- ABOUT THIS TIME-SPRING “Spring Is in the Air and the Old Man Isn’t Sure Whether to Plant a Few Potato Seeds or Mount ’Em in a Ring’’—“The Surest Sign of Spring Is When the Janitor Turns on the Steam” —‘“‘Next Week Is Spring on the Cal- endar, but Don’t Change ’Em for a While.” By Arthur (“Bugs’’) Baer. Copyright, 1917, by The Press Publiching Co. (The New York Evening World) About the surest sign of spring is when the Bell Company calls in the heavy winter flannel telephone books and substitutes the Nght sum mer Iinen pamphlets, Incidentally, there are 410,000 names in the tele- Phone book, very few of which are lost by evaporation. Out of these 410,000 names about 410,000 are addicted to golf, yachting, baseball and other outdoor epidemics, while the rest are normal. All of which gives Luna the nomination by a huge majority Dissecting the 410,000 into edible forkfuls, you discover that just about 399,000 are suffering from golf in all its intricate forms and ramiflcrtions Golf {s an incurable talent. @aruso may lose his voice, Carter may lose his pilla, the Vernon Castles their an technique, Heinz his pickles, but ®@ golfer never Joses his golf any more than a grasshopper loses hop- ping ability. It's incorporated into bis career just like water is part of a fish's curriculum. Winter may handcuff the golfer for a fow whirls of the old Ingersoll, but the first warm day of spring thaws out his links vocabu- lary and he goes to it. | The only trouble with winter is that you don’t get any days off for good behavior, Radiator golf isn’t very nutritious. With a blizzard as a natural hazard, six inches of the souplest kind of slush as a bunker and stymied by the high cost of biscuits, a golfer doesn't get much chance to wear the links out in winter. Puttering around the house doesn't Improve your putting any. But just as soon as the subway starts to print their summerweight tickets old George Golfer pops up like an old debt. Winter Divouacs very heavily on the golfer's chest. In winter the golfer is just ’@ much out of office as the Republican Party. But when the wila geese honk north in the spring, John J. Golferino has his mashie manicured at ‘Tiffany's, sticks his Baron Munchausen in bis back pocket and ankles out to the links to epoll the contour of our perfeotly good round earth that cost Columbus one egg to prove.

The American Woolen Co. has withdrawn all quotations. The govern- ment must have first chance at its output. Clothing manufacturers are hoarding clothing—or asking almost prohibitive prices. Foreseeing this, we bought ahead of our needs. We knew the clothing would be good as gold—perhaps better.
