JONES WINS GOLF TITLE, 8-YEAR GOAL (Continued from First Page.) i holes figuring in the match, Jones having the better tee shots at three of them and Von Elm being nearer to Eighteen par 4 holes were played. at 10 of them his second shots were better. Jones took 47 putts, including six 1-put greens and one 3-putt green due to a stymie. Von Elm required 58 putts, including three 1-putt greens and five where he took three putts each. Jones, who finished second in the 36-hole qualifying round with 72-72— 144, advanced to the final round by eliminating four strong opponents. In the first round he defeated W. J. Thompson of Toronto, 6 and 5. In the second round he put out by 3 and 2 D. Clarke Corkran of Philadelphia, Who won the medal with 67-75—142. Jones' next victim was Rudolph E. Knepper of Chicago, who was de- feated by 6 and 4 after eliminating the great Chick Evans decisively. Francis Ouimet, former open and amateur champion, succumbed to Jones' accuracy by the unprecedent- ed semi-final round score of 11 and 10. Five Stymles Laid. Five stymies were laid today, four by Jones and one by Von Elm. Neither player succeeded in playing around or chipping over the interfering ball Jone lost one hole as the result of a Stymie and possibly won another. The other holes where stymies occurred were halved, the obstacle hindering utts by Von Elm. lo'.;zn:a wax{;ed from shot to shot threugh the green with a husky British bodyguard.

Our Chewing Gum Bill Big. When the Prince of Wales chewed gum while visiting in this country he abetted an American habit. The peo- ple of the United States pay more than $1,000,000 a week for their chew- ing gum. The habit of chewing evi- dently is growing, for the output has doubled since 1914. The export sales of gum are large and increasing. The product goes to practically every courtry In the world. Fashion Causes Fox Farms. Owing to the great vogue for wom- en's furs, especially silver fox pleces, a new industry has been started {n the Northern States. Silver fox farms may be seen in many places where the climate is adaptable. Alaskan silver foxes' were brought to the States for this purpose in great num- ber. and .they seem to thrive in the colder sections. Nearly $5,000 a pair has been paid for good brood foxes. Needle Taken From Lung. ‘When Joseph Alcorn, superintend- ent of the Pacific Power and Light Co. in Yakima, Wash., rolled over in bed his back was pierced by a needle that penetrated into one lung.

Figures Show Few Like to Travel Unprotected. LONDON, September 27.—Although it is the boast of “modern Eve" that she is quite able to 1ook after herself, the days have yet to come when she will be able to do without aid and care when traveling about the country. The latest report of the Travelers Ald Soclety, which exists to help girls and women, shows that their work has grown greater than ever, and statistics for the past year state that 3,307 women and girls have béen met at London stations and docks, 23¢ have been assisted abroad and 577 “stray cases” have ben put ofi the right road. A long journey alone, especially for the first time, still causes misgivings to English girls, and the idea of cross- ing London without escort appals some of them.

In the old days butchers used cer- tain ferocious and tenaclous dogs to catch and hold’ bulls ready for the slaughter. Hence the name “bull- dog,” which has been handed down. These dogs could with apparent ease seize and hold a large animal by the nose and either hold him perfectly still or draw his head to one eide, at the order of his master. el One hundred . sailors. and marines helped to lift a tramecar at Torquay, England, to set free two midshipmen| on a motor cycle who were trapped beneath the heavy vehicle.

