The best players have usually been artisans. . . . Golf in earlier centuries seems to have been the favorite sport of the "common and meaner sort of people" wherever they had easj> access to the links. Histt ry. is very uncertain as to the origin of the game. There are those who are convinced that it was imported from Holland, and it Is not unreasonable to believe that the Scottish sportsmen of property and position may 'have brought balls and clubs from Holland and adapted the Dutch game of Kolf to the links of their native land. In any case, it has been the game of the common for centuries and the chief pastime of the people residing near such nublic around.

U.S. AND ENGLAND London Discusses Proposed Treaty for Peace With U.S.A. London--Suggestions have been revived for negotiating 100 years' peace treaty between Great Britain and the United States, and it is understood tha the actual treaty has been privately drafted by an eminent legal authority here on suggestions made by Americans in a private capacity MJnard's Liniment for sore feet. CHECKING UP ON QUAKE Death Toll in China Last May May Be 100,000 Pekin--An unofficial, unconfirmed report from the remote province of Kansu reaching the China International Famine Relief Commission in Pekin recently led officials of that organization to the opinion that the death roll in the earthquake of May 23 may have reached 100,000.- At the present time there is no communication between the Pekin Government and the Kansu provincial regime, as the latter is dominated by Gen Feng Yu-hslang, allied with the Nationalists. Moreover, the stricken area is far from Llangchow, the provincial capital, and it is unlikely that reliable reports nave reched even Llangchow, as Chinese local authorities are notoriously apathetic in such disasters. It is believed the quake was of unusual severity but that the damage was confined to the northern Kansu region in the vicinity of Llangchow. There is no means cf making an authentic check, however, since the commission's Kansu committee, mostly isslonaries, has dispersed because of foreign evacuation of the province. There are no other agencies capable of compiling estimates of casualties. The only foreigners in Lianvchow at the time were Mr. and Mrs. William Alpdus Belcher and Dr. Rand of the China Inland Mission, Britishers.

It would be preferable, many think, to leave relations as (hey are as the best guarantee of peace between the two nations. After the failure of the Geneva conference, the British Government is naturally reluctant to open negotiations with the United States for 100 years' peace treaty because of the fear that such negotiations might fall, and failure, it Is pointed out, would be interpreted as meaning that the relations between London and Washington .were not so happy as they would seem.
