RENO, New. Dec. 25.-Almost
anything in the matrimonial line
can happen in this gay little city
and frequently does.
Nuptial entanglements of the most
singular nature are often found
and are viewed with good-natured
tolerance by the townsfolk.
There is, for example, the case
Of an insurance agent who has
been married nineteen times and is
on the most friendly terms with
practically all of his ex-wives. This
man is not attempting to establish
a matrimonial record, it just hap

The pair engaged adjoining apart

But perhaps the most curious

in perfect harmony directly across
the street from each other.
The husband of the first family
fell in love with the wife in the
second and yet each loved their
own children, there being two chill
dren in the first and three in the
second.
So the husband divorced his wife,
who was perfectly agreeable to the
arrangement, and the wife of the
second family divorced her husband
and he was satisfied also.
The two couples exchanged

WASHINGTON, Dec. 25.-A series
Of national beaches, analogous TO
the national parks, is advocated by
j. Spencer Smith, president OF the
American Shore and Beach Preser-
walton Association.
The association exists for the
study of the opportunities presented
by the shore and beach lines of
America, and for the recommended
ton of means of solving the prob
lens to be faced in preserving suita-
BILE beach areas for public recreation
and scientific study.
Smith advocates acquisition OF
such areas by local interests and
their assignment to the federal GOV

1.-The preservation of our beaches
is essentially a national problem and
can best be solved by the national
government" says Smith.

beach site and donate it to the fed

gift as national park for the

ton on our beaches.
1--WE know that the millions who
played on our beaches this year
came not from the contiguous town,
country or state, but from all over
the nation. 1t seems to me unfair
to ask the local community to &C
quire, protect and maintain a rea-
sonable number of its beaches for
the enjoyment largely of those who
live at more or less great distance
and who do not contribute to the
taxes which make possible their en-
joyment.

the greatest number of persons who
derive the benefit; and it seems
to me the most equitable plan is
the one I have suggested"

FIRST YULETlDE CARD
APPEARED IN 1916

The first Christmas card is
credited to Sir Henry Cole, who in

Of greeting to send to friends at
Christmas, but it was not until 1862
that cards began to have a general
use.
Drawings costing well into the
hundreds of pounds were first used
as cards and then sold to magazines
and picture houses. A collection of
such paintings sold in 1884 for near
ly 1000 pounds.
Some idea of the amount paid for
early designs may be gathered from
the fact that one concern alone, in
1882 paid to artists for original
drawings more than 1000 pounds
($35, 000). Christmas cards we're
first made in America in 1874 by

Many and varied are the
theories which have been ad-
vanced as to the actual trans
action between Washington
and st. louis when Alvin Crow
der and Heinie Manush came
here for Goose GoSlin.
One claiming to be a very
close personal as we'll as former
business associate of Phil Ball,
st. Louis Brown owner, brings
this phase of the trade to our
attention, and to us it sounds
interesting, whether true or not.
The Browns haven't been
earning dime this season and
there appears little chance that
the club will attract many fans
the rest of the year. OF ne
ceSsity the club couldn't expect
to make any money at the
turnStileS.
How, then, might 1t make
some money.
Simple!
Peddle to a team that looks
like it would make the grade
sufficient material to put it up
there and keep it there and
gamble on a percentage of that
clubs world series earnings.
And if the club doesn't get
into the world series, settle on
a cash basis agreed upon at
the time of the trade or make
player exchanges at the end Of
the season to satisfy st. Louis.
There it is the way it came
to us-believe it or not-take
it or leave II.
There has been no end Of
discussion, particularly among
the gang down at the court
house where baseball and bail
bond go hand in hand, as to
whether it was. good baseball
for Art Shires to hit the first
ball pitched when he went to
the bat for Spencer in the tenth
inning of last Sundays game
at Clark Griffith Stadium.
One school Of baseball mind,
it seems, believes Art should
have waited out Henry Johnson
for a couple of balls before he
started taking cuts and another
thinks it was good baseball for
him to swing at the first one
provided it was the kind he
liked. & Il rs
The question has been sub
mitted to us and our answer to
that. and all disputes involving
baseball Judgment for that mat
ter, is that if it works it is o. K.
and if it fails it might still be
o. K, theoretically, although
difficult to prove.

ALLOWS
. PLAY INTO
NIGHT
BY HORTON SMITH

The Scotch, as a matter OF fact,
ought to be better golfers than
they are. At 10 o'clock in the eve
ming in May, players are still fin
ishing their rounds on the Kings
and Queens courses at Glen
eagles. A golf course ranger tells
me that last June four American
gentlemen completed their round
at midnight with plenty OF light
from the sky to illuminate their
final puts. 1t is said that IN the
highlands of Scotland they can
play all night long in June!
Recently, Mrs. Dorothy Camp
bell Hurd-winner of the Amert
can, the British and the Canadian
women's championships and one
Of the great women golfers OF all
time-played three 18-hole rounds
at Gleneagles, finishing by 9 p. m.
Incidentally, she did a 78 on the
Kings course for, one OF her
rounds.
Mrs. Hurd is Scotch. She was
born IN EQlnOurgn ana SpenC neE
winters there and her summers in
house by the side Of the links
at North Berwick. For a number
of years she has made her home
in America. Of all Scotch women
Mrs. Hurd has won the biggest
reputation at golf. She began
playing when she was three, but
says that her first important
match was played when she was
five and that her partner had to
carry her on his shoulders for the
last three holes!
Mrs. Hurd is really a great
golfer, but the Scotch amateurs
of today are not great golfers.
They cannot name single great
player in their ranks and this is
truly surprising as the game is
native here. It is the national
pastime. there are plenty of mu-
nicipal links and the long twilight
provides sufficient light so that

After Rice had gone out in
the tenth, we left our seat and
started for the automobile park
ing space. BY the time we got
to the foot Of the upper run
way, a man was on base, and in
a few more minutes the bases
were loaded.
We edged over to the railing
and stood on tip-toes to look
over the heads of others who
were clogging the standing
room, and as Shires went to the
bat, a fan at our side said to his
friend:
"Aw, look at Johnson sending
Shires in to bat for Spencer.
That's the trouble with this
team-WaIter Johnson is n great
guy personally, but he's NO
manager!"
We smiled to ourselves at the
comment-it was SO typical of
the fan mind.
In a trice Shires had singled
off the second base bag and the
rush started for the exits, sweep
ing all hands almost off their
feet. We were tempted to lean
over toward the stranger and
shout:

great fellow personally, but he
doesn't know much about base

baseball: if a play or a piece of
judgment goes sour, the people
involved in 1t look rotten, but If
everything works out hunkey
