A Civil war veteran, H. H. Bennett, started publicizing the region in 1870 with his "wet plate" camera studies. Now, when tourists swarm each summer, the jf Dells abound with somber, richly costumed Winnebago Indians who will pose for a man with a camera at the drop of a feather. Chief Yellow Thunder (left) is a case in point. Stand Rock is the trademark of is a pillar from the main cliff by separated a space of six feet. The top is a slab of sandstone 20 feet in diameter.

In past years Englishmen and Scots, from John Ball and Freddie Tait through Hilton on to the Tolleys and Wethereds have been the main hopes across the stormy water hazard. But it was James Bruen of Ireland who led the pack In theres V v YOU look back over past In the British goll championships, it seems odd to see a brace of Irishmen acting as the last two defenders of the British 1946 super- a1 x b f X and Sam no' also of Ireland, wearing the coronet of 1949. It is something for Is first starter In a British amateur to roll back two such men as Frank Stranahan and Willie Turnesa down the stretch. Especially over what might be the toughest course in the world. At least we know of no other conrse or links that Is 7200 yards long, par 74 where the normal weather Is driving rains and battering gates. Yet McCready In hi morning round against Turnesa shot himself a 70, just about the equal of a 62 on most other tests. It would have been pleasant to have had McCready as a parlay against Stranahan and Turnesa. It should have been a nice 10 to 1 or 12 to 1 payoff. In the opening betting the final winner was around 40 to 1. First starters rarely ever win one of these big tournaments where experience is almost as important as skill To stand 4 up at the midway point, to become 1 down late In the stretch, and then recover again is tribute enough to McCreadys competitive side. It was a good thing for International golf that an Irishman won. It will steam up the Walker Cap matches at Winged Foot in Angnst where interested galleries would like to get a look at the swing that decapitated our two best amateurs. In the meanwhile, what has happened to Scottish golf? What has become of the descendants of that ancient shepherd who began knocking round stones into holes, thereby starting a game that in the U S. alone has led to some 5,000 courses and some three million club swingers? It Is time the land of the thistle and the bluebell came bounding back. A GRANTLAND RICE WHEN 50-fo- ot vises as her dog "Watch" does the same trick.

Bill always has Contended that Ted Williams was at fine a hitter as he ever saw., Ted was under ,300 ,at the time. The Prince Regent of Arkansas merely grinned. "I have an Bill said, "that he will be idea, back up there around the first of June. Nothing can keep back that eye and that pair of working wrists. Williams can wait until the ball is almost in the catchers glove before he swings. And if its a half inch wide of the plate he wont fool with it. It seems that in the race for batting honors, Ted is back where he belongs. He has moved from .290 to around the .330 mark. He also has his full shar of home runs and runs batted In. He is the best bet of the year to become a Triple Crowner In the department of the ash. At this spot we cant see any one leading Williams to the batting wire In September. There it a big difference between hitting .400 now and hitting ,400 some 20 or 30 year ago. Williams was the last big leaguer to hit over .400 some years ago. But back in an earlier decade we had Ty Cobb, Harry Heilmann, George Sisler, Rogers Hornsby, Bill Terry and others tapping the big mark from year to year. A .400 hitter caused no undue excitement in those lost decades. There is another young hitter wb has moved up from his 1948 form His name Is Ralph Kiner.

With Improved economic conditions, there were indications In 1948 that family life was slowly returning to normalcy. Many countries, notably England, Finland, Japan, Poland, and Sweden, instituted or broadened provisions designed to make family life more secure. In the United States, about were perf1,800,000 marriages ormed, a decrease of 10 per cent from the provisional total of 1,992,354 in 1947, and a drop of more than 20 per cent from the final figure of 2,291,045 in 1946. The rate of divorce was aptrend, with proaching the pre-wthe number of divorces believed not to exceed 420,000 a decrease of 10 per cent from 1947, and a 30 per cent decrease from 1946. Certain notable efforts to improve family life were made In the United States in 1948, according to the article. The National Conference on Family Life, authorized by President Truman, convened at the White House in May to explore the factual background of U. S. families, dynamics of family interaction, economic welfare, and related topics. Institutes on family relations were held at the universities of California, Chicago, Indiana, and Southern California, and the American Institute of Family Relations sponsored workshops at several colleges. The University of Florida extension division conducted seven regional family life institutes. ar Pattern No. 8441 is for size 38, 3S, 40, 42, 44, 48, 48, SO and 81.
