Soon to Head South to
 Make Dreams Come True.

New York, Sept. 19,-Some day the world will hear of King Alain.
 Sailors, voyaging far south, will bring back tales of happy isle where all men do as they please, and traders never come.
 An island of nati&es with a white king who lives in a bamboo palast except when the sea urge grows too strong, and he goes wan dering for a while.
 For Alain Gerbault, famous young French author, adventurer and athlete is getting ready to make a dream come true.
 Civilization has given him all that it can. He has written two books. He has seen Tn Quest of the Sun" proclaimed best-seller in France last year. He was boy tennis cham pion before the war. He still plays in international matches. He was an aviator in the World war. And he has gone on long and lonely wandering of the seas of the world.
 So now he is saying hail and farewell forever unless he comes back for week or two some time to see hiw people live in crowded cities again. He is head ing for the South Seas.

 He doesn't know where his is- land kingdom will be. But he will start to find it when spring comes and his new boat is ready.
 Over in France a 34-foot sail boat is being prepared. When the apple . blossoms are a mass of bloom against the low green coast of Gerbault will set out to sea alone.
 q always go to sea alone,"' he said. No one else understands and loves it as I do. I've been to the South Sea islands many times. Now I'm going to stay.
 q shall find an island that Hike it may be large and it may be small. Then I shall popu- late it with my native friends and give each one a plot of ground Every man will raise his own food I'll be king. But there will be only one law. Every man may do as he pleases as long as hS doesn't inter- fere with the rights of others. If he disobeys there will be no punish ment but he shall be removed from the island.
 T shall have a court, but that must be worked out later. No white men will be included in my island-just the natives. And no traders will be allowed to come to the island. Sometimes I'll sail away, for I intend to study Egyptian, Sanskirt and otherN ancient langu- ages as well as the native tongues and religions. I am going to live this way because it will give me time to do the things I want to do."
 The palace in which the king will receive his subjects will be made of bamboo-cane with a roof of matched grass. If anyone wants advice Gerbault will give it, but life is to be so simple and natural that the future ruler expects few difficulties.
 At night sailors will catch the gleam of crimson fires where the subjects of the island sing and

Cleveland, Sept. 19 R-While women workers often have been ac- cused of taking jobs that could be filled by men who needed them, most wage-earning mothers work because their husbands do not make enough money to support their fam lilies decently.
 A study of $50 mothers engaged ins wage-earning occupations in Cleveland discloses, the department of labor says, that large majority work because of economic necessity.

Columbus, O.. a Sept. 19 (UP)- When Thomas Rush, 12, decided he wanted a few trinkets, that were lying carelessly around the Glen wood avenue precinct station, he hit upon a novel plan of remov- ing molesting "coppers' from the premises.
 Rushing into the station house, Rush breathlesely informed the desk sergeant ,Aat a car was afire a. short distance down the street. The station was soon emptied of it's official tenants and Rush, in sole command, prodded through desks in search of whatever struck his fancy.
 Two patrolmen, however, chose to select the moment for reporting on duty and caught the boy with his hands full of flashlights. He not only confessed to the theft but also to setting fire to the machine.

 There will be no radios on the island. The wind in the trees and the pounding of the surf are music enough for the man who would be king. These and the native songs.

 There will be no queen when the island court assemblies. Gerbault, who is unmarried, doesn't want one.
