HAS FAITHFUL GOLF HOUND
R«!!o’r Owner Doesn’t Care How High
They Booet the Price of the Lit-
tle Rubber Balia.
There is a certain person who re-
sides in the Clifton park section who
doesn't care how high they boost tho
moe of golf balls, since he trainod
Ftolio, the golf hound, the Baltimore
Star nays.
Rollo is a shaggy brute with a dis-
tant retriever strain somewhere with-
in a various and assorted ancestry.
As a hunter Rollo has an edge on ail
of them, but he doesn’t hunt birds,
he hunts golf balls.
In the course of a week, in fine
weather, many a score of expensive
hard rubber pellets are driven into
the dim distance on the public links
at Clifton park and lost to their pur-
chasers for all time.
The Clifton course is particularly
busy on Saturday and the brightness
of early Sunday morning rarely fails
to disclose the spectacle of Rollo and
his master making a morning tour
of the links. Blue laws forbid the
playing of golf on Sunday, but there
is nothing to stop a man taking an
early morning constitutional on the
course, and Rollo, of course, goes
along for company.
So it happens that Rollo, wfth un-
erring eye and dilating nostrils,
seeks out the odd corners for “baby;
dimples” and “black colonels” and,
retrieving them speedily, lays them
at his master’s feet with touching sa-
gacity. There is no brand of golf
ball sold in Baltimore which is not “Why shouldn’t a farmer raise fish
represented in the collection of the as well as chickens?” asks Secretary
fortunate owner of Rollo, the faith- of Commerce William C. Redfield,
ful golf hound.

MAKING PHONE MORE EFFICIENT.
in order to keep disturbing sounds
out of the ears and to amplify the
sound, particularly in the instance of
long-distance calls, there has recent-
ly been introduced a device which
can be used with the ordinary tele-
phone instrument, but which is not
an attachment, and therefore cannot
be objected to by the telephone com-
panies. This device consists of a
sound chamber over which is placed
the telephone receiver instead of put-
ting it up to the ear, and two adjust-
able hearing tubos. Simple meaus
are provided for fitting the tubes to
the individual, thus leaving his
hands free.
in discussing means to increase the
national supply of food. “Given a
proper fresh water supply and rea-
sonable space for a pond, an aston-
ishing quantity may be had in tAd
or three years. The fisheries bureau
has been instrumental in bringing
long-neglected food fish to the mar-
ket at the rate of 20,000,000 pounds
a year.”

SACRIFICIAL.
"But, nty Sear,” said his wife, aft-
er he had complained about the food
th$ new cook had brought in. “You
know during these tetrible times it
is absolutely necessary that we make
great sacrifices.”
“Oh, of course, but what I object
to is the cook’s making hers in the
form of a burnt offering.”
PAW KNOW8 EVERYTHING.
Willie—Paw, does X represent an
unknown quantity?
Taw—Yes, it does in the average
pocketbook, my son.
