FORT WORTH. Tex, June 4.
dUP)-A call went out today for
volunteers to form a searching par
ty for some unfortunate golfers lost
in the wastes of Death Valley.
Death Valley" is the cheerful
name given to hole No. 5 on the
Colonial club course where the
National open golf championship p
will start tomorrow. All week sur
Yivors. wet and wealy, have been
struggling out of Death Valley
bearing horrible tales Of the fate
that awaits any man who ventures
there armed only with driver, put
ter and irons.
Your agent has made trip thru
Death valley, and, truly, 1T Is
enough to turn your hair white
overnight. Hole No. 5 combines the
worst features of the Johnston
flood, the forest prlmeval and the
African trail that Stanley followed
to find Livingston. I have seen
several tough golf holes, but they
look like pitch and putt affairs
compared to this stretch of 469
yards. The only fair thing to do IS
TO station Red Cross units along
the fairway equipped with smelling
salts. StretcherS and life RATS TO
rescue players who hurl themselves
into the Trinity river in despair.
The man who licks this hole prob
ably will win the tournament. Each
contestant who goes the full 72
holes has to face it four times, and
any lucky guy who gets away with
only lG shots FOR the tournament
on No. 5 ought to breeze in. 1t Is
ridiculously easy to take an eight
or nine on it.
No. 5 has every hazard known to
golf, except sand, and some new
hazards. including man-eating CHG
gers that roam the rough ready to
gobble up any golfer who strays
too far from the safari.
1t is 469 yards ions, par with
slight dog-leg to the right. The
fairWay is only about 35 yards in
spots. and is hard to hit from the
tee as a mosquito in dark bed
room. New grass is growing on the
fairway and there are bare patches
to give plenty of dirty lies for sec
ond shots. Beyond the fairWay there
is stretch of rough on each side
made out of something called John
son grass. Each blade of it is little
wise that clamps around golf balls.
Trees lie beyond the rough, ready
to send slices and hooks bouncing
in crazy directions. Along the right
side of the fairWay runs the Trim
ity river and on the left side is
a swampy piece of land that will
gobble any ball hit into it.

Tribute TO Lou
Gehrig Today

NEW YORK, June i. CUP)-The
newspaper said: The body of Lou
Gehrig. baseball's iron horse, will
lie in state at Christ church, River
dale, from to 10 pm"
You rode the subway to 242nd
street, and took a ous from there.
The last rays of the sun were fall
ing on the vine-claG little Protes-
rant Episcopal church Just off the
busy Henry Hudson Parkway.
You moved abng a flagstone
walk between lines OF policemen to
the steps of the church.
A red-haired boy IN a dirty sweat
shirt, a baseball cap in his hands,
was just ahead of you.
Behind you there was a blind
man, touching the arm OF younger
man for guidance. The sun was re-
flected by his white cane.
A policeman said III a low voice:
single file, please
You moved into the center aisle
and down it toward the altar, bank
ed with flowers, before which lay the
body of Lou Gehrig.
The line slowed, and you looked
ahead and saw that a woman had
paused before the ca5ket. She was
weeping.
Soon you were looking down at
the calm face Of one of baseball's
immortals.
He lay in a plain dark casket,
blanket of roses covering its lower
half.
In moment you were past,
on to the side door of the
church. Behind you, you could hear
the blind man whisper:
Goodbye, Lou"

Where There's q will

The Faculty club of New York uni
versity recently moved into new
quarters on Washington square,
near the N. Y. U. night school for
adults. Too near, it turned out: the
clubs application for a liquor IL
cense was denied by the state liquor
authority. on the ground that the
premises were illegally close to an
educational institution. Their brains
whetted by thirst, the faculty studied
the situation and found, with the
aid Of adroit counsel, that the law
applied only to q building used ex-
clusively for educational purposes
and that second tenant would take
the curse of the premises. It was
no trouble at all to persuade an in
surance man to take offices, on at
tactive terms, in the night school
building. The bar is open for bust
ness.

Color Due to Reflection;
ABSORPTION of LIGHT Raw,


Objects in nature take on their
colors by absorbing some rays Of
light and rejecting other rays.
Cherries are red because the yell
low and blue rays in the sunlight
are absorbed and only the red rays
are reflected to the human eye, &C.
cording to the Better Vision in
stitute.
The eye responds to three regions
Of light waves in the spectrum be-
cause, 1t is believed, there are three
color mechanisms in the retina. All
colors result from combinations Of
rays in the three fields.
The ability of colored substances
to absorb part Of the spectrum and
the fact that all color combinations
seen by the human eye are COM
posed Of light rays from the three
fields, have been utilized in color
photography. When an object is
photographed through a screen on
which lines are ruled with three
dyes carefully selected for their col
or, the dyes absorb and filter out the
light waves outside their color fields.
A red line, for example, absorbs
all rays except red. permitting the
red rays to fall upon the emulsion
on the negative. The other dyes
similarly act as color filters. The
film is projected through a screen
similar to that used in making the
negative and the colors in the origi-
nal scene are reproduced.
