BY WALTER McCALLUM.

Bob Barnett, golf pro at Chevy
Chase, will be smack in the thick
of the verbal fireworks that are due
to explode next week at Chicago.
when Bob and Ralph Beach march
into the meeting hall of the Profess
slonal Golfers Association of Amer
lea as delegates from the Middle
Atlantic P. G. A. Soon after Bob
comes back to Washington he will
move South the lucky guy toward
Miami Beach, where he will take
over his winter job at the Indian
| Creek Club.
Bob probably won't bring it up at
Chicago, but behind the scenes of
pro golf around Washington is a
simmering resentment against the
Baltimore pros for the way they
pass up the tournaments held To-
cally. And the boys again are talk
ing over the possibility of forming
their own association and seeding
from the Middle Atlantic P. G. A.
Barnett put on a pro-senior tour
iieeiiiSiip 4doe WIEN az NllCSy SIIdSt
and invited the Baltimore pros to
play. None of them showed up.
whenever they have tournament
in Baltimore lot of us go over to
play said George Diffenbaugh.
But they don't come to our tour
naments. l don't know whether we
are poison or not, but we don't seem
to get the proper cooperation from
the boys in golf from Baltimore.
Maybe we would do better to let
them run the Middle Atlantic
P. G. A., and form our own district
organization, and hold our own
tournaments George used to be
president of the Middle Atlantic
P. G. A.
Shute Case Storm Center.
OF course out there at Chicago
next week the main center of fight
ing will be around the Denny Shute
case. Denny, you'll recall, was barred
from the P. G. A. tournament this
year because his dues came in a
few days late. A bunch of tourna-
ment players threatened to with
draw from the championship unless
Denny was allowed to play. Denny
played, after President George R.
Jacobus interviewed as peacemaker.
But the momery of the Pomonok
scrap fingers on and will come out in
| the open next week. Don't be sur
prised if the outcome of the whole
thing ends in the formation of a
Tournament Golfers Association such
as Bob Harlow promoted few years
back.
The tournament players are the
front men" of golf. They build up
the big gates and promote the game.
And the stay-at-homes don't like it.
That seems to be the issue behind
it all.
Mrs. Doran Plat is the new chair
man of the Women's Golf Commit
tee at the Manor Country Club. Mrs.
Plat was chosen yesterday to sue

Platt into office 60 the following

"Having determined to explore
a portion of the country drained
by the Yellowstone, for the pur-
pose of discovering gold mines and
securing townsites, and believing
this object could be better accom-
plished by forming ourselves into
a regularly organized company, we
hereby appoint James Stuart cap
tain, agreeing upon our word of
honor to obey all orders given or
issued by him or any subordinate
officer appointed by him. In case
of any member refusing to obey an
order or orders from said captain, he
shall be forcibly expelled from our
camp. 1t is further understood and
agreed, that we all do our equal por-
ton of work, the captain being UNI
pire in all cases, sharing equally the
benefits of said labor both as to the
discovery of gold and securing town
sites"

In three Rocky mountain states, be-

Stuart expedition to the Yellowstone

particularly as to his staunch courage
and bold decisions In emergency. 1t re-

ership throughout Stuart promised I
himself in his diary to later write I
full story of the expedition, but he
never got around to it.
Full Story Never Told
In fact, neither man ever told in all +
its vivid color the full story Of the [
dangers and the hardships into which
the party was led by an ll-tempered
goddess of luck. Both were men of &C
ton and not gifted in the art Of
dramatizing their experiences. OF the
cold facts of various encounters they
left sufficient for one to draw deeply
upon the imagination. At that, the
story, as coldly factual as is the record,
would be rejected today as too fantas-
tical for the widest thriller magazines

April 8, 1868, at the expedi-
ton camp near Bannack. The signers

sembly with approval of its ap-
LEGATION for such designation by
the state board of education. Other
centers approved were Miles City
and Glasgow.
The measure, SB 1885, introduced by
Senator Charles KrOman of Custer

