Likes Astoria Bent.

II DON'T think you can point to any
one strain of putting green grass
and call it the best" says Fits. Local
conditions vary SO widely and even on
the same golf course that you have
to keep constantly experimenting to
find the grass that will stand up best
under the Summer heat we have here
in Washington.
But I think that We may be able
TO find putting green grasses that will
suit every course. There's a wide
variety of them, you know, and if
greenkeepers experiment they can find
the grass best suited to their local
condition"
Fits has done some experimenting
with Cocos bent, from Oregon, on
some of the greens at Columbia. But
not so many days ago that grass was
attacked by brown patch, while set
ting of so-called Astoria bent, on the
same green and under the same con-
ditions, was not touched by brown
patch.
THAT would seem to indicate that
Astoria bent may be the best for our
green's" he says. But we can't be
sure until We give it a longer and
more complete trial. The only way
to find out is to give it a thorough
test under all climatic conditions"
Pros Vary on Grasses.
IT'S strange thing, too, how some
of the pros who make their liveli-
hood from golf, find that some strains
of bent do not fit in with their ideas
of proper putting green grass. Some
species of bent grasses. among them
the Washington bent, have a distinct
grain.
Against the green the ball will roll
IN hippety-hop fashion, while down
the grain it will run true and fast.
Other bents, which form a heavy
mat on the ground, do not have any
appreciable grain. Some day soon we
may, through the good work of the
Greens Section, find strains of grass
that fit the conditions peculiar to each
golf course" Fits says.

SO-2O-3O

In A RECENT study of American
highways, with particular atten-
ton paid to the relation of roads
to safe driving, the magazine For
tune" said: The cold fact is that
traffic today is a combination of
an eiehty-mi -an-hour car in the
hands of a twenty mi1e.an-hour
driver struggling to adjust itself
to a thirty mile hour road "
There is little we can do about
the car in this case-its speeds
will continue to increase, and the
antomotive engineers have done
wonders in improving the safety
factor brakes, lights, steering
mechanisms and body cOnstTuc-
ton approach perfection.
There is something we can do
about the highway, as the Fortune
article shows. it says that hail
the roads of the country are OBJ
solete. Ii points out that engine
ers have devised the model high
way of the future-a road with
over and under passes at inter
sections, with a wide dividing
island down the center to prevent
head on crashes. and with separate
lanes for slow and fast traffic.
Such highways will be built but
their cost is gigantic, technical
problems are involved. and it will
be many years before the mileage
of such super highways will
amount to much in relation to the
total mileage of all roads.
So in the meantime, about all
we can do about the automobile
accident problem is to work OF"
the twentv-mile an-hour driver
with his eighty-mile- IAN. hour car
We must revise and make more
stringent our licensing laws-it is
an undeniabIe fact that yer.
high percentage of present drivers
are incapable of :'operatiog their
vehicles safely under modern traf-
fic and road conditions. We must
keep our traffic laws up-to date
and we must enforce. them with
out fear or favor. we must i'm
prove the personnel of highway
patrols and, in many states great
ly increase the number of men on
the Iorce. The best highway
patrolman alive cannot prevent
accidents nor apprehend many |
reckless motorists if he has hun I
dreds of miles of road to cover.
The human element is respons.
ble for the great majority of
accidents. We must make it
IMPOSSIBLE for the tWanty.mile-an

Insurgent troops in Burgos are
visiting the tomb of the Cid,
famed hero of the Middle Ages,
to swear a holy oath to drive out
the Reds as the Cid once drove
out the Moors. His tomb, in the
center of the famous Burgos
Cathedral, gives the date Of his
death as 1899, and ever since
then Spanish warriors have found
inspiration at it's side.
Today we watched young mon

Red berets and kneel with their

priests blessed them and blessed
their arms.
The burning Of churches and
the killing of priests is reported
to be still going on in red centers,
and the mass of Catholics is con-
WINGED that victory for red Madrid
now would mean untold suffering
for the church in Spain.
All Madrid parties are anti
clerical, and the strongest of
them, the Socialists and Com
muniSts, are militantly atheistic.
If the Communists were to gain
control, it is considered certain
that they would attempt to abolish
the church to the same extent as
it has been abolished in Russia.
