even with the boosting he gets from

and dash against him.
His hind fiippers are OF little use on
land, and on sand or pebbles, where
bis front Gippers do not hold well, the
labor Of fioundering forward is so great
that be never stirs beyond the edge OF
the water and usually lies with his
body half awash, with the salt spray
dashing over him like torrents of rain.
On solid rock or ice he gets along
much better, and often herd will

The females and younger walruses

BIRTH OF COLONEL BoGY.
Origin of the Term That Has Become
a Part of Golf.

Origin of the Term That Has Become
a Part Of Golf.
\ "Who is Colonel Bogy?" That is the
first question usually asked by the re-
cruit when he steps on the golf links.
Professionals and veterans never tire
of explaining that he Is the imaginary
opponent, with the fixed score for each
hole. but few can tell how the name
originated
1t generally is accepted that an Eng
lishman was first to set forth the idea.
In December, 1890. the scratch score Of
the Coventry course was taken. being
the score that good scratch player
would take to each hole OF the grounds,
making no mistakes, but also fluking
nothing nor being fortunate with any
special flashes of brilliant play.
At the time they called this .'the
ground score" and later several tour
naments were given under the system.
The name. however, followed soon. and
its origin was curious one. DR..
Thomas Browne. r. n. went out to
play against friend. Major Charles
A. Wellman. and they agreed instead
of playing directly against each other
to play against the ground score and
decide their match accordingly as each

about the same time the s9bogy song

everybody else was singing 1t. The

J. M. SMITH is MADE
FACTORY MANAGER
OF HENDERSON co.

The rapid strides of the Henderson
organization have been one of the nota-
BILE features of the automobile building
industry. The added production that
comes with the moving of the factory
into the new addition has caused the
Henderson Motor Car Company to add
to its factory staff j. M. Smith, in the
capacity of factory production mana
ger.
Smith is not newcomer in the au-
tomobile manufacturing field, having
been employed in one of the most IA
nous of Detroit's giant factories for
several years in the capacity of assist
ant superintendent in charge of pro-
duction. He has also spent three sea-
sons with the Chatham Motor Car
Company of Canada, as production
manager, and goes to the Henderson
from the Cole Motor Car Company Of
Indianapolis, where he has been en-
ployed in the capacity of factory man
ager.

SHOW PREPARATION
SIMILAR TO WORK OF
THEATER MANAGERS

Putting on the show is the way in
which many motor car manufacturers
speak of their exhibits at the big auto
mobile shows. And many of them are
realizing that if the best results are to
be obtained they must use as much care
and, tact as is employed by the modern
producer of successful theatrical plays.
The methods used by the Cartercar
company, of Pontiac, Mich, in prepar-
ing and handling it's exhibits are wor-
thy of the modern stage manager.
That the motor car show is for BUSH
ness and business only is the opinion
OF IA. K. Radford, general manager of
the Cartercar Company, and he has fol-
lowed this idea out with remarkable
success: At the beginning of every
show he calls his men together and
tells them just how to make sales. how
TO demonstrate the cars how to tlispIav
them-in fact, the whole selling force
Is given thorough rehearsal of the
parts it is to play. Each man has
regular time to be on the floor, and
these shifts are so arranged that there
VIII be at least two men on hand at all
times to receive visitors. Then the
cars are displayed, so that the star" of
the line will be given most prominence.
of course, giving the rest of the cars the
best possible arrangement. Mr. Rad
ford does not believe in the champagne
dinner selling policy and has no pa
tience with that sort of thing.

1918 LOCOMOBILE
HAS NEW ELECTRIC
STARTING SYSTEM

Since the 1918 Locomobile was an
nounced last summer the engineers of
the company have developed new
electric motor starter. For three years
Investigations and tests have been go
ing ON at the Bridgeport works, and
the engineering department has tested
in its complete laboratories devices of
all sorts intended to do away with
hand -cranking.
An early conclusion of the Locomo-
bile engineers was that electricity was
the best means of producing a motor
starter that would start a big six
cylinder engine, even if it happened to
be on dead-center. The electric motor
starter adopted for the Locomobile con-
sists of the Gray & Davis six-volt
starting motor and new plunger switch,
in combination with 15S parts manu-
featured and built by the Locomobile
Company. The thoroughness which is
characteristic of Locomobile methods
Is evident in the pains taken with the
installation of the electric motor
starter
The countershaft of the starting
mechanism is chrome nickel steel
hardened and ground, and running on
ball bearings instead of plain bearings.
The gears are made throughout by the
Locomobile Company of specially treat
ed chrome nickel steel.
Another interesting feature of the
Locomobile installation is the mounting
of the starting motor on the bronze en-
CINE base, which makes it practically
an integral part of the power plant, and
thus keeps it always in alignment AS
result, with such precautions, the Lo-
comobile starter operates very quietly
The Locomobile starter will turn over
the engine from 20 to 80 revolutions per
minute, and is so powerful that no en-
CINE can back fire against it. The Lo-
comobile engineers are in favor of the
use of lighting dynamo especially in
use for lighting only, and q separate
starting motor especially designed to
give the best results for self starting.

Evers is unable to understand
this opinion, and charges it to

Chance was probably giving
his honest opinion, as he had
perfect right to do Even if
there were malice In it, there is a
belief among many fans that it is
