The "Robin Hood". is, in truth, a hat-form commonly encounter- ed in Greek vase-paintings, es- pecially of the 6th century B.C. In that archaic period of Hel- lenic art, the Hero Perseus is often shown as wearing a "Robin Hood." and it is 'only much later that we encounter him wearing what we had better call his "mere classical" type of head- gear: the steel helmet of the pat- tern issued to British troops during the two World Wars — winged for Perseus .

As attorney-business manager for I all three golfem McOormock was guaranteed '11 per cent of the $76,000. in prize money, "Mark," says Nicklaus, who w0.11 the match by four strokes, "is worth every penny he 'receives." If anyone wants Palmer to play an exhibition in his town, asks Player to sing on his tele- vision. show, or tries to get Nick- laus to endorse a cigarette, there's only ono man he can do business with * Mark McCor- mack, Hustling about in the golf and business world, scrib- bling on index cards. McCor- meek supervises all business af- fairs for Palmer, Player, Nick- laus, and one other golfer (Doug Sanders); in the process, he has PYramided a love of golf into some twenty corporations and a $10 million empire. Only five years ago, McCor- mack was a. bright, young attor- ney earning $6,000 a year with a Cleveland law firm. "I had been helping set up exhibitions for some of the pros on week- ends," says Yale Law School graduate McCormack, who had met most of the top golfers when he played in one U.S. Open and four U,S. Amateurs (he reached the fourth round in the 1958 Amateurs, has beaten both Palmer and Player in un- official matches). "The in 1960, Arnold (Palmer) e aeleed if I'd handle his financial affairs. The firm's partners didn't think it would work, but they were will- ing to let me sink or swim." McCormack learned to swim qu.cleiy, in the past, even tne top professionals received na more than $1,11J0 for eXhibi- tions and TV appearances and no more than a few hundred dollars and free samples. for en- dorsements; only the Sam Sneada and Ben Hogans, could a Hard the luxury of agents and managers. "There were a lot of people performing a lot of dif- ferent services for golfers," says McCormack. "One man would handle endorsements, anottser exhibitions, and another investments. I though one man could 'do a ,better job." When Palmer brilliantly came from behind to win the 1960 Masters, sports fans suddenly had a new heno, and McCormack had a gilt-edged property. With Palmer attracting new fans, thus helping to send the pro tour prize money. skyrocketing over $2 Million, this year, Mc- Cormack `has changed the, fin- ancial face of golf. Today, Pal- mer, Player, and Nicklaus com- mand $4,000 an exhibition (often get more with a share in the profits), $5,000 a TV appear- ance, and five-figure contracts for endorsements. Palmer is do- ing so well that his record $80,- 000 in winnings this year will amount to less than a fifth of his total 1962 earnings, What's more, he has peace of mind,: "Now I can play golf and know that Mark will take godd care of the finances." So far this year, McCormack has negotiated a series of 'con- tracts that guarantee Nicklaus an unprecedented $150,000 in his first year as a pro, put across a, six-figure television. deal for Palmer and Player, organized a six-figure Palmer miniature-golf company, and arranged to set up the Arnold Palmer Co., which in 1963 will begin merchandising a complete line of golf equip- ment and clothing. "The first time you meet him, Mark looks young and easygoing," says Jack. Harkins, president of a golf- equipment company and a direc- tor of the Arnold Palmer Co. "Then you sit down at a busi- ness table with him and he's suddenly the toughest Man in the wered. He thinks only of getting as much as possible for his clients." That tenacity doesn't hurt his income, either. In 1962, he will earn nearly $200,000 in manage- ment and legal fees, riot includ- ing corporate earnings, :McCormack has spent most of the last three years making himself a familiar figisre on the pro diratlit.

