takes the place of the mild upbraiding
that lesser men might give that re-

find solace when fortune goes against
them. He can take his breaks or leave
them alone. They are all one to him,
and he likes the game of golf so much
that we believe he gets pleasure out
of every part of the game-the good

But yesterday he nearly reached the
end of his patience. Nearly, put not

out a great 60-yard tee shot he didn't

DIAL SYSTEM CUTS
COST IN YOKOHAMA
Telephones Are Now Being In
stalled in Toxic and
Other Cities.

The dial system Of telephones, which
was installed throughout Yokohama
two years ago, has resulted in reduced
costs Of operation and increased EN-
cheney, according to an official Of the
Yokohama telephone exchange. Dial
telephones are now being installed in
Toxic and other cities, although the
larger number Of instruments here
makes the change slower. Telephones
first came into Japan in 1877, a year
after their invention by Alexander
Graham Bell. At first the government
alone used them. The first exchanges
In Toxic and Yokohama opened three
years later, the total number of sub
scrfbers in the former being ITO and In
the latter As. The greatest deficiency
In the present system is the difficulty
involved In calling between Toxic and
Yokohama, 10 miles apart. It often
takes longer to get a phone call through
than to take train, and at almost any
time OF day one can call Kyoto, Kobe
or Osaka, more than 900 miles distant,
sooner than Yokohama Because OF the
comparative scarcity of instruments and
the great demand, telephones are ex-
pensive and hard TO get. An instru-
nlent costs $425 at present and used to
be much higher. Telephone brokers do
large business in all of the principal
cities OF the country.

the new Angora ethnograhical museum
an important link in the chain of
evidence that points to a nation that
disappeared $500 years ago.
This uncompleted museum guards
the hundreds of relics which the
Oriental Institute Of the University Of
Chicago has been excavating in Asia
Minor in an effort to solve the histor-
ical puzzle of the Hittites, Biblical
people known to have existed 5000
years before the Christian era, but
whose civilization and whose fate are
hidden in undeciphered hieroglyphics.
Under DR.. Van der Osten, the ORR
entail Institute will begin this year
its fourth year of field explorations In
Aleshir, near Angora AS in the past,
the expedition will turn over to the
Angora museum all its finds, and the
museum, in turn, will present to the
Americans any objects found in
duplicates.
Funds for these explorations, which
cost annually about $4,000, are supplied
by the General Education Board of New
York plus contributions made by such
individuals as Mrs. w. Murray Crane,
wife Of the Senator from Massachusetts;
Henry j. Patten and James A. Patten
and Frank q. Logan Of Chicago.
The Angora Museums chronologically
arranged displays of relics render strik-
ingly apparent the lasting influence of
the lost race. The shapes and designs
of Hittite implements are identical with
Turkish implements of recent centuries.
The Hittite double-headed eagle appears
on Turkish silver Snuff-boxeS, and the
exact likeness of the Hittite Coolest of
Plenty appears on the Turkish amulet.

1STANBUL (P).-Secular though the
Turkish state has become, and strong
as is her friendship with Soviet Russia,
Turkish indignation over the religious
situation in Russia has been expressed
by the semi-off1cial daily, Djumouriet.
The paper declares that the movement
seeks to erase 25,000,000 Moslem Turks
and their national ideals from Russia.
Citation is made of reports that 5000
mosques have been closed in the district
of Idle ural; that 1880 Moslem wor-
shippers have been condemned to death
or deported, and that the Chief Mutt
has been arrested for refusing to sign
statement that the Moslems in Russia
have not been prosecuted.
The Turkish paper warns the Soviet
Union that elimination of Turks was
one aim of the cars as it was their aim
also to stretch their dominions to Istan-
bul and to kill the independence of
Turkey-and in return, Turkey helped
to kill the cars.
Turkey aided the Soviet because they
promised to leave Turkey mistress Of
her own destiny and sit is friendships
