even joke about it, those Senators
who represent the old order. For Wal

Sporting Spirit Impels.

THE former champion herself asserts
she has no plans at present and
that, if she decides to enter cham
pionship competition next Summer
such decision will come "at the last
moment" Which was precisely what
she said last year.
But in 1895 Mrs Moody had a burn
ing desire to meet Miss Helen Jacobs
and thus mitigate, if not obliterate,
memories of that Septem-
Der afternoon in 1888 when her in
jured back caused her to default while
trailing in thrilling title match
against her sister Californian.
Having accomplished this come
back, the outcome of which bordered
on the miraculous, the girl lacks in
centive of any similar poignancy. I'M
pelling influences would relate to a
normal disinclination of one who has
known greatness to acknowledge to
herself. or to others. that time and
circumstance have robbed her of that
which was once hers-this and that
sheer innate sporting spirit without
which no one ever became champion

Farley Merely Exercises

Farley Merely Exercises.
nNCE in while bland Jim Farley,
chief dispenser of patronage and
chairman of the Democratic Nation
al Committee, takes his clubs in hand
and joins his confreres in a round of
golf, but smiling Jim Is not a men,
Der Of Burning Tree, nor Is he a
golfer fit to cope with the Harrisons,
the Aliens, the Bottoms and the Kle-
bergs. Jim likes the game but he
plays 1t for exercise On the oppo-
site side Of the political fence from
the New Dealers comes Henry P.
Fletcher, chairman of the Republican
National Committee, who, as Under
secretary OF State. was one of Presi-
dent Harding's golfing pals in those
old days when Harding used to play
every morning around sun-up with
Senators Frelinghuysen of New Jer-
sey and Hale of Maine, and OCCASION
ally with Kellogg of Minnesota, then
F1etcher's boss at the State Depart
ment. Hale is the only remaining
member of that group Of Republicans.
They still laugh at Burning Tree
about an incident concerning Henry P.
Fletcher in the shower room not long
ago. The showers at the club are so
arranged that the water is turned on
from the outside, and with the cur
tains drawn it is confusing to one un-
familiar with the layout to know which
particular bath enclosure is occupied.
Fletcher stepped into the shower room
sans clothes and blithely turned on the
cold water in bath enclosure occu-
pied at the time by Democratic SEN
etor. The Senator was luxuriating in
warm water at the moment, and the
sudden flood of cold water came as a
distinct shock. who turned on that
cold water?" he yelled. "I'll bet 1t was
some Republican, Fletcher flung
back the curtains and Joined in the
laugh.
Two New Golf Wrinkles.
MOT to be outdone in devising new
ways of betting on golf matches,
the ofiicial crowd at Burning Tree has
put into use a couple of new methods
of wagering which give 'em plenty of
fun. They are called backgammon"
and "yardage" and both of 'em are
lethal If they are played for substan-
tial piece of change. The yardage
game is simple enough. as usually it is
played at Burning Tree at the rate Of
] cent yard at match play. But
its no game for the short, accurate
shooter who may win all the short
holes and lose the long ones. It doesn't
pay to win 160-yard hole at $1.60
and lose 470-yarder at $4.70. The
Backgammon game is played In four
ball matches, with the initial stake
usually SO cents per man. Each side
has the privilege of doubling" which
raises the stake to one buck per man,
and then the opposing side may re
double" which makes the stake 50 per
man. They play this one all the time

Will Gather
At Ancient Church
Crown Prince Invited
To Attend Fete to
Honor Pioneers

