The most needed reform Is concerned
with the size of the holes. The present
ones are much too small" asserts the
Ann Arbor Daily News Viewing the
whole field and admitting uncertainties
regarding the ball, that paper offers the
suggestions: "Of course, there could be
corresponding changes in other utensils
of the game. The ball is not every
thing. Why not, for instance, use a
hundred-pound shot and fire 1t from a
cannon? Or there could be hammer
on the driver with an opening In which
a cartridge might be inserted. Then,
again. the fairway could be eliminated,
or the rough could be smoothed. It
depends upon whether 1t is desirable
to make the game harder or easier But
1t Is barely possible such changes are
not at present practical. The Idea of
the powers that be apparently is that
there should be a new type of ball every
year. Perhaps the big shots who make
the decisions are automobile manu-

Keen Contest Starts
For Oldest Realty
Dealer of Nation
Claim of Hartford Board
of Dean HOnOrs Brings
Scores of Competitors.

A real contest Is developing over the
question Of who in the United States
has been engaged In real estate business
continuously for the longest time.
It all started when the Hartford
Real Estate Board paid honor on Sep
TENDER 10 to Joseph Buths as being
the dean Of veteran realtors and chal-
lenged the country to beat his record
of continuous activity.
This challenge was published by the
National Association Of Real Estate
Board and since then nominations Tor
others for the honor were dispatched
to Headquarters of the national body.
For instance, 1t is claimed that the
veteran Mr.. ButhS, despite his long
career, was but a mere boy IN school
when william A. Bond of Chicago
opened his real estate office March ],
1871.
The Offices of Mr.. Bond, it is re-
ported, are lined with several hundred
well worn books containing his valu-
atoms of Chicago properties, which
the great IRE. Mr.. Bond Is Q charter
member of the Chicago Real Estate
Board, was its president In 1898 and
is a former vice president of the Chi
cago Chamber of Commerce.
In Chicago also is Edgar M. Snow,
who entered the real estate business
only two years after Mr.. Bond opened
his first office. Mr.. Snow had been
selling Chicago real estate for eight
years before the veteran Mr.. Buths
began to appraise Hartford properties in
1881.
And Portland, Greg, presents Henry
w. Fries, who started in the real estate
business there in 1879. He began as
ONCE boy with the firm Of which he
is now president. That same year he
bought his first piece Of ground and
had to handle the transaction through
third party because he was a minor.
