RAIN CAUSES
CHANGES FOR
GOLF MATCH
BY STUART CAMERON
United Press Staff Correspondent

CLEVELAND. Sept. 9.-Playing
en- a course sodden after an all
night rain and in the face of a
continued shower, Robert C. Fisher
of Jamestown, N. Y. and Jack
Munger of Dallas, Texas, teed off
today in the opening match of the
United States amateur golf cham
pionship.
The country club course was a
virtual swamp. a shower began just
as the final practice puts were sunk
last evening and the rain still was
falling heavily this morning.
Because of the soggy condition of
the course, three special rules were
provided. A ball on the green may
be lifted, cleaned and replaced. A
ball embedded through the green"
(anywhere on the course between
the tee and the green except haz~
ards) may be lifted, cleaned and
dropped, and a ball embedded on
the green may be lifted, cleaned
and placed not nearer the cup.

An-Star Teams
To Resume Feud

Smarting under the 5-4 setback
handed them Friday night, the
Brawley All Stars will return to
Wilson school field tonight for the
second game of the intercity series

ball team. The game Friday was
one of the best seen here in many
moons and with the Brawleyites all
popped up for an upset victory over
their rivals another bangup game
is in order tonight.

pitching assignment for tonight
and will endeavor to make it two in

4 LEAGUE To
RESUME PLAY.

With but three weeks remaining
in the A league nightball season
the teams swing into action again
tomorrow night when the Steam
Laundry takes on the Cramer Bak-
cry team. On Wednesday night
the Fat Boys tackle the Flying AS
and on Thursday the CUHS and
Coca Colas tangle.
From present indications it ap-
pears that the Fat Boys have the
inside track for the second half
championship and will play the
Bakers for the seasons honors in
the playoff series. The Cramer
team won first half honors handi-
ly but since losing their star hurl-
er, Lynn Stewart, they have found
the going extremely tough.
The Fat Boys cut a wide swath
through the opposition with Homer
Chambers doing the mound work
and even without him in the last
two games they have kept up their
pacemaking stride towards the sec
ond half championship. Chambers
is expected to return here within a
short time. according to reports.

In a communication quoted by
"Wrangler" in the Canning Trade"
DR.. Biting says in part:
II am convinced that Nicholas
Appert was tine ma who discovered
the art of preserving food by treat
ing the same with heat and holding
it in q dramatically sealed containcr.
l believe his title is as clear in this
respect as that of Morse for the teie-
graph, Bell for the telephone. or
Edison for his numerous inventions,
It is true that Appert was not the
first to preserve foods by what we
term canning. He never made such
a claim. That was done after a
fashion for two hundred years be-
fore his time. But no one knew
why it kept sometimes and spoiled
at others. The closest approach to
the work of Appert is that of penys
about a hundred and tna::.y
Eve years before"

Results of experiments compar. ing weather records taken at points in Connecticut only seven miles apart reveal the need for many more weather stations in the states according to data just handed to Director William l.. Slate of the Experiment Station nt New Haven. The report shows that even in so close a range the temperature may vary from one to three points in summer and to a much wider degree in winter. Sim liar differences are noted in the rainfall and wind velocity.
 Accurate weather records are important to many fields of human endeavor, especially agriculture,I states Dr Friend.

10000 JOBS TO
 BE HANDED OUT

Washington, Feb. 22.-UPO.- Patronage disgruntled democratic congressman prepared today to submit to eco Director Robert Fechner the names of deserving constituents for 10000 jobs in eco camps.
 Speaker Joseph W. Byrns in a party caucus late yesterday pro- voked cheers when he said the 10.- 900 jobs as superintendents and foremen at eco camps would be distributed shortly. Byrns made clear today, however, he did not mean that these jobs would be available purely as democratic con- gressional patronage, but that members could submit their can- didates and take a chance on find- ing jobs for constituents.
 The jobs would be created in expansion of the eco as phase of the new work relief program.

Williamsport. Pa, Feb 22- IU; P.)-Authorities to-day appealed to the Lycoming County Medical Society to aid in checking the prac- tice of Hexerai in rural and urban districts following the recent butcher knife slashing of an eight months old child.
 The medical society was asked by District Attorney John C.. Youngman to furnish him with the names of "Hex" doctors.
 MT and Mrs John Fritz, of Sal- ladsburg, said a woman "Hex" doc- tor advised them to leave James Leroy with his older brother, John Jr, who slashed the infant.
 Charles M. Fry, investigator for the state bureau of medical educa- tion and licensure, began probe of the practice of weird rites which date from the witch-craft of the middle ages.

RUMOR OF MUMMY
 CURATORS
Visitors Flock to Paris to Look at Intriguing
 Cleopatra

Paris (UP)-Cleopatra may in- trigue some people, but she's just 6 nuisance to the solemn curators of the National Library in Paris.
 The curators appreciated the Queen of Egypt as much as any, body else until about 50 years ago, but in the last five decades she has made them wish fervently that she hadn't got so muhc publicity.
 One day about 50 years ago, the story got out-nobody knows how that Cleopatra's mummy was in the National Library. The librari- ans said they had never seen her mummy, but that made no differ ence. People started to come and ask to look at 1t. Some whispered that they would give anything to be alone with 1t for @ while just to contemplate the remains of such beauty and see what would hap pen. There were pleas and at- tempted bribes.
 Visitors came in droves and asked to be shown Cleopatra. The curators wrung their hands and called for kind newspapermen to write stories spiking the rumor. The newspapermen wrote the stories, but 1t didn't help. The next generation of newspapermen also wrote stories, but visitors still asked daily to see Cleopatra's mummy, just for minute.
 A third generation of news papermen-the present one-wrote more stories. but the venerable rumor remained as lusty' as ever Everybody wants to see Cleo.
 The librarians are ready to givs up. They have nightmares, but they don't know what to do about It. It has been suggested that they get a mummy and advertise it all over as Cleopatra's. Then perhaps people would indignantly say 1t was fake and stop coming.
