FREAK GOLF SHOTS "The stranger to golf is frequently confused by the terns "birdie" and "eagle," which mean one and two strokes under par, respectively, for .a given hole, but thee records Iof the .game are filled with incidents in -which real' menl'bers of the feathered ;gentry have played strange parts. For instance, there is the tale of .,the crow who assisted Henry Moses •of Knoxville, Tenn., in making an .,eagle and eventually winning '•a. 36- hole match 1 up ,from lien Kohler at -the Holston Hills Country Club, near • Xnoxville, last year. Kohler's tee e,shot at the seventeenth was perfect, -out Moses' drive sailed into the -'rough and out of sight. While Alley were searching for it they saw a screw take off with ,the ball in its ]beak. It headed down the fairway and finally circling the hole, dropped it on the edge of the green. Moses' ,effort from there halted six 'inches from the cup, and he• had an eagle ?three on the par 5 hole. - • ?'mother play in which a crow fig - eared, btit not with such happy re - ':sults, occurred last July at the Sun- arehenna Club at Johnstown, Pas', ''where C. A. Sawade and Paul Brack- -en were playing a twosome. Sawade :stepped •ap to the thirteenth tee and .drove his ball about 200 yards and into the rough, near the fairway. His second shot was topped and the ball 'trickled into the path of the crow. The 'bird scooped it up in his mouth and sailed off with it. C. Adams, of Kokomo, Ind., •collected a pair of birdies on the par 'three eeventeent'h hole of .the Koko- e.mo Country Club three years ago, ^wham hie second shot fell among" a • tfloek of robins, dispatching one into bird heaven and sending ..the ball into the cup for a golfing bi-•die.An- eother Hoosier golfer, F. H. Morrison, -while driving at the La Porte, ^Country Club, sent his ball into the •anidst of a bunch of crows. killing one ,of them. The Eastlake course at. Atlanta, Ca., where Bobby Jones learned to • jplay, was thescene of another bird casualty, which incidentally was .avenged when the golfer making the ahot lost the hole as a result. He was a New Yorker, A. M. Squires. In attempting to carry a pond from the tenth tee, his ball was well on • the way when a flying jaybird col- lided with it in mid-air. The fallen ?flyer's body was recovered at the •4e ge of the water, but the ball was lost, and with it Squires' opportunity to win the hole. evixt x1+l a' a ail? e ' A mete colli aidreekais�erle� t� U a esttl' per+s s, to t'i1e Pers, as tried and 'acgn 'tt:ed3 lietaana, agai'p 't whom there ebvrall;.iller 'woe enough evidence to warrant 'trial. Another ,lile'gal batt eeatreMerly flourishing activity on the part, of American police is' that aj foxcang confessions. The British pollee, are forbidden to ask the direct question: "Are you guilty?" but the American police do not trouble about asking it. They merely keep casein- sisting upon a man's guilt, and` tell- ing him tat the sooner he confesses the easier it will be for him. In' the ',fifteen cities studied by the commission only three, Boston by long tradition; Philadelphia, in the past three years, and Cincinnati, still more recently, were able to show a total absence of brutal treatment of prisoners before their trial. 'In New York, 'Chicago and San Francisco vio- lence is habitual; in Cleveland, De• troit, Newark, Buffalo, Los Angeles, it is frequent or occessonal and in smaller cities like • Albany, -Denver and the like it is infrequent but like- ly to be' extreme when it does occur. In ,Seattle the effort to' beat or ahok ' confessions out of suspected persons begins in the streets with their ar- rests. By the time the prison's get as far as the police stations they know what awaits them and frequently make confessions' to escape punish- ment. These methods of torture vary from crude beatings with rubber ,hose which leaves no obvious bruises. and does not break the skin, to mental tor- ment, such as questioning suspects 'honer after hour by relays of detec- tives so that the want of sleep be- comes a -torment, and in the end any- thing is signed to end the agony. Of courseanone of these confessions is really valid: The law says that only voluntary confessions :are legal confessions. Again and again courts have thrown out . confessions when it has been shown they were obtained under pressure. We remember, in Toronto that Clara Ford, a negress accused of murder, was acquitted be: •rause the jurors were convinced that her confession had been obtained by the late Detective Reburn through endue pressure. So to protect them- selves against this blunder, the po- 'ice force the prisoners to add a line •leclaring 'that the confession was 'rade voluntarily. If not they will be 'zcaten until they do so. When con- fessions are repudiated the practice is for the police to .support each other in denying every statement of the ac- ct sed person. Now, confessions are not extorted in public. They are made not in the presence of a lawyer representing the accused. They aro the outcome of a private, session be- tween police officers and accused. If :.hese methods showed that the Am- erican police were 'slowly but surely overcoming ' American crime there might be' some reason -to tolerate ,hem. Their es ential usefulness and ricioueness .is described, by Attorney - General William D. Mitchell whe says:, "Nothing has a greater tendency to beget