Guardsman Arrested
On Assault Charge
Earl Hartz, a Guardsman encamped
on the Island, will be given a hearing
this evening before Alderman James
B. DeShong. Hartz is charged by
; Robert Shearer. 319 Clinton avenue,
with assault and battery. According
! to the story told to Alderman De
, Shong the trouble started when a
man began to look for his two daugh
; ters. who had not come home late in
| the evening. He was told they were
| seen going toward the Island. Com-
I ing near the encampment, he met
| Shearer, who told him where his
; daughters were. When the father
found them in company with two of
the Guardsmen he sent them home.
, Shearer did not leave and was later
| accosted by Hartz. who demanded to
! know what business he had to meddle
with his affairs and to "blow on a
1 soldier." Roberts is alleged to have
i said that was his business and he
j would tell what he pleased. Accord
| ing to the information made against
him. Hartz then struck Shearer. Hartz
i was arrested by Constable David
i Hodge and lodged in jail.
Shaving Heads Popular
With National Guards
Troops in the local companies of
! the Eighth Regiment camping on the
I Island find shaved heads much cooler
than long hair blowing over their
faces. The result is the men take
turns at the "shaving" stunt. Above
j are several Guardsmen removing the
| wavy locks of a fellow soldier.

RELIEF CHIEF
TELLS BENEFITS
Pennsv Official Hears Some
Kicks; Recent Pension
Changes
Increased benefits for members of
the Pennsylvania Railroad Relief De
partment were explained last night
by E. B. Hunt, chief of this branch
of the Pennsy system. He was the
guest of the members of the Friend
ship and Co-operative Club for Rail
road Men, at a monthly meeting held
in Eagle's Hall, Sixth and Cumber
land streets.
In his opening remarks. Mr. Hunt
said he was here for the purpose of
hearing any complaints the men may
have. Members were not slow in
telling their grievances, and recent
experiences with the relief depart
ment. There were many heart to
heart talks, and then Chief Hunt
said:
Ready to Help
"It is the plan of thp Relief De
partment to give the men the best
attention possible. Where facilities
are found inadequate remedies will
be forthcoming promptly. The work
throughout the system is being class
ified. We want to know just what
is going on. That is why 1 am here.
1 am pleased because you have been
frank in your statements and assure
you that i shall do my best to better
any unsatisfactory conditions that
may exist."
Mr. Hunt told of a new system for
paying future pensioners who, be
cause of disability, are incapacitated
from following their regular duties.
Heretofore disabled employes who
have from one to four years to serve
before reaching the disability retiring
ago. have been placed on the Relief,
and received such amounts provided
for benefits during sickness or in
jury.
Will Get Full Pny
Lnder the new arrangement, an
employe who has been disabled, and
cannot follow his regular duties will
receive full pay. The latter will be
based on the amount paid him during
the last month he was able to follow
h;s regular duties. If an employe
is obliged to take up other work
because of disability and later be
comes totally incapacitated tlieamount
to be paid until his retirement will
be based on the amount of wages
: received during the past ten years of
service.
i It was also explained that there
| are times when conditions become
I congested and delays occur in the ex-
I amination of empFoyes. To avoid
further* trouble at the local offices
I se Parate classes.