WILMINGTON, Del, Nov. II
Q.N.SO.-In 1899 all the Sweds
in America worshiped at little "Old
Swedes Church." built in the wild
erness by the children of the first
settlers of the Delaware Valley.
Today thousands of the 100000
Americans of Swedish descent pre-
pared for a 1888 hegira to the tiny
house of worship to pay homage
to the first settlers in the Della
ware Valley tercentenary celebra-
ton.
AS the most tangible legacy from
the Swedish pioneers, the modern
Swedish-Americans will center
their celebration in the little stone
church, believed the oldest church
building in use in America today.
The story of the church is the
story of the SwedeS in America.
Construction of the one-Story build
ing with small, smooth, irregular
stones was the symbol of the con-
quest of the wilderness.
Then came the Dutch and the
English with stronger forces than
the SWedeS. The little colony be.
came dominated by the newcomers
and the church, late in the 18th
century, shifted from Lutheran to
Episcopalian, the Church of Eng
land.
The change in sect was another
symbol, showing the domination
of America by the English and
the merging of the little colony
with the rest Of the Atlantic Sea-
board settlements.
But even after the church be-
came Episcopalian it held it's name
Swedes Church" With
the name it remained the symbol
of the early SwedeS, a monument
to their work in settling America.
Now the simple little building
may be honored with the presence,
not only of the leading Swedish
Americans, but the Swedish Crown
Prince Gustav Adolf. Tercenten-
ary leaders announced they hoped
the Prince would be able to make
his second American visit to at
tend the celebration.

PWAPR0GRAN
WILL ASK NO
MORE FUNDS

International News Service
Although the Public Works Ad-
ministration already has 2,716
projects approved and on file,
calling for $491 .325,157 in Federal
loans and grants for non-Federal
projects, there will be no demand
On Congress for a big PWA ap-
preparation, unless Congress in
itiates such a move, officials said
today.
PWA is going ahead to com
plete its present program, for
which it has $200,O00,000 available
for grants from its revolving fund,
and approximately $150,000, 900
for loans. The program also
calls for completion of 4,824
projects now under way, under
allotments from previous funds.
Want Permanent Plan
PWA officials would like to see
approved permanent Public
Works program that could be re-
duced in good times and increased
rapidly in times of unemployment,
without having to start from
scratch" as was the case when
PWA was created in 1888 as one
OF the major emergency agencies.
Said a spokesman for PWA Ad-
miniStrator IckeS:
"Whether PWA receives any
appropriation for new nOn-Fed-
eral projects is entirely up to
the President and the Congress.
PWA was created as an emer-
gency organization. Now we
are looking ahead with a long
range viewpoint, with the aim
that, should another period of
unemployment come, the Fed
eral Government would be ready
with projects which could be.
launched quickly, to provide en-
plOyment."
The $2OO,O0O,OO0 from PWA's
revolving fund which is available
for grants comes from $300,000,-
900 given PWA by Congress last
year. Only $1OO,000,O0O in loans
and grants has thus far been ap-
proved by the President for the
current fiscal years program, end
Ing July l next.
Loss 2 Billions
Since PWA was launched in
1888, along with NRA, the AAA,
FERA and other emergency or
ganizations, loans totaling $780,
992,498, and grants totaling $685.
3O7,359, have been made to States,
municipalities and other appll-
cants on 8,714 non-Federal projects,
having a total construction cost
Of $2,259, ,9O1 SOB. The applicants
have provided $S14,501,755 to-
ward the cost, in addition to Sc
curities for the loans. ..
Total construction cost Of the
2,716 projects on file which al
ready have been approved, but for
which no money has been made
available, would be $830,351,612,
toward which the applicants would
provide SIS per cent, according to
PWA files.
In addition, PWA has more than
1000 project applications on which
no action has been taken because

The return must be made to the

This list should include the un-

Halliday said. He recalled the
case of a midwest youth arrested

Authorities in the home state
taxed the hoarder of the money
for two years back.
Is money on deposit in a bank

Halliday explained that the money

the bank. Under a new law. a
bank pays a tax TO the state which
is based on its net income, some
thing on the order of a public

CROP PROSPECTS DECIDEDLY POOR, COvT.FORECASTS
Situation, However, Is by No Means Alarming,
 at Present Time

WASHINGTON, July l1.-Defin- itely poorer crop prospects on July 1 than at that time for any previous year except 1884 but with ample prospective yields described by some officials as about ample for domes- tic needs were reported yesterday in the governments monthly fore- cast based on conditions existing ten days before. The blisterins weather of early July was described by some veterans as conservative.
 The report indicated that the wheat production of 638,399,000 bushels is a decrease of 15,000,000 bushels over the actual harvest of 1885 Corn, hay, feed and other crops are also down, however, the situation is by no means alarm ng unless there be further cuts by un- ayorable weather in August.
 Officials sad that the harvest, with carryoyer from last year, would be about 23090000 bushels more than the average domestic ons1mptlon of about 6i0,000000
 ushels
