Blame BendeloW

Speaking Of golf, If you get lost
in the rough, blame IL on Bendelow
he probably built the course. Tom
BendelOw, 6~0-year-old ScOtchman,
probably did more to bring golf TO
the United States than any enc
man. He came over the Big Pond in
the gay SOS looking for gainful
employment. Commercial houses
were beginning to exploit the then
little known game OF golf in the
United States. Americans heard
Bendeolw's rich brogue and, al
though they knew all golfers did
not necessarily have TO be Scotch
men. they figured all Scotchmen
surely must be golfers .
HIS FIRST job was a five-hole
layout at Point Pleasant. That was
just the beginning. for to this day,
Bendelow is continuing to lay out
golf courses over the United States.
In one season the Scotchman con-
structed 80 courses.
ANOTHER PROBLEM at the
outset al that OF obtaining in
structors. Few persons had more
than a vague idea what golf was
all abos. and fewer still understood
the slightest thing concerning It's
mechanics. But Bendelow solved
this problem. too. so that the game
did not die in it's infancy. AS in
coming steamers from his native
land locked in American harbors.
Bendelow stood at the end OF tie
gang plank. There he induced
Scotch grocers. paper-hangers, car
penters, maSOns-msn of all trades
who had a smattering Of the game
Ii their syStems-to grasp the op-
portunity to make money by teach
ing golf to the Americans.

BRITAIN ID STOP CENO7APH DISPLAY
Hope to Soit-Pedal Unpleasant Memories Of War

London. Oct. 25 R-With hope of soft-pedalling war memories, the British government has asked for eign governments to eliminate cere- monies at the tombs of the Un- known Soldier and cenotaphs in lu- ture official receptions.
 No formal statement of the trans mission of the request has been made by the government, but for eign office officials confirm that the step has been taken with the ln- tention of discouraging the perpetu- ation of the war memories and the bitterness engendered by them.
 The conclusion has been drawn that henceforth no official visitors in England will be taken to the cenotaph or unknown warrior E tomb to deposit a wreath. and that British delegates to foreign coun- tries will not participate in such ceremonies there.
 While the British desire was &C., corded| wide appreciation, some ob- jections to the governments sten were voiced. The Daily Telegraph said the public would learn of the suggestion with the utmost amaze ment. In an, editorial headed "Au act of offensive folly" the paper said the proposal must seem inde- cent as well as foolish as long as the generation which knew the war survives.
 The Herald. ministcrialist organ commended the suggestion as q good move, commenting that each nation probably would wish to re- member for many years the day on which the armistice was signed bu: that in normal international inter- course the less emphasis made on war the better.
 Ramsay MacDonald's long efforts against reminders of the World Wal and his pacific attitude in treatment of international affairs are recallel here in commenting on the propos. al. The simplicity of last years Armistice Day celebration at thc ccnotapll was regarded as possibly the beginning of the movement which the government hopes now tc make world wide.

HITLER ANSWERS
 NEWSPAPER PLAN
Fascist Leader Urges France to
 Reduce Arnaments

Munich, Bavaria, Oct. 25 R)--- Adolf Hitler. fascist generalissimo,
 replied today in his newspaper,
 Nlelkischcr Beobachter, to proposals Of Gustave Herve, French editor of La Voctoire, of a Franco-German military alliance.
 Answering Nerve, the national so- cialist leader expressed satisfaction at the conciliatory spirit shown but asked, Why have military al- liance? Against whom is it to be di- rccted ?" ..
 Years Made Nation Poor Hitler said Germany had at tempted for Ic years to arrive at a
 Franco German understanding and the efforts have merely led to Ger many's becoming so poor that many
 of her people prefer bolshevism to her present condition. He added, Young Germany. as represented in the movement of which I am leader. earnestly desires an understanding
 with France, but wants no military alliance
 Tho fascist leader expressed the opinion that to become a fit partner ;or France iii military sense Ger
 many would have to increase her ornaments greatly. He suggests that the better way would be for France to reduce hers, and thereby relieve all Europe of a nightmare"
 Herve's suggestion of a new Euro- pean convention Hitler meets with the question, ''Is this to be in the spirit Of the Kellogg pact or does France regard that pact as unsatis- factory?" Discusses Obligations Discussing Germany's obligations, Hitler says the national socialists recognize her private and business debts but the binding character of
 her political debts exacted by in- sane political pressure is doubtful.f
 he declares. Germany will either become a nation recognized as the equal of others and hence enjoy the same rights. or there will no longer
 be an orderly government but bol-
 shevism will reign instead"

Public Health Service Studies
 Show Coal Dust Most Harmful

Washington, Oct. o5 R-To the lowly dust beneath the feet, the United States public health service has turned it's scientific attention.
 Results of four dust studies, con- ducted by Dr. l.. K. thompson. chief of the scientific research staff, have just gone to press and will emerge in bulletin form within the next few weeks.
 They concern municipal dust, or dust of the city streets; hard and soft coal dust; cotton dust; and Sir yer polishing dust--all considered as possible hazards to health.
 A safe limit of somewhere be- tween and 20 million particles of dust per cubic foot was esta blisheI. Ventilation was said to be the only method of keeping air thinned out sufficiently to be safe for breathing.
 Highest concentrations of dus. were found in coal mining, both hard and soft. The research experts reported no great excess of illness among those breathing this coal dust, but said there did appear to be "a slowly developing fibrosis" among persons exposed to it.
 No Danger From Others
 But the metal dust of the silver polishing plant, the vegetable du st of the cotton plant, and the pave ment dust to which street sweepers are exposed, appeared to have 10 harmful effects upon the workers, ' the health experts found. In these cases, usual concentrations were said to be relatively low, and we'll with in the "Eafe limit" set forth by the public health service.
 Earlier studies had established certain dusts as definitely poisonous. one being lead dust in storage ba.- tery plants and in potteries. Silica dust also was found to be harmful.
