~ UESTION-Several professionals
have advised me that a player
Intentionally endeavoring to
stroke the ball on the first tee OF
match does not lose stroke by whif1-
ing on the first tee, on the theory
that the match has not begun, and
the ball is not in play until it is
struck.
Answer-A stroke is the forward
movement of the club made with the
intention of striking the ball. Ac-
cordingly, a player swinging his club
with the intent to hit the ball. but
missing it, is charged with a stroke
on the first tee as well as anywhere
else on the course.
Question: was playing four
some when one of my opponents
drove his ball in shallow trap
guarding green. Within club
length of his ball was cover hydrant
not in the trap, but in the fairway.
The hydrant cover was not in any
way interfering with a golf swing and
was not in the line of play. My op-
ponent, having bad lie, claimed that
being within a club length he had
the right to pick up his ball and drop
it behind his shoulder in the trap at
the regular distance
Answer-As the players stroke was
in no way interfered with by the
hydrant cover, he had no right to lift
and drop elsewhere, even had the ball
not been in a trap.

GOVERNING BODY
SHOWS PATIENCE
Thousands of Knotty Points
in Code Strengthened
Every Season.
BY w. r. McCALLUM.

A MBIGUOUS as they seem
n at a casual reading, the
~ rules of golf are being
n clarified every day by the
United States Golf Association,
which is going further this year
to bring about unanimlty OF
opinion on the meaning OF the
rules than ever before.
The governing body of national golf
has thousands of inquiries addressed
to il each year seeking interpretations
of the rules. 1t answers them pa
tiently and carefully, no matter how
misinformed the inquirer may be
Only lately it has come to the knowl-
edge of one of the local pros that some
of his members have been mis-
informed as to the penalty incurred
when a ball lies in a water h@Zard.
The calm was made that penalty
of distance only was incurred, under
a new U. S. G. A. ruling. ms is
an example of how badly informed
some players may be.
Here are a few typical U. S. G. A.
interpretations of the rules, made pub

have two water holes, with the water
in front of the tee in both cases. we
have made a local rule to the effect
that when ball is driven into the
water it may be teed again, with the
loss of distance only. There has
been some comment and question as
to whether or not the club has the
authority to make such local rule.
Answer-The U. S. G. A. has never
sanctioned the remission of the PEN
atty stroke when ball is played into
a water hazard. but 1t has no author
ity to regulate local rules, much as 1t
deprecates departures from the rules
of the game
Question-When there is a referee
in a match. does he walk onto the
green and stand beside the pin while
the contestants approach the green?
Should the referee stand aside from
the green and let the caddy hold the
pin? If the referee takes charge OF
the pin. what would be the ruling If
one of the contestants we're to hit it?
Answer-The U. S. G. A. has con-
sistently ruled that a referee should
take no part in the conduct OF a
match and should not 60 on the green
except to give a decision as to which
ball is away. He should not stand
beside the f1agstick. If, however, a
referee does take the f1agstick. 1t has
heretofore been held that he is to be
considered as the caddy of the player
making the shot.

r ONDON, July THE fine
| old British practice of

- rights to big sports events
often affords the paying GUS
toners more entertainment than
the main spectacle itself.
There's a never-ending war between
the big motion picture company, which
has a virtual monopoly on the prin-
cipal events and the smaller organiza-
tions intent upon "pirating" action

Everything from smoke flares to
captive balloons are used by the
boys of the monopoly to preserve their
rights. and even then they have a
raw, rough fight on their hands.
For, in addition to ferreting out and
eJecting the dozens of camera men
who slip through the turnstiles with
powerful little picture boxes hidden
under their coats, they must battle
the long-range machines trained from

Four-Day Battle.

THE latest and one of the most
spectacular battle of wits took
place during the opening test
cricket match between England and
Australia. at Nottingham. 1t lasted
four days and was a darb.
The outsiders, or anti-monopolists,
rented themselves the front yard OF
a home across from the hallowed
cricket grounds the day before the
match started and put up a 30-foot
tower. But when they got all ready
to start shooting the next morning.
the insiders calmly strung 20-foot
high netting that effectively blocked
the view from the tower
So, during the night, up went the
tower to so feet. Thrown up by local
carpenters in a hurry. it was pretty
f1imsy looking, especially when dozen
or so husky camera men got crowded
together up on the top platform. But
it held, and the crowd cheered the
lads roundly for their daring. What
the monopolists said about it was a
different matter. They got busy.
When the third day dawned cap
tive balloon, 20 feet across and fes-
tooned with flags and banners. foated
majestically up from inside the fence,
1t stymied the pirates" completely,
and furthermore was guarded by three
toueh-looking customers employed by

Research and Synthesis.
Cincinnati Enuuirer.)

