SPORT AND ATHLETICS.
LIGHTER GOLF BALL. Uninfluenced by the adverse "de. cision of the Royal and Ancient Club's Rules of Golf Committee on the larger and lighter" ball, the United States Golf Association has authorised the use of it as from January 1, 1931, The Association's Ball and Implements Committee announce that this action has fol- lawed Ave years of study and most intensive tests, leading to the belief The that a change is advisable. new ball is to be not less than 1.69 inch in diameter and 1.33 oz avoir- dupois, compared with the present 1.82 for both size and weight.
The Committee hold that while expert gollers may lose a little length on their drives the ordinary player will find the larger ball both pasier and pleasanter than the one in present use, while everyone will appreciate the maoner in which it sits up on the fairway and its good qualities on the greens. They cite the endorsement" of "Bobby Jones, who, as a member of the Executive Committee of the Anso ciation, has made exhaustive ex- periments with the new ball. The date of its introduction is deferred until 1931 in order to permit dealers to dispose of their present stock and ball manufacturers to alter their machinery.

FIREMAN ATHLETE.
Sub-Officer George Frampton, of Knightsbridge Station, one of the best known athletes in the London Fire Brigade, was killed in a cycling accident in Queen's Road Battersea, recently.

Frampton, who was just over 30, was cycling to his home at Catford when he came into collision with another cyclist and was thrown to the ground. He was removed to

Frampton, for all his long dis tance work, could alsc run a useful quarter; he ran up to the title. holder, F. J. Binckett, in last year's championships, but any distance suited him, and his list of successes on track, road, and across country was a remarkable one.

years ago, virtually excludes Ameri- can Rhodes scholars from participa- tion in track and field events against Cambridge as they are usually somewhat older than their British college mates. The rule is understood to have been passed as a result of criticism levelled at the University's sport policies which in- cluded the charge that the presence of crack and experienced American athletes prevented younger native talent from showing their stuf. Although there is no mention of Americans in the ruling, it is com. monly understood that this was the' purpose of the move.
Considerable satisfaction was ex-
pressed in the Fress at the time by old "blues" who believed the way to recapture athletic superiority was through reserving the places for home-grown stars.

THE WOMAN'S CORNER.
SISTERS ON THE HEARTH. THE VOGUE FOR KNOTS.
Sisters of to-day are not like those of yesterday. I am pretty certain of that. The very пате sister conveys something totally diferent from the girl of this present age. It may soon become an obsolete term beyond the accidental relation- shipi implies,
There are no real old-fashioned sisters in the modern warld. but only Peggys, and Joans, and Pac- las all going their separate in. dividualistic way to success, thrills, or happiness.
Tolerance.
Modern sisters are different from those of yore. If there is a likeness between them, they do not, accen- tuate it by dressing alike, and adopting the same mannerisms. They only do so in the last ex- tremity of similarity that is, if they happen to be so very much alike that to stress their resem- biance to each other becomes piquant and interesting rather than
onotonous
The logical way is the best road towards creating good relationships even between sisters who are entire. ly different from each other. To 'realise the fine shades in her char- acter, to be tolerant with her, and make allowances is halfway towards peace in the home when a girl differs very much from her sister.
No Cinderellas Now,
The vogue for knots of ribbon on the shoulder, at the waist, or even on the skirt, has to a certain extent replaced the mode for flowers.
for fortunately we live in kinder and saner times, whatever critics may say to the contrary.

THE FISH COURSE..
HERE IS SOMETHING DIFFERENT.
It is seldom that the housewife will consider the making of soufflés of any kind But the following recipe has only to be tried to know. how really simple and easy it is tơ make and serve up fillets of sole in a different way. The time ex- pended in the making of this de- licious dish will be amply rewarded by its general appreciation It is a light dish for breakfast and serves admirably as the fish course for dinner.
Eight fillets of soles, half dunes of butter, the juice of half a lemon, balf pint of mornay sauce, two.yolks of eggs, three whites of eggs, salt and pepper will be required.
Place the fillets of sole on the table, skitned side up, flatten them a little with a heavy knife blade or bat, sprinkle salt and pepper over and roll them up.
Set these so-called "paupiettes (rolls) on a buttered baking sheet or enamel tray, squeeze the juice of half a lemon over, cover with a buttered paper and cook in mode- rately hot oven for twelve to fifteen minutes,
