Importance of Fountain
Invention Doubtful.

Whence came this characteristically
American "institution"-th absence
of which makes other lands foreign?
During the years 1922 there were
seven American patents issued within
few months of each other for soda
fountains" nS"-according to the CEN
tury-old journals of the Franklin
Institute at the National Museum.
Few men did more toward providing
the molds of the twentieth century
way of life of the United States than
those obscure inventors whose names
long since have passed into oblivion.
All these men, living in different
parts of the country. seem to have
been struck by a common inspiration
at about the same time to produce
something with no very immediate
utility since the day of the drug store
soda fountain still was couple of
generations in the future. They met
little but ridicule in their own day
and in the pages of the very journal
which recorded their achievements.

BY THOMAS r. HENRY.

Just after the Armistice in 1918,
when American troops were about to
start their long march from the Meuse
to the Rhine, there was much specula-
ton as to what would be found over
the German border.
Some of the accounts which filtered
through we're almost too glowing to be
entirely credited by the disillusioned
soldiers.
"They say''-a Texas cowboy was
eXcitedly spreading some OF the
rumors he had absorbed--"that it's
just like home. There's drug store
with a soda fountain in every town"
AS it turned out, there was not. But
in his naive remark the soldier had
stressed one of the earmarks OF
America-the corner drug store with
its soda fountain. Largely due to its
complete absence. France never had
seemed "homelike" Nor was England,
or Italay or Belgium or Germany.

B0NTHR0N NEXT
FOR CUNNINGHAM
Mile Duel With American
Record Holder May Come
in N. Y. A. c. Meet.
BY B. GREGORY HEWLETT,
Associated Press Sports Writer.

n EWARK, N. j., February
nj 6.-Glenn Cunningham,
v smooth-working piece of
running machinery from
the University of Kansas, is
impatient for his long g-awaited
meeting with Bill Bonthron,
Princeton'S holder of the Amer
lean mile record.
The sensational Midwesterner dis
cuSSed the anticipated dash last night
after he had shown some 5000 New
Jerseyans what a near-perfect foot
racer he is.
He said he had expected to face the
Princeton captain over the mile dis
tance in Boston next Saturday, but
he now understood Bonthron had de-
cided to switch to the 1,000-yard
event
So he's counting on the New York
A. C. games February II as the first
chance he'll get to come face to face
any switch in plans then, he'll be
about ready to think Bonthron is
side-stepping the opportunity.
Last night, competing in special
half-mile race with picked field that
included Frank Nordell. New York
University star; Dean Woolsey of the
Boston A. A., and Joe Chapman Of
the Newark A. c., Cunningham estab-
lished a new record for the 18th Reg
iment Armory of minute 81 seconds
1t was beautiful race Cunningham
ran and was the high light of the
eighth annual Seton Hall college
games. It overshadowed the victory
of Milt Sander of the German Amer

L wondering what will happen
in this year, 1884, it is the COM
ing Augusta open tourney in
which the master of all shot
makers and the one man who
can pack EN- in at the gate
will make his first start in 3l2
years.
Bobby Jones, the settled business
man, who hasn't hit shot in compe-
tition since he snuffed out the cham
pionship aspirations of Gene HomanS
at Merton back in September, 1880, is
going to return to the golf wars for
one tournament at least. and not a
few of the men who follow golf affairs
are wondering whether the great Rob-
ert Tyre may regard this event as
possible tune-up for the open cham
pionship. now held by Johnny Good
man, the lad who was the last amateur
to beat Jones in any golf tournament.
Coveted invitations to the Augusta
event now are out. They read as fol-
lows:
The board of governors of the Au-
guSta National Golf Club cordially
invite you to take part in the clubs
first annual invitation golf tourna-
ment, to be held on its course at
Augusta, Ga. on the 22d. 23d, oath
and 25th days of March, 1884" The
invitation Is signed by Alfred S.

Yound Of golf a day and will have
plenty OF time to admire the peach

its century-old colonnade of magnolia

spot and the grace that will be that OF
the old master Jones as he matches
shots once again with his professional
friends. q lot of amateurs are laying
even money that Bob will return to
the championships again if he wins
that affair at Augusta.
Those Augusta tournaments used
TO be Bob's own personally conducted
affairs. He trained for the bigger
tourneys on the Augusta tournaments
and in 1880 he started the year OF the
