pleasant after the practice rounds.
But in the first round of actual play
the pounding feet of the expert golf
ers and their gallery" had torn the
turf of the greens. The greens be-
came sand, and the United States
Golf Association decided that the
country's great need was better
lawn grass and more of it.
The golfers grass inquiry had
deeply interested sponsor in the late
DR.. Walter S. Harbin, once presi-
dent of the Columbia Country Club,
famous Washington dentist who
cared for Teddy Roosevelt's teeth.
In 1917, DR.. Harbin grew concerned
when we went to war lest the turf
of his clubs green's and other clubs
green's about the country suffer
from wars interference with our
trade with Germany, which sup
piled much of this country's grass
seed. DR.. Harbin began a campaign
for an American. excursion into
grass culture. The sad fate of the
green's in the 1920 open clinched his
argument.
For decades before 1920, botanists
had been doing tricks with plants.
The name of Luther Burbank was
household label for this sort of
wizardry. There was rose for every
sort of climate. and even the least
spectacular plants were being adapt
ed to life under conditions for which
nature had never intended them.
But lawn grasses were neglected.
Nobody experimental with lawn
grass, and today, after remarkable
successes, DR.. Monteith is at loss
to understand the oversight.
Annual Cost.
Since the American people spend
$200,00O,000 year on their lawns,
what DIR. Monteith is doing has
meaning for millions of persons.
What is good for the golf course
green and for the fairway is good
for the front yard. And what is
more to the point for Washington,
what is good for the fairway is good
for the city paris.
The Monteith enterprise has been
so successful that American golf
green's now are the envy of the Brit
ish and the Scotch. There was a
time when the British felt confident
that nowhere in the world could
grass grow so lush and velvety as 1t
does in the British Isles. But In

Reign Of Croker.
OF course the more modern pol
iticians recall Tammany most for
the reign of Richard Croker, and
the spirited song that helped upon
more than one occasion to carry
the Democrats to victory. 1t went
like this:

Big chief sits in his tepee,
Cheering braDes to Uictory.
Tamnlany, Tammany,

Get the Udmpunl, TGmnldny!
incidentally, speaking of the great
Chief Tammany, of which we know
so little, and this to the effect that
he was "a Delaware Indian chief
who never had his equal" We might
also say that his spirit did or die
not hover around Browns Hotel, ano
be right or wrong and never know
the difference. But we do know
that one of the most celebrated In
dians of all time-Pushmataha-dio

dian delegations.
Pushmataha died in Washington
on December %, 1924. He had come
to this city with several other chiefs
to see the President for the pur-

at Doak's Stand in 1920, and known

and upon his death, February 2,
1876, at 7171a Twentieth street NV,
his body was conveyed to Congress
sional Cemetery.
Evidently the Tammany anniver-
sary was an occasion for a convivial
party where there was plenty to
eat and something always on tap
to wash it down with, just as there
would probably be at any other pow

the great Chief Tammany. And
there were set speeches besides, the
