You should have stayed in prison, ft would have saved you a long walk.*' So Bobby Cruickshank, once ama teur star of the Scotch links, went back to Great Britain, pretty much out ot shape. He had studied law, but he found the confinement of a law office irritating as the result of his war Injuries. So Cruickshank set off for Amer ica, where a good golfer can get *n open-air Job—teaching club members to play golf—at the expense of bis amateur standing. He served with the Shackamaxon, Oklahoma City, and Progress golf clubs.

China au<l the United States are just like two loving brothers ami each is going to see that his brother gets along in this big turbulent world. The United States wants to see China gain its independence and China —she alee snmee like us velly much. Such was the spirit of the love feast, which climaxed the 23rd annual convention of the On Leong Chinese Merchants’ Association in a two weeks' session here. The dinner was one of the most gorgeous given at a fashionable hotel here this season. Civic and political leaders in this city, who were guests of honor at the banquet, joined in lauding the Nation alists' move for independence. The speakers were confident that the pres ent movement in < Tiina would result in a well-defined, firm and well-organ ized republic. ■ • . Congressman Toastmaster Congressman L. C.

He woa four championships, the Los Angeles open, the Texas open, the South Celt. - tral open and the North and South open. v Today he’s the man to beat. He’d in great physical shape- His nerve —it did take nerve to get out of a German prison camp—always was ot the finest. He can taoo a scram* bling gallery, two down and three ts go, and play a perfect game. His next American appearance will be in the national open champion* ship to be held at the Oakmont - Country Club, near Pittsburgh, h| J une. His club, the Progress Country.

But Pansy just laughed me off kind of scornfully, saying 1 ought to know that she knew her oil and that there was exactly no chance of anybody putting over a swift one on her.