lawlessness than lawless methods of law enforcement." • Police Lawlessness A Begetter of Crime One of the most important investi- gations of the Wickersham Commis- sion was into lawlessness, pf law en- forcement; or in other words the il- legal means employed by police and magistrates to secure convictions or rid • communities of undesirable per- sons. This lawlessness includes un - •warranted arrests, illegal invasions of property, illegal detention of snspect- ted persons involving a violation of • habeas corpus, threate and torturings iby police officers and finally perjury ;by •the officials determined to punish ran accused person. In the Atlantic "Monthly Mr. Ernest Jerome Hopkins, .one of the—Wickersham investigators, dds'cusses the question at some length and shows a condition that, must be -alarming to decent Americans rather than English police method's appear to he establishing 'themselves in our lar- ger cities. However, shocking and brutal some ;police methods must be, one must in fairness admit that underlying -them is a rough philosophy accepted ley the police and not at first glance repugnant to the average man of de- cent tendencies. It was expressed by Police ,Comrnissioner'Austin J. Roche, -of Buffalo, who said: "My oath of ,office as a chief of police requires me to protect the community against crime. If I have toe violate my oath of office or violate the Constitution I'll rviolate the Constitution. Nobody thinks of hedging firemen about with a lot of restrictive laws that favor the fire, and the policemen and fire- men ought to be equally free." The fallacy here liest in the fact ,that ,fire is a chemical thing; crime is a Ina man condition. • There is the addi- tional incident, which ought te- be important to Americans, that no oath of office or any. other oath which is in violation of 'the 'Constitution of the United States has any validity: It has no more legal or moral sanc- tion that a pact sworn for their mu- tual protection among a gang of murderers. The IConstitutian of the United States as well as • the law of . all other civilized nations is founded on the rock that the protection of t 'e innocent is more important than the punishment of the guilty. The excuse of the police is, of • course, that the people wham they abuse and 'outrage are net innocent. But the figures on this' are sugges- tive. Mr. Rup'kiirs points out that about '46 of every 100 persons ar- rested are either discharged by the first- court of competent ju'tisdietion . that passes upon them or by the po- llee themselves. If they were inno- cent or rather if no evidence could 'be found against them, wily were they arrested?

"By _ means of photographs• P'rofes- ear Ritchie showed how the wasps. made use of wood fibres from paling posts or of maaberiel from new epapersr to manufacture the wasp paper which they laid down in layers upon the nest covering in such a way that the heat of the nest was retained by an insulating covering many layers thick. "At first, when the queen was the only builder, construction was slovrt�, less than two cells, a day.—but 'when many workers had hatched the speed increased, iso that when the nest was finally examined as niany as 145 cells were being constructed daily. "At the height of the season the duties laid upon the workers, which included excavating the ground floe the expansion of the nest, cell -build- ing, food -gathering, and the feeding of the yopng, 'brought about prema- ture old age and death. At the time the nest weal, examined the rate of hatching of workers was about 123 a day, and the rate of mortality about 85 a day. The life of a worker was limited during a the busy season to three or four weeks. "It was ea remarkable fact that these nsects, ill -adapted as they were for digging and removing soil, had excavated 3'80 cubic inches of earth far the nest space, and had re- moved all but the stones by way of the tunnel to some distance from the nest. The stones were allowed to fall to the bottom of the excavation, where they former a collection of rubble well suited to allow water to drain away and to keep the, nest -dry. "The whole story of the wasps' nest was a lesson in the power of in- dividuals, each of little account in itself, to carry out a great work by common help and co-operation." , Selecting the Layers To be able to select the best pullets for production purposes, it is import- ant to have the young chicks hatch- ed at that time of the year which will all!oev them, under proper manage- ment, to make a steady, vigorous, uni- form growth. It has been found at Nappan that the April hatched chick• ens are of more uniform quality by the middle of September than those of May. This period of time of six to six and one half months gives the birds a ch,ande to have size, o.vigor, body capacity and egg type. 