MEMBERS L0ATH
TO YIELD COURSES
Clubs Also Find It Costly to
Repeat Meets Held in
"WhoopIa" Days.
BY W. r. McCALLUM.

4 n ORE and more the larger golf
nv clubs In the Middle Atlantic
W. sector are pulling away from
4 invitation tournaments and
abandoning the old idea that each
club, to hold its place in the game,
should stage big whoopla party
every year. Gradually some of the
clubs which held invitation affairs in
the booming 2os have dropped out Of
the tournament picture until today
around Washington we have only two
nxed affairs played regularly-ando one
OF these comes only once In two years.
The Chevy Chase Club tourney for
the Taft and Sherman Trophies has
run along without interruption since
1910. It is today the Oldest tourney
In this area and it will continue to
be played indefinitely.
But some of the other clubs which
used to hold Journeys regularly don't
feel that way about it. Columbia, In
dian Spring, Washington, Woodmont
and Congressional all staged invita-
ton Journeys every year in the old
hilarious days when the problem was
/, not to find q tournament in which
10 play, but to find time for . tourney
without conflicting with another
event.
The only rival to the Chevy Chase
Journeys today in continuous play is
the invitation affair Of Baltimore
Country Club and this year the Balti-
more tourney probably will step away
from tradition and become an invi-
tation four-ball event instead Of an
individual Tournament

Cause and Effect?

Immediately following the defeat of
the reorganization bill in the House yes
terday the stock market in New York
advanced sharply in the biggest buying
rush in months. Was there any relation
between these two happenings? That
question is perhaps unanswerable. Yet
there would seem to be a bearing upon
the confidence of gain toward stability
OF conditions IN the refusal of the House
of Representatives to follow the Presi-
Gent in his move toward the concentra-
ton IN his own hands of power over the
administrative organization.
The vote in the House of Representa-
tives was quite evidently response to
public protest against extension Of presl-
dental authority in the subdivision of
the executive branch into units of ad-
mlnlstration over which he would have
virtually absolute control. There was no
mlstaklng the influence upon the legis-
lators of the flood of protests that have
recently been pouring upon them from
the people. Whether those protests were
stil lulated or not, they were unmistak-
ably genuine.
The stock market is a sensitive reflex
OF public feeling. 1t reacts quickly and
markedly to the state of the peoples
mind as regards governmental policies,
as we'll as the effect of events both at
home and abroad. This sudden bull
movement in the market may, of course,
have been speculative. Practically all
such movements are speculative That
Is to say, buyers of stock are speculating
upon the probable effect of decisions, as
we'll as actions and events. Those who
buy are expectant of advances, perhaps
only to sell when higher levels are
reached, perhaps to hold for investment
at the higher rates justified by improved
business.
Whatever the cause, yesterdays ad-
vance in security prices, coinciding as it
did with the decision of the House of
Representatives to check the President
IN his plan to reorganize the admins
tratlVe branch of the Government, may
stand as symptom of confidence that
the trend toward absolutism in this
country has been checked. It is, at any
rate, a significant coincidence that the
greatest buying rush in many months
followed Immediately upon the action in
Congress.

gunfire with ease down many thorough
fares of approach.
Long distance firing and airplane
bombings at that time were unknown.
And motor vehicle traffic also was not in
the dreams of men. Unfortunately, the
major was not prophet. He was a
brilliant practical soldier and planner of
his day alone. He was the chief aid to
the planning of beautiful city, but
beyond that he knew no more.
# Ford had lived then and had seen
the future of the great auto industry
and its resultant traffic problems condi-
tions might have been different. At
least our circles and diagonal avenues
might have been eliminated. Our rec
tangular parks could have been here.
Underground garages or parking spaces
might have been made. The city prob
ably would have been safer.
If LEnfant had lived in the present
more beautiful parks and parkways
might have been here. Jefferson and
other memorials might have already
had appropriate settings.
The city might have been safer and
even more beautiful Who knows? But
IL Is interesting just to suppose.

