they were blended by the late

certain definite conditions Of the

although more than thirty-ive
years on the market is still the
leader in its field. The reason
for this is because it not only

about those football togs in the

what's the fun of buying football
toys when you don't play football
Well when the boys and girls
Of the great golf game buy their
toys, they don't have to be an 'im-

And about that peculiar sock
happiness or golfbug which caus-
es the big bugs and the little bugs
and the medium sized bugs to git
up at half past a o'clock in the
morning or to play by the lite Of
the fireflies at even-tide-yass
them bugs don't mind chasing the
little white pellet for 1864 hol-
es-Take Burl Caldwell for ex-
ample, he, they tell me, is out
marathoning Joe Owen and John
Sims this golfyear; and they also
tell me that this constant playing
has cut about 6 strokes from his
average score-Better seeking Mis-
ter Burl-.

DEATH COMPENSATION OF
LABORER SHARED By TWO
WIDOWS

Raleigh, N. c., Jan. % CAMP
The two wives and three children
of a laborer fatally injured here
last Sept. 80 shared in his death
compensations under an agree
ment approved Thursday by the
state industrial commission.
The agreement vas between
Lollie Byrd HALEY, the first wife
and others, and Herbert and Annie
Seligson and the latter's carrier,
the Indemnity Insurance Company
of North America.
By terms of the agreement, Lol-
lie HALEY was awarded a lump
sum of $1,667. One hundred dollars
each was given to three children
born to her and William Haley,
the deceased, and $170 to jamie
Williams Haley, the deceased's
second wife.
The commission found it TO be
a fact that Haley abandoned Lol-
lie and remarked without getting
a divorce, under the assumed name
of William Henry. He was injur-
ed while digging an excavation
and died on Oct. ID.

Ia SOLDIERS OF 369th REGI-
MENT HURT IN FIRE

Oswego, New York CO Four.
teen soldiers of Harlem's 369th
Regiment, which had just arrived
here last Wednesday for its year
Of active service, suffered severe
burns when fire precipitated by q
boiler explosion swept through the
one story wooden building which
served as headquarters for the
Regiment.
Beginning just before 8 o'clock,
the fire quickly covered the mid
die wing of the E-shaped building
causing several thousand rounds of
ammunition to explode and destroy
ing most of the regimental records
The blaze reached to post ex-
change at the northern wing and
did some damage to supplies. Fire
men from the Oswego department
joined in with the soldiers to help
combat the blames, but it wasn't
until 80 minutes after, that the
blaze was completely extinguish-
ed.
The most seriously injured sold
Ter was private Benjamin Free
man who suffered second degree
burns and possibly internal injur-
les. In addition to Private Free
man, four other soldiers were tax
EN- to the post hospital, overcome
by smoke. They we're Sgt. Nevil
Martin, Privates Joseph Thompson
William Green, and Harold Jones.
1t was believed that a new build
Ing would be constructed soon, in
the place of the one damaged by
the fire. Fortunately, the east
wing kept the flames away from
the $685. 900 sixty-five building
cantonment completed at the fort
last week.
