WHY MAN EXcELS AT GOLF
Woman Lacks the Active Physical
Training Which Her Brother
Gets In Boyhood.

If you were asked why men play
better golf than women your answer
probably would be: because men are
stronger than women. And that
would be the truth, but only part of it.
Possibly the difference in the effec-
tiveness of the woman's and the mans
game can, as some people claim, be
traced directly to the length of the
shot, but the more one investigates
the more he is led to qualify this con-
clusion. 1t becomes, on the whole,
less reasonable to credit solely to
muscular advantage the eight to nine
strokes which, roughly, measure the
handicap due from a man to a woman.
In other words, If man and a wom-
IN should happen to have an equal
supply of strength and endurance. it
seems that the man would turn out to
be the better golfer. That Is the uues-
ton.
In the first place. men have far
greater game experience. They begin
to play bat and ball games at an ear
lier age and thereby develop more
thoroughly the feel" of clubs and the
fine eye that is necessary for success
in such games. There are all sorts
of games that boys amuse themselves
with from their earliest youth which
give them eye. And when they take
a golf club in their hands for the first
time the essential act of concentrating
their vision en- the object to be struck
Is not novelty. 1t is second nature.
With a girl it is different. She has
not daily played games that developed
her eye, such as marbles, Scrub"
hockey, snowballing and target prac-
tice, games that are the constant avo-
cations of bipeds who practice the
profession of being boys. And yet one
Of the greatest of women golfers as
sures me that women have shown in
tournaments more concentration of
the eye than men and that only last
fall this fact was proved. 1t appears
that computation was made both at
the mems championship and the wom-
ems which proved that the women
missed their drives less often than the
men.-Charles Alden Settler in the
Outing Magazine

In New street, Horsham, England,
says writer in the May Strand, there
is to be seen the very exceptional and
interesting spectacle of talking rock
The bird is the property of two school
children. little girl and boy, who
caught it five years ago, when it was
quite baby, in local rookery. 1t is
of the gentler sex, and occupies a
small pen in tiny back garden. No
attempt has ever been made to teach
the Iook to talk, and yet she has a
vocabulary of close upon 100 simple
words. She is often allowed out in
the garden, for, although she can fly
swiftly and strongly, she can be trust
ed not to make her escape. 1t is said
that this is the first instance of a rock
developing the power to talk.

WHY NOT PATRIOTS IN WAx7
Suggestion for Exhibitions Of Effgies
Comes From the Shows Common
In England.

How many school children would
recognize historical personages, other
than perhaps Washington and Lincoln,
If they met them face to face? A
South Side matron recently returned
from a tour of the British Isles, was
speaking. She said:
In Great Britain every little town
has its wax works show 1t is a mys-
terry to me why We Americans with
our far-famed business sagacity haA1
so long neglected SO fertile a field
They are as common and as cheap
there as moving picture shows are
here. In these places all the famous
characters of history and literature
are depicted. A school child is able to
go into wax works show and get an
accurate idea of the costumes. faces
and figures of any particular time.
How many Of us can get such an idea
from pile of clothing lying ticketed
on museum shelf?
Nine. Tussaud's wax works in Lon
don are probably the most complete
OF its kind in the world. Thousands
OF figures and scenes are depicted in

Just Like the Bible,

Niles, who is 10 years old, has a

go to the circus.
When the circus came this week he
lied his regular petition for permits
sion to attend.

times, Miles," said his mother, land
