given another push forward in 1913

back with bang in the 192Os. Bob

Speaking of Sports
Colts Golden
Jubilee Being
Marked in u. S.
By GEORGE A. BARCLAY

The next time you dub drive or
slice one into the rough, blame it on
two fellows in Y0nkers, N. Y.
They're responsible, in a way, for
if they hadn't started playing golf
back in 1888 and organized the first
club in the United States, you prob
ably wouldn't be worrying about par.
All of which means that golf in
America is celebrating its fiftieth
anniversary this year.
1t started in John Reid's COW pas
ture. Reid's friend, Robert Lock
hart, a Scot who had learned the
game in his home land had brought
some clubs and balls with him to
Coulee City dispatch. [volume] (Coulee City, Wash.) 19??-19??, 1938-05-12

America in 1887. When Christmas
came, he gave them to Reid. He
outlined the rules and Reid grew
enthusiastic. On the first fine day
of 1883, they took the clubs and
balls to Reid's COW pasture, laid
out three holes, swung the new clubs
and dug the first divots in American
history.
Reid's neighbors grew curious,
then interested. His pasture proved
too small, so they moved to 30
acre field owned by the local butch
er. They played there all summer.
When the season closed, Reid and
five of his new golfing crOnies met
and organized club.
Reid was elected president and
John B. Upham, secretary-treas-
urer. The others-Harry o. Tai
madge, Kingman NJ Putnam and
Harry Holbrook-madae up the board
of governors.
New members joined the club.
Then the city of Yonkers decided to
extend its street system into their
course and they found refuge in an
old apple orchard. Soon they were
called the "Old Apple Tree Gang"
Two more moves marked the clubs
progress, but by 1894 it was estab-
lished and golf had found definite
place for itself in American life.
Steady advances have marked
the games history ever since.
Today-50 years after its intro
duction-golf has become part of
our language and golf balls and
clubs are sold in the corner drug
store.
BY 1900 there were 1000 golf clubs
in America and the game was
changing. The rubber-cored ball
succeeded the gutta-percha ball and
gave the average man an opportu-
nifty he had been praying for-the
chance to drive with the best of
them.

u. S. Opens Farm to Treat
1000 Narcotic Addicts

. FORT WORTH. TEXAS.-A new
$4,000, 900 United States public
health service hospital devoted to
non-dangerous narcotic addicts has
been placed in operation with $50
patients. The narcotic farm, a few
miles southwest of Fort Worth, has
no walls, and the directors intend to
give fullest freedom to patients.
1T is the governments policy to
treat addicts as patients instead of
criminals" said DR.. w. S. Ossen-
fort, who is in charge. "Our prob
lem is making healthy personality
out of warped and unstable per-
sonality."
Seventy-fve per cent of the pa
tients will be consigned by federal
courts. They will be narcotic ad-
diets who are believed to be HARM
less. The other Is per cent will be
voluntary patients.
The farm will accommodate 1000
patients. Work is planned on
81 800, 900 worth of new buildings.
The farm will have its own work
shops and facilities for agriculture.
Patients will be kept in dormitories,
and the only restraint will be a
wire fence about the premises. Doc
tors said they anticipated no trouble
from patients leaving the farm with
out permission.

Artificial Pump Devised
To Save Heart Victims

PHILADELPHIA. - An artificial
heart and lungs which may save the
lives of victims of pulmonary en-
bolism has been designed by DR..
John H. Gibbon. of the University
of Pennsylvania Harrison depart
ment of surgical research.
Pulmonary embolism, which ac-
counts for per cent of deaths fol-
lowing surgical operations, comes
when a blood clot- clogs the artery
from the heart to the lungs, and
usually results in death within Is
minutes.
Doctor Gibbons chromium-p plated
steel heart and lungs is designed to
perform the functions of the living
heart and lungs while surgeon re-
moves the clot.
No attempt has been made yet to
use the apparatus on human beings,
but Doctor Gibbon told the Medical
Society of Pennsylvania at its re-
cent Scranton convention that the
blood of Is cats had been diverted
through the artificial organs for Pc
RODS up to Is minutes without loss
of life.
The apparatus can be attached to
a cats blood stream in 10 minutes.
FIVE minutes short of the time In
which pulmonary embolism usually
is fatal.

Men Get Jump on
! Wives in Economy
Act Sooner as Conditions
Turn Downward.

MINNEAPOLIS.-Husbands start
eeonomizing much sooner than their
wIves when economic conditions
turn downward; a sliding of in
sales In mems wear departments
was the first indication many de-
partment stores had that all was
not well In the summer Of 1887.
Men are still buying less for them
selves than this time a year ago,
though the spread is narrower than
IN the first six months; several 9TH
er lines of prosperity goods" have
also climbed closer to 1887 sales
volumes, according to a third-quar-
Ter study of luxury and semi-luxury
sales at 236 department stores,
made by Northwestern National
Life Insurance company.
Pianos, whose phenomenal four
year. comeback was checked dur
ing the winter of 1878, again show
an actual increase in sales for the
third quarter of 1888, running ga
per cent above the corresponding
period of 1887, in the department
stores studied.
Fashion can successfully resist
depression, the survey states, point
ing to the fact that department store
sales of jewelry registered only
slight declines during the 1878 re-
ceSSion, In the third quarter were
within 3.3 per cent of the CORE
spending period of 1887, and are now
running practically even with last
year. Style dictates which made
Jewelry an essential accessory of
women's dress have been mainly re-
sponsible for the maintenance of
public buying of such items, the
study states.
Home furniture and electric
household appliances both improved
their showing in the third quarter.
Furs, sporting goods and luggage
maintained or increased the mar
gins by which they are trailing their
1887 sales volumes, the report
shows.
Inventories of eight out of the
nine lines covered by the study have
been reduced, and smaller stocks
remain on hand than last autumn.
The sole exception is pianos; in
creased public interest and new de-
signs have resulted in modest in
crease in stores piano stocks, the
study shows.
