If you enter the estate by motor the 1st thing that attracts your tension is the driveway which wc rent out in the Spring as a practice grounds for steeple Jacks. This driveway is aptly nicknamed Death mountain on acct. of how many engines has been killed- trying to get up it. Once up the driveway, which is hardly ever the 1st time, you come to the parking space which is also used as a outdoor sleeping porch for the kiddies bicycle.

Having stepped out of your costly motor onto the bicycles, the client next limps to the 3 family garage where adjoining stalls is shared by a unpaid for touring car, the first sedan and a cow with a Jersey license. Students of dead languages will be interested lrr the mysterious signs Infesting the walls such as Please no smoke and Bill Lardner is a 1.

The man that begun work, on this court quit whenBie was awarded the contract for the Brooklyn Bridge, since then many different experts has took a hand in the construction retiring on a pension when old age claimed its own. Great Neckers who likes to boast of their long residents In this wonder city Is frequently heard exclaiming why I remember when Lardners started their tennis court.

All and all It Is said that enough clay has been put on the court and took off again to make full length statues of over the former Follies girls that has married Tale men. Inside the house the customer is first escorted down in the basement where he may see a ton of real coal and a empty pt. bottle that says Schlitz on It. A couple minutes glance at these gruesome objects is genally always enough and the visitor is glad to mount again to the ground floor where he enters the dining rm. where they's a spot on the rug which has been identified as part of the gravy served the day Garfield was assassinated.

Opening the door of the clock one observes a doughnut fried by the next to the last Japanese that left us and is now used as one of the weights for the clock.

The light bulbs in the living rm. is another point which can't fall to avoke squawks of delight from lovers of the antique. But the prize relic of the lot Is found on a table in the hall and is a first edition of the N. T. city tele- doesn't make any difference.

Which is her way of telling that there is many a star out of a job these day- Over in New York Miss Everett runs a Russian tea room at the Neighborhood Playhouse, down In the Ghetto, which has become a rendezvous for theatrical furnishers In the country to fit it out. Some may like It, but I don't, i'm a member of one club which has just put $250,000 Into a house, and it isn't finished, at that.

I don't think It will stand comparison with our little inexpensive clubhouse here." The house is certainly a gem of good taste. The plain wooden walls and light-timbered roof of the great main hall are done in a pale antique gray. The floor, unpolished, is generously but not wholly covered by homespun -or pulled rugs. Old colored prints hang upon the walls. A stone mantel above a Are place that fills most of one end of the room supports nothing but an old-fashioned paint-front clock.

Mr Gray pointed but the clock with some pride. "Last year," he explained, "one of our visitors was so delighted with this big room that he wanted to do something for it. He said he'd like to make the club a It was sugested that he might buy a clock. 'Just as soon as I get back to said he, 'I'll buy as tine a clock as you will 'IBut I told him that we would much rather do the buying ourselves, so wc would be sure the clock was in harmony with the rest of the furnishings.

"Several of them were given to us by the carpenters who built the clubhouse," he explained. "Belonged to their grandmothers or aunts or something of that sort. But aren't they great A wonderful lot they ar4 too, with high backs and low backs and curved backs and straight. Most of them are entirely destitute of finish, and worn down to the plain wood.

"Well, perhaps we can tune it, and perhaps we can't. I had another one here that was beyond hope. But I guess if we put a couple of bass drums in the orchestra they can drown out any trouble from this one." A spinning wheel here, a "what-not" there, an old ship model over across. A Beautiful View just look at It," he said. "It's beautiful.

Restful. That's it, restful. Why, yd-u could sit out here all day and look down across that stretch of country and never tire of it. I wouldn't talk as I do if I had not seen other beautiful scenes; but I have traveled a great deal, and I have seen nothing more beautiful, more restful, than this wonder country here at 'Sconset." His may be a prejudiced eye; yet there beside him and looking off into the picture, I could understand something of how he felt. The whole vast moorland lay there under the eye, all splotched with masse of blending color the warm browns of the fairway, where drouth had done the painting; the great encroaching masses of dull green scrub oak, with mottlings of paler dwarfed huckleberry and wild roses; and then the brilliant emerald of the well-kept greens; the whole canvas rolling and tilting and dipping in harmony of contour down to the distant water.

The sea in sight almost all around the open sea, with no land off to eastward save the coast of Spain. Old Sankaty bids voyagers to Europe a last American goodby. Powder Puffs In Dozens But there are at least two parts In the house that are up to the minute. One is the women's locker room, the other the kitchens. Long dressing tables, with big mirrors and small mirrors and In-between mirrors in which fair femininity can view itself; beautiful toilet sets laid out for ready use, and Jozens and dozens of individual powder puffs and great jars of powder for use on sunburnt noses so much for the locker room.

