BY w. II. McCALLUM.

~ GLAND r. MACKENZIE hasn't
l. played golf more than 10 or a
dozen times since early last
March, but his game has lost
none of the sting that placed him
among the first five or six American
amateur golfers back in 1925 and
1926. He may not win the Chevy
Chase tournament today, or he may
but his appearance in the Chevy Chase
classic has done more to stir up inter-
est among the old timers of golf-and
a lot of newcomers to the game, too
than any single entrant could nave
aroused. Many times, while the young
Columbia star was playing Ted Bur-
rows Yesterday, we heard the gal
leryites remark how familiar it was to
be tramping along behind Mackenzie,
watching his graceful golf swing, and
marveling at the distance he gets with
that well grooved and accurate stroke
impaired to MIN by Freddie Mcleod a
decade ago, when Mackenzie was a
kid attending Western High School.
Seems like old times" they said,
Ito be watching Roland perform again
around Washington. And he hasn't
changed a bit. He hits them just as
far as he ever did and he's the
same fine youngster We have always
admired"
THERE'S no doubt that Roland's
i entry in the Chevy Chase event,
which ends today, has stirred up
a lot of interest among the old-timers
in the game. He entered the semi-flnal
in the tourney with as fine an eXhibi-
ton of golf as he ever put on when he
was an up and coming young star, play
ing the rugged Chevy Chase course in
q fiat 10 against Burrows and vanquish-
ing the District municipal links cham
pion by and 2. He met Fred Hitz,
the young Chevy Chase barrister, in
one semi-final today and was favored
to advance to the final round, where, If
he wins, he will meet the victor of the
Harry Pitt-Monro Hunter match.
Driving with a club which has face
more than two inches deep, Roland is
hitting that ball further than any con-
testant in the tournament. Against
Burrows yesterday he whacked one en-
the second hole far more than 300
yards. The hole plays more than 400
yards from the back tee and Roland
was well past the pin with an easy
mashie-niblick second shot. He was in
front of Burrows for practically the
entire distance, holding a putt on the
first green for 3, being / up at the
turn and clinching the match with a
bird on the fifteenth, as a pop-eyed
gallery whispered in awe: Roland is
back. And howl No doubt about it,
the entry of the Columbia youngster in
the Chevy Chase tournament has caused
more interest than that of any other
single individual could possibly do.

This figure does not, however, include
property losses on eXtraSettlement

from shell explosions in which there

increase is due almost wholly to the

in 1917 numbered about 150.0 600. allow
ing more than 10000 to places selling
for home consumption.
The last Government enumeration of
saloons appears in the 1910 census.
This placed the number of proprietors
of saloons at $4,000 No record was
made of the inns and hotels where IL
quor was sold across the bar or at a
table. The only estimate of the num-
Der OF SpeakeaSles N the Nation, made
by one intimately associated with pro-
hlbltlon enforcement, is that of Maui
rice Campbell, former prohibition di-
rector for New York State. His figure
is 225,000. Grover Whalen. when po-
lice commissioner of New York City, es-
timated there were $4,000 speakeasies
in the metropolis in 1929. Both are
honest guesses.
The last Reproduction estimate of
employees in the industry is found on
page 260 of the Year Book of the
United States Brewers Association" for
1914. The number cited is 498,906,
and this included makers, distributors,
retailers, coopers and other allied
trades. OF this number 250,482 were
engaged IN retailing beers, wines and
whiskies.
2l,541 Seizures in Year.
Let us again cite the United States
Treasury report. In the year 1917,
1,2l7 breweries were making beer and
5oi dlStllleries were in operation
Fourteen years later, in 1881, there were
only six licensed whisky distilleries in
the united States, and a brewery did
not officially exist in the land: yet in
that year 21.54l distilleries and stills
We're seized along with 1884 ,628 gallons
OF distilled spirits, 5,319,613 gallons of
beer and 32,589,596 gallons Of wine,
cider, mash and pomace Not a brewery
was seized. OF late the Government
has been grouping the stills and distil-
them the number of stills and distil-
ierles was about equal.
Inc reader has seen the Govern
ments enumeration of prohibition ar
rests in 1931-76,4O1 It is conceded
by Government agents that this repre-
sents but fraction of the number
lowest guess is that the proportion is
one arrest to every four in the racket.
Others place it as high as one to ten.
ms would give us from 305, 5,6O4 to 1884,
olo porters, bartenders, speakeasy
owners, distributors, those engaged in
the manufacturing end, the smugglers,
gunner and overlords.
There can be no question of the
honesty of these estimates; only their
accuracy may be challenged. An at
tempt to strike an average would only
add to the number of guesses. But it
is likely that the bootleg racket, hav-
ing degenerated from a highly central
lied industry into a scattered, decen-
tralized, outlaw business, the number
engaged in it now is probably far less
than in 1914, when 4e8.9 .9O6 were legally

