ROBERT HUNTER. well known
American golfer Of the 1oO0's. PLAYED
q round with Ball at Hoylake and
spins the following yarn concerning
It:
Lying In the rough or in the
bunker and playing the odd. Balls
eyes would sparkle and Ne would
remark with his characteristic drawl.
There Is no use playing this out.
Suppose you give me a half
With my ball on the green. o.
near Il, ! would. on course. refuse.
Every time Ne made the request Ne
won the hOlei Once ne holed from
the rough and once from a bunker.
AFTER this had happened four
times 7 remarked that I should al
ways thereafter give him a half
whenever he asked for ii.
We were then about % play one
Of the testing holes Of Hovlake. the
short thirteenth. The player Is fac
Cd there by an ugly formidable
bunker. He must pitch over this TO
q narrow green beyond. which If
! remember correctly slopes away
from the shot. In any case. a per-
fectly placed cut was required when
- plays such shots with Il mashie.
Johnny. trying evidently to but
the utmost bite on the bali. pushed
q shot out 10 the right and IL lay
az least twenty yards from the pin.
MY pitch just carried the bunker
and lay about eight feet from the
cup.
I was feeling quite satisfied with
myself when Johnny, leaning over 10
line up his putt, greatly disconccrt-
ed me By asking: win you give me
a half?'
You can't ask for a half here
I answered, 4 have a putt for a
two
Well. 7 also have a putt FOR A
two. and remember you promised me
a half whenever / asked it,
But ! wouldn't concede III and hc

BY the Associated Press.


VIENNA, July Robustness and pro-
fessional women OF "a countries were
urged here last night by Lena Madesin
Phillips Of New York, president of their
International Congress. to work for
disarmament and peace.
Asserting women have proved them
selves equal to men in mental powers
even though We may not be their equals
In experience" Miss Phillips, president
of the International Federation OF
Business and Professional Women'E
about the destruction of racial and
economic barriers"
This" she said. as woman's hour
her hour to strike for the achievement
Of that which is closest to her heart
disarmament among the nations and
peace throughout the world.
Generations of women, patient and
long suffering, have endured the hor-
rors and the hardships which come
from war. They have paid the greatest
price in anguish and want and priva-
ton. They have given up their sons and
their husbands as q sacrifice to the
gods of war.
But today women have q new power
Millions of women in my own land
many more millions of women in Europe
have the right Of suffrage. In my coun-
try it Is estimated that women control
IS per cent of the national expenditures
They have the voting power, the finan-
cial power. They could raise theiI
voices against this powerful holocaust
of war and make them heard through
out the earth.
"Yet they hang back. bound by ira
dition, bound by age-old inhibitions.
Tonight, women Of many nations,
appeal to you to abandon your attitude
Of conservatism, to break with tradition
to repudiate, II need be, your politica
Affiliations and to demand boldly thai
justice be done to all peoples and thai
war be made no more"

James Myers, its industrial secretary
is conducting an investigation Of con-
ditions in the bituminous coal strike
area Of Western Pennsylvania and West
Virginia.
Myers, whose ONCE in New York to-
day said he feared further violence
would result II men are driven to
further desperation by the sight Of the
suffering of their families"
The Federal Council made survey
Of the situation in 1927 and 1928, when
miners were on strike in the two fields,
and Mr. Myers said he had found con-
ditions had not improved since the
previous inquiry.
Cut throat competition among the
operators themselves and between the
various districts have still further low
cred the standards Of the industry. in
creasing the difficulty of employers to
do business and bringing many workers
to the verge Of starvation" the indus

He said there were two things
urgently needed. First. adequate relief
for all in distress. and second, q more
statesmanlike organization Of the in
dustry itself to stabilize at least mini
mum wages"
