''S0FT" COURSE RECORDS GO ON
 pGk BLACKLIST

SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 16.-The Professional Golfers Association gives indication 1t may do something to protect scoring records set by it's members. Fred Corcoran, P-G-A tournament manager, says the Asso- ciaticn will qualify golf courses as to championship or non-champion- ship qualities.
 Corcoran says the plan was brought up after Byron Nelson fired that burning 259 to win tEe Seattle Open. Nelson's 259 was the lowest 7z-hole figure ever carded in a P-G- A tourney.
 ThiS means, Ii certain courses are labelled easy" by tEe P-G-A, a SCOT ing record made on them would probably not go in the Associations books.

Rich Discovery Of
 Prehistoric Bones
 Made in KeniAs|gy


 LEXINGTON, Ky, Oct. l6 = What was termed "one of the richest" discoveries of prehistoric bones ever uncovered in the United States was hailed today by a group of Lexington archaeologists.
 By using big bulldozer, the group, in a weekend expedition to Blue Lick Springs in Nicholas County, unearthed numerous bones of prehistoric mastodons and of buffalo, elk and deer.
 The prize discovery was a sec tion of an ivory tusk of masto- don. It weighed more than 100 pounds and was three feet long and seven inches in diameter.
 Victor K. Dodge, Lexington, who organized the excavating party, said the removal of many layers of dirt around an old salt well at Blue Lick uncovered a depository which promises to be one of the greatest discoveries of it's type in the United States and that further excavation should be undertaken by scientists.

 Attempting to secure equitable fire insurance rates for all muni- cipalities, although the actual fix ing of these rates is said to be a mystery to almost everyone outside of the person doing the rating" :" Mayor Scully related to the con- ference the following tale.
 MT.

I don't just exactly know them, but I think that the group had as one of their members a certain actuary, a statistician who relates some if his experiences in this little story of which I was ap- prised, and of which I made a copy. This man said:
 T had twelve bottle of wf1iskey in my cellar, and my wife told me to empty the contents of each and every bottle down the sink, or else . So, I said I would, and pro- ceeded with the unpleasant task.
 T withdrew the cork from the first bottle, and poured the con- tents down the sink, with the ex- ception of one glass, which I drank.
 T extracted the cork from the second bottle and did likewise, with the exception of one glass, which I drank.
 T then withdrew the cork of the third bottle and emptied the whis- key down the sink, with the eXcep- tion of one glass, which I drank.
 T pulled the cork from the fourth sink and poured the bottle down the glass, which I drank.
 T pulled the bottle from the cork of the next and drank the sink out of it, and threw the rest down the glass.
 T pulled the sink out of the next glass and poured the cork down the bottle and drank the glass.
 T poured the next cork from my throat and pulled the sink down the bottle.
 Then I corked the sink with the glass, bottled the drink, and drank the pour.

ItoIian Gals Slick Chicks
BY ROBERT MEYER

Rome, June 26-UP)-The Ital- ian women still manage to look beautiful after years of war and hardship, but that's about the only pleasant thing in the outlook for Italy today.
 In a country that has been wrack- ed by war, military occupation, hunger and shortages, it is amaz- ing that the women of Italy still are lovely to look at. But they are. They're tanned and appear healthy. They wear charming clothes that usually are improvised from left over curtains and odd goods.
 Generally, the Italian girls are pretty slick chicks, and dressed up a bit they'd draw glances on New Yorks Fifth Avenue.
 But aside from that, Italy is still in pretty bad shape
 Supposing you're the head of a family of four living in Rome.
 You wake up in the morning, probably well-bitten by bedbugs, dress in an ordinary suit that cost you $500, shoes that cost $50, and a necktie that set you back S8 Your wife puts on dress made by sew ing two large silk bandannas to- gether.
 If you want eggs for breakfast, they'll cost you "A cents each on the black market. They're not to be had on the official market.
 If you're eating breakfast you probably have a job, so you go to work feeling fortunate, because many are unemployed here.
 The worst worry of all is how your family is going to weather the com- ing winter. Allied military govern ment officials see tough months ahead in the coal and food supply outlook.
 The liberation of northern Italy has reopened the big industries needed to revive the italian econ- omy. Eighty per cent of the north ern power plants were recovered in- tact from the Germans.
 But they will need an estimated 100000 tons of coal month, com pared with the mere 35,000 tons that Italy has been assured of get ting. This means either the indus tries won't function or your fam fly goes cold. It probably will be your family, although the author ities may compromise by letting you have enough coal to make fire in the evening.
 Next winters food prospects are lean too, because war and the drought hurt the 1945 crop. The Italian wheat yield is expected to be 31 per cent less than last years, meaning shortage of the bread and macaroni that are the main stays of the Italian diet.
 Last year, italy imported 80OOOo tons of wheat for the Allied-held areas south of the fighting line, and this year some 100000 tons prob- ably will have to be brought in to feed the entire country.
 Seasonal fruits are plentiful now and there is enough low-quality fish available, but there are no canned goods anywhere.
 Wages all over Italy are low, but government decree compels en- ployers to pay living-cost bonus of 90 cents a day to women workers and SIPS to men. The average sec- retary makes anywhere from S6O to S30 month.
 Not everything in the Italian economic picture is black, however. Rents, for example, are fairly req sonable because the Fascists froze rents at the beginning of the war.
