Star Golf Performers in Final Tilt

Chicago Girl Star Battles Defending Champ for Women’s Crown. PLAY 36-HOLE MATCH Windy City Player Is Slight Favorite. f BY DIXON STEWART ; (United Press Staff Correspondent) INDIAN HILL CLUB, WINNETKA, *lll., Aug. 18.—Virginia Wilson of the Onwentsia and Glenview Clubs of Chicago, met Mrs. Harry Pressler of Pasadena, Cal., here today in a thirty-six-hole match for the Western Women’s golf championship. Mrs. Pressler is making a gallant effort to retain the title she acquired last year at Lake Geneva and thus break a precedent of ten years’ standing. No western champion has held the championship for two successive years since Mrs. F. C. Letts of Chicago won in 1916 and 1917. Miss Wilson has never held a major golf championship, but frequently has been among the semifinalists and is well known as a “giant killer,” having eliminated many highly touted stars in tournament play. The dazzling golf which Miss Wilson has played throughout the present tournament made her the favorite in today’s match. The qualified with a 79, just two strokes above the medalist.

Race Driver Foils Death

.

Bii United Press . „ ALTOONA, Pa., Aug. 18.—Jimmy Gleason, one of the newer sensations in the realm of speed driving, Friday cheated death when his car smashed up on the Altoona Speedway. Gleason had an astonishing escape from injury and aside from a few minor bruises and a little shaking up was unharmed. His car was an utter wreck. Gleason, attempting to qualify for the 200-mile international sweepstakes on the Altoona track today, was whirling around the oval at a speed estimated to be better than 130 miles an hour. His car skidded on one of the turns and catapulted into the retaining fence. Gleason was one of the stars in the famous Indianapolis 500-mile classic last May 30 and won $5,600 in lap prize money. Gleason was conceded victory in the Indianapolis race within ten laps of the finish when his motor broke down and he was unable to finish the event.

The PASSING PROCESSION

News of the Week Boiled Down

THEY grew them big in the old days. How would you like to meet a 40,000-pound monster on the street some dark night—a living monster with tons of flesh and bones, but little brains? They had them that size 6,000,000 years ago. The Roy Chapman An-

drews expedition into Mongolia discovered the fossils of such an animal. a mammal, new to the scientific world. That announcement was one of the interesting bits of news this week. It illustrates how the old world does change. The biggest monsters we face today are such things as the demon rum (some tell us), prohibition and bootleg liquor (others tell us), the drug habit, war, hard times and unemployment. All of them things, except an occasional cyclone or earthquake, which are terrifying and destroying things arising from man and the society and mode of living he has devised. Nature isn’t a real monster of man any more. The things man himself have created are more devastating to him. But of course 6,000,000 years ago there was no man. Chapman reports he has found traces of man existing 150,000 years ago. Try to living 150,000 years ago. Imagine some of the events which made up the news of the world this week happening 150,000 years ago.

HOW WOULD GILDA FARE

How would Gilda Gray have gotten along 150,000 years ago. She, the world’s champion shimmy dancer, you know. Her husband, Gil Boag, is about to apply for a divorce. Boag has been her manager and under his exploitation she has won quite a name for shaking a wicked hip. Wonder if Gilda could charm a twenty-ton monster? Take the threatened strike of trainmen and conductors of western railroads. The 35,000 trainmen and conductors are taking a strike vote, the results of which are to be announced Sept. 2. If the strike comes it likely will have a serious effect on several million persons. Railroad officials said they offered the men 7.5 per cent wage increases if certain working rules were abolished and 6.5 per cent increases without changing the rules, but the men are said to want 10 and 18 per cent raises. And consider some more news of the week.

FASTER RUM CHASERS

Coast Guard officials ordered a number of speed boats capable of sixty miles afri hour which they hope will be too fast for the boats of Great Lakes rum runners. The guard boats will be about fifteen miles an hour faster than the booze smugglers’ craft and help to cut importation of alcoholic beverages from Canada, it is hoped. Mt. Vesuvius did a little erupting over in Italy. Liquid fire flowed from the volcano in twelve-foot streams. Floods in the Virginias, Carolinas and Georgia and a tropical storm drove hundreds from their homes and resulted in the death of twelve. Neither would have been a drop in the bucket compared to the excitement nature provided

BY 808 BATSIAN “

in those good old days 150,000 years ago. Thirteen miners were killed in a coal mine explosion at Coalport, Pa. All the bodies were mangled and the clothes burned off. Some 135 fortunate ones in the mine escaped.

