that only at three greens did he have to putt from further than 12 feet and twice on these occasions he was down with two butts. Bur- ton Is about 25 years old. He was runner-up In the recent Southport tourney and Is considered Q prob ability for the Ryder Cup matches to be held at Ridgewood, N. J" this autumn.
 Cotton. the ( to betting favor ltc, scored 71 at Muirheld. He was out In 34 and home in 37.
 Cotton played brilliant round. failing to hit par at only three holes, the second and ninth where he had birdies, and the short 18th where he was one over.
 Joe Kirkwood of Chicago had an even par round at, Muirheld while Joe Ezar of Waco, Tex, clowned his way to "a, one over part at Gullane.
 Cotton, drawing a huge gallery, was occasionally guilty of ap. proaching too body, but hts only real mistake came at the 13th where he needed three-putts after getting home with his tee shot His tee shot at the 14th just trick led Into q bunker. He got out well. but ran up weakly and only by laying a long approach putt close to the pin did he manage to save Q par.
 Kirkwood was repeatedly guilty of both undorclubbing and over- clubbing on tho first few holes, but his recoveries were good. He was cratic on the greens. He took three butts on each of the third and sixth holes, but ran down a curling four footer for q deuce on the fourth.
 Kirky showed an amazing apti- tude for staying out of trouble. Not until the 18th was he ever In a bunker and this lapse cost him Q >6, ono over par.
 Ezar amused the crowd with his usual repetoire of pranks, and played hot-and. cold golf, but oqualed par at each of the first seven holes. At the eighth he was 24 fcet shy with his approach and needed three butts for 6, ono over par.
 Ho wavered somewhat as he started back. He bunkered his drive at the tenth but managed q par, and then three-putted the eleventh to lose Q stroke. He play Ad some great recoveries, notably at the 17th where he sliced his teo shot but put his second three fou, from tho pin to get a par 3.
 Henry Picard of Hershey, Pa, a 40-t shot in the closing betting was out In 80 at Muirfeid, He missed par at each of three holes.
 "FIi" was cratic with his drives, only twice hitting the falrways. To make matters worse he obtained a ready knowledge of Muirheld's fla nous bunkers. He sank @ 12-foot putt to save a par at the first hole but missed four-footer and missed par at the second.
 Again at the fourth, his butter played him false, four-footer go- ing a good six inches wide. Picard tried to cut the corner at the dog legged eighth and just missed a nasty nest of bunkers but bunkered his second and needed two butts after getting home with his third.
 Picard played erratically on the back nine. He had an eagle at the 14th, but offset this at the 18th where he took 6, two over par. His eagle was almost a dodo for his 16O-yard second shot to this 45S-yard, spar hole stopped one foot sho:t of the cup. Picard pull ed most of his tee shots on the in- ward nine. and often followed an offiine drive with a pulled second.

Arkansas Is Willing.

From the San Antonio Evening News.
Assuming that the action by the
House at Little Rock represents the
popular will, Arkansas is ready to
serve as the Roosevelt administra-
tion's guinea pig" for trying out new
Brain Trust" ideas. Having taken
seriously Secretary Wallace's proposal
that four economic councillors" be
appointed "to pass on key questions
Of national policy and submit them
to popular vote" the legislators fer
mally invited the Secretary of Agri-
culture to come to Little Rock and
explain his idea in detail. They in
dicated their willingness-not vet
ratified by the Senate or by the citi-
zens-to let the Government first
TRY 1t on Arkansas"
The resolution pointed to all the
benefits which would accrue TO the
State from such program. Appar-
emily the lawmakers do not count on
any scheme failing to work. However,
their faith In the Brain Trusts infal-
Hbility is no more remarkable than
the Secretary's belief in the peoples
capacity for settling economic issues
which have puzzled the country's
ablest experts. Ones faith in the
Arkansas electorate's qualifications to
serve as an economic Supreme Court"
may be shaken when one recalls that

"riders." Among them is the question
Of the payment Of the prevailing
wage" or the so-called security wage
to those employed on the work relier
projects. Senator Wagner of New
York, stanch administration supporter
and New Dealer, came out yesterday
in favor of the McCarran amendment
for the payment of prevailing wage.
This may not have been unexpected.
At the same time it was a blow to the
administration hopes.
Senator Wagner Is one of those
who believe that the adoption of q
plan to pay $500, 900 relief workers an
average Of $50 month would tend
to bring down the whole wage scale in
private industry. What kind Of re-
covery can We build" said Senator
Wagner to the Senate, "by assaulting
the standards Of life of the worker?"
He declared that the general wage
levels in private employment would
come tumbling down to the security
level with the certainty that the river
finds the sea-" Many Of the Senators
entertain opinions similar to those
ofs Mr.. Wagner, and many Of them
will vote those opinions when the
showdown comes on the McCarran
amendment.
The Democratic leadership. while
hopeful of an early disposition Of the
work relief bill, scarcely believes there
is a chance for a final vote on the
measure this week. The magnitude
of the sums of money involved in the
bill and the provision for the expend-
iture of this money entirely at the
discretion of the Chief Executive,
without any guidance from the Con-
gress, has weighed upon the minds of
many of the Senators. 1t is foreign
to the manner in which Congress has
dealt with money matters in the past.
Senators are wondering what it augurs
for the future.

