Teen.Ager Is Favored
Over Vet Women's S
Western Golf Event
BY tho As.ociofed Press

EVANSTON, Ill.,, Aug. 12.-Mary
McMillin, 19-year-old daughter of
a Green Bay. Wis, dentist, today
pitted her youth and sensational
golfing shots against veteran Dot
Kirby of Atlanta. Ga, in the feature
first round match of the Womens
Western Amateur tournament.
Miss McMillin, an affable bru-
nette who has been playing golf
with her dad since she was 13.
Jumped to national fame last year
by eliminating Babe zaharias in the
semifnals of the Western Amateur
at Cleveland after beating defending
champion Phyllis otto in the first
round.
She likes to be ranked the under
dog, but now finds she has outgrown
this role as one of the country's out
standing teen-age competitors and
today was rated the favorite against
the seasoned Miss Kirby.
Miss McMillin, who qualified yes
terday with an 80 to Miss Kirby's "a,
learned the pitfan of over confidence
on the golf course young enough to
guard against distraction in this
tournament Although she played the
giant killer part in the 1916 anna
teur meet to gain the finals she was
drubbed IL and 10 in her champion
ship bout with Louise Suggs.
'sThat- defeat was one I don't
like to remember" said Mary. II
hope it doesn't happen again"
It could be that the Wisconsin
champion, one of nine State titlists
to enter today's first round, may
again meet Miss Suggs in the finals.
They are in opposite brackets OF
the pairings.
Miss Suggs, winner OF the 1916
Western Open as well as amateur
and a repeater for the open title
earlier this season, today faced
Claire Doran of Cleveland in an
upper bracket match. Miss Suggs
scored an 80 to qualify and Miss
Doran carded an "a.

The change recently voted also

Because of the drastic reduction
in the duck hunting season, Mary
land will permit sneak boat shoot
ing on the Susquehanna Flats for
six days week this year, instead of
three days a week as formerly. The
increased shooting pressure on the
ducks in this area may well scare
them farther south, giving the
hunters a better break in Chesa-

One parent expressed the senti-
ment of the whole community when
he said, "Goldfaden's tops with us
out there. What he's done for the
kids is something wonderful. When
he's in charge of the youngsters
you don't have thing to worry
about"
Goldfaden played three years of
good basket ball with George Wash
ington, graduating in 1887. He got
his masters degree in physical edu-
cation from there in 1916. He played
pro basket ball locally with the
Heurich Brewers from 1888 through
194e and after that was with Har-
risburg and Wilmington. He's been
with Greenbelt since 1888 except
for two years spent in the Navy.

amortized loan-probably the best
arrangement he could have made
generally throughout the country,
would have been per cent and IL
years to pay. The monthly pay
ment would have been $7S.08.
However, the purchaser usually
made a down payment, assumed a
three-to-flve year first mortgage.
and, in addition, gave a second
mortgage for the difference, local
mortgage loan officials point out.
Fees Then for Renewal.
With only interest payments re-
quired on the first mortgage and
amortized payments on the second,
the homeowner thought he was in
good shape, but often in three years
the first mortgage was due and in
order to get renewal, or an extern
sion, he had to pay a fee in addi-
ton to the interest.
Three, six and nine year periods
would roll by and still no required
payments on the principal. In
numerous instances, the narrower
was unable to renew the mortgage,
for one reason or another, and the
inevitable foreclosure took place.
During the depression years, funds
were not available to invest in these
maturing mortgages, and it is an
accepted fact that this type of
financing accelerated and prolonged
the depression, with foreclosures on
thousands of homes.

It costs too much to build:
Practically everything in a mod

rials can seldom be used. The varia-
tions of materials used mean extra
care and skill in erection. Con-
tractors and workmen are doing
things for the first time. The
spread-out. irregular plan Of the
house means more foundation and
more roof, a more complicated heat

to the labor involved.
Heating More Costly.
It costs too much to operate and

In climates requiring artificial
heat, the cost Of heating q modern
house with its large roof area and
excessive windows is far greater
than that for a compact, traditional

roofs covered with built-up roofing
are a constant source of expense.

The bar has become to the modern
home what the fireplace was to the
homes of our forebears.
So much for the esthetic.
It Is not livable:
The modern plan seems to take
its inspiration from that modern
institution. the night club. The
living area Git is not called a room
now in the best circles is all en-
bracing. Here the family and guests
sit, read, dance, play bridge or the
saxophone, eat and, in many cases,
even cook. And the children, If
there are any, play on the floor with
their trains and dolls.
Individual Privacy Gone.
All provision for individual pri-
vacy has been relegated to the limbo
of forgotten things. Any individual
who prefers a bit of quiet while the
night club is in full swing, must
shut himself in his bedroom or go
for row on the lake. And the
bedrooms aren't designed for relaxa-
ton except in bed, so he can't be
very cozy in there.
Dining Room Disappears.
Dining is done in the eating

times on a more or LESS normal table
with chairs, but more often on a
round table in front of built-in
wall couch, usually semicircular.
And, of course, there is the bar

often also a smack bar where the

The most important items con-
tributing to the price of that dream
house are the cost of land. cost of
building materials. cost Of labor,
offsite improvements such as sewers,

other hazard insurance, title costs,

The last item alone has dropped
