November, 1922 THE ATLANTIAN 21 A PSALM OF GOLF. By W. A. Thompson. I broke a hundred, John, my son— I did, so help me Jonah! I dropped a putt for ninety-one, So smoke this large Corona!

Dear Mrs. McGowan, across the hall, was speaking of the trouble she’s been having with her car. “But everybody has trouble lately,” she said; “and it’s nothing in the world but them using these raw ma terials at the factories.”—Motor Life.
