Much has been written lately con- cerning the great shortage of good hickory in this country, and ,the chances of the golfers of the land be- ing forced to play the game with shafts which were not good and firm. The facts of the matter are these: the great growth of golf and the surpris- ing numbers of players who demand nothing but the best in the way of shafts has caught many of the shaft manufacturers with a scanty supply on hand, scanty when the amount above the usual quantity desired now is considered. The result has been a scarcity in the best grade of shafts which may continue for a twelve month, but not a moment after that. There is enough hickory in the coun- try and of the best grade which will last golfers for the next fifty years and longer, but it will take another year before that which is being left to ripen, or season rather, will be put on the market. Nowadays a _golfer looks more to the shape of the head than to the grain of the shaft, therefore, in your favorite club do mnot put it to undue severe tests until the champion- | ships are over.—Golf Iilustrated.

Under a special rule an administra- tion amendment giving authority to take over private shipbuilding plants in timé of stress was adopted and the construction authorization for the com- ing year as agreed on in committee was approved after various amendments to enlarge and curtail it had been voted down. The section authorizes one bat- tle cruiser, three battleships, eighteen submarines and twenty vessels of other types. Only two amendments remained to be disposed of when the house adjourn- ed and they will be voted on at the start of tomorrow’s session. They are the proposals for the $12,000,000 addi- tional appropriation to fit navy yards for construction and for an appropria- tion of $1,000,000 to purchase basic patents of aircraft. Both were recom- mended by Secretary Daniels and are expected to pass. Before the amendment providing for taking over private plants was adopt- ed the house struck out a specific au- thorization for suspending eight hour labar regulations in emergency.
