Unplug It and Be Sure.

The tragedy which wiped out by fire
family in Glen Echo early Sunday
morning calls attention anew to a
recommendation whose worth will per-
sist no matter what the increasing skill
of electric engineers. This Is. when
any piece of household electrical APP
paratus is not in use. the plug should
be entirely removed from the socket.
That she had experienced consider
able trouble in the past in shutting of
the electric iron was the testimony of
the owner thereof who loaned it to the
mother Of this unfortunate family. It
is believed that, improperly turned of
and left attached to an electric socket,
it slowly ovsrheated, fired the I'M
watched house and destroyed It's In
mates.
Better and cleverer means of discon-
nection will doubtless be devised in the
future, some of them automatic pro-
vided anything can be said to be really
automatic. But the best, the safest,
the most certain way, even though It
may mean extra stoop!ngs by a tired
housewife or servant, is to remove the
plug completely from the socket and
leave it some distance away. Once that
is done the apparatus becomes a harm
less combination of steel, of wire and
of insulation and all hands are safe
from any danger from that quarter.

King George v.

King George V is sixty-five years old
today, the anniversary marking roundly
twenty years of reign. From no quar-
Ter of the non-British world will
warmer congratulations and good wishes
reach him than from this English
speaking Commonwealth.
II will be noted with special grstif1ca-
ton in the United States that the
Kings birthday honors include the
bestowal Of a peerage upon Sir Esme
Howard, late British Ambassador at
Washington. The distinction comes to
that seasoned diplomat in token CT his
many years of foreign service to the
crown, but in especial recognition of
his work in America from 1924 to 1890
He came to us in a period Of grave
Anglo-American strain over cruiser and
correlated controversies. The end Of
his ambassadorship conceded with their
settlement.
When George V lay in extr6mis a
year ago, American interest in his con-
dition and the course OF his illness was
second only to that which prevailed
throughout the British Empire. Time
was, and not in this country alone,
when George was looked upon as a
colorless monarch, doomed to leave no

Frog Jump Typifies

In his interesting account of the
Jumping Frog of Calaveras County Mark
Twain emitted to mention the distance
covered by jim Smileys leaping am
phlblan, so there Is no standard by
which the achievements of 1880 can be
measured. Word comes from Angels
Camp that the contest winner at the
jumping frog jubilee cleared distance
OF slightly more than IL feet 10 inches.
Second place went TO frog with u
leap OF II feet inches.
They have so many wonders in Cali

that such leaps are impossible. Still
Calaverss County should not be offended

and he can clear &c feet with short
preliminary run, but frog that can
jump nearly Is feet must be moved by
a soul-filling urge to get somewhere in
a hurry.
The prodigiouS jumps recorded in
the renewal of the Calaveras County

recalls the declaration of the bucolic

tourns ment play or else there interest

eolfing machine. but what chance has
field ct normal golfers against a
machine? Bobby likewise has a unique
motto. He is the only linksman who
can carry 1t out. His motto is Shoot
pars at them and they will all curl up"
He followed this slogan all through
the British amateur championship, an
event-can it be possible?--that had
escaped his grasp on two other occa-
sions, and he followed 1t so successfully

Wethered, one Of Britain's great golfers,
he was two under even fours for thirty
holes, with the result that another tro-
ply was added to his already sagging
belt.
Bobby has now won every major

to have compiled such a record-the
British open. the British amateur and
the American open and amateur. He
is at present the open champion Of
America and the amateur champion Of
England Yes. something will have to
be done about this superlative golfing
machine! 1t is not as if Bobby were
near the end of his career and would
soon fade out of the picture to give
the others In England and America a
chance. He has many more champion
ships before him and appears actually
to enjoy winning them. Here Is an
opportunity for the first tee lawyers"
to swing into action. The only trouble
is that Bobby is lawyer himself and
can probably give them as good as they
send.
Perhaps the U. S. G. A. might an
nounce that now that Bobby has proved
himself almost infallible he must handl-
cap himself by playing, we will say, with
only a driver and a putter or even a
putter alone. In that event, Bobby
would have a dificult time getting
under eighty and the others, the mere
humans. would have some chance. Or,
if this plan is not feasible the golf
association might allow Bobbys OPP
ponents a couple of "woofS" round.
A "woof' is Just that and can be de-
livered by the opponent in loud and
penetrating voice just as Bobby is at
the top of his swing or is drawing his
putter back to sink delicate one on
the green. WOODS" have been known
to be remarkably effective, but Bobby
has had so much experience in playing
while stewards were shouting Clear the
Course!' and thousands of goggle-eyed
spectators were swirling around him
that a "woof" might not be of any use
in his case.
In any event, he is a great golfer.

and If no means can be found to pull
him down to the ordinary mortals
level, then there is nothing to do but
to tell him again that he stands high
in the hearts of his feilowmen.
