California ears have numbers AND letters on their license tags. We are reliably infbrmed a Pasadena undertaker, got up early in 1933 and received one of the first licenses issued. He put The number was "TJ-21" The annual mid-winter women's golf tournament opened at the Los Angeles golf club yesterday, and we motored over to look in on the qualifying round. . It was our first experience with a women's tournament, but we trust it won't be our last. Here is a big-time golf tournament after our own heart, and after the heart of all the other club" of which need we add, pion Dub I Tes indeedy how we longed to have Gene Thorndyke or that inaster of the sartorial left us to enjoy the thrilling and heart warming experience I The trouble with most golf and sang froid, with which the out their drives, and sink their course, but the general excellence of their execution and tech' nique DONT. As a result the inferiority complex of the observer, that instead of being en couraged to stick to the darn better drop it. Not so the women's tournament. We have never seen so many seven and eights so many three and four-putts in our quarter century of terrible golf. Nor so muoh nervousness, Of course this doesn't apply Hollins, Virginia Tan Wie, and the former Mrs. Pressler whose new .name we can't recall.) They knocked 'em around with as muoh aocuraoy and bored nonchalance, as so many Sarazens and Diegels. But most far from it and they had just as much fun and endured just as much mental and spiritual agony, as the charter members of the Medford 100 club. Our only regret was we hadn't donned a blonde wig, put on a divided skirt, and chiselled it or not, as far as golf is oonoerned, no one would have sub pected us. We could have three and four putted, taken three in a sand trap, and shanked our drives with the best of 'em. Nor do we believe anyone would gentleman anymore than anyone contestants being a lady. She was togged oat with a white be ret over short peroxide eurls, a buokskin vest over a crimson flannel shirt, and doe colored velvet trousers, flapping above No. 8 black and white sport shoes.. She smoked eigarets inces santly, lighting one with the other, and hanging all of them from one corner of her mouth, at a rakish angle ; and she had a stride far longer than the late Sir Henry Irving in King Richard the n. or was it Henry the VIHt Incidentally she shot 104 which she remarked to a group of girl admirers as she finished the 18th, "wasn't so hot, but was enough to qualify." '; We wonder for what 1 ; . . . Tea, we had a swell time. There was something so "in time" about the whole thing from first to last we felt so at home. And it all confirmed our oft-repeated assertion, that to see golf at its BEST, one must see it at its WORST, '. That is to say, those who only see, or only are, good golfers, don't realize the inexhaustible resouroes, the various and ex tended richness of the game. For real exoitement, intensity and enthusiasm, nothing oan compare with a contest among real, simon pure, duffers. True there is exoitement, intensity and enthusiasm in a contest of par shooters, but solely in the gallery. The players don't get excited, they are not intense, they never give way to outbursts of enthusiasm. If they did they wouldn't be par shooters. and how. They get a klok, one way or another, from the first tee to the last) For example: We are not going to mention any names of course, but the young lady in brown in fact a perfect sym phony in brown was jhort on her tee shot on the 17th hole just a good drive for the present writer 140 yards. Her pitch shot hit the top of the bunker, caromed to the left, struck a narrow patch of concrete walk, hopped onto the green and stopped within five feet of the hole. Tou should have seen her hop up and down with joy I She took great pains with her putt, knelt down, patted the turf ahead of the ball, removed one or two invisible objects, while her stanee and stroke made a perfeot slow-motion pioture. And plop, into the cup the ball dropped for a par 3. When she and her partner a very good looking girl in yellow and white had stopped hopping, the girl in brown put her arm around the ahoulder of her companion and gurgled in her right ear: "D'ye know, when I sink one like that, I jes' feel as if GOD'S ARM WAS AROUND ME I That was the way all around except of course when we joined the Hollins, Van Wie galleries. And speaking as a charter member of the Medford 100 club, that is the way golf should be, full of emotion, highs and lows, bumps and bursts, smiles and tears. These out and dried par shooters blah and also bah, no more kick to them, than to a turbine engine operating under glass in a Broadway ahow window. Speaking of the good looking girl in white here is another thing about, women's golf tournaments. Assuming this Los Angeles performance is typical, feminine golf skill is in inverse proportion to pulchritude. . The prettier the girl is the worse she plays golf and visa versa. We haven't forgotten the woman in dove colored pants, but she is only the exception that proves the rule. Taken by and large, if one wanted to see good golf yester day, all that one had to do was pick out those least likely to qualify as bathing beauties. The prettiest girl we observed and during the day we think we saw all of them, snapped a beautiful drive from the first tea over the bunker and well down the fair way Mr Goluwyn should have seen her smile and then proceeded to sm.other four in a row before she finally reached the green. Three putts mads an eight and oan you blame heir she CRIED. If you think that stretching a point, then you never have seen the qualifying round of a woman's golf tournament. There are probably no tears in the finals or the semi or quarter finals for that matter, good golfers don't cry. But in the first part-of the tourney there were more wet hankies yester day thaiTBt the first matinee of Cavalcade.

