MEDFORD MXIL- TliTBTJNTE, BEDFORD, OREGON, THURSDAY, JUNE 23, 1932. PAGE PT7E ELLON ENJOYS QUIET COMFORT AS AMBASSADOR LONDON (AP) Andrew W. Ms). Ion, new American ambassador to the Court of St. Junta, has settled dowa to quiet comfort In the em bassy home at Princes Gate, facing the green of Hyde park. Despite his 77 years, his health Is good and the rigors of an tin usually ill-tempered English spring have not disturbed him. With bis art collection, his son-in-law and daughter, Mr, and Mrs. David K. E. Bruce, Ambassador Mellon finds the London he has Vinown for BO years much like home. f He was busy, but perhaps a iit tle lonely, in the big official resi dence until Mrs. Bruce arrived. A staff of 18 servants was on duty when he got here. He brought his own valet and chef. Simplicity and quiet dignity char acterize the days st the embassy home. British newspapers Insist ed on heralding the return of lav ish social affslrs, as in the days of the late Whltelaw Held. Mr. Mellon is disappointing them. Even the serving of wine wlU be chiefly a diplomatic ceremonial, although the ambassador Is a clearcut "wet" on the embassy liquor issue. The new ambassador's recreation has been arranging the paintings he brought from Washington. The wails of the large reception rooms have been done over from white to soft grey to make a. suitable background. , Only paintings on canvas were brought to London. Those backed by wood panels and likely to warp In the damp climate were left In America. The ballroom has been hung with ) English works, Osinsboroughs nd komnevs; the library with Dutch pictures. Including Mr. Mellon's Rembrandta. His precious Spanish Govs has a special hanging. The ambassador spends his eve nings mostly at home. Theaters and concerts haven't attracted Mm as yet. He hasn't made definite plans for the summer, but he may take a country place. It's one of the things to do In England. JAPANESE SLAY GE1APEST PEIPINO, China, June 23.

DANGER OF FEUD AVOIDED BY MILD WHITE SOX FINES .CLEVELAND. (AP) Perhaps an other famous baseball feud, such as the Ban Johnson-Comiskey affair has been averted. It looked like the makings of a first class row when four Chicago White Box players engaged in an un-der-the-bleachers brawl with Umpire Ooerge Moriarty la Cleveland. William Harridge, as president of the league, came from Chicago to lavestigate. With a rule rwrmlfcHne, b-mr- suspension to almost halt the Chi- vosw team on cjuo nouse walls, it wss recalled how the late Ban John son, then league head, incurred the lasting enmity of the late Charles Comlskey, White Sox owner, over an adverse ruling in awarding of a play er. Would the new league head have a "run In" with the new White Sox owner, Louis Comlskey, son of the "Old Romas"? The elder Comlskey wss a friend of Harridge. But so was he a friend of Johnson until the two had their dif ference. But It all blew over when Harridge assessed fines unon Umnw r Fonseca, Coach John Butler, Pitcher Miuon uaston and Catchers Charles Berry and Frank Qrube, with brief suspensions to Gaston and Butler.

OLF O.B. 1 KEELERJ Golfing history has it that "par" was invented on Scotland the nlgnt nefor the British open champion ship of 1870. i All hand leaping systems since then,; so far as X know, have been based on, the discrepancy between a player's best rounds on & course, averaged.1 and either par or "bogey" of that1 course; a- hypothetical figure not quite as good as par; about what a good, substantial golfer is expects to score. 1 That is, alt systems were so based until Mr. Max Behr a couple or three years ago tried out another Idea at the lakeside club near Los Angeles, In which Bobby Jonee became inter ested last spring. The Atlanta Golf Association lately has recommended It to the member clubs, most of which now art trying St out. The old system, based as It was on the average of completed rounds or proficiency at medal scoring always has been unsatisfactory in match competition which constitutes the majority of play in club member ships. It Is well known that most golfers play the majority of a round with a fair consistency and run their scores up on two or three or four holes. i The new plan takes cognizance of, this, just as, under the old system, a player was allowed only a fraction of his full margin of handicap in a1 match. Shows Strength Match Aa in the old system, a specified number of "best" cards la required of a club player but where, in the old plan, these "best" total scores were averaged, and the par of the course deducted, the result being hit handicap, in the new plan the mem ber's pisy against par Is the factor, or against an arbitrary "bogey. Either method works out to the same result mathematically. In the par method, a player re ceives a credit of one point for every hole played in par, and two points for every birdie. On a par 72 course, for instance, if he does 12 holes in par, with no birdies, his handicap based on that round would be 13 de ducted from 18, which is 6, no mat ter If he collected a couple of 8 a and a 7 or two in the other holes. This handicap represent accu rately Hie player's force In match, If he doea all 18 holes ta par he la & scratch competitor. If he does six holes in par one birdte, and the oth ers all above par, his handicap is 18 minus 8, or 10 strokes. How Bogey Work In the other method, suggested as suitable for clubs with all kinds of players, bogey is a stroke above par on each hole. The member get one credit for every hole dona la bogey. two credits for a birdie (a stroke un der bogey), and the total of credits is deducted from 38. This works out Just the same for the good player, who of course turns In card with a lot of two-point bttdiea along with his bogey scores. A sample card of a hypothetical course, played by a reasonably capa ble golfer, and showing the bogey system, is appended: Hole Distance.

A marvelous new testing machine, recently devel oped, scientifically proves that these blades have never before been approached in keenness, We cannot discuss the nature or details of this machine because it is being patented. But we can tell you that it meas ure microscopic dimen sions with unfailing accuracy revealing with mathematie exact ness, actual degrees of razor-blade sharpness. So when we state that today's Gillette blades are the sharpest we have ever made we are bas ing our assertion upon The Gillette Blue Super-Blade Use $2 Kroman De Ltae blade has been withdrawn horn production.

Gillette has achieved the solution of this prob lem in the manufacture of its slotted blades. These blades are made by a special tem pering process that makes the edges exceptiot ally hard, while the center, of a different temper, fieses easily.
