a survey Of the great volume of new books tina.

New books are given at least SO per cent OF the

Nobody Is to Blame But Me-

For years and years Edwin J. Clapp was a financial
writer for the Hearst newspapers. he was a Yale
graduate, and in 1915 he was a member Of the Olympic
hurdling team. In the not remote past Hearst pur-
chased the Fort Worth Record and Edwin J. Clapp
was sent to Texas to exploit the resources OF the Lone
Star state with his prolific pen. He acquired a ranch
in West Texas and dreamed Of the time when he
would retire from the grind Of journalism and be-
come q resident or Texas.
He deserted the Hearst organization and joined
that Of William c. Durant. automobile manufacturer
and famous Wall Street plunger. Clapp will not make
his home in Texas. His dream is over. He COM
mitted suicide by jumping from the 18th floor Of a
Fifth Avenue apartment hotel. He left this note:
Goodbye, Sue. / have killed myself. Nobody is 10
blame but ne. I am crazy And this was the finish
OF one Of the stars Of American journalism. Nobody
Is to blame but me- told I'll the story.

The Once Over
NIGHT COLE

NIGHT GOLF
(Copyrigt, 1880. BY The Associated Newspapers)
Kansas City now has a course for golf at night. If
the idea spreads it will be q great thing for the ma
ton. Millions Of people viii then pay attention to
business in the daytime.
If you want TO interview a business man today you
have to make an appointment with him IN some gully,
ditch or sandtrap.
He comes to the office only to see that the help Is
in and he remains only long enough to arrange for
an all-day industrial conference with the three other
captains OF industry in the meadows Of the nearest
golf club.
Most Of the ~country's business troubles today can
be blamed on day golf. No country can prosper in
definitely when a majority Of its master minds are
staggering around suburban acreage hunting for lost
golf balls instead OF staying in the office looking for
lost business.
Night golf will give American business a break. It
NAV be the hope OF the nation. Players may not be
able to see the ball as well at night. but why COM
plain? The trouble with the game is that too many
players are able to find the ball for their second shot
sss
And night golf will be better on the eyes Of spec
tators. After watching the average player. you can't
help feeling that he should be compelled to do all his
golfing in total darkness.
There will be complaints by players that they can't
see where their ball went, but that will be a welcome
influence. It's having an idea where the ball went
that slows up the game so much.
Golf by night should leave the players in a better
mood. A man can play with his conscience unburden-
ed by the realization that he is not doing right by the
stockholders. H can do his divot-digging without the
psychological handicap Of knowing it means another
family uproar II he gets home late for dinner.
He can proceed to wear himself into a complete
state Of exhaustion without that sinking feeling that
comes with knowing that when the game is over he
will have to go out to the theater or to play bridge
with the wife.
And the wives and children will get a break, too.
A husband and father out on the golf course at night
IS more to be desired than one at home all evening
describing the brides he missed by an inch.
All in all. night golf should be encouraged. II has
long been a wonder to most Of us that President Hoo
ver's business restoration commission hadn't order
ed It.
