In the wake of recent newspaper discussions by Knglish golf ers on tlio wisdom of players in the United States abolishing the Btyniie, the press Is now publishing contributed letters on the advisability of the ball layored as "standurd" by -.American devotees of the game. Standardization was decided upon at a meeting here last year of the rules committee of the Hoyal and Ancient Club of St. Andrews with delegates from the United Slates and Western (Jolt associations. It was voted that, beglmilng May 1, 1921, a ball used ill a tournament play miiHt not weigh more than 1.C2 ounces, nor have a diameter of less than 1.02 Inches. The effect of the riling was to re tain the size of the small, heavy ball popular In Kngland, but to reduce the weight slightly. It rendered what is known in the United States as the "30" eligible to competition but burred the 31-pennywelghts ball used in Kngland. English players had used nothing be tween the 29 and 31-penny weights balls in their home play. In a letter to the Times, Oeorgi Duncan, of Hanger Hill, liritlsh open champion, records bis sal Infliction with the lighter ball and predicts better championship figures as a result. "I am glad that the ball ls to be lighter," writes Duncan, "as tho gumc , will be easier to play for every one, in' 'that tho 'allalr-roiitb'-t-tho correct " way to the green will not be so diffi cult ini with the heavy ball. I will rlBk ' n prophocy and say that tho cliunipion .Klilp figures of 1921 will he bcttef than 'illoso'of r.120, or of any previous year. Not because tho hall will go farther than it did, but for tho reason that the lighter hall will bo much more easily controlled." -The Foreign Missionary society met last Fridny at tho home of Mrs. S.

The Amalgamated Clothing-Workers of America declare the situation in the men's garment shops to be a lockout; manufacturers call it a strike. It fol lowed the announcement on Dec.

Fourteen marines from the American legation guard are serv ing as engineers and assistant engi neers on the road construction work which is being done in the famine dis trict by the American Hed Cross for the purpose of affording occupation for destitute Chinese. They are vol unteers who willingly gave up a com fortable station In Poking for a tomt tiorary life of considerable hardship in n dreary country, and have tuken hold with true American spirit. The work entails, on the part of the American division engineers, days on end-In the saddle lnoving from one end of the division to the other . and with none too comfortable living quartet's and one of the men writes buck to his mates that after the day's work he "goes to bed to keep warm." The road under construction extends from Tehchow, Shantung, to Lintsing, fiS miles southwest on the Grand canal. It Is divided into three divisions of about equal lengths and each division is in charge of an engineer and one or two assistants. Captain Lawrence Irniwiy, of the British army,' who was englneer-in-chief, fell a victim to Influ enza and Lieut. E. O. Hogert was plac ed in temporary charge of the "whole work. Commenting upon the. service of the marines, Hogert writes: "If all divisions could continue to be handled by marines in tho same way as they have been handled to date, it would be greatly to the credit of the American guard." (It appears that some technical objection lias arisen with respect to further employment of 'tho marines In tho work lu question.) Incidentally It is reported that dogs such as have escaped tho stew-pot havo become in their famished condi tion as savage as wolves. This is borne out by a line in a letter from Llouten ant Bogert which says: "Was attacked by dogs at K'u Shui P'u and had to shoot one." He also states that their work is hampered by peoplo removing the stakes which mark the right-of-way for use as fire wood. llogert recommends that the present force of marines he retained on the construction work, botli because of (he credit accruing to the legation guard and because tho Hed Cross has great need of them, since foreign volunteers are scarce. Coal tar, prior to Its use in making annline dyes, was regarded as a trou blesome and almost worthless by-product of gas manufacture. BERLIN American Lutherans have just completed a year of relief work In Poland, designed to help Poles to help themselves, which is highly gratifying to Dr. John Alfrei .Morehead, Euro pean commissioner of the National Lutheran Council or America, who has Just- finished an inspection tour of Poland. "With $250,000 which we loaned to Polish formers, and did not give to them, we have enabled the agricultur ists in nearly DUO villages, with a total population of probably 400,000. to erect temporary homes, restore their farms and become self-sustaining," said 'Dr. Moorhead. "I have just visited : the section to which the loans were made. The farmers have paid four percent interest on the small loans, as they agreed, and in some cases they have even paid off the principal in a single year." , The villages aided by the American Lutherans are chiefly In the vicinity of Lublin and Cholm, where Dr. Moor head found the population living in cellurs and shacks In the fall of 1919. The-country-had been laid waste by O'eais of fighting. It was a land of small farmers having tracts of lands varying from five to '10 acres, but with little machinery, no stables, no houses, no animals-und no. seed. When the farmers asked Dr. .Moor head for food and clothing he called together local committees and told them he would rather tielp the com munities re-establish themselves on a permanent baslB than grant temporary, relief which would only hotter their situation lor a short tluio. . Loan banks were established in each of the vil lages under the- direction of locul com mittees. An agreement was reached with tho government Vhereby the Im poverished small landowners wero to have timber at a nominal price and small loans, seldom exceeding (200 to a family secured on real estate mort gages, were made for the purchase of necessary food, implements, cows, horses and seed.
