better start getting one shined up for
c. E. eagle, the one-armed star OF
Washington Golf and Country Club.
eagle, with only his good right arm
to swing the club, gets around that
hilly course in figures that many
two-armed and two-handed golfer
would envy. Scores of 76 to 80 roll
off his unerring clubs with consistent
regularity, and he hits the ball as far
and as straight as many man with
two rms.
It's all a matter of timing to hit a
golf ball correctly, or so the experts
tell us. That being true, any one who
watches eagle smack the ball must
admit he has achieved unusually good
timing without the balance of his left
arm and hand on the club. OF course,
he doesn't hit 'em as far as Tommy
Webb or Jimmy Corcoran or some OF
the other long-hitting gents at Wash
tngton, but eagle can hold his own
in any driving competition for men
of moderate length.

Upper Potomac and Pa

Greatly Reduced.

P7 the Associated Press.
BALTIMORE, September 5.-Frank
L. Bentz of the Conservation Commits
sion said yesterday that pollution in
both the Patapsco and the Upper
Potomac Rivers has been greatly re-
duced.
The Potomac pollution became seri-
GUS when the level of the river was
lowered so much that the water did
not dilute the industrial and civic
wastes Several hundred fish were
killed before higher water removed
the immediate cause.
Bentz said that a series Of confer
ences with owners of distilleries and
other industrial plants along the
Patapsco had reduced the pollution so
much that he believed fish would live
in the stream. Bass will be planted
in it this Fall, he said, in an effort to
restock it.
There we're some bass in 1t last
Spring" Bentz said, but I doubt IL
they have lived through the Summer"
Most of the wastes in the Patapsco
we're from distilleries and canneries,
he said. The distilleries have agreed
to dry their wastes, he said. The
dried mash can then be used for
cattle food. and the liquids are driven
off in the drying process. reducing
the amount of waste poured into the

They were taken by means Of a slit

graph only the calcium, or calcium

other rays were screened out. The
exposures varied from 20 to so sec
onds each, with IA seconds between
frames.
Some of the astronomers made the
guess that the rainbows are due to
clouds Of ultra violet light high above
the sun Such clouds would be in
visible because ultraviolet cannot be
seen in cooling, they would condense
into visible burning gases. Because
they are presumably electrically
charged the flaming particles would
not fall straight down but in the
