Solr River Volley Hoo-Hoo Turn Out for Teqrn Tournqment

Salt River Valley Hoo-Hoo Cltb 72, Phoenix, Arizorra, gct together at Mesa Country Club, February 17, for its A & B Best Ball (2-men-best-ball) Team Tournament. The tee-off was at Noon with draw for partners or-r the first tee. Hoo-Hoo members got the full Hoo-Hoo handicap; guests got tl-re full club handicap. Five prizes of golf balls were awarded, and four balls were awarded each team closest to the green on all three par holes. A "Calcutta" was held and l)oyle Sewell served as Sheriff-for-the-Day.

Dinner was served at6:29, with another splendid program arranged. Allen Thum was in charge of the program, reports President Aram Mardian. John Bulla was the speaker of the evening and the well-known golf pro put on a good show.

Left to right around the table: James C. O'Malley, vice-president and general manager cf yards, O'Malley Lumber Co.; Loren Pedrick, manager, Farmers Lumber & Supply Co.; Martin Combs, manager, O'Malley Lumber Co., Buckeye, Ariz.; Bill Knick, Devoe Paint Co.; Walter Howard, ARL&BSA; L. G. Olds, Devoe Paint; John G. O'Malley, president and general manager, Mallco Distributcrs, Phoenix; E. C. Bishop, Devoe Paint:

Bulla explained to the golfers what happens when you hit a golf ball with a wood driver. It seems that the ball, being rubber, distorts and recovers its original shape when hit by a driver made of persimmon wood (it says here) in the same period of time that the persimmon wood recovers, so that the maximum impact is transmitted to the ball. And that's why nearly all of the better drivers are made of persimmon wood heads (news to us). None of the laminated wood clubs or other materials equal these, according to Pro Bulla who, report the ardent golfers here, is one of tl-re best in the business.

No one seems to know the origin of the superstitious belief that 13 is an unlucky number. Yet there are millions of people who do hold that belief, and practice it.

{<**

Many hotels omit 13 entirely in the numbering of their floors. Many people could not be hired to sit at a table with 12 others. The thing is too well known to need debate.

**r.<

And yet when it comes to logic rather than superstition, it seems to be the very opposite. Consider:

*d<*

The very history of civilization is founded on two 13 numbers from the Bible. The Bible is divided into two books. the Old and the New Testaments.

*{<*

The Old Testament is the history of the Children of Israel. And Israel had 13 children, 12 boys and one girl.

,.. * {.

The New Testament is the history of Christianity. And Christianity was founded by twelve men, a certain itinerant preacher named Jesus, and his twelve disciples. Thirteen in all. ***

Take our own country's history. Here the number 13 played a most prominent part. First, there were 13 colonies; the first American flag had 13 stars and stripes. ***

Our first war for freedom was called the "revolutionary" war. And "revolutionary" has 13 letters. Our motto, "E Pluribus lJnum," is made up of 13 letters. So is "American Eagle." *

Commodore Perry's great naval victory was won on September 13. John Paul Jones was 13 years old when he came to this country, and there are 13 letters in his name. He carried the fag with its 13 stars to glorious victory, and there were 13 vessels in the first fleet of the American government' * * *

This kind of argument could go on indefinitely, seeming to show 13 to be a very lucky rather than unlucky number. t<*{<

Nothing on earth can smile but man. Gems may flash reflected light, but what is a diamond flash compared with an eye fash, and mirth flash? Flowers cannot smile. This is a charm that even they cannot claim. It is the prerogative of man. It is the color which love wears, and cheerfulness, and joy . . . these ant"u. * * *

It is the light in the windows of the face by which the heart signals that it is at home and waiting. Laughter is day, and sobriety is night, and a smile is the twilight that hovers gently between both-more bewitching than either. (Anon.)

Someone has said: "America is the land of opportunity, where they lock up the jury and turn the defendant loose. The average man yells for the government to balance the budget, and then wants to borrow five bucks until payday. It is dangerous to drive a car with one hand; many a man has run into a church that way. When a woman lowers her voice it is a sign she wants something; when she raises it, it is a sign she didn't get it." ***

Thomas Drier said: "We know our neighbor's God is a good God, because goodness, generosity, thoughtfulness, and helpfulness are the effortless expressions of this neighbor in his moment-to-mornent living. Every man is his God's living advertisement."

George Washington ,lru,1'or*"ll the dispositions and habits which lead to political prosperity, religion and morality are indispensable supports. In vain would that man claim the tribute of patriotism who should labor to subvert these great pillars of human happiness."

It should be easy to heed the old adage that "an apple a day keeps the doctor away," for we are told that not less than seven-thousand distinct and separate species of apples are grown in the United States.

The Chinese are masters of the art of condensing wisdom into a few words. For example: "If there is righteousness in the heart, there will be beauty in the character. If there is beauty in the character, there will be harmony in the home. If there is harmony in the home, there will be order in the nation. If there is order in the nation. there will be peace in the world."

The first law school in America was opened in Litchfield, Conn., by Judge Tappine Reeve, and he and his successor, James Gould, operated the school for forty years. It is said that among the graduates of this school were five cabinet ministers, two justices of the U. S. Supreme Court, ten governors of states, sixteen U. S. Senators, fifty members of Congress, forty high court judges, and eight state chief justices'

Two drunks were passing a pet shop when a sign in the window caught their eye. It read: "Eskimo Spitz Dogs." They started for the door, one of them remarking: "That I've got to see !"
