The golf championship is worth a4 million dollars to the holder, it is said. But then, that may be in stage money. The name of Bobby Jones has buen identified with that golf cham- pionship for so long it will not <ound the same without him.

Announcement by Postmaster General New that bids for four new airmail routes will be opened fail to disclose a route along the At- antic seaboard. It is apparent from the list that the post office depart- mient regards airmail communica- tion between various inland cities of greater Importance than a coast line from New York to Florida. The city needs to build one new school a year to keep up with the demand;~it is said. In 20 years that would be 20 additional schools; av- erage cost $200,000; total cost $4,000,000. Not including interest costs on the bonds. " One of the objects in offering a $25,000 prizc to the first aviator flying. between New York and Paris was to stimulate friendly re- iations between the United States and TFrance, remarked Raymond Ortelg, donor of the prize. So far as we can determine relations have always been friendly, except when the war debts are mentioned. In spite of recent aerial happenings, nowever, sald war debts remain an unfriendly topic, and even Colonel Lindbergh, cementer of Franco- American relations, has been tirely mum or. the subject. en- GIVING UP THE TROLLEY TO BERLIN _Although nobody can safely sur- mise what the Public Utilities Com- misslon will do about any problem of' transportation brought before it. it is considered likely “in well in- formed circles” that the petition of the Connecticut company to aban- don the trolley line to Berlin and forece the public to rely altogether npon busses will be granted. If the Connecticut company can- not meet its share of the expense in connection with the paving plans ilong the route, anything left to do but to permit I’ abandonment of the of the trolley line. The line he Berlin depot to Berlin street has been abandoned for a year or more ind nobodv lLas icneed; the public, in prefers the busses. When the city’s representatives appear before the P. U. C. at the hearing one point should be made clear, and that is that if bus to take care of the traffic there must be a sufficient numer, operated upon convenient schedules, to serve the public properly. there s scarcely been inconven- fact, much re CONCENTRAT!

July 1 by one’ you must understand. all advice le enough remainder | from “reorganized” by the | “Connecticut is opposed to cen- tralization,” still others opine. But usually these refer to the federal government in Washington. ‘When it is a question of central- {zation in Cornecticut, centralization usually wins. It won in the last meeting of the legislature when the commission of three was ordered decapitated and the one-commis- sioner plan substituted. The new commissioner of police is appointed by the governor with- out any “by and with the consent” of the legislature; and he is respon- sible solely to the governor, not to the legislaturcs. This prevents the legislature from playing politics with the appointment; the com- missioner, of course, will take care to play up with the governor, Perhaps the plan, all things con- sidered, is a good one. Much de- pends upon the individual. As an in- dividual Hurley seems to play square. Running the state police is rot conductive to overwhelming popularity, but a man can do it and still retain the good will of the pow- ers that be, especially the governor. But let no one claim that con- centration of power is not on the increase in Connecticut. From Raraback down it is the essence of concentration, with the legislatura just so much star dust, or nebulae, every two years. FILM TAXES AND SUNDAY AFTERNOON SHOWS It will have been noted, perhaps, that the late lamented legislature took up the moving picture tax situ- ation in the state, remedied what fashion—and Jollied the moving pic- ture interests into being well satis- fied. The moving picture interests still are liable to a special tax, in a less onerous and new form. It was no- ticed they did not object as vehe- mently to the tax as they did to the iniquities of the tax levied by the 1925 legislature, There may be a reason. The 1927 legislature kept them mollified with the promise of better things. When the moving picture people learned of the plan they no doubt felt pleased at the prospect. The tax was not so bad it a bill could be passed legalizing. Sunday afternoon shows in such cities where the peo- ple wanted them, The moving picture people are as human as the remainder of us, and no doubt considered the possibilities of Sunday afternoon performances as more important than a special tax. So they got both. All that needs to be achieved now is to obtain lo- cal permission to open the doors on Sunday afternoons. That isn't pro- gressing rapidly, but it doesn’t make much differerce during the summer months. The main battle will come in the fall, when opening the doors on Sunday afternoon will mean something substantial in the way of shekels. The battle will be waged strongly in the first five citles of the state. Opening on Sunday afternoons cannot be lightly obtained, however. Opposition has arisen, and influen- tial peoplz in all the cities are op- posed to the scheme. This opposi- tion has made itself manifest in New Britain and Hartford, and doubtless will not be found dormant in the other cities of the state. The genera! opinion seems to be that film shows on Sunday evenings have tended to maintain good morals and good conduct. Most of those who go to movies on Sunday nights, it is claimed, would not go to church if the movies were closed at that time, and might be occupy- | ing their time to worse advantage. This being the case, movies on Sun- Aay afterroons would have the same result, it is declared. But there's the rub. Those who oppos: the opening of the theaters in the afternoon do not accept this thesis. The line must be drawn some- | where, perhaps, but to draw it is a | very hard problem.