was nailed upon the tree. Nothing has
so deeply stirred both the emotions and
aspirations Of men and prompted them
to sacrtf1ctal service as this lonely figure
on Calvary. Conflicting as have been
the views OF succeeding ages concerning
the meaning OF the cross and its lonely
sufferer, its influence still prevails and
challenges the reverent consideration of
men in every period and in every cline
So-called Christian civilization begins
with the life, ministry and death of
Jesus of Nazareth, and the story of His
incompatible service to humanity Is
wrought into the history, literature, mu-
sic and art OF every generation. In
times OF great distress and confusion,
the story OF the cross is vividly recalled
and its profound significance better un-
derstood. Men and women have antici-
pated, and anticipated gladly, trials and
sufferings and have found satisfaction
and even joy as they have measured
their own pain and grief by the unattain-
able standard of the suffering Christ
There is no recorded fact of history
that bears more intimately upon human
problems or that satisfies more COM
pletely human aspirations than the fact
which this Holy Week recalls At the
end OF his brilliant career the lonely exile
cn Elba, Napoleon, turned away from
his own daring exploits and achieve
ments and saw in them all nothing
worthy of praise as he compared them
with the sacrifice of Calvary. To
marshal he observed that his scepter,
with all that it had symbolized of power
and achievement, would be forgotten,
but that the scepter of Him who was
nailed upon the cross would prevail
With increasing power through succeed
ing ages.
One wonders whether in this troubled
tragic era the meaning and power of
the cross is to soften the tempers of
men and assuage their selfish ambitions,
their bitter and ungenerous judgments.
Inc world needs panacea to ease its
pain and render its judgments more
Just and generous. That panacea is
1ound in the teaching of Him who
counted His life dear unto Himself.

Ford andL'Enfant.

The National Capitals traffic prob
lens are Jointly based on congestion
primarily caused by the results of the
increased use OF motor vehicles and the
street planning of the city by Major
L'Enfant. Probably the beginning of
mass production is due chiefly to Henry
Ford. Their lives we're more than q
century apart.
Recently metorist with somewhat of
philosophical turn of mind raised the
question, What would have happened
If the times of L'Enfant and Ford had
been reversed?"
This is an interesting question. Prob
ably traffic conditions here would have
been vastly improved by the change. OF
course, this cannot be done, but the query
provides food for thought
The French friend of George WASH
1ngton had in mind that the new Amer
lean Capital should be laid out in pre-
paredness for defense war and to be
an Improvement on his beloved city of
Paris. He visualized the circles and
diagonal avenues where at the center
points cannons could be placed to rotate

TRAGEDY OF THE ACES
BY THE RIGHT REV JAMES FREEMAN d, L. D, d. c. L.
BISHOP OF WASHINGTON.

One Of the miracles of time Is the per-
vasive and prevailing influence of Him
who was nailed to the cross 10 centuries
ago. Many and various have been the
interpretations of this tragic incident.
1t has been subjected to microscopic
study and its meaning and significance
debated and discussed in every land
and by every race. Other and appealing
sacrifices made by men and women for
cause have arrested the attention of
their time and won for them a place of
enduring affection. A grateful people
have reared enduring memorials to make
imperishable the deeds of the good and
the great. Measured by every standard
by which men judge sacrificial service,
the death of the Man on the cross oc-
cupies place utterly unique and rever-
emily recognized through the long CEN
turies Of time.
All the events of the period called
Holy Week" are carefully restudied
year by year, and the names of those who
played conspicuous parts in the great
drama that eliminated in the crucihxion
are readily recalled and upon them a
universal jury passes sentence for the
cruel part they played in the great con-
spiracy However frequently the in
cidents of this memorable week are re-
hearsed, their appeal is not lessened by
the passing of the years. Even a skep-
tical analyst of history in monumental
work maintains that the uplifted Son
OF God upon the cross is fact of his
tory that colors the story of 10 centu-
ries of world development.
The cross, a symbol of human passion
and hate, has been transformed into
symbol of supreme love and sacrificial
devotion. The words spoken from the
cross by the dying Master have been re-
peated more frequently than any like
utterances that have fallen from the lips
OF men the world over. Their poignant
and tender significance have not only
appealed TO vast multitudes of men and
women and provoked their reverent de-
votion, but they have laid hold of in
dividual hearts and minds and prompted
emulation of the virtues of Him who

analysis His inclination is to do some
thing. Henry Wallace is telling visitors
that Mr.. Roosevelt soon will be forced to
act. The Presidents son James who had
been disciple of the Garner. Jones and
Morgenthau school, is said now to be a
convert of the other side.
But the country still is reported to be
sold on the Garner, Jones, Morgenthau
thesis. It has become convinced that
business men have been hurt and abused
and aren't going to play ball until MIR.
Roosevelt quits hurting them and abusing
them. Congress reflects this viewpoint
and is more and more determined to
stop the President just to show business
that it can forget about Washington and
go ahead.
President Roosevelt is described as be-
ing torn between a desire to let Congress
and the country try out its theory, in the
expectation that later they will come
around asking once again for leadership,
and a determination not to let def1ation
60 farther If Government action can pre-
vent It,
Until the President makes up his mind
concerning course and announces his
decision, the country will drift. How
long this drift will continue only Mr..
Roosevelt knows.

