Not since: Norman Brooks tossed a vic- torious racquet had there been such} conscious pride in age. When Mr. Willard unhorsed Floyd Johnson graybeards in these United States probably began to hop around and take violent exercise. Some hinted darkly that eighteen strokes to a| man of seventy was a golfing insult. Senor Firpo almost checked these flights of fancy. Still we were un- convinecd. After all, the Argentine brought crude, drippinsly raw youth to a young man’s game. Mr. Willard’s was the superior science by analysis. Now comes all the natural inso- lence of youth in the person of Bobby Jones and snatches from a host of seamed and corded hands the crown of American golf. This too in a sport known as “an old man’s game.” ‘Youth had cracked at Inwood in the tie play, and the beards were again poised for flight. Yet there were things in Mr. Jones’ young heaven and earth undreamed of in older men’s psychology. He came back stronger in the playoff and fired a shot from the rough to the green which old men heard round the world, Analyses fail at this point. In| five years, which he had the ef- frontery to commence at the age of seventeen, Mr. Jones ran fourteen strokes ahead of his nearest com-| petitor as the master stylist of} American championship play. He | with briefs and prepared speeches. ‘ground, is the time to get things brief span of thirty-five years. At the beginning of that period the first American golf club was organ- ized in New York and a sixhole course was provided for the use of members. It is stated that there is now scarcely a town of 10,000} anywhere in the United States which does not have a golf course. | Several authorities on the physi- cal and mental aspects of human life are quoted in regard to the place occupied in American life by| the great Scottish game. Dr. John B. Watson, a psychologist, says. “It| is the one game in which there is a handicap for neither youth nor age. The age limit in tennis is 40 or, thereabouts; in track athletics, it is 30, in boxing, the same. But in) go'f you’see John D. Rockefeller playing at 88 and all over the coun-| try caddies from eight years old up, are at it. And the scores of all of them are within the same range. Golf has been almost co-extensive with the hygiene movement which has been stressed by life insurance! companies and schools and other, agencies. In one city the insur-| ance companies brought about the establishment of a free links for their policy holders. Nothing takes! the kinks out of a man faster than} a= game of golf, and aside from that, the sunlight element alone is a fac-| tor.”” The Times Magasine says it is! not easy to explain why Scotland’s favorite pastime should gain such a strong hold upon the United States. The Scot is described as; “frugal, reserved, deliberate, taci- turn, camny”—the American is de- scribed as “extravagant, hurried, talkative, impatient, a shaker of| hands and a joiner.” Yet in spite) of the difference in national traits, the golf “industry” in the United} States has in a few years passed the| golf “industry” which has been growing in Scotland for centuries. | ALASKA IN THE SPOT- | LIGHT Mr. Harding went to Alaska for) a rest, but there is no rest for a chief executive. Had he gone to Panama, Hayti or the Philippines! the outcome would have been the Local problems, industrial, political and sectional, gain impor- tance under his scrutiny, and spe- cial pleaders appear at every turn Now, with the president on the settled. Every smouldering dis- pute is fanned to flames. Most insistent is the demand for moving the territorial capital. Ju- neau, set half-way down the south- eastern peninsula, is more accessi- ble from the United States than from the interior of Alaska. An- chorage and Seward are clamoring for the honor—and the business— Anchorage with a fair harbor and railroad facilities, Seward with a deep water harbor and the railway terminal but limited in space for) city growth. If Mr. Harding does) not give his opinion it will not be for lack of opportunity. Nor is the question as simple as) it might appear to outsiders. Link- ed with it are charges of misman-| agement of the government ra’ way, charges of Guggenheim manip- ulation, of a Guggenheim plot to build up Anchorage into a capital, displacing Juneau, charges that the department of the interior has been duped by the Guggenheims into con- sidering a consolidation scheme of administration which would further their interests. Following hard on these complications comes the case of Col. Frederick Mears, who built the Alaskan railroad and has been relieved of duty just as the project nears completion; the shift, it is) said being due to army politics. The president will have to watch his step in Alaska just as in Wash- ington. Whatever he says will_be used. ig TODAY’S ANNIVERSARIES. 1814—Charles Dibdin, who wrote upwards of 1200 songs, died in London.

It also is a game at which youth excels and old men play. own| 5 Sete | A MILLION AMERICANS| PLAYING ANCIENT | was SCOTTISH GAME Golf is now the first sport in America, says the New York Times| gazine.

Ranch House Wrecked RAWLINS, paper cutter paper more neatly than did Dame Wyo., July 25—No ever split a sheet of Nature when she cleaved the Swan- son ranch house on Spring Creek. Her tool was a bolt of lightning and those who visited the ranch house Sunday are egreed that the work had been performed by a gigantic cleaver. And the miraculous part of the job was that the house did not catch on fire nor was it more than slightly damaged. A bolt of lightning struck a con- crete chimney on the west end of the house—destroyed the chimney and proceeded to split the house on the one ‘end and the western portion of! the two sides. The entire house was| moved over a little on its foundation and neat seams were made from the, ridge of the roof in three directions.

The Popo Agie) Light & Power company of this city) has been supplying \its consumers for the past week or more with cur rent generated in their steam plant here, The local plant also is supply: ing the town of Shoshoni with eleo- tricity. No slush gates were provided when the Boysen Dam was constructed and | {t has therefore been impossible to; jet the silt pass. In the years since construction of the dam the large lake that was first formed by the! impounded waters is now filled with | silt carried and deposited by floods. ‘This accumulation has finally de-| stroyed the water power value of the) project and nothing less than the ex-) penditure of thousands of dollars can bring it back to efficiency, according | to engineers who have made investi-| gations. Expenditure of the neces- sary money and placing of improve- ments is made impossible because of the many legal entanglements in which it is involved.

Knowing that most of the wool grow- ers are in debt, with payments com- ing due, the buyers believe that the the banks will compel sales that the The local banks have come to the rescue of the wool-growers as far as| they can; in fact, have advanced| money in many instances to growers | to assist in holding thelr wool for the right market. Tn many parts of the state most of the clips have been sold.

The power is on. i H H H H i i Power—unceasing power —is working to convert limestone and clay or sim- ilar materials into portland cement. Millions of tons of ! rock must be crushed— huge chunks to smaller particles; then to sand-like fineness, and finally to a powder finer than flour. Then comes the burning to glass-hard clinker. After thisclinkerhas been ground i and reground until at least 78percentwill pass through a sieve finer than silk—a sieve with 40,000 openings to the square inch—you have portland cement. But these are only a few of the more than 80 operations in manufacture. To supply the power nec- essary for one of the large cement plants requires a generating station capable of serving the homes, light- ing the streets and operat- ing many factories in a city of more than 150,000 pop- ulation. Into every dollar’s worth af cement the manufacturer puts four times as much as into the average dollar's worth of factory products the country over. Today, in all corners of the United States, 120 plants are working steadily-to supply the country with cement. Full power is on.
