Stretching across the fairway at "Grumley's," famed 16th and hoodoo hole of the windy Southporty & Ainsdale course in Lancashire, is a 30-ft. sand bunker faced with black railroad ties.

In these countries where the improved modern methods of appealing to the mob coupled with the actual use of force have been successful, an approach to homogeneity has been attained. Here is one world, and woe to the man who does not conform to it in thought as well as in action. I hardly need give illustrations. We are all too familiar with them, --the news from Russia and Germany almost daily illustrates the intellectual...
