• AMERICAN EXAMPLE
LEADS BRITISH GOLF
FROM BOGEY TO PAR
LONDON, Apr. 14.—British golf
clubs have begun to adopt par as
the standard of their courses, instead
of the ancient but easier goal known
as bogey. In most cases the bogey
figures for 18 holes are six strokes
higher, and that much easier to at
tain, than par.
So far only a few clubs have adopt
ed the severer standard, long since
universal in America. Most of the
courses that have broken away from
bogey are in the London district. To
make the change nation-wide will
perhaps require several years, for
the Briton has an ingrained aversion
to giving up his accustomed ways,
whether in business or pleasure. Un
til now the general run of British
golfers have always played “against
bogey” in their medal competitions,
“Because many a
day's work
was spoiled for me
by sour stomach—
biliousness, constipation—
and because 1 had
such good results
from
Chamberlain's Tablets
I now
carry them always
in my vest pocket."

and their handicaps are all based
on that standard. For the vast ma
jority of players it is, and always will
be, more fun to think 78 is a per
fect card, than to be told that a
total of more than 72 or 73 strokes
confesses a flaw somewhere in one’s
play.
From first-class players, bogey fig
ures have seldom demanded brilli
ance. To attain them merely de
mands, in most cases, steady, un
faltering play. Even those who can
hit a golf ball only a moderate dis
tance can do a course in bogey if
they keep a straight line and stay
out of trouble and, of course, have
a bit of luck.
But with par 4’s asked for on holes
from 400 to 445 yards in length, in
stead of bogey 5’s, only those who
can get long and accurate carries
with driver and brassie are likely
to experience, with any frequency,
the achievement of the goal of the
game.
The change from bogey to par
which has set in among British golf
ers is, to a great extent, attributable
to American influence. Three of the
last four British open championships
been won by Americans, who have
trained themselves to play against
the more exacting standards prevail
ing on the other side of the Atlan
tic.
But, more influential than the ac
complishments of American profes
sionals upon the British godfing mind,
have been the reports from across
the Atlantic, describing how an ama
teur, Bobby Jones, has schooled him
self to play “against par,” instead of
merely against the strokes of an op
ponent, even in match play.