We trust this letter never gets back to Los Angeles at least not until this tournament is over for we would like to look in on it again. For once identified, he present writer's life wouldn't be worth thirty cents. And identification wouldn't be hard. For galleries don't attend qualifying rounds much, and when they do they only follow the well known players. There was a gallery of one lone man, following at least a dozen two-somes of also rans yesterday. He had a fine time, but when it was found he wasn't the "PA-PA" of one of the players, he was as welcome as a police dog at a fox farm. However, we might escape with twenty years. For didn't we tell the world, the worse they play the prettier they are! R. W. R.

This Is not a dis cussion r.. evolution. , It la talk about a subject, that Is perhaps talked about more than any other health subject, namely "the 0 o m m o n cold." Just what a "common cold" may be Is a ques tion for every one to answer to suit hie own peculiar notions. No health authority or medical au thority can be In veigled Into defining or descrlnblng, much less Identifying a case of "com mon cold." You Just have to take it for granted yours Is It until you find you've got something not contemplat ed In the provisional or tentative dlag. nosls of your Indisposition. By that time you'll be so busy battling what ever you've got that you'U quite for get to tesk the near-doctor with his error. Without admitting, that nobody knows what the alleged "common cold" Is, we have sent out several ex peditions In recent years In quest ot the nature and cause of the putative malady. One such Intensive research has Included observation of a group of chimpanzees. . Recently a laboratory worker, try ing to take cultures from the throats ot the chimpanzees encountered one snlmal that did not submit gracefully to the taking of the culture. The laboratory worker had to open the ape's mouth forolbly. As a rule work ers taking the cultures first carefully scrub their hands and then don a gauze mask, to guard against con tamination by their own noee or throst bacterial flora. But this time the worker's mask was not In place when the culture was obtained. How ever aU the chimpanzees and aU' the workers or attendants were in good health and had been free from any signs of crl. If you know what I mean; If you don't, call It colds, you dumb egg. The day after the little argument between ape and worker, the worker complained ot sneezing, lacrlmatlon, fullness In noee and throat and the second day she was suffering from what the putative medical authorities pronounced a typical severe common cold, which lasted two weeks. Oh, well. I was not there. Baron, so let It go. But now the plot thickens. It ap pears that two days after the set-to described the Intractable ape and a docile chimpanzee In the group show ed nasal discharge and obstruction and soras fever and passed through what these same medical authorltlea designated aa the typical stages or the common cold. No other Infec tions developed among the nine other apes In the group. In the opinion of the Baron I mean the medical experts on the Your Income Tax A aerlei of dally urtlclei bawd on revenue act of 10318 and designed to aid thoie required to file In come tax returns for year 1932 No. 9. Who Ii the Head of a Family? A taxpayer, though single, who support and maintains in one house hold one or more Individuals who are closely connected with ,hlm by blood relationship, relationship by marriage, or by adoption, and whose right to exercise family control and provide lor meao aepenaent indi viduals Is based upon some moral or lefral obligation, 1 the head of a family, and entitled to the same ex emption, allowed a married person 3500. Also he may claim a 9400 credit for each dependent. For ex ample, a widower who support la one household an aged mother and a daughter 17 years old la entitled to an exemption of $3,800 as the head of a family, plus a credit of $400 for each dependent, a total of $3,300. The $400 credit, however. does not apply to the wife or the husband of a taxpayer, though one may be totally dependent