Out in the country, where the pump- kins arc yellow and the trees bend- ing with pears and apples, they call it harvest. In the city's tangled maz of garage-lined alleys, however, late September becomes not a time of harvest, but of the year's fullest riot of floral color. Washington is a city of blossoming Autumns—almost unique in this re- spect. Its Summer is upside down. During the hot, dry days of June, July and August, when the flower gardens of cities to the north are at their best, District back yards are likely to present a rather starved ap- pearance. The ime flush of ram- bling roses is over. The old-fashioned annuals and percnnials come into only a fragmentary flowering. Pyramids of Color. But with the cool nights of the pre-Hallowe'en scason, when stars glitter over gardens, the tea roses, the zinnias, the marigolds, the cos mos, the dahlias, the pinks and gar- den carnations and a dozen other favorites of Washington gardencrs become riotous with color. At the same time the first frosts have not wilted the morning glories on back fences and the hot suns do not fold up the blossoms for the day by 9 am And the purple bean flowers and red cypress vines over the porches stay persistently in blossom It is the season of red, white, blue and pink althea bushes. These have struggled since of back yards with a scattering of hollyhock-like blossoms. Like girls in their early 'teens, just before their first dates, these bushes present a rather straggling, awkward appear- ance. Now every bud has opened and the altheas are living pyramids of color. Old-Fashioned Favorites. A hasty survey of the back yards of ‘Washington, where June and Septem- ber so curiously change places, indi- cates a return to popularity this year of the old-fashioned flowers—particu- larly asters, zinnias and marigolds. There have not been so many zinnia beds in years. Few houses can be found, even in the more thickly pop- ulated sections of the city, which have not a few of these duil, luster- | less ever bloomers—either double or single. These beds have been blossoming for months—but now has come the true season of their grandeur. Zin- nias are sometimes known as “Old Maid's Delights'—and during the Summer months they have an old- matdish suggestion about them. But in September they don the raiment of | brides. This year has been particu- larly propitious. The dozens of parks about the Capi- tal are at their best with rose and canna beds. Probably the most re- markable flower display ever in Washington can be seen this week at the rose exhibit garden planted this year in East Potomac Park just at the foot of Fourteenth street. Here are about 2,000 bushes—red and pink radiance, Madame Butterfly, Ophelia, white Kilarney, Columbia and pil- grim—every one with oné and some with dozens of blossoms. Carpets of Pink. The Columbia beds, particular, are perfect carpets of pink, some of the DETECTIVES ARREST WOMAN FROM CHURCH Mrs. Catherine Finell, Indicted on Theft Charges, Again in Toils. Mrs. Catherine Finell, indicted some time ago on three charges of larceny in connection with a series of pick- pocket thefts in various churches here, was rearrested last night by Headquarters Detectives Edward Kelly and Charles Mansfield while in St. Patrick’s Catholic Church, Tenth and G streets. Police served an at- tachment on her, as an outgrowth of the previous indictments and she was lodged In the house of detention. Mrs. Finall, who also is sald by the police to have used the names Fitz- hugh and Ebrthrup, was taken into custody after the detectives had trailed.her into the church to watch her actions. While there, they state, a woman worshiper announced that some one had taken her pocketbook, and the officers then placed Mrs. Fin- ell under arrest. Nothing was found on her, however. Kelly and Mansfield first noticed her earlier in the evening among a crowd of men and women attending a recep- tion for John W. Davis, Democratic nominee for President, at a down- town hotel. Although protesting her innocence of the church incident, she was held on a court .attachment, which has been in the hands of the police for service For “Her” Birthday.

Old-Fashioned Varieties Are Favorites. Roses Supreme. blossoms measuring three to four inches across. These have remained in blossom every day this summer, in spite of the rain and the hot weather, but are almost doubly beautiful this week. The red radiance bushes are from three to four feet high, each covered with unusually large blooms. The red and yellow cannas are blossoming at their best and probably will remain in full bloom for two weeks more, unless a frost inter venes. These have been used to a great extent this Summer in the smaller parks.