Much Like the Present.


My Uncle Jim dislikes the ways
OF all these young folks nowadays.
He says, with slow and stately pride,
Their manners are undignified.'
A friend who knew him in his youth
Has told us some amazing truth.
He showed some old daguerreotypes.
My uncle's vest and funny stripes.
His neckties would have made you stare
So would his whiskers and his hair.
The current slang he talked with glee
And sang fool songs all of the key.
They say he even went so far
AS practicing on guitar.
And so, when now he strikes a pose
And signs, These times are not like
those!"
The youngsters grin because, at last,
They know about his awful past!

A Pacific Fishing Trim.

Announcement that the President is
contemplating long ocean trip this
summer that will take him, on board
cruiser. through the Panama Canal and
out into the Pacific, perhaps as far as
the Galapagos Islands, has a certain
timely interest 1t is indicated that this
unusually protracted absence from this
country will coincide with the season of
the primary elections in the States,
though 1t would end in time to permit
him to make speaking trip or two be-
fore the elections, perhaps while a few
OF the primaries are being held in those
States that maintain a more concen-
trated political schedule.
There are certain advantages in such
program, just at this particular time,
when in many of the States nominations
are to be made for congressional seats.
in both House and Senate. Recent hap-
penings in Congress, beginning with the
defeat of the court packing bill and end
ing, for the present, with the defeat of
the reorganization bill, have created
sharp differences between the Executive
and some of the personnel of Congress.
While it is not directly suggested that
reprisals would follow such failures of
fealty, there have been indications of a
suspicion that the Executive influence
might be exercised in the naming of the
candidates OF his own party for congress
sional places. An extended ocean voyage,
as far away as the Pacific islands of the
great tortoises. would perhaps furnish
an alibi.

Exposure by Pennies.

A number of students at Rensselaer,
Polytechnic Institute in Troy, New York,
have hit upon unique scheme to Gre
ate taX-consciousness in the citAenry and
are carrying it along with amusing and
undenlable success. This latest bit of
collegiate ingenuity, devised as a pro-
test against the so-called hidden taxes, "
calls for the payment of one quarter of
the purchase price of any article in sin
gle, individual copper pennies.
1t is the contention of these boys, who
call themselves the Tax Centinels, that
hidden taxes form twenty-five per cent
of the cost of articles of merchandise
and they have devised this plan to fer
ret out the tax from its place of conceal
ment in the purchase price.
The psychology of this process, it is
explained, is that the merchants have to
count the pennies, which takes time.
This irks them. Other purchasers in
the store have to wait. This distresses
them. The banks have run on pen
nies. This annoys them. Everybody
sees in actual cash how much of the
cost of the article actually goes into
taxes, thus increasing the cost of living,
and that makes everybody mad. This,
say proponents of the plan, is tax-con-
sciousness.
AS popular as its predecessor, "The
Veterans of Future Wars" movement
two years ago in protest of the bonus,
this college brain child" is spreading to
other institutions of the country with
marked rapidity.

there is no need for q chapter in the

But then divergence occurs. Eccles
and Wallace think that some way must
be found for Government and business.
particularly the five or six major indus
tries, to determine what causes the basic
Embellishments that result in depres-
sions and then to agree on policies to be
accepted by these industries that can
help to remove those causes.
Hopkins, on the advice of his economic
consultant, Leon Henderson, objects to
any kind of planning that might re-
semble modified N. R. A. His view,
which has appealed to Mr.. Roosevelt, is
that Government in some way should
force revival of competition in those
industries where it now is dormant,
thereby recreating the balance wheel of
the old economic system The Presidents
interest in antitrust legislation stems
from this source.
There is agreement in the Eccles, WAL
lace, Hopkins school that the heart of the
country's difficulty lies in the pricing pol
lc1es OF industry, with John L. Lewis an
important factor in setting those policies.
The difficulty is mechanical, involving
the exchange of dollars for goods. When
part of the population finds that it has
fewer dollars to use in buying goods,
then either the price of goods must come
down, so that the fewer dollars will 90
as far as they once went, or a smaller
volume of goods will be sold. Prices of
automobiles and houses and furniture
and other goods have not come down to
meet the decline in wages and salaries,
with the result that trade has slowed
and production has gone into a tailspin.
Now the problem is to push down
prices or to push up income or purchas-
ing power. ~
