Guilfora drove two shots out of bounds at the third and his third shot from the tee was in a ditch. He also was short on the green, Tolley win. ing the hole easily on his fourth shat, but Guilford holed a four-yard putt for a win in two on the tourth hole. In playing the fifth hole Gufiford pulled ‘Kis tee shot into the Gorze but made & good recovery while Tolley played an indifferent second shot and flubbed his third badly. As a result Guilford squared the match by win- ing the hole 6 to 6. Tolley was short with his approach to the sixth, while Guilford was nifty on the green in 2. He won the hole 4 to 5. At the short seventh Tolley was on the green. Guilford with a weak sec- ond was still short of the green and Tolley playing the hole perfectly won it 3 to 4.

In the Jones-Hamlet match, the American took matters easily in the early stages and was one down at the 6th. The 5th was a disastrous hole for Jones. He pulled his tee shot into the gorse and was obliged to play it out On this shot he sent the ball five yards into another bush and | from here he found the rough. He put his fourth on the green, but missed a putt for a half, ‘What Jones himself thought of the mess was shown when he picked up on the green with such force that it bounded high in the air.

Leading engineers, manufac- turers, technologists and educators heard a sharp indictment of methods in American industry by L. W. Wal- lace of Washington, executive -secre- tary of the American Engineering council of the Federated American Engineering societies. The American people, he said, were “paying a stupendous subsidy’’ through changing styles in women’s hats, shoes and millinery. Every- time fashion decreed a slight style change in the cut of the lapel of a man’s cdat, more waste occurred, he said. Lack of effective planning ot elevators in great centers like Chica- go and New York, industrial design of locomotives and the commission sys- tem in housing and puilding were add- ing to the people’s burdens. he said. Mr. Wallace gave the first official findings of the American Engineering council’s committee on elimination of waste in industry, appointed by Her- bert Hoover. “In the manufacture and sale of ladies’ hats, shoes and millinery,”” said Mr. Wallace, “there is great waste through changing styles. Who is re- sponsible? The designer, the manu- facturer and the dealer, will tell you that the women demand radical and frequent changes. The woman. will earnestly insist that she would be con- tent to wear last yvear's dress if it ‘were not out of style. “‘A prominent locomotive builder was able to build 163 standard de- signed locomotives in five weeks, while it was able to produce only 104 locomotives of industrial design in the same period. “Twenty-five per cent. reduction in production possibly occurred in every men’s ready-made ‘clothing plant in- vestigated that adopted a slight style in the cut of the lapel of the Admiral Sims Hailed As Friend of England London, May 24.—Newspapers of this city view today in extending warm editorial greetings to Rear Ad- miral William S.