'However, at present, there has not been a successful method worked out of selecting high and low producing pullets before they commence laying, but all birds of low vitality, crow headed, slow maturing and off type individuals, as well as those With breed disqualification's, are culled out. An individual, whose body is deep as measured from front of keel to the centre of the back; gradually tapering flat sides, wedge shape, back of good breadth carrying its widthl to the base of the tail; good width through- out the pelvic region and wide, full breast is one that possesses both ca- racity and egg type. Along with the proper body conformation, the type :Ind shape of the head has a very im- portantpart in selecting good layers. The pullet to select is one that has a. head that is clean cut, of medium length and depth, wide and flat, the width increasing uniformly from the 'attachment of the beak to a paint di- rectly behind the eye; the eye should be large, bright and prominent and the face smooth and lean, with skin fine in texture. By selecting birds showing a com- bination of the above characters, we have found at Nappan that we are able to pick a large percenlage of the pullets] that prove to be good layers. LINES MEMORIZED BY MANY METHODS There ars. more ways of learning lialogue for motion pictures than there are roads to Reno, and in Holly- wood more that 400 players stay hone each night to study their lines. Basic methods of learning lines are few, but all 'are Inedifie'd by personal habits. The year-round average is 40 photoplays in production at one time at all studios with an average of ten persons daily on each -picture in speak ing roles. Superstitions of the stage and in- dividual' peculiarities are manifest. Some literally sleep on their lines by placing the script of the play under the. sheets or pillow. Others read their lines; some never look at the printed words, but have a mem- ber of their family speak them to memorize aloud until their vocal or- gans hat✓e made a habit of the move- ments. Clive Brook learns his lines at home rhearsing with mernbers of his. fam- ily enacting the other roles. In this way he perfects his words. "Learning dialogue for motion pie - tures," the says, "is more difficult than learning stage lines. Th e reason is that on the stage you learn the action at the same time and associate the movements with cer- tain words and sentences.' In pic- tures you learn the dialogue and then report to the set, where you ,learn the `business' before the scene is filleted." •Marjorie Rambeau, who was a star on the stage for many years, practically learns her, part on the set. She found it 'necssary. to know what movements- went with the words to properly do both things. Yet she learned her lines so rapidly no delays were occasioned. Concentration is the keynote of Peggy Shannon's memory w o r k. With her copy of the script, she sits quietly. studying like a student cram- ming for .an examination. With the words and intonations down perfect- ly in her mind she rehearses them aloud on the set for thefirst time. Sleeping on the script is one of the aids used by John Wray. He does all his rehearsing in bed when he is ready to retire. Atter memorizing his lines and those oP the other players' in the scenes with him, he closes his eyes- and visualizes the scenes as he expects them to be played. na Underground Wasps' Nest Professor Ritchie, of Aberdeen Uiti- versity, gave an interesting lantern lecture to the 'Conference, of the Apis Club, attended by beekeepers from all over the world, in tpdhiche he described the building of an underground wasps' nest which he had investigat- ed. He said that, "the nest was eight inches in diameter, placed in a spher- ical hole underground, dug out by the wasps, and reached by a tunnel over a foots in length,. "The nest was examined in July when it was about three months old, and in that time over 4,000 cells had been built.,and were• -filled with eggs or young wasps.

The New Fall The Story of the Grape The grape is one of the oldest fruits known to Ivan and it is oneof the most healthful, wholesome and nutri- tious. Lt delights whether used as dessert, or prepared as jam, jelly, conserve or beverage. Records show that the grape was cultivated by the Ancients over five thousand years ago, and so Import- ant was it in national health a d na- tional economy that its ,introd onion was ascribed to a god. With thh-Rv mans this god was Bacchus, with the Greeks, Dionysus; with the .Egypt- ians it was Osiris; while the Hebrews ascribed its introduction to Noah. -W'henthe Norsemen first visited the North American continent over 1,000 year's ago, they found the grape grow- ing wild in "Vineland" as they named what we know as New England, while in more recent times a wide variety of species have been introduced from Europe. Grape production in Canada is rap- idly growing in importance both in Ontario and British 'Columbia. The varieties produced' include the blues ambers and whites.

No fruit is more healthful than the grape, which is rich in both minerals and sugar. Grapes furnish such alkaline salts as potash, lime, magnesia, iron, etc., which have a tonic effect, particular- ly for anyone subject to acidosis-; while the sugar they supply is a spe- cial kind so easily assimilated as to involve only a minimum of digestive effort. Those who suffer from anaemia, rheumatism, or digestive disorders, will find the use of grapes highly ben. eficiail in restoring the system to its normal functioning.

It was a blow to parties ,supported by millions of votes; it was to reduce the subsis- tence in millions of homes. Yet not a soldier was summoned' from the ' barracks. Something quite as drastie as anything Mussolini achieved in a single stroke was decided upon by a little group of gentlemen who chat- ted for a while with the King in Buckingham Palace whence he bad been summoned from Scotland.