Years ago a gentleman hired to give a commencement address — the price, as we remember it, being ten complete silver or paper dollars —enunciated the embodiment of commencement day truth. All that needs be said, he told his hearers, can be concentrated in one short: sentence, one that is beyond im- provement, one that eovers all the territory any hour-long commence- ment oration can cover. The sen- tence: “Don’t think you know it all.” And Ir closing, dear children, we will not attempt an improvement upon this sentence of general appli- cation. It is one of those wisdom- tooth observations which never wear out, as applicable today as it was in 1890. It Is an effective foil for the opinion sometimes held by com- mencement-day auditors to wit: “Now we are highly educated and the world owes us a soft living.” Most successful men and women have forgotten all they ever knew about the details of various subjects they once spent years in studying. They don't think they know every- thing about anything, but manage to get along and find the money to pay for what goes with the educa- tion of the Marys and Johns they have brought into the world and take pride in. Most of the youngsters green tromh school know more than dad—or the employment manager— trignometry, botany, phil- or grammar. But investigation will disclose that dad or the employment ' manager has kad a slight speaking ' acquaintance and experience with certain other less complicated sub- jects for which soclety is willing to reward him with enough hard-earn- d money,to pay the expenses of his family. And that's something. It's a long trail to get that far.

The razz, we are in- clined to think, makes a noise like a buzz-saw in the vicinity of Author Lewis. As a product of the Babbitt country, Colonel Lindbergh com- pares rather favorably with any- thing the sophisticated intelligentsia has turned out for many a day. Lewis held up the foibles of the common citizenry as if they were terrible blemishes. The minds of many readers were turned against the small town; men who were re- garded as good fellows and enter- prising citizenry came to be known as “Babbitts.” It came to be an acknowledgement of wit, smartness znd intellectual style to look down upon every person who couldn't or wouldn’t discuss the arts and sci- cinces with fatellectual panhandlers. The really intelligent citizenry, however, failed to be alarmed. They read the acrid diagnosis of Lewis- onianism with the mental backdrop accorded ihe literary buffooneries of H. L. Mencken. They found a type of enjoyment and pleasure in be- coming acquainted with the show; if they became conyinced about any one thing it was that the author had a saleable product. No one with sense regarded it as deplcting an accurate appraisal of small town | lie, any more than any other book | dealing with omery characteristics | of a sat of imaginary characters | truthfully depicts the inwardness of { life in the vicinity.

