THE SPORT OF KINGS

Golf enthusiasts from all sections - of the Maritimcs will be in Char- lottetown this week, when the Marl- time championship tournament is being staged at the Belvcdere links. To the visiting players a cordial wei- some ‘will be extended by all our citizens. It is hoped they will have an opportunity of seeing something of the summer beauty and uthrac- tiveness of other scctions of the Province during their visit, and that lbs tournament, however strongly contested, will not absorb all their interest and attention.

The Bclvedcre links are ideally situated for the garlic and it is most unlikely that occasion will Qvcr arise for a. decision such as was handed down recently in a New York State court. In the case in question v. golf ball travelling wild on the high- way crashed through the windshield of a passing automobile, injuring thc occupant with larokcn glass. She brought suit against the club and against the golfer, who it is alleged had sliced. The golfer in his de- fense claimed that the wind had carried the ball out of its course and therefore the accident was “an act cf God." The judge, however, com- pelled the golfcr to pay scvcn hund- red and fifty dollars zlanlliges.

In earlier times, golf was the sport of kings. Records show that James the Fourth of Scotland and the Earl of Bothwcll played a match in 1503 at the King's Field at Stirl- ing. The royal accounts cf that period reveal the fact that nine shillings had been spent On the monarchs clubs and lmils. The balls.

According to recently authenticated statistics, the past year's imports from Great Bri- tain were cf a value of $4,192,300, whilst Newfoundlsnds exports tc Britain were $9,491,661.

A young man wss having his eyes

_ examined by s physician, snd to the

* surprise of physician and patient

the eyes had improved considerably

since the examination one year , previous.

As his work and reading habits had not changed, the physician was at s. loss to account for the im- i provement until he asked some

questions.

“You ere feeling better physic- ally than you were a. year ago, are you not?"

Wes!" the patient answered, "l feel brighter and more like work, not so lazy as I was a year ago."

“Had any dental work done?"

“Yes, I had an X ray of my teeth and the dentist found three teeth that “were badly infected and re- moved them. I felt lazier than ever for a few weeks but I feel fine now."

This was the explanation of the improvement in the eyesight.

l‘ Dr. Wm. F. C. Steinbugler, tells | us 1n the New York State Journal of

Medicine that pyorrhoea, dental de-

cay, and root infection are frequent i causes of eye infection, and, in ad- ! dition to affecting the eyesight, set ' up local infiammations m and about

CA USE 0F INFLUENZA

Drs. Wilson Smith, Laidlaw and ‘Andrewes, pathologists for the Med- ical Research Council, Emgland. have been investigating the long- sought cause of influenza. They have published an article in the current “Lance? showing that a filtrate of throat washings from an influenza patient will, when injected into a iferret, produce a sharp fever sp- pnrently identical with human in- fluenza. Further, they are able to confirm the conclusion of Dr. Shope, the American pathologist who stud- led swine fever some years ago, that e filiereble virus is the prime Icause of the disease, both in pigs and in human beings. When the cause is definitely established, e method of treatment, by inoculation ‘or otherwise, will doubtless be de- ‘fviscd. The successful conclusion of ‘this piece of research, says the London Spectator, would be of in- calculable importance to mankind, for no disease has been more widely ‘spread or more impervious to treat- ment. We have fortunately had no serious epidemic in recent years, but it will be remembered that at the end of the War the whole world was stricken with s, peculiggly m. ulent form of influenza which, 1t u. ma, caused 15,000,000 ‘deaths. r1; would be comforting to know that the medical profession had remed- ies in advance with which to com- bat any recurrence cf the scourge.

No country, says thc London ‘Tmcs, can be expected to maize a. ‘sacrifice of itself for the sake of Lothers. It is doubtful indeed wheth- ,0; the world as a whole would not ‘lose rather than gain by any such Ysacrifice, since every country has its own contribution to make to llthe general prosperity, which can .only be a. valuable coniribut on if ‘it is prospcrous iisclf.

It is the first responsibility of n. ‘democratic state to provide the ;means whereby every child shall ‘have the omvcrtunity to acquire a iliberal education. In this connection ‘most people are inclined to believe iwith Bismarck that “the country (that has the schools has the fut- -urc." But these two affirmations of thc nccd lor the provision of Iwoper educational facilities must be quali- fied. The state must not spend more than it may afford, havng due regard to its other obligations, and educational services must be so organized that the greatest value is obtained from the money ex- pended. The effect of the existence of schools on a country's future de- pends entirely upon what is taught in them.

Whether anything can be found to replace the Versailles internat- lonal Fill remains to be seen. At the imoment thc most striking fact is plainly the strength of nationalism.

Sin-Public indignation over the manipulated increases in costs of electric lighting is st the boiling point. City Councillors, who are not primarily responsible for the im- position, are, it is said. so bombard- ed with complaints and protests as to make life unendurabie, with s move from their places of business to some country polnlt the only medium of escape.

Since my last letter I have con- tacted with other samples of this genius of making people rich by dipping deeper inf/c their pockets. Ths delusion bad the snare set to catch the unwary seems to be in the plastic charges for service which can be manipulated into e. simile of golden putty to fill in the crev- ices of monopoly greed.

Why should one consumer be salted in greater charges than his neighbor? One light bill before me reads: "27 K. W. $3.56" another “44 K. W. $3.56." Why should one consumer pay the slime for‘ 27 K.W. as his neighbor paid for the greater current of 44 K.W.- Another user consuming 2'! K.W. charged about a dollar less for the same service.

The light company plead the greater connected load as their ground for the higher charge. Hav- ing delivered the current to the meter where it is measured per

Mother Earth is 2,000,000,000 years old and men have lived in her lap for perhaps 200,000,000 years, but they have never really got used to her queer little ways in the mat- ter of latitudes and longtitudes and Great Circles and curvatures 811d foreshortenlngs and the rest. They will still find it puzzling to have General Balbo say, as he did last week, that he would fly to New- foundland and only then decide whether he would continue straight across to Ireland or by the Azores.

Hitler’s Ancestry

(St. John's Evening-Telegram)

A Viennese newspaper has made the statement that chancellor l-Lit- ler is of Jewish stock. This was discovered after consderable inves- tigation snd evidence that appears fully to shstantiate the statement has been published.

This fact proven, Herr Hitler would be placed in s. quandry. His

Jews from official positions would apply to himself. The propaganda agents would, no doubt, be requir- ed to work overtime in order to make it evident that even under such circumstances the country Willi‘! XIOt “Spence with his services,

Most of us still fail to see how the Lindberghs can be scouting out a short route to England by way of the North Pole approximately. At such times the careful geography drill of our school-days all goes 101' nothing. We forget that over there from New York straight east is not England but Madrid. The north- eastern tip of South America is ten degrees nearer to London's "ongltude than to New York's. London is as for north as Labrador or the south- ern tip of Hudson Bey. There must be people who know just how the new compensated commodity dollar will work who are still a little vague as to why it is now midwinlcr in Argentina.
