Early Golf

There is considerable evidence to
support the theory that the game of
golf originated in Holland as far
back as 1900 A. D. Certain it is
that "kolf' was played in Holland
at the beginning of the Fifteenth
century in the streets, church
squares and church yards in the
summer, and on the ice in the winter.
This is definitely proved by old
Delft" tiles which date back to
that period and show 'kolfers" dur
ing the upswing and at the address
of the ball. Further evidence of
the Dutch origin of the game is quite
apparent in its nomenclature. Such
words as "stymie,'' - ''dormie." and
putt" can all be traced directly 20
the Dutch.

NEW YORK, April 2S.-Pushing
ahead to the highest level ever re-

3,496, 400 barrels daily during the week
ended April "a, according to the
American Petroleum Institute. This
was an increase of 32,850 barrels q
day.
Despite the sharp rise in the flow of
oil, heavy Spring consumption caused
a dip in gasoline supplies at reflneries,
terminals and in transit to 62,303 900
barrels at the end OF the week from
2,703,000 in the previous week.
Production east of California was
again responsible for most of the gain
In crude output.
Reports received from reflners op-
Grating 80 per cent of the industrys
capacity indicate the industry ran 81
$4,000 barrels Of crude daily into the
reineries. The same companies in the
preceding period, operating at slower
rate, started 3,055,00 barrelSs daily
through the refining plants
Cracked gasoline was estimated by
the institute to have totaled 7l5,O00
barrels daily, an increase of IS, 900
barrels.
Imports Of crude and refined oils
were 1,3l4,000 barrels for the week,
against l,253,O0o the week before. Re-