Now meet Miss Agnes Everett, longtime member of the theatrical Summer colony at 'Sconset, who has of late abandoned the bright lights of Broadway for the less luminous, but more lucrative realms of cookery. Miss Everett has appeared in a score of successes folk. Last Summer, when the new clubhouse here was ready to open, Miss Everett sought the chance to take a hand at running it. The result is that today she is a sort of combination superintendent, steward, matron and chief cook. She has brought on the personnel of her New York eating place, turned them loose in the small but thoroughly up-to-mlnute hotel kitchen, and can produce a delectable snack or a good substantial meal at any time of the day.

So 'Sconset has its new clubhouse and at least a part of its new course. Already more than 200 members have been enrolled and more are coming. "Nothing exclusive about it at all." to join us." other things, that "down at 'Sconset they've got what's going to be the finest golf course In the world," and that Mr David Gray, legally of Detroit, actually (as near as I can Judge after a talk with him) a citizen of pretty much the entire world, Is the man who made it possible. Mr Gray, former associate of Henry Ford, many times a millionaire, and a wonderfully good fellow (as any man or woman on this island will tell you), gave the 280 acres of land and the clubhouse to the organization. The members as a whole are paying for the construction of the links, nine holes already being played upon, and the balance under construction.

"It's hardly the finest, course in the world. Hardly that." Mr Gray smiled when 1 put the question to him. "I guess one would have a pretty hard time trying to get golfers to agree on exactly what would constitute the finest court. But He turned away and looked down from the clubhouse along the gentle During the six months ending June SO the Globe printed more than double the number of Want and Classified advls carried by the next three, papers having Daily and Sunday editions.

But Mr Borah was a good sport and went right with him and admitted to the ZEMA MsAsefsa SmsUMs.

ftp, They Broke Three Needles-Trying to Adminster the Stuff to Him After Others Fall The $10 Clock "Now, Just the same way with our clubhouse. The best thing about it is its simplicity. I have had something to do with clubhouses because I have been on the boards of five or six golf clubs. And what is the usual thing? Why, they get an architect who builds a railroad station or a clubhouse, and then they call in the leading interior Well, as I write this, between breaths In a Comedy Chase Scene away out here in the Broad Spaces, where an Actor is no better than his double, I am reading about the Dempeey and Gibbons fight. In no business is a man entitled to more than he can draw, and every man Is entitled to a fair share of every cent he can draw.

One of the boys in the Picture just remarked that they should shut both of these fighters up in a room alone and then open the door and see what hd happened. Why, they would find Dempsey had sold Gibbons something and that Kearns was waiting outside to get 50 per cent. Say, we have a discoverer out here in California, a Dr House of Texas, who has invented a Serum called Scopolamin, a thing that when injected into you will make you tell the truth, at least for a while, anyway. Now, don't know that the stuff is any good, but he certainly come to the right State to get material to try it on. If he can make us fellows in California tell the truth his experiment will be a total success.

He don't have to look for subjects just jab his needle into the first guy out here and await results. He only has to ask one quesr tlon if ho has a Calffornian under his spell. All he has to do is ask him if he doesn't think it is a hot day? If the Patient says "Yes," why his experiment is an assured success. But if the Patient says, "Well, it is warm today, but that is very unusual for this tinie of the year." Why. then he might just as well throw Serum in the creek.

It is a failure. They started in by trying it on some Convicts in various Prisons out here. I don't know on what grounds they reason that a man in Jail is a better Liar than one out of Jail. The chances are that telling the truth is what got him in there. Anyway, it has worked wonders; every man they tried it on said he didn't commit the crime.

The chances are he would have said the same thing if the injection had been Hydrant water instead of Scopolamin But it has done wonders outside the Jail and has proven that it really has Aladdin qualities. They tried it on a Male Movie Star in Hollywood and he told his right Salary and his Press Agent quit him. They then tried it on a Female Movie Staress and she recalled things back as far as her first Husband's name, and remembered her real Maiden name. It really is a wonderful thing and if it could be brought into general use it would no doubt be a big aid to humanity. But it will never be, for already the politicians are up in arms against it.

It would ruin the very foundation on which our Political Government is run. If you ever injected truth into Politics you have no politics. Everybody in Jails are for it for they want to prove their innocence, but everybody out of jails are against it for fear they will get in themselves tinder its influence. Even Ministers are denouncing it now.

The Bootleggers all agreed with him that the stricter the law is enforced the better it will make prices. Why, in some places, it was getting terrible; the prices had dropped to almost what they were before the law went in. If there is one thing that will starve out Bootlegging it is cheap prices. That was quite a coimpliment to Denver to be picked out for the only law enforcement speech of his tour.

Shows you what an enviable position they have gained in America's principal Commodity. Next Mr Harding went to Salt Lake City. He spoke in the Mormon Tabernacle on "Thou shall have no other Wives before thee." Mr Senator Elder Smoot introduced Mr Harding by telling what the lately passed Tariff bill had done for Utah and the Sugar Beet, and What State, Col House, who also had great plans of an ideal existence among Nations of the world without conflict. Humanity is not yet ready for either Real Truth or real Harmony. So I look for these two House Boys to finish back on their original lots.