It migh have gone on for 48 days only the dark made someone suspicious. We also had* our code number altered the other day. When I started dialing for Esher a Voice interrupted be and said, "The code' number has been changed, please consult your new code sheet." Without thinking, I said "What new code sheet?" and the reply came remorselessly back, "The code number has been changed, please consult your new code sheet." This could have gone on for 48 days too. But I consult- ed my wife instead. She had not seen a new code sheet either. We hadn't got one. Some machine had forgotten to send it to us, A considerable correspondence on a similar subject was started in the London .Daily Telegraph the other day by A, E. Chester- ton of Pinner. His wife ordered some coke front the North Thames Gas Board, The board is represented in the order office by a machine called Renown 3388, A few days later Mr. Chesterton re- ceived a. post card from the Coke Department, Imperial House, Fulham, querying the type of coke that had been ordered, It was, of course, unsigned. To save time Mr. Chesterton telephoned the local gas board office, where there is no machine, He was told the type of coke he: had ordered did not exist. That was why the machine had quer- ied it. But Mr. Chesterton knew it did exist. So he telephoned perial House and demanded to speak to the Coke Department. He was referred to this machine, Renown 3388. He explained that he wished to reply to a post card. Imperial House insisted the reply must be given to the machine, which, as we know, did not be- lieve him. When Mr. Chesterton had tried again and again with-`' out success he once more tele- phoned the machine, He canceled his order, Some readers nevertheless lik- ed the machine. But Robert Ehrenstein wrote to confirm that whenever he too tried to speak to a gas board official, who might datiigtiff2B'etween scenes of "The Con. inned of Altai:id," Atademy Award winning direc- tor, Yitiatio De Sieo,'discusses' the interpretation of her tall *vith OtCat winner; Sophia Loren. They are on location in Pisa, answer a question, he was put on to the machine, which never will. And then Alasdair Alpin Mac- Gregor carried it further with a terrible story about a rain of garden seats, writes Sohn Allan May in the Christian Science Monitor. A friend of his ordered from a London store a garden seat, for which lie (the friend) paid. The seat was duly delivered. Four days later, while the friend and his (the friend's) wife were away from home, a second garden seat was delivered to them. The household help in all innocence, thinking the couple particularly liked garden seats, took delivery of it for them. So Alpin MacGre- gsr's friend telephoned to eels *he firm to remove the second seat. In 10 dayi 'time the firm did so, but in 12 days it sent him a bill for it. The friend ignored the bill. This, in the modern world, is rarely wise, The firm immedicte- ely delivered a third seat. Later of course it sent a third bill, Mr. MacGregor's friend — an inno- cent — also ignored that. So it will not surprise the reader that the friend very soon received a fourth seat. This time the friend was at home. He fought a successful bat- tle to get the men who brought the fourth seat to take it away again. They did not want to. Their order was to deliver it. But not being machines they found themselves able to agree to re- move it in the end. (The automa- tic process of course sent a fourth bill all the same.) "A weak later" Mr. MacGregor reports "there arrived by post a sheet of acracadabra so finely contrived by an autocratic ma- chine that my friend could not decipher it. So he wrote to the manager to inquire of him whether he regarded all this as a commendable example of modern business methods and, if so, how he thought we were likely to fare in the Common Market," I should say he was very lucky not to get another seat. That Common Market one is getting to be a dangerous crack. In this case, however, the manager took it with a smile (which, I may say, infuriated Mr, MacGregor's friend) and explained that the rain of seats was caused simply by "an excess of zeal" on the part of his staff. So that presumably it would augur well rather than ill for British participation in the Common Market. And this• may indeed be so. It is clear that in the above case "the staff" was a machine. And several Common Market count- ries are quite as advanced in au- tomation as is Britain, They are all equally capable of the same zeal. The trade figures therefore may be very greatly expanded, There' are often consolations to all these things, In my last flat it seemed that in some mysterious way I manufactured electricity in a tiny hall cupboard, I was al- ways getting rebates instead of bills, sometimes even quite sub- stantial Ones. The board would never take the money back, You can't argue with a machine, And that's the trouble, in most other cases. You ought to be able to argue with a Machine.

Which is- the proper pronuncia- tion—Arkansas or Arkansaw? As Wichitans know, this is not an idle- question. The wrong prono:unciatioh can get you os- tracized, or shot at, either here or in the Ozarks. But despite\ the venerable age of the dis- agreement, no one has ever set- tled the, matter.. There are many such strange pronunciations in the United States,, a mark of our hetero- geneous heritage,. Cairo, Ill,, is. pronounced Kay-ro; Ei Dorado, Kane is pronounced with a tong a in defiance of its ancestry; Pierre, SD., is' pronounced peer, a living rebuke to the French fur trader it is named after: the local pronounciation of Montevi- deo, Minn., would never be re- tognized by a Uruguayan. Most of these are acceptable, and present no problem. After all, how, many Egyptians visit Illinois, arid how many Latin Americans get as far north as Minnesota? Arkansas is a different matter, especially since so many now travel frequently between this area and the state of Arkansas. Clearly, neither side will aban- don its cherished tradition. Only one other solution is possible, Arkansas obviously is not pro- nounced Arkansaw by any twist of ethe language, The Ark- aneas legislature; therefore, must. legally change the spelling of , that state's name to , Arkansaw, and establish heavy fines and penalties against those who re- fuse to conform. Without such a-remedy, inter- state war is only a matter of time.— Wichita (Kan.,) Morning Eagle It'S much safer to drive if both' the weather and the driver ,are dry.
