Two Washington lads are out at
Des Moines, Iowa, today firing at
par and flock of good golfers in an
effort to lift the national intercolle-
giate crown from the ruddy thatch
Of Georgetown's Johnny Burke. Nor
are Billy Shea and Bobby Brownell
listed among the palookas of the
record crowd of more than 200 rah-
rah lads who played in the first
medal round today. Indeed, Shea,
who didn't know until two days ago
that he was going to the tourna-
ment, dropped the collective dope
sters for loss as he busted par
for the Wakonda course yesterday
by three strokes with a So.
Either Of the local lads-Shea of
Georgetown, or Brownell of Duke
can win the tournament. Both Of
them are good enough.
Washington Tournament Hot.
Over at the Washington Golf and
Country Club a flock of the men,
bers are hot in the chase for the
Tom Moore Cup in a 72-hole tour
ney that now enters its third week.
Leading the pack is A. T. Hester,
with net scores of 64, 65 and "a, with
handicap of II strokes. K. P.
Haynes is in second place at the
54-hole mark with 201, coming from
net rounds of SO, Ct and IS. He
plays with II handicap.
R. E. Hotze came to the 10th hole,
the 18th of round which started
at the 18th tee, needing 3, 3, 4
to win a flock of medal bets. He
had thrown away some shots earlier
and was kicking himself around.
From a poor tee shot at the 10th,
he holed mashie shot for an eagle
deuce, finished 3, 4 and won all bets.
The match play against par tour
ney at Washington went to DR.. N. P,
Campbell, who finished 7 up on par.
His comeback rudely interrupted
by newcomer to golf in this sector,
Roger Peacock of Indian Spring,
who dropped the Maryland State
amateur title to Bill Eager of the
Baltimore Country Club at Rolling
Road yesterday, will level his big
guns on the national amateur crown
and the District championship, both
scheduled for September.
Big Gallery Clasps.
Eager whipped Peacock. up. in a
match that had big gallery gasp
ing as Roger put on a last-ditch
stand to square on the 17th, only
to lose the 18th when Eager came
out Of the rough and holed a g.
footer for a winning 4. Previously
Roger had holed a chip shot to halve
the 18th in deuces, had won the 10th
with par 4. and had squared the
contest by holing big putt on the

consecutive matches to win his four

won the U. S. amateur title in 1909
and again around 1915.
The first crack collegian I recall
now was the late Chandler Egan of
Harvard who won the amateur cham

U. S. Leads in High
Rate of Marriage
Facts Are Brought Out in
International Surrey.

SAN FRANCISCO.-The United
States is the most marrying" ma
ton in the world, according to an
international survey just completed
here.
Without legislative promotion,
premiums, subsidies and other
means employed by some European
countries to encourage marriage
and raise birth rates, the marriage
rate in the United States for num-
Der Of years has been little in ex-
cess of 10 per 1000 of population, the
survey shows.
In the meantime, Germany's mar
riage rate has shrunk from Ill per
1000 of population in 1884 to 81 in
1887. The Austrian rate is 6.5 per
1000 and the Czecho-Slovakian rate,
before the country's dismember-
ment, was 8.3.
In Italy, where a bachelors tax is
imposed to spur marriage, and baby
bonuses to encourage it, it's former
marriage rate of 81 in 1885 has in
creased to 8.6. Other governmental
measures to increase the birth rate,
however, have not been so success
full. In fact, the birth rate is stead
lily decreasing. From a peak rate
of 1877 in the 1925 period it
dropped to 22.7 in 1887.
In the two great democracies of
Europe, England and France, the
marriage rate in the former is 8.6
per 1000, an increase in recent
years, while that of France shows
a decline to sc per cent. The latter
is regarded to be due largely to un-
favorably economic conditions.
The United States still maintains
a relatively high birth rate, being
179 in 1888, compared to a rate of
22.5 during the 1925 period.
While all other countries show

WHERE THE MONEY GOES

We've heard so much about our
tax and fiscal problem that it may
come as something of shock to be
told that current tax revenue would
far more than pay for all the ex-
Ipenses of the Normal, universally
accepted activities of the Federal de-
partments, and leave plenty of bal
ance to be used for reducing the
debt.
Why, then, is the debt soaring
in spite of the highest taxes in
American history? The answer to
that is simple "emer-
gency'' expenditures, plus the vast
sums of money we are spending in
the name of national defense.
Vivid light on the issue is cast by
United States News breakdown Of
the 1939-40 budget. While Congress
has not yet completed it's budgetary
demands on the Treasury, it is be-
lieved certainty that more than
nine billion dollars will be appro-
priated. 1t is known, within very
small percentage of error, where
this gigantic sum of money will
be spent. Close to 81, 400, 700
will go for national defense, as
against the $500,O00,O00 appropri-
ated to this end seven years ago.
Almost three billions will be spent
for public works, and for relief in
all it's many ramifications-work
relief, direct relief, CCC camps, Ma
tional Youth Administration, etc
Almost a billion dollars will be
spent for paying interest on the
public debt. Some $600,0O0,00O will
go for the aid of veterans of past
wars. And agriculture will be sub
sidized in one way or another to
the tune of $1,5OO,OOO,O00.
This adds up, roughly, to neasly
1891, OO,O0O-and most of it is
going for purposes aside from the
basic business of running the Gov
erment. The other, regular depart
mentse of the Federal machine will
be kept in operation with the ex-
penditure of "paltry" $1,952,0OO,-
OOO-not much more than quarter
of that is needed for activities fall
ing one way or another to the
emergency classification.
