that "the crown rightly rests upon the
brow of Georgia's favorite son." The
Roanoke Times quotes and approves the
statement of Roger Wethered, who was
defeated in the final round by Body
Jones, There goes real champion OF
golf" The Chattanooga News, placing
him Eat the pinnacle of golf1ng fame,
saws. Perfect coordination of body
and brain alone could have carried him
there" AS the New York Herald Trlo-
une puts it, knowing what was ex-
pected of him at ST. Andrews, Jones
faced the worst of hazardS-the mental
one-without finching."
"The Jones record, unequaled In the
annals of golf, is the more remarkable
because of the nature of the sport IN
which it obtains. For golf is not sport
in which a reasonable margin of supe-
riority guarantees victory" the Cleve-
land News explains, and asserts,
Greater the glory of Jones" The COM
pleteness of the Jones victories is
stressed by the st. Paul Pioneer Press
with the statement; In winning tne
British amateur golf championship
Jones has won the only major golf
trophy he had left to win, and becomes
the first golfer to have held all the
major titles the game affords-the Brit
ish and American open and the British
and American amateur championships.
And the Appleton Post-Crescent notes
that now Jones has won every national
and international championship worth
going after" and is ''in a class by him
self"
The popularity of the victory on both
sides of the water is most pleasing to
the American press. The Baltimore
Sun rates Jones as "a great favortte"
both in this country and in England,
as does also the Springfield Republican,
which notes that true art knows no
national bounds, and the British par.

The Duluth Herald sums up American

Cologne Gazette.-The optimists in

Gently issued relative to the study of
modern and ancient languages by the
junior and senior high schools of New
York City, 1t appears that very few
pupils are studying German in high
school compared with times prior to the
World War. Indeed, of the languages
studied German occupies a very poor
fourth place, even the dead language,
Latin, being very greatly preferred.
French is the favorite exotic tongue,
and the professors making the report
state that the rank and file OF the stu
dents take to that speech like the aver
age American woman does to a
Paris gown. The appeal seems equally
Irresistible. Before the war German
stood first in preference when one
wished to study a foreign language.

studying German. If one considers
carefully the relative figures given above,
German is not likely soon to regain the
popularity in America it had before the
war, and although people in America
read German novels with increasing
avidity, it is always in English trans
lations.

DAG GER E.v Mary Dahabesg

SYNOPSIS: Dagger Marley, 16-year-old niece of a Texas rancher rescues Blaine Howard, American free lance vagabond, from some Mexican insurgents. 1t develops that Howard was once a famous polo player, as was Dick Yelling, English fore man on the ranch of Dagger's uncle, Jim Marley, until he lost an arm. Towards and Welling's paths have crossed before, but they seem unwilling to discuss the past. Howard fingers at the ranch and beats Dagger at polo, riding and gambling. His character wins him the respect of everyone, and Dagger falls in love with him, though he fails to suspect it until one eve ming when they are out riding after dark.
