" HERE is no other game like golf.
no game that is so fascinating
no game that furnishes US with
such endless subjects for discussion.
and. abO~e all, no other game that
makes US such victims of our own I'M
aginatiOn, says the World of Golf. We
golfers are full of the most eXtraordi-
nary fads and fancies in regard to our
methods of playing the shots and the
tools we use for the purpose The most
amusing part of it all is that the bet
ter the player the more imaginative
and the more faddy he is apt to be.
The professional is the faddiest OF all.
Some years ago when the kite" ball
was so popular I remember some ANA
tours discussing the merits of various
balls. The best player of the lot said
there was no ball he could play with so
we'll as the kite" I asked him what
about the g." He said it was no
good-too soft, bad putting bail. not
round. etc. Now, as a matter of actual
kite" It was made by the same
firm and guaranteed to be precisely
the same in every respect.
once sent four balls to profess
siOnal who is right at the top of the
tree. His name is a household word
wherever golf is played. These four
balls were as nearly alike in every
detail as human hands could make
them. except that they wers each
marked with a differently colOred spot.
He was asked to give his opinion on
each ball. His reply some days later
was to this effect: He had carefully
tested the balls and found that the blue
spot was an excellent ball in every re-
spect. if flew we'll and was good for
approaching and putting; the green
spot was not a bad ball, but not as
good as the blue; the black spot scared
too much. and the red spot was right
out of it altogether. He could not get
it to fly within 20 yards of the others.
I am quite certain that he did thor
oughly try the balls, and the opinion
he expressed was not arrived at hur-
riedly.
I heard professional say he could
not use drOp-fOrged iron heads because
they were too soft Another player
minute or so later told me they were
so hard they Jared his hands. I have
one iron in my bag which IS drop
forged. 1t is a favorite club, and L
have used it for years without detect
ing the slightest difference from hand
forged, and I would defy any one to
tell by using it that it was drOp-fOrged.
I suppose that imagination plays
such an important part with US be-
cause we know that the most triflinS
thing Will put US off our game. Con-
sequenuy, we attribute an absurd i'm
pOrtance to minor details which really
would not affect us one way or the
other if we never thought of their ex-
istence.

chamber OF commerce received a re-
quest from the railway people to Sc
cure information relative to the
amount Of shipping done from this
point each a and to have this
placed before them at some early
date. This work was at once be-
gun and completed and a committee
appointed to go before the officials Of

A HUNDRED MILLION
H00KW0RM CAUSE
World Wide Campaign Plan
ned by Rockefeller
Enormous Endowment Will Be
Used Thus as Soon as Con-
gress Grants Charter
(By the Associated PreSs.)

Washington, d. c., Jan. ia
world wide campaign for the eradica-
zion Of the .hookworm" will be one
Of the first uses TO which the $780,
600, 900 endowment OF the proposed
Rockefeller foundation will be applied
as soon as it receives its charter from
Congress, according to Jerome d.
Greene. OF New York, a trustee in
several Of Jno. ID. Rockefeller's phil
anthropies, who is here urging the
passage Of the enabling act.
The House will vote mex Monday on
the proposed measure calling into ex-
istencc the organization, which under
The control Of Congress would be au-
thorized to spend Mr.. Rockefeller
millions for the advancement Of civ
ization by humanitarian means.
"To wipe out the .hookworm," said
Mr.. Greene tonight. sit will be
necessary not only to cure the present
sufferers. but also to inculcate n diff
fuse much knowledge Of the laws Of
hygiene and sanitation as will grad
ually make reinfection impossible.
But when that is done in this country
the york will be only partially accom-
plished; for unless the hookwOrm can
be eradicated from those points in
foreign lands which now, through the
ordinary channels Of commerce, are
constantly distributing infection all
over the world. the hookworm is
bound to reappear again and again.
Must BE World Wide.
The campaign for it's eradication
must, therefore, be made a world
campaign-nOt for %altruistic motives
merly, but because no one country can
be safe until all have been cleared Of
this pest"
The campaign against the hook
worm has hitherto been carried on in
this country alone by the sanitary
commission for the eradication Of
hookworm operating on a fund Of
100000 given by Mr.. Rockefeller.
The commission, Mr.. Greene says, is
now approaching the end of its re-
sources.
"Manifestly," he declares. these
cannot be r~eplenished by the Rookie
Teller foundation unless that founda-
ton is brought into existence: and as
the work has hitherto been entirely
dependent upon Mr.. Rockefeller for
financial aid. there may be danger
that its activities will be greatly cur
tailed or even stopped altogether I'M
less the pending bill becomes a law"
Mr.. Greene says that it is possible
that further funds for the extension OF
the agricultural development work OF
the South which has been carried on
py the general education board found
ed by Mr.. Rockefeller in
tlon with the department of agHicul-
Iure Will be supplied by the Rookie
Teller foundation when it is estab-
lishcd.