LAWYERS IN MEXICO

Down in Mexico they tested the sanity of Jose De Leon who killed President-Elect Obregon a month ago. He is to go on trial in October. Most of us have imagined death was swifter in Mexico but it seems they have lawyers there too. Anna Taylor, pretty and only 25, killed herself in her New York apartment, evidently after rolling out a pair of dice to decide her fate. Some sort of a love affair seemed to have something to do with it. There was an uncompleted note mentioning ‘‘the sweet tortures of love.” A young woman, was shot and then burned to death on a northern Indiana road. Officials at first believed the girl was the sweetheart of a bandit in a Chicago bank holdup, killed because she knew too much, but doubt arose as to the identity of the murdered woman. Large crops have given lots of men work and there is less unemployment now than has been usual at this time of the year, The United States Employment Service reported.

AND MANY WANT IN

The Federal Government gives jobs to 1,791,816 people of the 118,000.000 in this country, officials estimated at Washington. And immigration officials reported 1,800,000 residents of other countries have signified their desire to immigrate into the United States. Each year the present immigration laws permit only 167,000 of that number to enter. Maj. Carlos Del Preta, one of the

Italian fliers who recently flew safely from Rome to Brazil, setting a world long distance flight record, died of injuries received when the trans-Atlantic plane crashed during a little exhibition flight near Rio de Janeiro. His companion on the Rome-Brazil flight, Maj. Arturo Farrarin also was injured. The flight of Bert Hassell and Parker D. Cramer from Rockford, 111., to Sweden, via Greenland and Iceland started. They flew from Rockford to Cochrane, Ontario, where weather postponed the hop on the second leg to Greenland. And last, but not least there was the political news. Discussions, pro and oon of Herbert Hoover’s acceptance speech, kept Republicans and Democrats busy. Most of the Republicans, as was to be expected, approved it heartily. Hoover also started his active campaigning, making speeches in six California towns and today was at full steam on an cctive campaigning tour through Ar.zona, New Mexico and Kansas,

The Whole World in Brief

SMITH READY TO TALK

Governor A1 Smith completed his acceptance speech which he will deliver Wednesday evening at Albany. The debate between Governor Smith and the Rev. John Roach Straton, New York Baptist preacher, who called A1 "the deadliest foe to the forces of moral progress in this country,” appears to have been definitely called off. Dr. Straton refused to debate in his church, which Smith insisted be the scene. Topeka, Kan., was all dressed up today in preparation for the notification this evening of Senator Charles Curtis that he Is the Republican candidate for Vice President. Senator Joseph T. Robinson, Democratic Vice President candidate, decided he will run under his nickname, Joe. Invitations to his notification at Hot Springs, Ark., Aug. 30, designated him as the Hon. Joe T. Robinson. The drys won a double victory in the Ohio primary to pick candidates for Governor of each party. Both Republicans and Democrats nominate drys. The wets were snowed under. Myers Cooper, Cincinnati business man, won the G. O. P. nomination and Congressman Martin L. Davey won the Democratic. SHAVES IN 27 SECONDS LILLE, France, Aug. 18.—Hubert Carre, a modern Figaro, claims to hold the world’s record for shaving. This barber’s assistant, before witnesses who swore to an affidavit, shaved himself in twenty-seven seconds. And he did not nick his chin once. Bursting Tire Breaks Window PLYMOUTH, Ind., Aug. 18.—An unusual accident occurred here when a bus tire blew out as the bus was passing the Gale Motor Company building. Reports said that when the tire blew out, one of the two tire clamps was hurled through a large plate glass window in the motor company show window.

U. S. DRY CHIEF TO LAUD LIQUOR LAWTOWORLD Doron to Speak in Belgium Before Anti-Alcohol Congress. By Times Special WASHINGTON, Aug. 17.—J. M. Doran, prohibition commissioner, will tell the 19th International Congress against Alcohol, meeting in Antwerp Monday, continuing all week, that prohibition has had a wholesome and beneficial effect upon America. Commissioner Doran and H. J. Anslinger, counsel for the State Department, have sailed for a month’s trip to Europe. They will' visit London, Paris and Antwefp and be back in Washington Labo/ day. The prohibition director will have a place on the convention program at Antwerp and, while declining to outline his speech, said that the tenor of it would be a thorough indorsement of prohibition. "The congress against alcoholism," he said, “is a meeting of Government officials, scientists, physicians, social workers and law enforcement agencies which considers alcohol and its effects upon every phase of human activity. It’s scope embraces the subject of liquor from its effect upon heredity to a consideration of the manner in which its traffic is handlel by practically every nation on earth.” In London the director and his companion will confer with British officials on the provisions of the treaty with England which govern the shipment of liquor. "These have worked out with great success and helpfulness to the United States,” said the commissioner. “I have no criticism of them and believe tha*t both governments have found them satisfactory. Under our treaty the two nations exchange information for the suppression of liquor smuggling and the observance of all shipping laws."
