GOLFERS MOVE
FROM FAR West
Big Tournaments Mark End
OF Heavy-Money Winter
Events

NEW YORK. Jan. T-tP-The
far west Is about TO say adieu 10
professional followers OF the winter
golf trail with a shower Of gold for
a parting gift.
Two big tournaments-the Los
Angeles and Aqua Caliente opens
mark the end Of the big-money
winter events on the Pacific coast.
Ten thousand dollars will find its
way into the pockets Of the pros
at the end OF the Los Angeles open,
which begins tomorrow. Prizes total
ing S25.0 900 will be distributed in the
Aqua Caliente open starting next
Tuesday.
There are a score Of golfers good
enoungh TO win these events, but
the lad who will be most closely
watched, perhaps. is Horton Smith,
Joplin Ghost" again showing the
way TO the winter campaigners.
Victories in the Oregon open, the
Berkeley open and the Pasadena
open. with a second in the Hawaiian
open. have Melted Smith money
priced totalling approximately $1,000.
His three victories have been won
with a 72-holc score OF 280. an
average or 20 for each OF u
eiehteen-hole rounds.
Leo Diegel, Professional Golfers
association champion. may decide 70
fash his best golf in the two last
tournaments, especially at Agul
Caliente and probably will be
anxious, not Only to capture the
major share Of the SIS, 900 purse,
but to show his employers he can
tour his own course in better fig
ures than any of the invaders.

WASHINGTON, Jan. IA reduc-
ton in the bag limit on ducks from
Is TO Is a day and on geese from
8 to 4 a day viii be incorporated in
the 1880 game laws. according to
announcement by Arthur NJ. Hyde,
secretary Of agriculture.
The secretary announced that
upon his recommendation. as pro-
vided under the migratory bird
treaty act, the new regulations
would 60 into effect for the l930-3l
season. He stated that the neces-
sity for this reduction has become
evident from exhaustive field in
vestigation BY the Department o.
Agriculture. which has disclosed
that waterfowl have not been hold
ing their own in the past year. The
unusual drought that prevailed dur
ing the past season, and the recla-
nation OF large former breeding
grounds in the northwest states and
Canada, have resulted in cumula-
tive losses Of great areas Of marsh
and water.
This erduction has been vigorously
insisted upon by the principal game
associations. the Izaak Walton
League OF America. the Western
Association Of State commissioners,
the Association of North Central
States Game and Of State game
commissioners. the Association OF
North Central States Game and
Fish Departments, and several
others.
At its annual meeting In Deem
Der the American game conference,
attended by representative sports
man and conservationistS from Gil
parts Of The continent, adopted re-
solutions to this end. At its annual
meeting IN Washingtcs in Deem
Der, the migratory bird treaty act
advisory board. made up Of repre-
sentative sportsmen and game con-
servationistS from al parts OF the
country, passed a resolution by an
almost unanimous vote urging that
this actio nbe taken.
Twenty-nine States have passed
legislation reducing the bag below
the Federal standards. and many
have protested at the holding Of
Federal standards above their Stale
limits because Of the difficulties
created in enforcement.

Ornamental Screens Serve Purpose, Too

Perhaps the new vogue of the screen means that We are about 10 return to the intrigues of 17th cen- tury Paris or the pastel romance of ancient Picking.
 Lest thrilling reasons, perhaps are the growing interest in decora- tive details and problems of the all- purpose one-room apartment.
 Whatever the reason, we can feel as glamorous as we please about q screen, even though it serves us sy hiding things rather than a1 Egyptian queen or a masked cav alier.
 Ornamental as well as useful, there is place for a screen in aay room. In the dining room, in front Of the kitchen door, it serves to mask the noise and odor of opera tions. In the living room, a screen can give an air of intimacy even to the largest room.
 In the bedroom the screen serves as a shield against drafts and too early morning sun.
 Wherever t is used, 'just 2 sCreen' is not enough. It must te carefully chosen for color. design, size and height.
 Wallpaper and chintz screens aro popular at present, and so are screens with flower, map and hunt ing print inserts in the panels. You need not be deterred by prices because you can buy an undecorated wall board screen and cover it.
 In making wall board screens, the board should be given a glue "slz- ing' and allowed to dry before pa pering. The edges of the screen should be bound with q border strip or turned under. For that old la;- quer effect, coat with gelatin after the paper is put on and waterproof with varnish with a little orange sbcllac.
