GOLFSPECTORS
About the only sure method of getting prospectors
back into the field appears to be organizing everybody
into a golf club, laying out a section of hills for the course
and, handing them a packsack full of golf balls and a hod
o; o£ o; luaq; jp; ‘saip^nuo jpS jo pij
Who knows but that a hunt for a ball sliced or hooked
into the branky or rough might result in finding a mil
lion-dollar quartz ledge?
The more we consider this thing the more it appeals.
It not only would give exercise to the “tired business
man,” but appetites whereby their wives could feed them
scrap iron smothered in onions and receive a kiss of ap
proval and a new frock in appreciation. Then there are
the brown bears. No brownie dare stand in front of a bar
rage of golf balls showering down like Foche’s offensive
on the Marne. If this did not move him, profanity follow
ing a fozzle would so upset his esthetic feelings that he
would take to the tallest timber for refuge.
Of course trails would have to be cut whereby the
enthusiasts might find their way back home. Here the
caddies would take on the aspect of axemen, and as such
be protected against assault and batteiy in case the ball
failed to lie alongside a ledge running $1,000 to the ton.
It is a cinch that there would be no need for the Geo
logical Survey. After an army of golfspectors finished
combing the hills for lost balls, rustling sand for tees and
smoothing off approaches, if there was anything of value
it would be discovered.
One of the results of the depression in the States is
that people compelled to remain home instead of running
all over the country have discovered kids they did not
know they owned.
Now that society women have taken to milking cows
it is up to Congress to establish another bureau to direct
the ladies at what angle to aim the lacteal fluid to keep
from putting out the eyes of the remainder of the class.
When flights of grasshoppers overtook the great
Mormon trek from Norveau to Salt Lake City, instead of
being a tragedy it was a blessing. They captured and
ate them, having no other food.
Sourdough Bill says: “Reports say a stag in Ontario,
became so addicted to beer that he came across a bucket
of yellow paint, drank it and died. The last pail of yaller
paint I drank caused me to go out and pay six dollars I
didn’t owe.”
It develops that in one Alaskan town the superin
tendent of schools is a high school graduate and the jani
tor is a graduate of the University of Washington.
By this time many high steppers in the nation have
discovered that a Lady Luck is a coy vixen who has to be
wooed.

on Saturday, threaded their way
to the gigantic Olympic Stadium
just south of the business section.
One hundred and five-thousand
persons seemed destined to the,
privilege of witnessing the open
ing ceremony. Never in history
has such a crowd greeted such a
spectacle.
Vice President Charles Curtis,
representing^ President Hoover, of
ficially opened the games.
Dr. Sproul, president of the Uni
versity, made the dedication ad
dress; after the Olympic Games
oath, the program began.

JAPAN MAKES BID FOR j
THE ELEVENTH OLYMPIAD
LOS ANGELES, Aug., 1, — Brot
by five members of Tokyo’s muni
cipal assembly, the formal invita
tion of the Japanese city for the
1940 Olympic Games reached Los
Angeles.
Juji Kasai, spokesman for the
delegation, and a well-known writ

anniversary of the founding of the
Japanese Empire.

SHATTERED B. L F. TO
JOHNSTOWN, Pa-, Aug. 1, (/P)—
The foundation of another wide
semi-organization, to replace the
shattered bonus expeditionary
forces, was laid in Johntown while
ragged veterans trudged into the
city by hundreds amid the pro
tests of an aroused city.
More than 1,0000 tattered “mar
chers,” routed from Washington by '
regular army troops, slept beneath
the stars in Wooded Island Park
three miles out of the city, Satur
day.
And while they slept citizens [
congregated at a half-dozen mass- !
ed meetings, adopted resolutions j
denouncing Mayor Eddie McClos-j
key for having invited the army to |
Johnstown and laid plans to carry
their fight to high state officials.
Flowers made to order for all!,
occasions. Sylvia’s.
