why MAN EyCELs AT GOLF
Woman Lacks the Active Physical
Training Which Her Brother
Gets In Soyhood.

II you ere 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 eifec.
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 mar to a woman.
In other words, II a man and d WON.
an 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 CUES.
ton.
In the first place. men have far
greater game experience. They begin
to play bat and ball games at an ear
Her age and thereby develop mere
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
q golf club in their hands for the first
time the essentia act OF concentrating
their vision on the object to be struck
is not a novelty. 1t is second nature.
With a girl 1t 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. It appears
that a 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.

Fortune For
Boy Inventors.
Device of Two Youths
Prevents Eavesdropping
on Party Phones.

Boston, Mass. Mar. 7.-Eaves-
dropping on a party line is to be
made impossible, as the result of
an invention of two Webster
boys, which has so impressed
the New England Telegraph and
Telephone Company that they
have paid $1,000 for it.
The youthful inventors are
Walter Bantlou and Philip Lave
ry, neither of whom are over 20,
and neither of whom has ever
made more than $40 a week.
Lavery is the genius who ac-
tually solved the problem of put
ting an end to eavesdropping, al
though Bantlou participated in
the experiments. The device, on
which a patent is pending, is a
cut-out, which breaks the circuit
when the receiver is taken from
the hook.-k. G. Journal.

ballot box anG the ticket or tick
cts you have not voted in a blank
ballot box" This system enab-
les the voter to express his
choice for all nominations of his
party for office without disclos-
ing, even to the election judges,
his political affiliation or belief.
The candidate at the primary
election for the nomination for
any particular office receiving
the most votes, though not a ma
iority, is declared the party nom
inee for that office.
1t will be noticed, that this new
primary law provides a system
by which the political parties"
nominate their tickets. Under
that law but two organiza tions in
the state come up to the detini-
ton of political party, the Re
publican and the Democratic or
ganizations. No other organiza-
tion polled for its candidate for
governor, ten per cent of the to-
tai vote cast at the last election;
and therefore, does not come
within the definition of a poliGi-
cal party; hence can have no sep
arate primary ticket at the pri-
mary election. Nominations by
other organizations; as for exam
pie. the Prohibitionists, Social.
lists, independents, etc, can be
made by petition, much in the
same manner in which such nom

With no disparagement of other as
pirants for the Democratic nomination
all of whom are statesmen of high
character and achievement, we respect
fully bespeak your dispassionate at
tention to the merits and availability of
Governor Woodrow Wilson of New
Jersey.
While the prospect of Democratic
success in the coming Presidential e.
lection is most promising, it is by no
means conclusive. Progressive senti-
ment, though strong and constantly in
creasing, is not cohesive, and will not
become so until one of the great parties
is formally committed against it. When
will lattract all men of common purpos es
to their respective centers.
The President will probably receive
the Republican nomination, notwith-
standing the efforts of his opponents to
prevent it. In that event a progressive
Democrat, whose faith is known not
only by his words but by his works,
should be our standard bearer. He
must measure up to the standards de-
manded by the sentiments and purposes
of both the progressive Republican and
the independent voter, with whose sup
port we can win. The one candidate
who fulfills this great essential is
Woodrow Wilson.