upon the other. Several factors are Involved In de termining whether a person who files a return aa the head of a family Is to be thus classified. The element of either legal or financial dependency must exist. A taxpayer who support In his home minor children over whom he exercises family control Is Classified aa the head of a family. even though the children may have an Income of their own sufficient for thslr maintenance. If he does not support them, by reason of their own Income, but doe exercise family control, be can not be classified aa the head of a family. If an tnvldtual supported la an adult and there rest upon the tax payer a moral or legal obligation to provide a home and care for such Individual, Vie exemption aa the V rlfteibkf"r niiIThi, laWfl7 head ot ft family la allowed, pro Brady. M D. ground the intractable ape was In fected by the laboratory worker who took the culture unmasked. That seems plausable enough, for we know that some of the specific respiratory infections, such as measles, scarlet fever, cerebro-eplnal meningitis, are contagious or communicable before the onset of actual Illness or definite symptoms. But how to account for the docile ape's crl? The docile one submitted to the taking of the weekly culture without any fuss, and the laboratory worker'e mask was In place when she took the culture. Bo the savants calmly Ignore the fact that the Intractable ape may have passed a sample of the Infection to the docile one. They hold rather that the gauze mask over nose and mouth Is not a complete protection against tha common cold. Well, It Is all pretty muddled, how ever you look at It. QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS. So-o-o-oh. Please tell me whst drug store sells the five per cent tincture of Iodine you recommend. I have, tried about a dozen and they all ask at least 30 cents for an ounce vial. Mrs. I. L. D. Answer I have never given any In formation about the price of tincture of lodln. Perhaps you saw something about a five per cent tincture of lodln. At present the drug stores fur nish a weaker tincture (3 per cent) or a stronger tincture (7 per cent) when you buy tincture of lodln. More economical to buy the stronger tinc ture (7 per cent) In a one ounce glass stoppered or hard rubber screw cap ped vial. For general use this may be mixed half and half with glycerin, and It will still be stronger than the 6 per cent tincture. We Can Only Gas. I am 40, have never been alck, spend most of my time outdoors winter and summer. This winter I have been playing cards once a week with three other men. To save 4ieat we play In the kitchen. All of us smoke. All the doors and windows are closed. Several times I have become feint and white around the gills after an hour and a half, so I had to stop and go out In the air to get over It. None of the other men are oifected . . . A. B. M. Answer Perhaps tobacco poisoning first or second hand, or carbon mo noxide gassing (some cargon monox ide In tobacco amoke). or possibly carbon monoxide gassing from the stove that beats the kitchen you being more sensitive to such mild poi soning than your companions. Blow. Buglerette, Blow. My daughter, 14 years of age, a Girl Scout, la Interested In bugle blow ing. Do you think this Is conducive to goiter? F. P. R. Answer No. I often wonder why the popular delusion persists that playing wind instruments tends to cause goiter. There Is no foundation for it. (Copyright, John F. Dllle Co.) vided the Individual Is financially dependent. If the Individual Is not financially dependent, the exemption, even though the taxpayer maintains the common home and furnishes the chief support, does not apply. For Income tax purposes there can be only one head of a family and the exemption can not be divided. Not Infrequently claims for the $3, 000 exemption are received from two or more member of a family. It should be remembered that a single person, whether or not the head of a family, is required to file a return If hla or her net Income for 1933 was $1,000 or more, regard leas of whether the return Is non taxable by reason of the $3,500 ex emption.