Of another instructor the department
could offer facilities to about 100 stu
dents
Able to Expand
Provisions of the measure stipulate
cational training centers must show
plenty Of possibility for expansion, and
must offer proper facilities for training.
The public school official pointed
out the aeronautics department not
only was equipped to instruct In those
phases, but that in teaching related
trades instruction was offered In ma
chine work, drawing, welding and
similar occupations
It was understood that Glasgow
high school planned to teach carpentry, |
machine work and welding, while the
Custer county institution planned to
offer an auto mechanics and general |
mechanics courses. The latter county
may also offer an agricultural course, |
it was said.
An application for vocational train /
ing center designation at Glendive in
Dawson county was expected to be
presented in the near future.

applications, met as state board of
vocational education

tional training centers will offer in
struction to youth throughout the
state.

Montana is becoming national
guard-conscious-and proves it by
II applications for establishment
of units submitted to headquarters
in Helena. Col. Lyman E. Moore of
the 163rd infantry, Montana ma
tionai guard, said applications
have increased over a period of
several months "indicating a re-
versal in the pendulum of regard
for such training"
He said among the 81 applications
on file were ones from MiSSoula, Miles
City Glendive, Poison, Hamilton,
brentwood, Fort Benton and Big
What can be done toward augment
ing the 81 units already established, he
said, rests upon authority from the
nations war department to actiyate
further facilities In Montana.
He said there was a possibility Of
the establishment of a national guard
unit indicated by recent conferences
Of officials on the coast. Colonel Moore
said there had been an indication
seven air units may be established In
the ninth corps area-which includes
Montana, Idaho, wyoming, Washing
ton, Oregon, Utah and California
and that it was hoped Montana would
be selected for one Of the units.
Applications for units" he said, ''in-
dictate the change In regard for military
training. Communications addressed to
the national guard show a desire on
the part of parents of young men to-
have their sons trained. The old atti-
tude against training which, incident
ally was responsible for comparatively
green timber used In the World war.
Is practically gone.
"The general attitude is a reversal
of the pendulum and tends to point
toward an awareness of the best In
surance for peace-prepar

Dean 'Thos. Nelson,
n. C.. State, Lauded
By Textile Group

Raleigh, Aug. 16.-High praise for
Dean Thomas Nelson and his work
as head of the Textile School at
North Carolina State College was
voiced in New York by leaders in
the textile industry at Textile
Square Club dinner in honor Of Dean
Nelson, according to reports reach
ing here today.
Among those paying tribute to
Dean Nelson, who has been with the
State College Textile School 38 years,
were Dr. c. T. Murchison, president
of the Cotton Textile Institute; c.
Whitney Dali, president of the Ma
tional Rayon Weavers Association;
and W. Ray Bell, president of the
Association of Cotton Textile Mer-
chants Of New York.
In addition to Dean Nelson, spe-
cial guests were parents Of a num-
Der of students in the State College
Textile School and alumni living in
the New York area. Leaders in the
production and marketing Of textile
products compose the Textile Square
Club.
"This gathering was unusually en-
tnuSlaStlc reported Inc DAILY News
Record, official trade paper. "An out
standing national character could not
have stirred more interest than the
presence of Dean Nelson. And he
proved himself equal to the oc-
i casion".
Remarking on the outstanding rec
ord of the State College Textile
School, President Dali said: eve in
the New York market who scramble
for orders are likely to overlook that
much of what makes all of this pos
sible is the time, study and research
in the laboratories. The textile
schools are an integral part of our
, industry. we should show this by
giving opportunities, where these
arise, to the graduates of our textile

year after fighting with G. e. Dean
at the polls, before the State -Elec-
ton Board and through the courts.
Speaking of congressional races,
there is already some speculation
in the air as to the possibility that
North Carolina may gain a twelfth
House seat as a result Of the 1910
Federal census.
But if Congress is anything like
our General Assembly, we wouldn't
get the extra seat before 1850 any
how.
