pastime, too. when Saunders and Hen
son claShed in the title match, veteran
pitchers, like ball players of another
day, commented in surprise at the
clever hurting now being displayed by
youngsters.
It is no longer an old mans game,
as it was once said of golf. But a
youngsters pastime, game for youth
with plenty of stamina. Older men can
no longer stand the grind of the sort
Of competition offered by the youngsters.
And the players are becoming
psychologists and strategiSts. They are
acquiring little tricks of taking the
other man of his game, and learning
new ways Of maneuvering him out Of
getting of mis- pet filings.
But above everything that is fine and
entertaining about this game of horse
shoe hurting is the sportsmanship of
the fans. cannot tell you whether
it's universal. but it's here in Virginia.
And that spirit here Is going to keep
the game on high level.

An Ignored Law
Fred T. McCall's Group Finds Torrens
Act Little [ sed.

Research by Fred B. Mccall,
of Chapel Hill, assisted by a
group Of University law STU
dents, has brought out the fact
that not more than 500 tracts
Of land in this state are regis
tered under the Torrens law, al
though this law was established
in 1913. SO writes Marion
Alexander in the Chdrlotte Ob-
sHruer.
The Torrens law is designed
to do away with the cumbrous
system Of looking up titles. 1t
gives the land owner a certlfi-
cate Of title which, after pre-
scribed procedure, acts as con-
elusive evidence Of ownership.
Both lawyers and the public
seem to be ignorant Of the act,
the findings show.

The Money Rights of Women

lament has Just passed bill
which gives to wives q legal
right 10 q share Of their hus-
bands earnings for household
expenses.
On the question of equal
wages for equal work, d report
from Budapest shows that the
inequality is not always on the
feminine side. The Budapest
Theatre Managers Union is said

of pay per night al s35 for
actresses and S27.50 for actors.
Ardent supporters Of women's

II seems doubtful whether this
policy will be widely initiated

Lots of us are driving horses
now. Couldn't spare money yet
TO buy a license. Saving it for
fertilizer. Get half license in
June and get full value. We've
got to drive horses until June.
Couldn't you donate Us a va
cant lot to hitch in? III help
furnish the posts if you will. a
road machine is a mighty poor
thing TO hitch to.
The horses have pretty
tough time. There's not much
chance to get fed and less to get
watered on market days. It
wouldn't cost much. Just take
"a little resolution and d few
posts and some boxes and a
bucket.

ROBERT MONTGOMERY IN
"THE MAN IN POSSESSION

Robert Montgomery learned how to
drop his HIS from no less an authority
than P. G. Wodehouse for his role of
the English butler in The Man in
Possession" his new Metro Goldwyn-
Mayer picture which will open Sunday
at the Opera House.
Wodehouse, who supplied additional
dialogue for the perturbation of the
H. M. HARDWOOD stage farce, counseled
Montgomery on the art of slicing the
HIS off words on which they belong
and taking them on where they have
no business.
That's the secret of English dia-
lect," the noted British humorist told
Montgomery. do anything back
wards and you are sure to get a
laugh"
Use of such Picadilly outbursts as
l"Pip-pip!," "Right-Ho!," "Cherrio!,"
and "Chin-C hin!," were suggested by
Wodehouse to add emphasis to definite
declarations.
They add-well- sound so
bally-that is to say-well, bally-if

Wodehouse, creator of Jeeves and other
lnimitable English fiction characters.
Sam Wood directed the new Mont
gomery picture with Charlotte Green
wood heading the supporting cast
which includes Irene Purcell, c. Aubrey
Smith, Beryl Mercer, Reginald Owen
and Allan Mowbray.
Montgomery is seen as young
Englshman who poses as butler for
the attractive but penniless young
widow who is trying to entangle his
brother into marriage for his money.
All sorts of complications arise. In
the end he marries the widow himself
