...reason to feel pleased last week when the U. S. Golf Association, meeting in Manhattan, sanctioned two-piece golf clubs with readily mountable shafts which can be screwed out of one clubhead and into another at a moment's notice.* Brought out by Donaldson Manufacturing Co. of Glasgow, such clubs make it possible to play without a caddy, by carrying one shaft and a small container of clubheads. Practically, they are less for thrift than for convenience. If he breaks a favorite club, a golfer can screw in an identical shaft from another club without leaving the course. British...

S. commercial agent at Crefeld, Germany he took it gratefully, though it meant leaving his wife and family behind.

S. canny Sir Thomas always stressed his Irish parentage. In his will he remembered his Scotch birth. To hospitals, infirmaries, old men's and women's homes in Glasgow went the bulk of his estate, estimated at some $3.910.000. For the immediate relief of poor mothers and their children in Glasgow went an additional $312,000. Sir Thomas was buried in Glasgow last week, beside his parents in the cemetery known...
Died. Sir Thomas Johnstone Lipton, 81, most famed of British sportsmen, self-made tea tycoon; in his sleep after a ten-day cold; in London. Born in a Glasgow tenement, he went to the U. S. at 15 seeking his fortune, returned when he had saved $500. He had worked in a grocery shop in New York, saw possibilities in the U. S. way of displaying and selling green groceries. His first shop in Glasgow was a success, with Proprietor Lipton behind the counter in white overalls and an apron. From the beginning he believed in advertising, kept his shop...
