WRITE TO CCC BOY

Dear Miss Fairfax:
"The hard times certainly
were hard times to some real
good friends and neighbOrs Of
ours. They got down to the last
cent, and then their father COM
mitted suicide. The boy / had
grown up with, and hoped some
day to marry, had to leave col
lege and take any kind Of work
he could get. He used to deliver
groceries for q chain store in
a kids wagon, and he would try
not to see me or speak to me
when We met, but 1 always in
sisted on speaking to him.
''NOw he is with the CCC and
sends every penny Of his pay to
his mother. 1 want to write to
him, but I don't want it to look
as if I was forcing myself on
him. Do you think it would be
all right If sent him q letter
without any love in it?
"MILLIE."
Please don't delay another
minute, but write a letter imme.
diately to the boy in the CCC,
who's had such a hard time. I
think you're a splendid friend
for him to have made, and my
best to you both.

ARE DRINKS NEEDED


when gave my graduation
party, my mother and / thought
the refreshments were o. *. We
had sandwiches, ice cream, cake
and nice fruit punch with no
stick in it. Some of the boys
in my class asked to bring more
boys, and two or three of these
were young college men. They
tasted the fruit punch, made
faces, and asking If teething
rattles were being served. This
/ thought was pretty fresh.
When my back was turned, one
Of these boys emptied his pocket
flask into the punch bowl.
81 went right away and told
mamma, and she had the maid
remove the punch bowl and
empty it down the kitchen sink.
We didn't make any more fruit
punch, but set out ice water in
gObletS. At first it had D bad
effect on the party, but when
we began to dance, everything
got all right again. The boy
who had poured in the liquor
went home early. Is liquor
necessary at . young peoples
party? ''BLANCHE."
Liquor is not only unneces-
sary at a young peoples party
such as you describe, but it is
very bad form indeed to serve
intoxicants. And home was the
proper place for the young man
who had the effrontery to
empty his flask in the punch
bowl. He had positively no
manners, and whoever brought
him owed you an apology.

DEMPSEY PRAISES
BRADDOCK'S SKILL
Challenger Surprises Him.
Boxing Well and Is in
Great Condition.

Former world HeavvTeEht Champion
7 OCH sHELDRAKE. N. Y. June
Al was sgreeably surprised
at the fighting form shown by
James J. Braddock. challenger
for the heavyweight championship of
the world, in his training here
There was only one criticism I
might make. and I'll make 1t right
at the outset: I don't think Brad
dock does enough mitigating. I'd
like to see him do a little more ex-
ecution when he gets in close and
his sparring partners try to get him
in a clinch Aside from that. Brad
dock is boxing excellently. and he's in
superb physical condition.
The atmosphere here-and I don't
mean the airs much more in keep
ing with a real training camp than
it is down at Max Baer's place in
Asbury Park Here everything is
done seriously. Not solemnly, for
there's plenty OF fun and horseplay
when Braddock Is not working. but
Jimmy himself takes little or no part
in it.

THAT doesn't mean Braddock. Is
worrying over the outcome of the
fight He told me that to him Baer

be very good when the time comes.

what Baer is doing at his camp,

mind on getting into the finest condi-
ton I ever was in. You know. Jack.

SEES HIS CHANCES

Golf to Win, No Matter
Where They Play.
BY ROB CAVAGNARO,
Associated Press Sports Writer.


ITTSBURGH, June 4.-Oak-
- mont holds no particular hor-
ror for Olin Dutra.
AS a matter Of fact. the big
and swarthy Californian. who will
start defense of the national open
golf title on that treacherous set-up
Thursday. has shocked native links
disciples by refusing to shake In his
boots every time he gazes down the
first fairways and emissions the swift
and slippery green's along the l8-hole
route.
A vell-meaning spectator. viewing
the 162 contestants in practice, walked
I'D to Dutra and said he always wanted
to shake the hand of a champion.
Dutra stuck out his big right paw
obligingly and smiled a characteristic
smile.
Not Sorry for Himself.
Zee, Mr.. Dutra." the spectator said.
~ L feel awful sorry for you having
to defend the title here. Aren't you
afraid. doesn't the course frighten
you bit?"
Dutra has the happy faculty of
automatically saying the right thing
at the right time. but this time he
exploded somewhat of a bombshell!
No. I don't feel sorry for myself,
nor do I fear the course. It's the
finest test of golf I've ever played and
like all good courses it will reward
good golf. and only good golf wins
championships.
After all. why SHOULD I fear Oak
mont any more than any of the other
fellows I'm not throwing the party
here any more than I was at Marion
a year ago Wednesday night I'll
hand over the championship cup to
the United States Golf Association and
then I'll be exactly where I was a year
ago this time"
Accuracy Is Essential.
OAKMoNT measures s.ss1 yards
~ and calls for some distance, but
more than that. accuracy is required.
There are 300 treacherous traps strewn
around the links and an off-line shot
into any of them will more than likely
result In stroke penalty owing to the
deep ridges.
IF a fellow has to get into the traps
he'd better make sure they're the ones
around the green" Dutra said. "other-
wise he'll be lucky to get out Of those
within driving distance of the tees in
one shot
The green's are calculated to take
q heavier toll Of wasted strokes than
recoveries from traps. They're large
and undulating and the surfaces are
lightning fast and deceptive. On some
holes the green's slope away from the
tees. making it extremely exacting to
make approaches stick.
In other words the greens will be
more dificult to negotiate than the
trans. and the concensus Is the man
who can get down in the orthodox
strokes will be on top Saturday or
right in the thick of the contention.
