Jurisdiction Over Lakes
Shared bv u. s.. Canad


The boundary between the United
States and Canada runs through the
center of the four border lakes and
their connecting channels Gake
Michigan, of course, being entirely
within the United States); and ju-
risdiction over the lakes is shared
by the two countries, observes a
writer in the Cleveland Plain Deal
er.
Both countries have an interest
in maintaining the natural level
of the lakes in order to keep the
water power at Sault Ste. Marie
and at Niagara undiminished, and
in order that the depth of harbors
and the channels connecting the
lakes may not be lessened.
There is a permanent Information
al Waterways commission, consist
ing Of three Americans and three
Canadians, that has control Of the
waters of the lakes for power and
other purposes.
Within the territory of the United
States, shipping and navigation are
subject to the same laws and regu-
lations as prevail on the other nat
ural waterways of the United States.
On the Canadian side shipping OBJ
serves the Canadian laws. Each
country provides the necessary aids
to navigation at its own ports.

introduced the Dahlia

The dahlia was known hundreds
Of years ago but a Swedish botanist
by the name of Dahl was the first
man to really introduce it. The
birthplace Of the dahlia originally
was Mexico. Empress Josephine
of France planted one Of the tubers
in her garden and would not permit
it to be taken from there. How
ever, a Polish prince who visited
Josephine bribed the royal garden
er to steal some Of the tubers. The
empress upon discovering the theft
refused to cultivate them from that
tune on.

The "DOImen BuIIders''

From 5000 to 5000 years ago
there lived a race of people now
often called ''Dolmen Builders. Re-
mains of their work have been found
in Great Britain. France, Spain,
Italy, Germany. Malta, Sardinia,
northern Africa, and Asia. In south
ern England, near Salisbury, is
Stonehenge. The Dolmen Builders
appear to have been worshipers of
the sun. Some of them were buried
just outside the circle, or "crom-
lech," of Stonehenge. The Dolmen
Builders lived in the late Stone age
and in the Bronze age.

THE GOSSIP MILL
Reprinted by Request

The Gossip Mill in my home town
Keeps grinding, grinding all the
time,
It's grasping sector reaches out
For every trace of social CRIME.
Its droning wheels turn resonantly
slow,
And through its loose-mouthed
channels flow:
"The Bailey's fed their dog today!
Another babe is on the way!
Some new-weds moved across the
street,
The groom has trouble with his
feet!
l saw the pastor go next door,
Her husbands on a business chore!
The great O'Malley's lost their
home,
l wonder where they'll chance to
roam?
The widows stepping out of late,
She's much too old to have a date.
Old Uncle Dan is just a mute,
His wife's a rowing prostitute!"
And on-and on, it's never still.
This old, prophetic Gossip Mill.

We may not have Decoration Day

little furry friend is once more
nervously pacing his underground

afraid he will have a pretty cold
reception if the old thermometer
doesn't get out of its present sub
zero condition. His little toes will
freeze before he even sees his shad-
ow. But who cares whether he
sees it or not. With snow on the
ground no one can be especially in
terested in his representations of
spring.

my boy friend? He hasn't been
seen here of late.
Ans: Nothing at all wrong with
him he decided to make him
self SCARCE around your neigh
bOrhOOd when you began taking
him so seriously. Don't let your
boy friends know how much you
care for them they fear that
you might rope" them in.
E. M. A.: Will win this ten
thousand dollars / am trying for
Also tell me about this man have
met, will he mean anything to me
and should 1 continue to slip
around and see him?
Ans: Disappointment is ahead
for you regarding the contest that
you have entered. I don't believe
you will win first prize. The man
that you have reference to has a
wife also lives with another
girl and you are using poor judg-
ment in slipping around to get ia
see him. He has nothing whatever
to offer you but endless heart
aches.
B. A.: Will my husband get
work soon? We have children and,
of course, expenses, and l am won
dering what we can do to make
ends meet right now?
Ans: Under the circumstances
-. you should make an effort to
get work yourself and get some
person to come in and stay with
the children. In a month or six
weeks your husband will be fOrtu-
nate to find something. so that you
can take charge of your home
again. N-
M. t.: Am I wasting my time
with this boy friend of mine? Tell
me what to do, please, for / can't
seem to make this mind of mine
work.
Ans: Yes do drop him fiat.
You are much too young and at
tractive to sit around day in and
day out waiting for another man
out of the city to make up his mind
to claim you for his wife. Get out
and make some nice friends right
there in your own home town.
P. W.: Is this job that my uncle
wrote me about what it is cracked
up to be? ...
Ans: Not altogether al.
though you know perfectly vel
that your uncle has stretched
everything he told since he was {
yOungster, so you believe your par
of the story and investigate mat
tiers yourself. 1t would prove 8
good line for you to get into
though :. for there is a future.
W. J. c.: Will ever get this
girl back again?
Ans: You've lost her for good.
You may as well begin looking
around for someone else for she
has dropped you permanently.
J. N. L.: What is ailing me and
also causing me to lose weight?
Ans: PROBLEMS OF THE
HEART / FEAR although it is
most unwise to take a chance i.
visit some good reliable doctor just
as soon as you can and have him
check up on your physical cOndi-
ton.
G. l.: would like to know
what became of my brother and
when will / hear from him again?
Ans: Your brother, J. l., is now
in the SOUTHEAST and it is
likely that you will hear from him
within the next eighteen months.
M. H.: Is there someone or
something that keeps my sister and
me down all the time? We want a
nice little place to live and nothing
we do seems to work out all right =?
Have we any friends?
Ans: You two have had tough
breaks for the past few years, but
don't let it get you down take
your hard knocks with a smile and
with more determination than ever
to get ahead. Life isn't too easy
for anyone and it is only those
people that really get out and hus-
tie and work hard that show prog
ress. You and your sister should

Cotton Would Be Sap
To Visit U. s., Say
Golfers in Know
Declare Yankee Pros
Are Too Strong for
Houehty Britisher
By WALTER McCALLUM.

