The races between the quarter and

will be weaker than usual unless
Eulace Peacock and Ben Johnson,

Stoller of Michigan changes his mind

Washington, which is one of those
hilltop affairs.
Before DR.. James T. McClenahan
greens chairman, surrounded that
green with traps. the number of balls
which ran over the green on both sizes
was astonishing 1t slowed up play,
it funled tempers tothe breaking point
and generally was unsatisfactory.
Now those bunkers catch a ball off
the line, play is speeded up and the
hole, while retaining its toughness,
isn't the back-breaker it used to be.
That's what Tlllinghast means by the
friendly" trap. And he's on the right
track.

from the angle of the par shooter,

is the one located below a green on

into some abyss or run down steep

HOUSEHOLD
QUESTIONS

Ripening Bananas.-Green ba-
nanas can be ripened by placing
them in a paper bag and keeping
them in dark closet for a day or
two.
Improving Vegetables.-Sugar,
added in the proportion of fourth
of teaspoon to two cups of vege-
tables, will improve the flavor of
cooked corn, beets, peas and lima
beans.
Cleaning Brassware.-Brass or
naments should be put into hot
soapy water to which soda has
been added and scrubbed with a
soft brush to remove any polish
that may have stuck in previous
cleanings. Finish off by rinsing
with clean hot water and dry with
a soft cloth.
That Breakfast Omelet.-That
omelet will not fall If pinch OF
powdered sugar and a pinch Of
cornstarch are added to the
omelet mixture.
Concerning Mirrors. - Never
hang a mirror where it faces a
glare of light. The back of the
mirror should be protected so that
no light or water could possibly
enter.
Manipulating Velvet.-The usual
method of pressing seams, espe-
cially in velvet, is to get a second
person to hold one end of the mate
rial while you hold the other.
Flatten out the two sides of the
seam, then pass the iron along on
the wrong side.