Careful research in the social sciences tends. as
always. to become more concrete end more ex-
haustive. The books written history and politics.
economics and geography, even though for general
sale rather than strictly scholarly uses follow the
same tendency They subdvide the subject matter
more infinitely and deal with it more thoroughly
AS long the material is handled interestingly
as well as accurately there be little complaint
of this trend
There is another class of books which is in
creasingy popular and which in addition holds
promise of great usefulness That is the synthesis
OF available information a broad subject some
times written by individual sometimes complied
from the writings of number of authoritative
specialists Such books tend to assume colossal
proportions and yet sell at reasonable price
Such inaccurate but comprehensive and easily
read books as H. G.. Weiss Outline of History
set the fashion for the latter type of synthesis
g. D. H. Cole, the oxford economist has improved
on this technic with his little volume What Eyery-
one Wants to Know About Money" therein taking
narrower field and yet bringing a wealth of
diverse talents into the job and again in his
Europe Today" with broader field Walter Lang
SAM OF Columbia University, has performed sim
liar service in THE World Since 1914"
There is greater danger in the process OF
synthesis especially since scholars are trained
Tor exhaustive research and in graduate school lose
some of the breadth and freshness of approach
essential to successful synthesis Shoddy books are
most frequent In the realm of 'popuarzation
which includes many synthesis or compendums
But the need is great for readable and COM
prehensive volumes devoted to broad fields of know
ledge. AS the years pass more and more persons
are involved-at least in the remaining democratic
countres-in the making of major social decisions
II they are to keep abreast of their problems thew
must have accurate and yet comprehensive books

our graduate schools might let up on footnote chas-
ing for bit and train few men to synthesze

THE ALASKA BUDGET.

The Alaska section of the Presidential budget
reflects the desire of the President to reduce the
regular operating expenses of the Cove nment. The
amount TO reach activity of the Federal Government
is slightly lower for the coming fiscal year than was
appropriated for it during the current one The
decrease, however is large in particular instance,
except that for the Alaska Railroad, and no par
tcular injury, far be now, will be
done to any agency of the Federal Government. The
management Of the Alaska Railroad recently an
nounced it would not operate at loss during the
fiscal year beginning next July l. Thus it is not
necessary to seek funds to the usual deficit
Due to the Federal emergency funds that have
been allotted to the Territory since last Summer,
much of which is not yet expended, there will be
a great deal more activity by the Government
agencies here during the next fiscal year than
there been this year and for several years past
1t is evident Alaska will not suffer slightly
from the reduced budget.

The Consumer in Recovery.
Cincinnati Enquirer

tClnclnnau enquirer
Although have paid lip service to the hege-
mony of the consumer in economic system for
many years. it is undeniable that the United States
has Jagged far behind other countries in develop
ing machinery for the expression of the consumers
point of view on concrete problems.
While England and Scotland and number Of
Continental nations have tremendous devel-
opment of unofficial semi-offcial agencies to
represent the interests of consumers as SUCH we
in America have relied the basic privilege of the
consumer to buy what he wants and reject what
he does not want.
OF course that is the consumers strongest weapon,
and always will be- But the exigencies of the MIRA
and related movements have shown that there is
legitimate place for the representatives of
sumers. In connection with some other matters,
such as tariff rates. there might well be provision
for hearing the point of view of consumers as
well producers.
To date the consumers councils sponsored by the
MIRA have not been strikingy effective But the
machinery is only partially completed, and in an
other month or two we may find that this end of
the recovery machinery is playing important role
This will be the more true if price increases go
so far as to increase the cost of living considerably
and make consumers more self-conscous.
Whatever the developments along this line we
should remember that the fundamental long-run in
terests of consumers nearly identical with those
of producers A workman is consumer in respect
of his expenditures, but his income is dependent
on the well-beng of producer whose employee
he is. manufacturer thinks of himself as a
producer, but the market for his product depends
on the buying power of consumers a whole.

INCOME TAX REVISION.

Among the proposals for Congressional action
at the current session is revision of the income
tax laws Secretary Morgenthau has asked that
adjustments be made to tighten up the oopholes
through which some of the richest men in the
country evaded payment within the bounds of
legality Details of how the evasion were made
were barred in hearings of the Senate Banking
Committee during the past summer. 1t is proposed
now to prevent future occurrences of this nature.
1t is proposed by Secretary Morgenthau to change
the capital gains tax that it will allow deduc-
tons of capital losses only from capital gains and
to permit the carrying forward of losses only for
one year. which will make it more equitable and
at the same time more productive of revenue This
will tend to remove the anamolous situation whereby
modest bank clerk pays $50 income tax while
wealthy banker pays nothing. BY permitting
losses to be carried forward year. the plan
seems to avoid undue hardship those whose
incomes largely speculative.
Inasmuch as they expected to produce con-
siderable additional revenue the taxation proposals
may be regarded a burden on taxpayers as a
whole. This is undesirable but apparently in
evitabe.

An Ascending Spiral.
(Kansas City Times.)

OF all the achievements of the Roosevelt Ad-
ministration, since its brilliant handling of the
banking situation at the outset the institution of
the Civil Works Administration has produced the
most direct and effective results
The $400000000 that is being expended to put
men to work on local projects is getting the money
to the grass roots. 1t is taking families off the
relief rolls and permitting their breadwinners to
earn living. Their earnings are going for the
purchase of goods which in turn is increasing en-
ployment in the stores, and is being reflected back
to the primary manufacturing and raw material
industries.
For just as the descending spiral of unemploy-
ment tends to increase the number of men thrown
out of work by constantly cutting down the demand
for goods, SO the ascending spiral tends to bring
back to work and restore business to normal
basis where there can be a constant exchange of
goods and services.