Baccalaureate speal ers have gone to other extremes and with their profound wisdom and im- posing mannerisms, have delivered heavy advice sufficient to convince the graduate that life is an ogre, something to be feared. There is a middle ground, one which, it seems to the writer, can be just as earnestly discussed for the benefit of those whom it is desired to impress. Life is not a lark; neither is it a dark, dismal journey during the progress of which we must al ways have our minds working own fortunes. Life is made up of laughter and tears and those moments in be. tween when one may be serious and think of his own earthly = success and of the life to come. It would be idle to spend this existence en- tirely in laughter; it would be a calamity to spend it entirely in tears. But laughter and tears are necessary. One cannot enjoy the laughter unless he has shed tears any more than one can enjoy the full !effects of the mountain top vision until he has been down in the val- ley. The object of education is to train the mind and premote the strength- ening of character. Neither can be attained without effort. girls graduating from high school have been through only the first period of life. Public funds have been at their disposal and the best teaching talent a community can afford to hire has been making an effort to inculcate ideals into their souls and to train their minds to remember. Graduation from high school is only a milestone passed. The gradu, ate should not be impatient if the world does not fall at his feet in token of worship. He should not be impatient if elder people do not listen to his counsels. Age alone brings wisdom and the millions who have been through life and have had to fight their daily battles with- out let-up cannot be expected to lend a ready ear to one who has yet to face the task of earning a liv- ing. You graduates, don't take life too seriously. Be serious when neces- sary, but don't be too seriously seri- ous. In the rush along life's path- way, don’t fall to look around you or you will miss the many flowers which border your path. Don’t measure success in dollars. Money is necesary. It is desirable. But there are many other things in life Jjust as desirable. A man can ap- preciate a beautiful sunset, even though his funds be limited, gets more but of life than a rich man who sees nothing except dollars. Ap- preciation of the finer things of the world is worth while cultivating and pays larger dividends than invest- ments in factories or railroads. Make a hobby of studying some art. It may lead no place in partieular but you will find great enjoyment from it and you will be a more agreeable companion for those about you. Laugh when you can but don't make pleasure your goal. And don’t forget that hard work is essential to success. Stick to whatever task you take up and master it. Someone once said that a man can't lift him- self by his own bootstraps. That someone was wrong. A man's ot to lift himself by lhis own bootftraps or he will remain in the same foot- steps throughout his life.

Last week you'll remember, we took up hurd- ling and what fun it was. I hope all you folks practiced hard and that your friends didn’t forget to send oranges around and to come during the regular visiting hours, namely 2 to 5 o'clock. This week we will take up fox hunting. This sport has gained much favor among the “beau monde” of Virginia, Kentucky and New Rochelle during the past few years and few really soclally prominent people are absent when the fox is liberated on these frosty October mornings. A fox is generally wused in fox hunting, although a muskrat or & Kodiack bear is also good fun but apt to prove tiresome after the bear has cuffed a few people into obli- vion. After all there is nothing like a good red fox to give plenty of action to the hunting expedition. Any fox will do but he must be labelled “Reynard” by all authors and mos{ magazine editors before he becomes authentic, although no- body exactly knows why he should be called “Reynard.’ * \ Now come the hounds. And when they come be sure to climb the nearest tree in rapid order. Any hound will do for a fox hound but he must be of the type that bites oft one's hand after one has stop- ped feeding him, In 1904 there was a case of a fox hound that could be actually petted; at least it was wide- ly reported that such an animal ex- isted, although later disclosures hinted that the hound/was merely a bloodhound and could not, natural- ly, qualify. The hounds should num- ber approximately 300 or 303. They should yap a great deal and bite old Mr. Limpton behind the right ankle shortly after sunrise. Comes the dawn and the merry huntsmen troop out of .the house, rubbing their eyes and mumbling something about “Damfoolishness to get up in the middle of the night to chase a fox.” The fox is then dipped in “Coty’s Chipre” and given a light dusting of ‘“Quelque Fleurs,” then liberated and—the chase is on! If the fox refuses to take things seriously and will not run give it a firm kick in the ribs and—the chase is on.! If Mrs. Gormley becomes tangled up in tWe stirrups and is dragged down a ploughed field after the fox, cut her loose and—the chase is on! At all events no effort must be spared to get the chase on. Rip out a few seams if it won't go on at once, Now you are galloping wildly over a meadow, now you are plunging more wildly through 2 wooded piece of ground, now you pass the hounds, now you pass the fox always be sure to sound your horn and pass to the LEFT of the animal. Now you have passed the city limits and—the chase is on! What matter it you have passed the hounds and the fox and a high powered tourjng car as though they were all standing still? Is not the wind in one's ears and the dust in one's teeth enough without wanting to witness the exciting “kill?"” What matter if your horse is running away and doesn’t seem reasonably sure of ever stopping? You are out for the sport of the thing and not for any gain, aren’t you? Now scan the territory carefully until you spot a rushing brook or & small pond. Your horse will see it and will head for it. Remember your hurdling instructions; - your horse will stop, and — the chase is on! Next week: “Polo, or The Simpler Treatments of Concussion of the Brain.” Evidence that there is an 18th amendment to the constitution is brought forcibly home by the action of a court judge this week in ap- proving a temporary injunction against premises which have be- come notorious because liquor has been so0ld there. This is the first in- stance of its kind in New Britain although it has been resorted to as a weapon by law enforcement of- ficers in other cities. The issuance of a temporary in- junction does not mean that the premises are to be padlocked. The owner of the property is simply no- tified that the court has taken rec- ognition of the reputation of the place and- specifically forbids the sale of liquor there. If the injunc- tion is ignored, the person against whom it is directed may be cited for contempt of court and punish- ed for that offence. The padiock is one of the strong- est arguments at the disposaj of the law. It effectually closes a place of business to trade and forblds the use of the premises for all purposcs. It hits directly at the pocket book of the property owner hecause it cuts off income from fhe store. Citi- zens interested in the enforcement of prohibition are watching the | outcome of the case closely. They ! believe that persons who have open- | ly defied the 18th amendment will be checked by the action of the prosecutor and that their enthusi- asm for making mdney in contra- band will be dampened.