Coast Guard Vessel to Hold
Titanic Memorial Service
WASHINGTON, D. Apr. 14.—
A memorial ceremony on the spot
where the Titanic was sunk by an
iceberg will be observed April 14,
the date of the disaster, by the
coast guard service.
It is planned to hold the ceremony
which has become a tradition in the
coast guard, as near as possible at
the exafet location and the exact
hour that the Titanic went down,
north latitude 41.46 and west longi
tude 50.14 west, in the early hours
of April 14, 1912.
Full military honors will be paid
to those who lost their lives. The
coast guard vessels Modoc and Tam
pa will be on the international ice
patrol this year, and whichever ves
sel is nearest the scene of the dis
aster will perform the service. There
will be a muster of the crew in full
dress, prayers by the commanding
officer, the sounding of taps, and
the firing of three volleys. The flag
of the vessel will be at half mast
with the church flag, the only one
allowed to fly over the American
emblem, above it.
Nations Exchange Notes
On Medical Aeronautics
WASHINGTON, D. C., Apr. 13.—
Four new specially-designed army
ambulance airplanes soon will be
placed in commission, if tests now
in process prove satisfactory. One
of the selected models has been re
! ceived at McCook Field, Dayton, O.,
and is being put thru its paces. Pre
liminary reports indicate that it will
measure up to requirements.
The new plane is capable of flying
100 miles an hour and has accom
modations for two4 patients, the pilot
and a flight surgeon.
While the army jealously guards
structural secrets of its other air
craft, it makes available to other na
tions information regarding ambu
lance airplanes. England, France and
Sweden have in turn supplied the
American government with informa
tion regarding medical aeronautics.
Homing Airmen to be Guided
Through Fog by Electricity
LONDON, Apr. 13.—An electric
current is to be used shortly to guide
pilots through the fogs of England
in safety to the airdrome below
them.
The landing space is encircled by a
cable, just under the surface of the
ground, charged with an alternat
ing current which creates a mag
netic field. The presence of this field
is detected by instruments carried
on the plane, and, according to Sir
Philip Sassoon, under secretary for
air, no matter how dark the night
or how thick the fog, the pilot will
know when he is over the landing
stage.
Advice for a Wife in Japan
TOKIO, Japan, Apr, 13.—A letter
picked up on the beach near Kama
kura and handed to the police con
tained these injunctions from a jeal
ous naval officer to his wife:
“Never converse with the postman
or the tradesmen. Have the news
paper and letters delivered thru the
slit in the door. Don’t go to ire
public bath at night.”
Air Pilots Encounter Few
Birds At 1,000 foot Level
HANOVER, Apr. 14.—Airplanes
have served to give the world some
definite knowledge of the habits of
birds, in their air, according to Hugo
Weigold, of the local provincial mus
eum, and this has corrected a num
ber of previous misconceptions.
No air pilot ever has reported birds
higher than 12,000 feet, and most of
them do not rise more than 1,000
feet in the air. The blue throat,
once credited with a wing speed
of 200 miles an hour, cannot ac
tually do better than 25 miles, ac
cording to air pilots interested in
ornithology.
One trouble with bird study from
airplanes is that the machines can
not go slow enough.
WASHINGTON TO VIEW
DESIGNS DRAWN FOR
ROOSEVELT CENOTAPH
NEW YORK, Apr. 13.—The com
petition for the national monument
to Theodore Rosevelt in the city of
Washington was launched today, ac
cording to an announcement made
by James R. Garfield, president of the
Rosevelt Memorial Association. It
4s being held to select a designer
rather than a design, and the trus
tees of the association have agreed
to commission the winner to make
the definite plans for the monu
ment. Eight architects, six sculp
tors and four landscape designers, all
of prominence in their respective
fields, have been invited to compete.
The site of the monument is in
Potomac Park, south of the White
House, and not far from the Wash
ington monument and the Lincoln
Memorial. A session giving the as
sociation permission to hold a com
petition with this site as a basis.
The competition will close October
1, and the jury, consisting of three
eminent artists to be selected later,
will anounce its finding Oct. 10. The
designs submitted will be hung for
the inspection of the jury in the Cor
coran Gallery of Art in Washington.
“The determination of the Roose
velt Memorial Association to create
in the city of Washington a monu
mental memorial which shall ade
quately commemorate the character
and significance of Theodore Roose
velt,” writes Milton C. Medary, jr.,
the association’s professional advis
er, “would of itself challenge the
best expression of the arts and crafts
in the Tjnited States. The site se
lected, however, greatly magnifies
this challenge and places upon the
designers of the memorial the weigh
ty responsibility of solving a many
sided and complex problem of the
first magnitude, permanently estab
| lisulng the only remaining cardinal
point of the great central composi
tion aicund which the capital of the
United States is developing.
“It is the desire of the association,”
the program lor the compelii !ou
states, “to leave each competitor as
free as possible to submit his own
conception of what the memorial
should be within the limitations im
• -
posed by the general conditions. It
may range from a frank acceptance
of the traffic conditions as a part
of the treatment, creating a condi
lion similar to the Piazza del pop
olo in Rome, with the memorial it
self an integral part of the busy life
revolving about it, or it may he con
ceiv.ed to exclude all relationship
to this traffic in self-contained sur
roundings, separated entirely from
the continuation of the axis to the
river.”

AN EMPIRE BUILDER
As all railroads in years gone by have been the greatest
contributing factors in development of the regions through
which they passed, so also is THE ALASKA RAILROAD each
day accomplishing much towards the building of an empire.
In place of the old, tremendously expensive and inconve
nient methods of transporting supplies of whatever character
over rough trails from the coast, there is now a modern rail
road that carries supplies and equipment in greater quantities
to and from the Interior, and along the way, in much less
time and at far less expense than was formerly required.
This great steel highway offering regular twice weekly
freight and passenger service between Seward, Anchorage
and Fairbanks; and tri-weekly mixed service over the
Chickaloon and Chatanika branches, is at your service. For
further information write
