COUNTRY CLUB OPENING HELD Meinbets of the Decatur Country . Club held an enjoyable opening of i the golf links, and a stag supper last > evening. The club tournament was I won by the "Nationals,” captained by Dr. E. (J. Coverdale, and immediately I after Hie tournument was over the I members enjoyed a meal in the bull room. Aftet supper, tulks were made by j Chttlmer Schafer, past president of tlie Country dull, and France Confer, chairman of the rules committee. Dr, E. G, Coverdale, president of the ' club, acted us toastmaster. Important matters of business were discussed, and the members present went on ’ t ecord as endorsing an assessment of $5 per member for 1928, to take care of all current expenses. Plans were made to entertain the I Bluffton Country Club golf team In this city on Wednesday, June 27. After the match with Bluffton is over, an informal supper will be served for all the players, and also any other membets caring to attend. Chalmer Potter was elected team captain for the year 1928, and a committee composed of Raymond Harting. Dr. Roy Archbold, and Bib Meibers were appointed to forward plans for the match. Year Books for 1928 were distribut- I ed to the members present. ■ o Almanacs Long in Use Almanacs date back to early civilization. It is known that the Greeks mid Romans had them. Some of the j oldest almanacs In existence were nub- , llshed during the Thirteenth and Four- ; teenth centuries. Purbach, the astronomer, Is said to have published the first printed almanac In 1450. — o Midget Bibles A Glasgow firm used to print many midget Bibles nt the end of the last century, and some of the specimens are very valuable. One of them had U'JO pages and 20 illustrations, yet measured but one and three-quarter Inches hy nne and a quarter. Inside the cover was a tiny magnifying glass for the benefit of renders. 1 —o Nothing in Bebief There is nothing whatever to sup port the idea that as the direction ot the wind Is on March 20-22 so It will be prevailingly during the next six months, exi.-pt perhaps In trade-wind regions, where the direction of the I wind is pretty much (lie same all the I time. And in such places one day is | i s good ns another ns a guide, since 1.11 are much alike ■—o Gigantic Book What Is said to he the largest book is In the British museum in London. It <s a gigantic atlas and was presented to King Cliarles 11, ruler of Englan 1 In I(»lo, by the merchants of Amsterdam. It was a memento of Cherles’ visit to tlie Netherlands aftet tlie fall ot British monarchy. o— Australia’s Area TT.e United States Is larger than Australia, hut If only land aera is consldeted, Australia Is slightly the larger. Australia’s area Is 2,974,581 square miles; the gross area of the United States Is 3.02G.789 square miles, but (he land area Is only 2.973,77(5 square miles.

Ah William T. Til<h-n and ills young Davis Cup play-mates draw near to Eurepean shot os, spcculat Lon arlsos as to the opponents they must defeat in tlie interzone final matches before facing the French in the challenge round at Paris. While the American team was ; romping through a series of matches against Mexico, China and Japan, play in the European zone was producing some bitter struggles. The Austiallans were knocked out in the Hist round by the Italians and there was keener competition all around than the tennis jdaylng nations of the Old World ever have put on in their quest for the famous trophy. At the moment, it appears likely I that the Italians will survive (he remaining European eliminations and meet the Americans in the inter-zone finals. Baron Italy's Ace Baron Di Morpurgo, ranking star of Italy, who was under susjtension by the Italian Lawn Tennis Association, was restored to good standing this spring. In Davis Cup ties thus far, he has swept everything before him and is regarded as the strongest singles player in Europe outside ol France. ( For companions on the Italian Davis Cup team, the Isiron has Guiglielmo de Stefani and Pietro Gaslini, who are ranked equally in second place in Italy. Gaslini Is Di Morpurgo’s partner in the doubles, while De Stefani plays No. 2 in the singles. The trio comprises not only by far the strongest tennis team Italy ever has produced but one which is quite likely to upset the best laid plans of W. T. Tilden for facing the French in July. None of the Italians can held his own with “Big Bill,” but it was demonstrated at Germantown last year that the tall Philadelphian no longer can win a Davis Cup tie ; single-handed. What, then, of Tilden's assistants’ ; Francis T. Hunter of New Rochelle. 1 who will join the American team in j Europe, may be selected by “Big ’

The first named failed at Paris, recently; the others are without experience in international play.