The cosmos has a peculiar ability and it is not uncommon to see them still blooming after the first enows. Roscbushes Are Showy. Perhaps the most showy flowers of the season are the back yard rose- bushes. They have been growing steadily and blossoming intermittent- 1y all summer, but now they are liter- ally covered with blooms. Even | some of the climbing roses are blos- soming again—although not with the same flush which they displayed in May. Dahlias, which have been consid- ered a dependable flower for Wash- ington, have proved rather untrust- worthy this year. The usual stretches of wet weather, it is ex- plained, have prevented these flowers from reaching their fullest fruition. Sometimes the buds fail to open. In other cases the flowers appear rather sickly. This has not prevent- ed however, some pemarkable back- yard displays of red and white dahlias—some of the blossoms at- taining _an enormous size. The District is sharing the sur- rounding country an excellent fruit year. Back-yard grape arbors are loaded and the pear trees, in particu- lar, are bending under the weight of the fruit. But Washington has shown scant inclination to take up the space of its back-yard with either fruits or vegetables, preferring the decorative effects of flowers. The “festival of back-yards” Is purely a floral holiday time. Police Declare Monkey Warned Cops® Approach A pet m8nkey perched on the sill of a front window of the house at 919 New Jersey avenue, warned 21 young men, alleged to have been rolling dice inside, of the approach of a police ralding squad, last night, the members of the squad declared. The monkey, it was stated, ex- citedly jumped from the window into the room and then into the arms of one of the “guests,” who hid the simian beast beneath his coat, as the raiders from No. precinct broke in. Martin W. Hamel of 910 D street northeast was arrested and charged with setting up a gam- ing table. A small quaatity of change was seized, police reported. The same squad later arrested William Garth, formerly a police- man of No, 6 precinct of 405 G street, and charged him with il- legal sale and possession of liquor. —_— School to Oust Deadheads.

Sherrill Considers Shifts | to Open Traffic Through Rock Creek. Proposals to shift certain roads in Rock Creek Park near the Zoo and to widen fords in order to m: the | Park a more accessible and convenient artery for traffic naturally cutting through it have been made to Col.| C. O. Sherrill, officer in charge o!‘ | public buildings and grounds { One of the proposale, which is | understood already to have r cived | the informal approval of Col. Sherrill, would provide for through traffic by | way of Adams Mill road, through a | road now closed through the Zoo at { sundown. across a new ford and up onto Cathedral avenue. | At the present time a gate is closed | |at the entrance of the road into the Zoo near Adams Mill road, obstruct- ing traffic after that time. | One Proposal Favored. 1 The proposal understood to be fav- orably considered by Col. Sherrill prc vides for the transfer a circular part of good roadway skirting a hill within the Zoo. beginning at the en- trance at Adams Mill road, to a place near the fox pens, from its present status under the Smithsonian Inetitu- tion to the Potomac Parkway Com- mission. This would=eall for moving of the fence to the other side of the road. It would open the artery to traffic all the time and, it has been stated. would not obstruct the view to be obtained therefrom nor hinder any of the present of the road the fox pens it would be nece to conetruct a new ford, it has pointed out, and provide paving of an outlet which eventually would cut | into Cathedral avenue. This proposal is understood to have been given more favorable considera- | tion in lieu of another former propo- | sition which was to have accomplish- | ed the same purpose of providing a connecting link for traffic from both | | i sides of Rock Creek Park at this important point. Big Difference in Costs. The former or alternate proposal. it is understood, would have cost about $260.000. or about 10 times as much as the plan to move over the fence, build a new ford and do some paving. The previous plan would have transferred an old colored cemetery in the vicinity and constructed a new artery straight through this general territory, connecting up the roads on both sides of the park. Widening of the present fords has been proposed to Col. Sherrill as a means of making them passable even in high water, During the Spring and | Fall there are frequent intervals, it | is pointed out. when the roads in Rock Creek Park are closed by gates on account of high water in the fords. Were the fords themselves to be widened sufficiently, it is pointed out, they would be “navigable” by auto- mobile even during most of the high water on account of the wider stream bed cutting down the depth of the flow.

There is a lack of funds to indem- nify the Turks who came back home, and no money to erect houses and put them back on the land in Anatolia. “Turkey for the Turks" still con- tinues to be the slogan of National- ist politicians. Anatolia has been torn by war for so many years that it offers poor returns to Turks who had been more fortunately located in Macedonia and other parts of Greece. Miss Leila L.