Bees Deplete Stores
During Mild Winter

The mild weather Of the present
winter, favorable to most farming OPP
erations in North Carolina, is unfa-
vorable to the beekeeper because the
bees are reused to activity and make
inroads on the food supply stored in
the hives.
G. L. Sans, specialist in beekeep--
ing at State College, makes the time
ly suggestion that owners of apiaries
should check their colonies from
time to time and find out the sup
ply of honey on hand. 1t is known
that the bees entered the winter in
better condition than was expected
after the light honey flow Of the fall.
A late drought caused a falling off in
the supply of nectar but as a gener-
al rule, the bees found enough BIOS
SONS to lay up a needed supply of
honey.
Some beekeepers may find it neces-
sary to feed their bees during the lat
ter part of the winter, says MI. Sans,
so that the colonies may meet the
spring nectar flow in strong condi-
| ton.

A POTATO SUBSTITUTE

Many persons like plain chestnuts
served as a dinner vegetable. They
may take the place of potatoes or be
served instead of a second vegetable.
The large Italian chestnuts look bet
ter, perhaps, but the others answer the
purpose. They should first be shelled
by cutting them with a cross and put
ting them with a little cooking oil in
a skillet and heating. After they are
shelled boil until tender. Mash and
serve with butter and salt.
CROQUETTES
Chestnuts make a very good substi-
tute for meat in the main course of
the meal. Here is a rule for making
croquettes that will serve as such a
dish or that may be used as an entree.
Shell about four dozen fair-sized chest
nuts as described above and boil about
a half hour. Put through the meat
grinder or a vegetable press, and add
two tablespoons of butter or sweet
cooking oil and pepper to season. Add
a cup of cream or rich milk and three
beaten eggs and mix we'll. Now cook
in a double boiler for ten minutes,
stirring to keep from Jumping. This
should be a thick paste. If not thin
enough add more cream. Allow it to
cool, form into croquettes, dip in egg
and cracker crumbs and fry in deep
fat.
MUFFINS
Boil one quart of chestnuts until
tender, remove the kernels and press
through a colander. Add to this one
teaspoon of salt, the yolks of two
eggs whipped into half a cup of milk.
Next stir in half a cup of flour con-
tanning one teaspoon of baking pow
der. Fold in the beaten whites of the
eggs and bake in pans.
GOOD NUT CAKES
One-third cup butter, n cup fine
granulated sugar, one and three-quar-
tiers cups sifted flour, two and one
half teaspoons baking powder, one
half cup milk, one-half teaspoon va
nilla, three egg whites, one-half cup
chopped nuts.
Cream the butter and sugar. Sift
the dry ingredients together: add part
of the creamed butter and sugar; add
the milk and the remainder of the dry
ingredients; beat thoroughly; add the
Aavoring and beat; add a part of the
chopped nuts, cut and fold in the
whites of the eggs beaten stiff. Turn
into tin and add the remainder of the
chopped nuts. Bake in a moderate over
thirty-hve or forty minutes.
BOILED FROSTING
2 cups sugar
IL cup water
; tbsps. syrup
2 egg whites.
Put sugar, water and syrup into a
saucepan and stir over fire until dis
solved. Cover and cook three minutes.
Uncover and cook GAO degrees F.)
until syrup spins a long thread. Pour
