Merryman Tough Pickin's.
VYyHERE two years ago the former
.tW Westminster College athlete
had no serious competitor here
about in the art of throwing ringers
he now has several and in Merryman
one of the toughest. The Bladens-
burger is heaving hree-pointers with
greater regularity than did Saunders
when the latter cleaned up the Metro
politan area in 1880 and 1881, and
Merryman today would be choice prey
for Handsome Harry.
Saunders for a while was so domi-
nant it seems strange he should be a
minor figure as the horseshoe pitchers
look to the sixth Metropolitan tourna-
ment. In the grand finale last year he
was defeated With little ado by Hub
bard Quantrille. Washington titleholder.
and since has been little mentioned as
a horseshoe pitcher. This has been due
no doubt to Saunders adoption of golf
for a while as a major hobby. He did
well in several important golf tourna-
ments of the last two months, but with
big doings not far ahead in the realm
of horseshoeS his attention once more
is becoming centered in this game, well
come news to host Of admirers.

= EVENLY MILLION rounds of
- golf played during 1932-an
~ OF year.
More rounds of golf played
over the 5,000-odd courses in
America than there were specta-
, tors at all the major and minor
league base ball games, all the
major foot ball games, all the
leading racing meets and all the
league hockey games and the
leading prize fights combined.
This is the way the game of golf has
gripped the United States. according to
Golflng, the poppy little magazine pub
lished by the GRATIS Bros. in Chicago,
which is distributed to nearly half a
million members of most Of the aoun-
try clubs in the United States free of
charge each month. Golfing has moth
ing to sell and therefore has no ak to
grind. It exists because the men who
advertise merchandise which might be
bought by golfers buy space in the
magazine.
Washington . Leader.
TTOW many Of these rounds Of golf
II were played at Washington
courses? The two major public
courses-East Potomac Park and Rock
Creek Park-average about 100000
rounds Of golf each year, which Is much
more than any private club can show,
because public links golfers, as a class,
get up earlier and play longer hours
than the golfers at the private clubs.
Taken as whole, the private clubs
would show high average If they had
so rounds Of golf played day through
out the year, which would show for
the IL private clubs about Washington,
about 100000 rounds of golf a year.
But when you add the 100000 rounds
CT golf played at the public courses to
the total for the private clubs you have
about half a million rounds Of golf
played around Washington every year.
That Is lot of golf, whether played
by the gent who counts his day well
spent when he breaks 100 or by the
expert, who thinks every stroke above
rs is so much waste motion. For its
size Washington probably has more
golf and more golfers than any city
in the East.

There is such a fear of war, that the

Now Spending Millions
Even pacifist nations, which have
not had wars for generations are at

Sweden, Norway. Switzerland, Denmark,
are all fastening their war preparations
and are spending today millions of dol
lars for their national defense
They are taxing their treasures

In the words of one opposition news
paper, a new national party was not to
be formed-it was just to happen, that
event surprising nobody more than its
participants.
Placed in Dilemma.
The formation of national party
would consolidate the position Of Mac
Donald and Sir John. Without it they
feel they are in dilemma-that If they
fight in the next election as heads OF
independent parties they are likely tc
come back to Westminster as leaders
without parties, while If they fight under
the Conservative banner they woulc
have to accept the decisions OF Tory
caucus and might not even be leaders.
One possible solution would be fol
both of them and j. H. Thomas to take
peerages, but so long as they are firmly
convinced of their indispensability in the
cabinet, as they seem to be today, this
will be unlikely.

Il i have long been past for US to
experience the old Christmas
excitement; there may be no children

invite exhilaration; We may regard the
morning newspaper as gloomster. But
We feel We must have Christmas

1t is SO every December, and it used
to be easy enough. 1t is only during
the last four years that it has become
an effort. Now the habit is formed and
we have come to associate Christmas
thoughts with a, sickly smile. But this
is one more trick played upon us by
habit or imitativeness. In 1888 we fool
ishly copy our resigned self of 1882,

A not inconsiderable part of what we
should be grateful for is in our very
selves, in changes gradually brought
about by the disciplining we have been
going through. We used to waste our
possibilities for happiness. We had no
notion that there was such thing as
small change in well being and we left
in the bank of life innumerable minor
satisfactions which might have been
made the most Of It takes sickness to

All psychologists will tell you that a
kind word, strain of music, pleasant

even on a person who knows he is
sentenced to death. But it takes us a
lifetime to teach us that the art of
being happy consists in learning to be
happy on things which would seem
great If they were not within reach all
the time. No boy who reads in his
Greek history that all the favors which
Diogenes wanted of Alexander were