GOLF RECRUITS
i ARE INCREASING
Statistics Show More Play
This Game Than Other
Sports
New York—Although there is no
way of ascertaining accurately the
number of new recruits enrolled as
golf devotees each season, it has
been estimated that not less than
100,000 join the ranks every year.
And those who are in a position to
Judge state *hat this estimate is con
servative. There is no doubt that
golf now has more actual partici
pants thrn any other outdoor sport
in this country.
A critic who recently made an
exhaustive effort to determine Just
how many new players enlist to
pursue the elusive ball over the links
of this country every year declared
that as nearly as can be figured
100.000 is about right.
There are approximately 11.000
golf courses in this country. This
number does not include the links
laid out on many private estates.
There is no way of finding out how
many of these there are. If it were
possible it would be found the total
number of courses would be greatly
increased.
Some idea of the growth of golf
can be gleaned from what has
transpired in this district. No doubt
the growth here has been greater
than in some less thickly populated
sections of the country, but it is safe
to state that the growth of the game
has been in proportion everywhere.
Five years ago it was estimated
that not more than 500 persons play
ed on the public courses at Van
Cortlandt and Pelham Bay parks.
This year more than 7,000 permits
have been issued to players for Van
Cortlandt, Mosholu and Pelham.
That's an increase of 1,400 per cent,
in five years, or a yearly increase of
approximately 300 per cent.
1,078 Have Joined
Navy at Scranton
Scranton, July 27'.—According to
figures given out by the local naval
recruiting officers 1078 young men
have enlisted here since war was de
clared. This establishes what is be
lieved to be a record for the country,
the figure being within of the
original quota asked from the Scran
ton district.
The Thirteenth Regiment recruit
ing campaign is also showing a spurt,
over 100 having been received into
the command within a week. Since
the draft numbers were announced
fifty-two recruits have enlisted.

Court Says Cigarets
Don't Pay Wife Alimony
Goshen, July 27.—"You cannot pay
: alimony with cigarets," remarked
Supreme Court Justice M. H. Hirsch
berg, of Orange county, in issuing an
order on file in Goshon to-day, di
recting William Miller, merchant and
village treasurer of Monticello, to
pay his wife sls weekly instead of
I S4O, as demanded by her, pending
the trial of her suit for divorce. His
| wife has also sued for her share of
the store business in which she was
partner.
Susan Miller, niece of the late Sur
rogate Thornton, sued after seven
teen yeirs of married life, and
named Miss Nellie McCaffrey. Coun
sel for the defendant asked the
Judge to be easy with him in the
matter of alimony, as his invest
ments had turned out poorly. Mrs.
Miller's counsel sought to prove that
he has SIO,OOO worth of cigarets,
cigars and other supplies stored
away in a warehouse, indicating he
can well afford to pay S4O weekly.
The Judge remarked alimony can
not be paid with cigarets. and or
dered Miller to pay sls a week. Mrs.
Miller in another suit demands an
accounting of the store business.
HORSE CAR MAKES LAST TRIP
Xew York, July 27.—New York's
last horse car to-day Joined the
snows of yesteryear. It was pulled
from Broadway and Bleecker street
to McDougal street, to West Fourth

teenth street and Ninth avenue. The

mile. A load of public service of
ficials. New York railway magnates,
moving-picture men and newspaper
photographers made the trip.
BOOKS AND MAGAZINES
Dr. Henry van Dyke, who recently
returned from The Hague says of
"The Will to Freedom" (Scrlbners)
by Rev. John Neville Figgis: "It
throws much light upon the causes
which have really produced the pres
ent war. I have felt from the be
ginning that the war. both in its
existence and in its conduct, is a
psychological phenomenon. Nietzschj
may have been an anti-Russian; but
his thinking and his writing have
done much to produce that modern
monster known as the German Kul
tur which is now bathing the world
in blood in order to realize its Insane
dream of the 'Blond Beast' enthron
ed In the place of God.
Joyce Kilmer, who in his recently
published book. "Literature in the
Making," (Hooper and Bros.) pre
sents the opinions of twenty-three
American authors on various aspects
of our literature, says while writers
often have not time to lecture or
write about their art, they are will
ing to talk about it. A century or
two from now some of the writers
who in this book talk to the world
may be the objects of curiosity as
great."
The Southern mountaineers, pur
est bloded of all Americans, are the
people who fill the pages of Sarah
Johnson Cocke's novel, "The Master
of. the Hills," ready for publication
by E. P. Dutton and Co. It covers
two generations, beginning with the
years before just previous to the
Civil War. Many men and women
carry on the plot of her story and
she has aimed to make them portray
representative types of these people.
Disposing of one's remains by hav
ing one's dust scattered from an
aeroplane is the ingenious idea de
veloped in Wallace Irwin's story.
"The Highest," in his "Pilgrims Into
Folly" (Doran).
TOO WEAK

The man was really
never down-and-out. His weakened
condition because of overwork, lack
of exercise, improper eating and liv
