Travers, four times ama teur golf champion of America, writes a wonderfully Interesting article en titled, "Tho High Cost of Golfing." It contains more facts in regard to the financial aspect' of golf than have ever been collected befre. He says that about 130,000 aerea of land ar? dovoted to golf In the United States. He writes in part as follows: ''These 180,000 acres are with few exceptions close to some town or large etty and are all tho center or nopulnr residence neighborhoods. Thc moment a section of land ls staked orr for.a golf course, adjoining lots all take on greatly increased value. For the 100 'aerea necessary for Ute golf Club, of course, widely different pricea are charged, but it 1B safe to 'gay that the average acre on a golf couran la worth $600. Thia means a matter of $78,000,000 worth of real est?te tied up In golf, and another $20,000,000 tied up in club houses. ? "The purchase of golf territory and tho enormous amounts of money required to fix up and keep a course in * repair take most of the annual fund spent upon the game. For ex ample, two good courses in the east are Nassau and Englewood. The land on one cost $175,000 and on the other $165,000. Add to this the $50, 000 or ' $60,000 necessary to lay out and build up a course, and then fol lows the $10,000 a year needed tq keep the fairway and putting greene tn good condition for piay, and lt la easy, enough to see where the money foes. Many millions are spent each year In the upkeep, ot tb 1,300 cours a. "There may be more expensive put ting green somewhere around thc golfing landscape, but certainly one ot the most expensive ls that of tho third hole at the Crescent Athletic club course. Thia hole overlooks the bay and ia situated high upon the .bore drive, Long leland, lt is leas than 100 feet square, and yet $72,000 bes been offered for it So golfer? who top their approaches to thia green miss- a very rich landing place." e?00000000000000000 .

On thlB pagtj various mothers relate interesting and profitable experiences with their boys. One woman tells in part as follows how she Interested her boys In the study of the Investment of money: "When my three sons were come to an age when they were commencing to earn spending money, I put into practice a scheme I had long been formulating. Each boy was presented with an account book and told to con sider himself in possession of $10, 000. "ThlB imaginary money was to bo invested, on paper, as each saw flt, but detailed accounts were to be kept of purchases and sales, deductions ot brokers' commissions, and Interest "For the tlrBt few weeks after my announcement the conversation In our home was entirely of thc stock market, and the postman put in a daily appearance overburdened by prospectuses. "Our first quarterly meeting brought some Interesting things to light: Bob was overstocked with what I knew to be 'wild cats,' al though his faith In them was Implic it; John had proved a conservative, with nothing paying over five per cent, on his list; wherens MAX had several pages Ailed with often chang ed invetments. "The next meeting found Bob a bankrupt, with several assessments to meet; John had been caught on a down market, and in his apprehen sion had aold many of his best hold ings nt a loss; while Max had sud denly taken it into his volutile head to experiment with the 'put all your eggs into one basket, then watch that basket' idea. By common consent we voted Bob an imaginary $200 with which to begin all over again. "The boys gradually learned their own weaknesses in regard to some profitable conclusions. It was John who won the prise money. The other two boys congratulated him heartily, but Insisted on continuing to play the game on a revival 500 imaginary dollars each, since they found lt too good fun to abandon. "Twp years later, by strang coin cidence, the boya did come in for au inheritance of $10,000 apiece and time has proved, that, thanks to onr timely experiment they were well prepared to take care of lt."

A Woman's Bensons Against Further Armament. The American Magazine has been offering prizes for tho bast letters on the subject. "Shall We Arm?" The publishers announce that thc vote stands at *the ration jf four in favor of increased armament to Ave against lt. In the May number the prize winning letters are published. Fol lowing is an extract from a strong letter against armament, written by Mary S. Markham ot Sioux Falls, South Dakota: "Shall we arm? My answer ls in the eternal motherhood of all nations from an economic point of view. "For every man that lives a woman has gone through eight hours (I tako an average rate) of the most intenso and agonizing pain to bring bim into the world, spent sleepless months in care and nursing through tho days from babyhood to boyhood, helped and stood by him past the measles, mumps and broken bone age. till he becomes a 'big man' of 15 to 18 years, when he usually has passed the need of mother's care, and safely reaches maturity, 21 years, when he can vote and fight Uko a man. "For every 100 men shot down on the battlefield it means that 800 hours or 33 days of the most severe suffer ing has been passed through by wo men, just to bring them into the world. Fifteen centuries In time have been spent in constant care and devotion to bring those 100 men to the fighting age, to be sh >t down. This ls only 100 dead. "Shall we make ready to kill? Would tho economic manufacturer al low that much energy to be thrown away if he waa paying two dollars an eight-hour day for it? Rut that's loss of money! If suffering is not consid ered, perhaps dollars and cents may talk. Suppose for every man that la killed In battle, women were to de mand five dollars a 24-hour day for 15 years, or $27,375 for her work in giving them one man to kill: $27,375, 000 for 1,600 men killed in one day. Would they still go on killing If lt was paid in dollars? Would they Killi arm ready todkill? I wonder! Nearly $28.000,000 per thousand to kill them. 1 wonder! Would they? And that might bo for less than a day. Two hundred million dollars, perhaps a week. Would they still kill? Would they atlll arm ready to kill! I won der! Would they?"

In thc May American Magazine j Captain Granville Fortescue writes] an article entitled. "Battling for War saw." Il is an account of thc great I war on the eastern frontier of Ger- [ many.

And, believe me, this water wagon ikon' is no bluff. It IB harder to get a drink In Russia j today than lt is at Lake Mohonk. How wise was this edict of the ruler of| Russia is now shown in the condition of his army. Their fighting effective ness is higher than that of the French and fully equal to the English, meas ured by the physical fitness of the units composing the forces. On Ute other hand, the German soldiers near ly all carry flasks of vhiskcy or other spirits. Ivan the Siberian knows this, and I fear that the famous edict is sometimes broken ..-hen a batch of prisoners is gathered in. The flasks are certainly contraband of war."

It is expected that the president will re fer to the Lusitania, although not di vulging definitely thc course the Unit ed States will adopt. The president ls expected to present his ideas of what the United States policy should be when the cabinet meets tonv rrow. It is certain that he does not intend calling an extra ses sion of congress. This disposes for the present of tho suggestion that tho United States might be drawn into tho European war. Many officials believed that the United States' disapproval of Ger many's action will be expressed in a manner more effective than a decla ration of war. The withdrawal ot Ambassador Gerard without an actu al severance of diplomatic relations has been suggested, as an indlctalon of the feelings of the United States. Others suggest a completo severance of tho relations until Germany lias made complete reparation and an apol ogy. This probably would meet thq public opinion in America. It is expected that thc Uni sd States will send Germany a note, demanding reparation under the United States' warning that aho would hold Germany Btrictly accountable for the loss of American vessels and livtos. On Ger many's reply will depend the United States' next step. ?at Exposition o, Cal. 1915. MIA EXPOSITION go, Cal.