Not the National Gallery.

Nothing is further from the wish
Of Andrew W. Mellon than any desire
to hurt the National Gallery of Art
project, first formulated many years
ago and repeatedly urged by leading
citizens IN Washington and elsewhere
throughout the country. The former
Secretary Of the Treasury plans no
such comprehensive establishment. On
the contrary, he has stipulated that
his gift is separate and distinct in
stitution-a collection OF old masters,
a building to shelter that collection
and an endowment to enlarge it from
time to time.
The National Gallery of Art, as
outlined by the late DR.. william II.
Holmes, should be of far wider scope.
It should be large enough to accom-

In the Name of Relief.

The work relief bill, which holds
the center of the stage in the Senate
today, will be made the vehicle for
consideration of and action upon the
pet projects of a number of Senators.
Already Senator Thomas Of Okla
homa, encouraged by the decision Of
the Supreme Court in the gold cases,
has proposed an amendment to the
work relief bill which would expand
the currency by about a billion dollars,
mostly through the added use of silver
coins and certificates issued against
silver now owned by the Government
or to be purchased. Senator La
Toilette of Wisconsin has offered an
amendment which may be considered
more germane to the bill than that
of the Oklahoma Senator. The La
Toilette proposal is to add q second
title to the bill, providing $500, ,00o,-
900 for public works. This is not an
addition to the lump sum Of "a, 49,
100000, which Is placed at the DISPOSE
ton Of the President by the terms Of
the present bill. It merely supple
ments this work relief program Of the
administration, providing for a con-
tinuance Of the Public Works Ad-
ministration and supplying funds for
various classifications Of projects.
There lies in the ofi1ing, too, an
amendment to pay the soldiers bonus
out Of the funds appropriated in the
work relief bill, not to mention addi-
tional currency imitation amendments.
These amendments for the most part
will be defeated, it Is believed. But
their mere consideration may take
time. There are plenty Of serious
problems directly connected with this
work relief bill for the Senate without

WASHINGTON OBSERVATIONS
BY FREDERIC WILLIAM VILE.

new legislative measures to which the
Government might have had recourse
In case Of q rebuff In the Supreme
Court. Arrangements for remedial
action were perfected in meticulous
detail. They would have been sprung
and conSummated at q rate Of speed
comparable only to wartime emer-
gency laws.
With gold worries out Of the way,
full steam ahead Is now the order of
the day with respect to the Roose-
velt legislative program. Work re-
lief, social security, banking reform,
N. r. A. renewal, the holding COM
panies bill and other must" pro-
posals will be pressed forthwith.
House. and Senate Democratic leader
ship will be marked by corresponding
vigor and confidence. Failure of the
Supreme Court to vindicate the Pres
ident's gold measures would have ma
terially cramped the administration s
style. Republican emotions. in light
Of what has happened, reflect some
depression. The G. 0. P. would
have been in position to make no
little political hay out of q veto of
F. d. RS monetary policy.
Friends Of former Representative
Burton L. French, Republican, of
Idaho, who has recently been in
Washington, are hopeful of obtain
ing for him the Republican vacancy
on the Federal Trade Commission.
After Is terms in the House Mr..
French succumbed in the 1882 Demo-
cratic landslide. The Idahoan was
chiefly prominent in Congress as
chairman of the House Subcommittee
on Naval Appropriations. Big Navy
ties long found him stumbling block.
Once upon time French aspired to
sit alongside Mr.. Borah as Senator
from Idaho, but failed of nomination.
To reap advantage from rising meat
prices. to which, the A. A. A. has been
calling attention, the Fish and Sea
Food Institute Of the United States
has Just been established. It wants
people to know that the country pos
sesses a natural food resource, the
prices Of which to date have not been
affected by the general rise in the
cost Of household necessities. Based
upon sea food landed in the principal
ports of New England, the institute
cites Bureau Of Fisheries figures for
November, 1884, the latest available,
showing that fish prices were only
SO per cent of those in November,
1928, and the lowest that have pre-
vailed for seven years.

Q. VIII birds be poisoned II they
eat insects which are poisoned when
spraying trees?-E. B. K.
A. The Bureau Of Biological SURVEY
says that as rule there Is no
danger to birds from insects which
are poisoned by spraying trees. In
sectivorous birds rarely pick up dead
insects, but choose live and active in
dividuals as their prey. Furthermore
the number Of poisoned insects which
might be picked up under adverse
food conditions would hardly con-
tain enough poison to constitute a
lethal dose. 1t is only If a large meal
Of poisoned insects were eaten that
harmful results might be expected.
