L 4 this-that Bobby Jones still is
hitting every type of shot
down the fairway and up to the green
as well as he ever did, but that he
happened to run into Soggy patch
of putting, just as every golfer has
done at one time or another, dNffer
or star.
He had been putting extremely well
up to within two days of the tourna-
ment. One has to putt extremely we'll
to play this course between IS and
70, which he had been doing.
Then suddenly that old touch
and confidence vanished. But his
wooden club play and his iron play
was magnificent throughout.
Jones played his full share of bril-
liant shots. and it was an old-time
thrill to see him and Walter Hagen
playing together once more, even If
both might have had far lower scores
with better results around the cup.

RICH ARE TOLD I HEIR PROFITS
 MUST BE SHARED
Warning Given by College Reinforcement May
 May Act or Mobs Will

WASHINGTON, Oct. 19. - The Rev. Dr. Edmund A. Walsh, prom inent Jesuit, and Vice-President of the Georgetown University, speak ing to the Student Assembly at the American University, warned the rich to share their profits more equitably" or their wealth will be seized. If they shirk to clear their social responsibility one of two things will happen, Dr.. Walsh said, either the Govern ment will be obliged to conscript their wealth under general well fare clause, or mobs will rudely confiscate it."
 Continuing Dr. Walsh said: "The new conception of social justice is now maturing in the minds Of men and this will increasingly de- mand a more equitable distribution of the fruits of industry's net income, resulting, as it does, from joint action. This net income must be spread so as to promote the common good of society and not be selfishly monopolized by one of the partners"

IN
 DOLLAR OF U. s.
 INDICATED NOW
Avoidance of Further h. flation Commented on
 by Wall Streeters

NEW YORK, Oct. 19.-Avoid- ance of serious imitation in the United States, say a number of Wall Street authorities, depends on the ability of business recov- cry to catch up with the Gov ernment spending
 In these quarters uneasiness over further devaluation of the dollar over silver or any new monetary experimentation is largely subsid- ing.
 Confidence in Dollar
 Wall Street authorities have confidence in the dollar for the near future, at least. In the long run, they say, continued large deficits that may have to be ex- pended, will have inflationary ef- fects as they had in various coun- tries in the past.
 Employment is Good
 Opinions differ as to how long these deficits may continue, but if economic history teaches anything some economists point out, a day of reckoning must eventually come, therefore the crux of the problem of keeping the dollar sound, according to this analysis, is restoring employment.

ROANOKE, Virginia, Oct. 19.- Without mentioning the bonus, President Roosevelt told the Ma tion's War Veterans they are bet ter off than any other great group of citizens and called to their at tention the needs of the under privileged forgotten" in every To- cality.
 Dedicating the new Veterans Hospital here, President Roosevelt pledged anew the Administration policy that the disabled and sick veterans should be accorded the best treatment which medical and surgical science can supply"
 Plain Warning
 With the American Legion Ma tional Convention at Miami only a few days off, the Presidents re- marks are plainly a warning the Government is in no position to pay a cash bonus at this time
 "It must remain our constant objective to eliminate the causes of depression and drags on pros perity and it will cost money to do it." the President said.
 Assurance to Business
 At the same time, the President gave assurance to business and fi- nancial circles with the statement that fin the spending of this money we must have due regard for the good credit of the Gov ernment of the United States. That means we cannot spend at once or in any even year all we could usefully spend"
 Country Better Off
 The President said he agreed with those who feel the country is distinctly better off from a material point of view than last year. There are other people who fail to think of things and forget one cause for depression, which we are beginning to leave behind, was the very existence of hundreds of thousands of men, women and children who have been and will continue to be, a definite drag against the return of prosperity" !"
 The Veterans hospital, near here, comprises 16 buildings and is the latest of a series of neu- ropsychiaric institutions which the Veterans Bureau has established since the World War.

EZRA Officials Claim Sys- tenn Maintains Better
 Morale than Doles

WASHINGTON, Oct. 19.-Work- relief will likely be one Govern ment answer to so-called perma- nent unemployment. This became clear when officials disclosed they were testing various methods of work relief from one end of the country to another.
 A survey showed that one million and three quarter persons, most of them heads of families, are working for relief payments.
 Many experts gave a warning that the country must expect to have a large body of jobless people for years to come. They claim the dole is cheaper than work relief but EZRA officials say the practice of making jobs for un- employed maintains the morale better besides producing public improvements and goods.
