even present evils can be viewed in the
calm light OF mild philosophy. Here is,
perhaps, COLTS greatest virtue. 1t mat
ters not whether one happens to be play
ing laziy along over tropical sands or
climbing snow capped bunkers swept by
piercing winds from the Far North, the
test is the same, for to be a great, and
even a good, player a man must school
himself to regard evil fortune with the
same unruffied gaze he casts upon sue
cess. 1t has long since been demonstrated
beyond doubt that a person with an ir-
ritable, hasty temper will never make any
thing but mediocre golfer unless he
succeeds in conquering his moral infirmity.
good point to remember is that one
bad mistake at golf does not dismiss the
player from the contest. There are
strokes in plenty and holes to come ere
the round is finished at which complete
recovery can be made. unless of course,
the mistake happens to come at the last
hole. Even defeat can be rendered. if not
pleasant, at least tOlerable, by the eXer-
else of a little philosophy. There is the
consolation of feeling that the opponent
may have enjoyed what we are pleased
to term all the luck. He probably brought
off several long puts, and for this the
winner is called lucky, though if the shoe
had been on the other foot those same
fifteen and twenty-footers which happily
found the bottom of the cup would have
been taken as 4 matter of course.
Furthermore. there is a spur to amhi-
tion in rejecting that the same opponent
Will aSSuredly be beaten the next time
of meeting, and one can derive a vast
amount OF balm from that thought
Above all, let it be remembered, that
golf is only a game, and that victory or
defeat matters little so long as the round
has been plaYed in the proper spirit.

CHAPTER III.

In his present condition of being bunk
cred by snow and ice, the metropolitan
golfer finds leisure for peep southwark
through frosted spectacles. This some
times helps buoy up the waning enthusi-
asm and the registering of fresh resou-
tions SO appropriate just now, also, the
renewing of that oft-repeated determna-
tion to stand by the old game through
thick and thin, even though there is moth
ing in sight to swing at save snowballs
1t has been asserted that this game has
more than its share of enemies. All sorts
of charges are laid to the discredit of the
golfer, who. il is alleged. is selfish cow
ardly and inconsiderate. That his pleasure
demands wide stretches of land suita bic
for public recreation that must be given
up for his exclusive use, and that he learns
no lessons of high courage such as he
would acquire if he INDUCED in games
which would give him a chance of sustain
ing serious personal injury are arguments
made.
In answer. let il be said that these are
weak charges; that the evil which golf
obvious. 1t is a game which teaches self
reliance, decision, resignation love of open
air, and, above all. philosophy. There is
no other game which makes a player real
ize so fully his own limitations, for in golf
the ball is a passive lump Of rubber and
failure to deal with it properly has nothing
to do with the adversary, but is entirely
the players own fault. Consequently, the
golfer has to make up his mind no matter
how unpalatabe it may be. that bad
suits are in nearly every instance due en-
tirely TO his bad play.
This bad play microbe attacks all ex-
ponents of the game severely or lightly
according TO their proficiency. but even the
greatest players suffer from the complaint
at times. In this country. where the pro-
fessionals have fewer opportunities to clash
at match play than on the other side, the
chances for studying the American salared

The consumption of California oil has SO
far Outran the great production of petro-
leum that the demand is now in excess OF
the supply by 5000 barrels day. Last year
opened with a surplus production of 5000
barrels a day. A year ago the production
was $4,000 barrels day. but this has now
been increased to $4,000 barrels. This in
crease in use has been a powerful stimulus
to the new oil fields, and this year will
probably see many new wells opened.
All around Santa Barbara is a promising
oil field, which has scarcely been pros
pected, and this month work has been
begun In sinking wells in Santa Clara