ARMOUR 15 GOLF CHAMP OF L., Veteran Golfer Makes Great Up- hill Fight to Win Tifle - Oakmont, Pa., June 18 (M—Toms my Armour today is open golf cham« pion of the United States, thanks as much to his heart as his hands. The Scotsman who is pro at the Con. gressional Country club, of Washing« ton, in defeating Harry Cooper, 22- year-old Los Angeles professional, in an 18-hole play off yesterday, after a tie at 72 holes in the open, won his’ title with a courageous exhibition. The score was 76 to 79, but the three strokes were gained late in the day, two coming at the sixteenth and the third at the eighteenth where it did not mean anything. Oft in front, Armour, who rose from private to staffmajor in the British army during the war and was seriously wounded, saw his lead shot away and finally was forced to stand by and see hi§ youthful rival go two strokes aheadi The veteran, much older in golf than his years would suggest, staged his comeback with a long putt at the 15th, where he squared the count. His victory seem- ed certain when he came from the rough close by the pin on the 16th where Cooper floundered in a trap and finally took five strokes. Armour was leading by a stroke coming to the ninth, but he was con- tent with a par five there, while Cooper got down a Birdle four, make ing the strokes the same for the nine holes, 39. Armour neecded three strokes to reach the tenth green and lost a stroke to his opponent and was two strokes hehind after the elev- enth where his tee shot found a cross ditch and his recovery went into a trap after striking the edge of the green. After halving the twelfth in par five, Armour regained a stroke at the 164 yard thirteenth, where Cooper was off the greea with his tee shot and needed two putts after getting on, Armour getting down in two. The fifteenth was one of the three big holes of the play-off. Here both were in traps after their second shots and both came out onto the green about fifty fcet from the pin. Armour went boldly for the cup and was all square again when the long putt dropped in. The treacherous sixteenth gave Armour a mortgage on the title and the seventeenth foretlosed it. At 16,234 yards long but par three, Ar- mour’s spoon shat struck the grecn and trickled over but not too far. Cooper's tee shot was to the right of the geren in a trap. Cooper blazed away at the ball but succceded only in getting it in the grass on the side of the trap. Armaur carefully chip- ped to within three feet of the cup while Cooper, already in a serious situation, made it worse when he failed to get close from the edge of the green and had to take two putts, Two great shots on the sevene teenth practically ended the contest, regardless of the eighteenth., Armour crashed out a tremendous drive of 250 yards to within sight of the winding, sloping green. Cooper from well back, seat.his approach tpin- ning to the green and within eighe teen inches ot the cup. Armour then boldly shot for the cup, over a deep trap that might have eaten up any number of strokes. He was inside Cooper a few inches and the two birdies left the Washingtonian two strokes to the good with one hole to play. {i Armour reached'the home green in two while Cooper needed three and was then too far away to hope for his putt to go down. Armour could then take four putts to win but he only took two and was champlon. Armour, a modest golfer, explain- cd his victory by saying he “got the breaks.” Cooper, a sensational shot maker, was not downhearted and declared: "I was lucky to get as far as } did.” The stern unfeeling )Oakmont course stood up under the strain of the extra round, the winner being four strokes over par and the loser seven strokes above perfsct golf for the course of & hundred traps. ‘The phrase about the moon being made of green cheese came into use from the works of Rabelais, & Frenchman whose writing were translated into English in 1784,
