~ FF1CIALS Of the United
4 States Golf Association
~ are looking forward to the
results of the first sec
tional qualification for the nation
al amateur championship with
much interest, and no little trepi-
dalton.
Sectional qualifying for the
amateur championship this year
will be in the nature of an ex-
pertinent and from it the United
States Golf Association hopes to
obtain information that will en-
able it to make the system more
satisfactory in the future.
The decision to attempt sectional
qualifying in the amateur did not per-
NIT the U. S. G. A. opportunity to set
up any methods that would guarantee
satisfaction for this year. Consequent
ly the qualifying rounds will be played
in the same 20 regions where the tests
for the National Open are staged.
fields will be limited to those with a
handicap of four or less and II is ex-
pected that the field will total close to
200. From that horde a field of ap-
prcximately $50 will be selected to COM
pete in further 36-hole medal test at
Beverley County Club at Chicago, where
the amateur championship will be played
in September.
VIII Affect Good Players.
It is rather obvious that many fine
golfers will be eliminated in the sec
tional tests and that some very ordi-
nary players will benefit from the medi-
Ocrity of their regional competition and
win place in the qualifying rounds at
Beverly.
If the results Of this years sectional
rounds are not satisfactory the U. S.
G. A. likely will reduce the number of
regional tryoutS for 1882 and give a
greater proportional representation to
the metropolitan centers. The qualify
ing rounds in July also will give the
U. S. G.. A. better appreciation of the
value Of club handicaps and the qualifi-
cations for admission to the sectional
fields also may be frightened.
The U. S. G. A. does not believe the
sectional qualifying plan will be pan
acea for all of the troubles in the Sc
leCtlOIl OL q IlClu IOE Tile NdLlOtldI AHA
teur, but 1t does think the scheme ulti-
mately will produce the best results.
The old plan Of selection by committee
was proving archaic and when the num-
Der Of applicants for places in the quail
flying field at Merton Cricket Club last
year reached $40 the U. S. @. A. was
forced to give the sectional scheme a
trial.
Young Amateurs Get Chance.
Under the sectional qualifying plan
young amateurs viii be given chance
to show their worth and no longer will
be denied the opportunity Of trial. At
the same time many of the veterans
who have been admitted to the quail
flying rounds on past performances
either must produce or step aside.
Most of the complaints on the re-
suits of this years qualifying rounds
will come from the larger centers,
where there are a greater number of
star amateurs. Not all of them will
qualify, but there's nothing the U. S.
G.. A. can do about 1t, and this year
there win be a lot Of new names and
strange faces I'm the field at Beverly

Too Drastic Action

The introduction of a bill in the New York state legis-
iature TO ban all gang motion pictures seems altogether
loo drastic a measure at this time. It would mean. in
ERECT, that all pictures which show gangsters in action
could not be shown on the screen. The central theme If
the film would be ignored.
The intent, undoubtedly, is to prevent children and
retarded adults from seeing movies which will suggest a
lie OF crime. The intent is good. This might be accom-
plished by other methods, perhaps by not allowing chill
dren to see gang pictures. The retarded and easily-swav-
ed adult would be another problem.
But the fact remains that there have been good gang
pictures. Any person who sees the current film in which
a gallant but totterlng old Civil War veteran goes to the
stand, despite a threat of death. and testifies against
gunner, cannot help but be inspir II to do the same thing
II the emergency arrives. And yet that is a gang picture.
The problem demands the pressure of common sense, not
ruthless and unthinking censorship.

"A Chance For Disarmament

Q. Elliott, economist of the Midland Bank of Cleveland.
touches on a factor that might be of considerable i'm
portance in next years disarmament conference.
After remarking that a scaling down of war debts
and Preparations is extremely probable, and pointing out
that the United States would bear most of the actual loss
in such an arrangement, the economist remarks:
IF this country should consent to such a reduction.
she logically has a right to protect herself from a recur-
renee OF conditions which caused these debts-in other
words, from another World War. In return for scaling
down war debts and Preparations, we could demand at
least partial disarmament on all sides"

Daily Health
Talk

Psychologists who have studied
the problem Of fatigue have made
a significant contribution to the
means for overcoming 1t. What
the worker wants to do is to get as
much done In q given time as pos
sible, and at the same time TO get
II done with the least expenditure
OF energy. The using up OF energy
leads to fatigue, and continued ia
tigue. as has been pointed out.
means i'll health, i~nefficiency and
discomfort.
AL sorts Of panaceas for pep,
punch and vitality have been Of
fered with the claim that they
overcome fatigue or prevent its
development. Actually there Is little
or nothing that can be taken out
OF q bottle that will prevent IA
tigue.
Alcohol gives an impression of
well-being that may cause the
worker to put on more effort. but
ths- is merely whipping up a tired
horse. The same is true q coffee.
which contains the drug caffein
that has the power to speed up the
brain.
During the World Power, reports
were circulated regarding the pro-
motion Of muscular activity and the
prevention Of fatigue in both man
and animals through the giving OF
sodium phosphate. Patent .edi-
cines based on this substance have
appeared both in Germany and in
this country. The investigations
made by the United Stat Public
Health Service showed that the
only beneficial effect was the feel
ing OF w~ell-being that resulted
from stimulation Of the intestinal
tract and the elimination OF body
wastes.
The endurance OF a man Is gov-
erned by two things: the greater
the income OF oxygen during exer-
else. the longer a man car 20 on.
and the more severe exercise he
Tan undertake. The greater the
oxygen debt be can carry, the
