NIGHT CLUBS PINE
AS LBN'S OWLS
BUNT HEW ROOSTS
LONDON, May 21, (/P)—Like
Arabs, London night clubs are
folding their tents and silently
stealing away.
Built on the business tenet of
“never give the sucker a break,”
the places flourished for a time,
but eventually the worm turned
from the chisel.
Two or three years ago the
clubs were packed and bills for
an evening’s entertainment at
many of the places and at tables
hit the three-figure mark in
pounds sterling. Not so today, for
the cheaper restaurants are “get
ting the play.”

GOLF LINKS BUSY j
The Seward golf course, recently .
laid out on the new aviation field,
has sen more action during the
past few days than the old course
during an entire season. Each
day Senator Hale and General
Seth Richardson are out there
with local enthusiasts, smacking
the balls. Both play an excellent
game; offhand, our money would
go on the Senator.