They're starting that old yarn
about Henry Cotton, the kingf1sh
Of British golf, planning to come
to America again during the COM
ing winter for a series of jousts
against Sammy Snead, the current
pro sensation. It sounds good as
ballyhoo, but take 1t from some Of
the boys in the know, who say
that Henry would be sap to come
to this country, take a series Of lick
ings, and go back to England with
a badly bent reputation.
Would Steer Him From Snead.
The talk is that Henry may be
matched with Snead on a tour of
the big towns and the provinces.
But that won't happen, either.
Il don't know just what is going
to be done," said Tommy McNamara,
one of Americas veteran pros, who
happens to work for the same out
fit that employs Snead. But I'll
bet this-that If Henry does come
to this country and starts talk
ing exhibition matches, they won't
match him with Sammy. Not right
away, at least.
I'VE have guy In this land who
happens to be our national cham
point. Ralph Guldahl is his name,
and he has won 1t twice in a row.
Don't you think if Cotton is matched
with any one it should be our ma
tional champion?" All of which
sounds reasonable, because Guldahl
also works for the same outfit, and
these golf manufacturers watch all
the angles.
But talking with bunch of pros
you get the idea that the naughty
Britisher, who out-Hagens the great
Walter himself in his social graces
and his flrst-night appearances in
London, would be more or less a
sap to tilt lances in this country
with the top American pros. Henry
was here in 1884, playing the winter
circuit.
Didn't Make Good Here.
He won hardly enough money to
pay his caddies, and he certainly
didn't demonstrate his ability to lick
the best of the boys who are winning
nowadays in this country. And,
furthermore, since that time gents
like Snead and Guldahl have come
along. mo" the pros say, Henry
wouldn't be very smart to come to
America. Certainly not just now,
when Snead and Guldahl are at
tops. He'd be more than apt to
take nothing more than a lot of
lickings, which wouldn't help him
very much at home. Frankly, he
isn't good enough, or he hasn't DEM
onstrated enough in his golf here,
to 60 along with the best of our
boys" So you can discount the
Cotton ballyhoo. Henry is no sap.

Heurich's Warning

A shake-up in the Washington
Heurichs pro basket ball team was
threatened today by sponsor Chris
Heurich, r., now on the warpath
following failure Of several Of his
players to measure up to American
League standards during practice.
While pointing toward their
league opening game Saturday
night at Philadelphia several mem
bers Of the squad have not rounded
into the shape expected and must
deliver against the Sphas or receive
their unconditional release, Heurich
said this morning. They would be
replaced from the league reserve
and unsigned players roster.
Last Warning Sounded.
Il have made good my promise to
give local talent every chance to
make good, and failing this the
players currently under contract
must take the consequences. The
American League has promised 100
per cent cooperation in acquiring
oU1odpiC llldOCl ldl IL llOlllC GdlCllG 4dlAo
to deliver" he said.
A last warning to players was is
sued last night by Bob Mcdonald,
general manager, who told them
that they must grasp this oppor-
tunity to get into big-time basket
ball or Washington would turn
elsewhere for its material.
Schoenfeld to Remain.
Meanwhile Chris Heurich spiked
all rumors that Mickey Schoenfeld
would be sold or traded to any other
league club, particularly the Sphas,
who have been after him for two
years. The sharpshooting forward
definitely is member of the Heu-
richs, and while he admits he prob
ably could make more money with

Lawson Little and Henry Picard

paigners, men who have seen them
bloom and fade away.
"That Haefner boy looks to
be the goods" says Lawson.
"He hits that ball very long
way and he hits 1t the same
way all the time. That's what
we all want to do.
It may be a coincidence, too, for
out of Carolina last year came Henry
C. Poe, to tie for the Mid-South
championship. Maybe Carolina will
become the birthplace of the new
crop Of pro links stars.
Honor Marion Brown.
Out at Manor on December they
are planning a big blowout to honor
Marion Brown, the tall youngster
who zoomed to the crest of local
women's golf this year with a pace
that swept all opposition before her.
1t will be a dinner dance in
honor of the blond from Manor
and Indian Spring who holds
the District and Middle At

which is far too small a number.

Not in many years, since Dorothy
White dominated local golf and
Betty Meckley was at her best, has
a feminine star so completely topped
the women golfers of the town as
Marion Brown has done this year.
She is the second local player to win
both these tournaments in a single
year. Mrs. Meckley did 1t back in
1885.

not have been fooled on a dry day,
with sun shining. 1t was a grand
exhibition of scientific defense and
it was ironical that the long run
that set up the touchdown came
from simple reverse operation.
