According to Figures Compiled by an
AJSviHe GUfer.
AshevilhvJifc. I&—Four hundred mil
lion dollars is the estimated amount that
■will bf spent by American golfer* dur
ing the year, 1925, according to a com
pilation ol figures made by Henry West
all, a golf enthusiast of this city.
This sum includes the equipment used
I in play, the' construction of golf links
and club houses, and- the expenses inci
dental to the game. The expenditures
for golf balls alone, says Mr. Westall,
■will amount to $39,000,<100 while the I
matter M dues will cost players an esti
'mated amount of SKK>'M. >• M which is
the highest Hem on the list of expendi
tures. The next highest it>in is golf
apparel marked up for $p0,000,000. Pay
for caddies conies next, the bay carrying
tyiys receiving $40,000,000 all told dur
ing the coming year. .
“The average golfer will probably
spend in the neghborkood of SI,OOO a
year for his games and incidental ex
penses,” says Mr. Westall, "so that the
immense figures prepared would give a
total of 400.0000 golfers in the United
States. With the development of civic
links, on which the expenses are very
small, it can hardly be doubted that golf
ers in American will number 500,000
daring the year 1925."
These figures, which have been com
piled by experts in all lines concerned
with golf, are not extravagant, accord
ing to Mr. Wes tali who eites the tre
mendous extension of golf interest in the
South, and particularity Asheville, to
prove a sound basis for the calculations.
In Asheville, alone, he points out, there
.< are two 18-hole golf courses in play at
two clubs with a total membership of 700
and four more 18- hole coursees will be
in play by 1026. In addition every re
sort in the western Carolina mountains
have courses and all important cities in
the South have courses. It is added that
the rapid growth, of golf in other resort
sections is well, known. )
Other items in the compiled list aret
golf property, construction, chib salaries,
and golf resort hotels. $25,000,000 each:
Hub houses, $20.000,000; travel expenses
$20,000,0001 golf clubs $13,000,000;
grass, tobacco, club furniture 1 and comne
• nuimiient, each $5.000.000; lockers,
$3,000,000, and golf bags and beverages
/ $2,000,000.
“This stamps golf as the American
sgaine,” claims Mr. Westall. “In no
otitis reports can be found a half million
men and women actively engaged, or such
large sumes individually invested Plen
»tv of games draw larger attendance, but
■ the numjjer of participants is limited.
Certainly ; Scotland can - claim golf as
liVr own-no lopger and the ‘Royan.and
Ancient’ has become the modern game
of the people.”
Radiograms.
A poll is being taken by station
WSAI, Cincinnati, to determine what
the’ radio fans want on their programs.
To date the five •program leaders are:
popular songs 806. jazz orchestras 814. (
classical orchestras 675. sports 500 and '
theatrical productions 447.
Sheldon S- Heap, of Atlantic, Mass.,

around 100 meters. This is believed to
be the first two-way wireless telephone
communication between amateurs in
these countries.
WOOD, the Gold Medal station, of
Minneapolis and St. Paul, aims princi

of the country. liadio-broadcasting is
going to become an important factor in
determining the prosperity of the North
west. Pl-ofi C. M. Jnnsy, University of
Minnesota, believes.
A special committee to study the
nuestion of church broadcasting has
been appointed by the Federal Council
of stations, . their maintenance and . ex
tent broadcast are the prin
cipal subjects of consideration.
The new 80-kilowatt vacum tube
transmitter which the T T . S. .navy is
having made will allow a speed of 100
words per minute in telegraph code—
twice as fast as the average conver

duce interference.
JPewards For High-Minded Journalism.
( Adolph 8. Ochs, publisher of
New York Tiroes, is a man of action

Briefly mentioning his .own newspaper.
Mr. Ochs said it “is popularly regard
ed as one of the ''most successful news
papers in the world and one of the
most widely circulated.”
“Our greatest pride in this outstand
ing success.” he said, “is that we have
vindicated the newspaper reading pub
lic.; that we demonstrated there is a re
ward for honest, decent, dignified jour
nal ism.”
Tn newspaper advertising. Mr. Ochs
declared, “the highest order of journal
istic ability may be exercised.” He said
“you can more readily judge the
character of a newspaper by its adver
tising columns than by any other out
ward appearance.”

ESCAPED CONVICTS ARE
CAUGHT BY LONE COP
Three Armed Men From Georgia Cap
tured By Policeman Ed Daniels.
Statesville. Jan. 15.—Three men who
say they are escaped convicts from the
penitentiary at Bninbridge, Ga., were
arrested this morning by a local police
man, Ed Daniels, and placed in the
Iredell county jail- The three prisoners,
armed 'with pistols, who gave their
names a« Henry Story, J. H. Strickland
and T. M. Bryant, white, driving a
Ford roadster which carried two five
gallon cans on the rear, were approach
ed by the policeman Oil Broad street
near the Baptist chureh. The officer
suspected that the can contained block
ade liquor.
The men tried to avoid the officers by
speeding ovej- back streets and out of
town, but the alert cop following them
out on the Newton road in his high
power car and. failing to stop them
shot holes in three of their tires, and
had to run into their roadster before
bringing the speders to a standstill,
this being accomplished near Btwtian
bridge, three miles west of town.
The officer searched the men, found
two pistols on them, discovered that the
cans contained gas nnd oil and not
whisky, placed the men in his own car
anil brought them to jaii. After arriving
here it was found that, one of the prison
ers had a third pistol, a 44 Cold, and
the wonder is that they allowed the
line policeman to bring them in.
The men say that they escaped from
the Georgia prison on December 27 by
overpowering- guards and taking their
pistols away from them. They say they
are Henry Story, charged with billing
three negroes, T. "M. Bryant for the
murder of one negrd. and J. H. Strick
land. for a fisdeineanor. were serving
sentences carrying from a few months
to 16 years. It is expected that the
Georgia officers wiil com* for the
prisoners Saturday.
Tonight in - jail the prisoners, all
yrtung men ini their twenties, tell a
thrilling story of how they were tempt
ed to take the life of the policeman on
their return to Statesville and how they
made up their minds not to do it since
the officer treated (hem so nicely. “I
drew -my 44 Colt on him one time
while $ was riding in the back sent,”
said one of the men. “but my conscience
told me not toudo it.” “We could have
bumped him off and taken his car nnd
left,” he said, adding, “the good Lord
certainly was with the policeman.”
- Slanguage and Language.
Slang is perpetually changing, lan
guage much more lowly. The common
spoken language of any one period id.
as it were, the melting pot from which
the pure gold of its literary language is
distilled. The slang, having contributed;
its quota, dies, but the literary language
lives on. It has emerged from the
crucible pure coin for ever. Any great
language, such as ('reek or Latin, ft*
eternal, for in the hands of a master it
becomes a thing of power, a vehicle for
the living truth. And once that truth
has poured through it, it is immortal,
n Tadiant garment of thought, no longer
the tongue merely of merchants and
artisans, hot the speech of gods and
heroes.—Nineteenth Century.
