By WALTER McCALLUM.

Feminine golfers around WASH
ington will not become skillful
enough to hold their own in fast
links company until they abandon
the accepted practice Of playing
tournaments from women's tees.
The first or championship flight
in all the big women's tournaments
around Washington should be re-
quired to play from the regular
mems tees.
These are the conclusions of Mrs.
Myron Davy, one Of Washington's
top feminine hnkswomen and a
competitor in several national cham
pionships. Mrs. Davy believes that
only by setting for themselves
higher standards of golf, which
means longer hitting and better hit
ting, can the women of Washington
reach the degree of scoring skill
necessary to go places in the ma
tional championship.
Our trouble here in Washington
is that we do not discipline our
selves land I mean the women in
the better scoring brackets by play
ing from tees that mean long Shots

and the defense of the college crown.
The reason is the qualifying tests
for the Georgetown linksnen, just
concluded at the Capital club,
which Tony claims has brought
out the finest group of young golfers
any college coach in this territory
ever has had. There's reason for
Tonys optimism, for six candidates
for the Hoya team all shot better
than l60 for two rounds at the
Capital club. and one of them
Jack Donohue-the sophomore from
Sioux City, who was runnerup for
the Washington amateur title this
year, scored lat.

essayed their qualifying tests.
You can see the reason for Tony's
optimism. He thought he was going
to have only the shreds left from

dump into his lap a flock of fine
scorers. Yep, I think we'll do all
right" he grinned.

pass to the left. This unquestion-
ably adds factor of safety to the
use of the emblem.
One of the other reasons why
these emblems are useful is be-
cause a car parked among many
others, say in a parking lot, is
easily distinguishable if an emblem
is attached to the car. There is no
delay, because the bright spot Of
color Identifies the car Immediate
ly, and on closer examination
further proof of ownership is Of
fered when the initials become
visible.
These clever little emblems arc

itials-for only five cents each at
any Sunoco Station. All that is
necessary is for the motorist to
drive into the nearest Sunoco serv-
ice station and tell the dealer the
initials he desires on the emblem.
The dealer will then make up an
emblem with the requested initials
and mount it neatly on your license
plate in practically no time at all.
Many motorists have liked the en-
blem so well that instead of buying
just one emblem they buy two or
more, one for the front license
plate and one for the rear plate.
Then too, while they are unusually
durable, some motorists are look
ing into the future and arc buying
larger numbers of the emblems to
be used in a year or two after the
present ones may have become less
attractive than brand new ones.
Naturally the sale of the emblems
will probably not be continued in

GASOLINE CHANGES
WITH THE SEASONS

In order that Nu-Blue Sunoco's
performance will always be COM
pletely satisfactory, slight changes
are made in its specifications each
season of the year.
For weather has a great effect
on the operation of a gasoline
motor and a fuel which performs
satisfactorily in summer probably
will not be found a good performer
in winter.
To meet these changing condi-
tons the Sun Oil Company has
made a careful study of the wealth;

Takes q Partner
Grove began operations by forming
q partnership with one Jim Callahan,
a man without criminal celebrity, In
fact, q veteran Union Pacific conduct
or, This man was to assist with the less
hazardous parts Of the adventure. The
rich man to be mulcted had not been
selected, but Edward Cudahy was In
Groves mind as q prospect.
The choice finally fell on this man
for several reasons. He was rich enough
to be q profitable mark. His son,
Eddie, was about II years old and not
an infant or child of tender years No
harm could come to a boy Of that age
through q little hard living and alb
sence from home. But the deciding
factor was the character OF Edward
Cttdahy. Grove knew him to be a
resolute and self-willed man and a
fond father. He understood that a
man Of Cudahy's power In the COM
munity could and would force the po-
lice to stand aside until he could re-
cover his son, whatever the ransom.
He was certain Cudahy would get his
SON home first and then pursue the
abductors, and he felt that no amount
OF police advice and intimidation
would move him 70 risk his boys safe
ty for the sake Of saving the ransom
or facilitating the work Of the police.
Thus Grove felt he had covered the
most difficult part OF a kidnapping

when four young rustics, inflammed
with the stories Of Jesse James and
his crew, attempted a train holdup.
They had been talking too freely and
word of their plans had got to the
local police. A dummy train, with
armed officers In its coaches, was sent
out on the schedule Of the one these
amateur road agents were planning to
rob. When they stopped it the officers
dealt out the ready justice Of those

had administered as a deterrent, and
not very vigilant. Accordingly they laid
their plans, held up train In the
same region q few weeks later, and
got away with the loot Of the express

For this crime Grove was arrested
In Milwaukee many months later and

City, MO. On the expiration Of his
term he was taken to Denver TO face
a charge of diamond robbery, but was
not convicted.
Grove again made an attempt tc
live straight but perhaps not very
determined one. He was working and
telling himself that he would commit
no more crimes when friend came
to him with q message from 8 famous

wanted to warn him, the friend said
that II he would desist from attacks on

Little Brown Gingerbread Man" and Memories
OF It's Author Still Linger With Montana People

On Christmas eve, 1879, the Great
Falls Leader printed for the first time
what Was later come TO be known n
Montana as one OF the best loved OF
all Yuletide poems-''The Little Brown
Gingerbread Man" It was written by
q man who during his long life IN
the Treasure state did more than any
other Great Falls resident 70 portray
the little Joys and the little tragedies
of our everyday life-the late Edward
H. Cooney then editor Of Great Fails
evening newspaper.
Since that time the Leader has pub
lished this CHEEKY little verse by pop
ular request in nearly every Christmas
edition. In fact, It has been demanded
so often that the poem and the mem
ory of its author have become as
much q part Of the holiday season as
Christmas day itself.
The tragedy connected with the
story Is that q few months after the
poem was written its author passed
away, and today rests beside his wife
and three children IN Highland GENE
terry at Great Falls, but his memory
and his poem are still with US.
With the death Of Mr.. Cooney, the
Montana newspaper fraternity lost
one Of its ablest members and the
people conscientiously and efficiently
during a lifetime spent in the COM
monwealth.

Later Mr.. Cooney went TO Butte
where he became engaged in news
paper work on the old Montana spec
fafor and later as a member of the
Butte staff Of the Anaconda Standard.
IN 1895 he went to Great Falls to
manage the branch office at that time
maintained there by the Anaconda

signed his position to become city
editor of the Great Falls Leader, OF
which he afterwards became editor
and part owner, In which capacities
he continued for many years.

both manager and editor Of the paper
until 1907 when he was appointed
postmaster Of Great Falls by President
