GOLFING HINTS.
BY ~sTRAIGHT DRIvE.s

GRIP FIRMLY.-Nearly every
novice starting to play golf col
lects a fine array Of water blis-
ters and sore spots by trying to
hold the club tightly in his hands.
He takes a deathlike grip. which
prevents him making a correct
swing.
After he has found that the club
. will not fly away from him and
been told that he cannot hit prop
erly II the muscles Of his hands
and arms are as rigid as he can
make them, he commences to real
ize Just a glimpse of what is ex-
pected Of him in gripping the
club.
The club must be held firmly In
the left hand to prevent 1t turn
ing, and with the right hand just
tight enough to permit 1t to act
as a guide and como into the
stroke SO as to balance the ac-
tion Of the two hands, making
them work as nearly as possible
like a single hand.
Some players find It useful not
to grip the club tightly until they
start the actual back swing.
Tightening the left hand then
will tend to get the left wrist
nicely into the stroke.

REALTY VALUES
UP $4O,OOO,0OO
Three Years. Increase Boosts
the Total in District to
$3.50, 600, 900.

An advance in real estate values in
the District Of Columbia during the
last three years amounting to approx
imately $40.000.0O0 is shown by the
triennial assessment of this class OF
property which was formally trans
mitted to the Commissioners today by
the board Of equalization and review.
The valuation for the fiscal year 1915.
which will serve as the basis for real
estate taxation during the three years
beginning in November, amounts to
approximately $3sO,000,o0o.
The increased values, which are shown
principally In the business section, had
been anticipated. They do not establish
a new mark. as nearly twenty years ago
q forty-four-million-do dollar raise was re-
corded. Three years ago the jump in
valuation amounted to $37.oO0.oo0
Appeals Break Record.
All records were broken this year,
however, in the number Of appeals sub
mitted. The board considered 4.500 ap-
peal cases, or about twice a. many as
three years ago. Ninety per cent Of the
changes ordered were reductions. The
appeal period lasted from the first Mon
day in January until the first Monday
in June.
While the business section Of the city
Is credited with the bulk of the increases.
advances have been made in the residen-
tial sections. particularly on 18th street.
Massachusetts, avenue extended and 14th
street northwest. Increases also have
been made in the suburban districts.
Business Increases.
In tho business section changes have
been made principally between 7th and
10th streets and from D street north to
H street. Here valuations have been
raised in varying proportions and amount
to an increase Of several million dollars:
The work Of the board probably has
been more carefully pursued than in
any previous year, according to William
p. Richards, assessor, who stated that
the board made every effort to eQualize
assessments where inequalities were dis
covered.
Members of the board, in addition to
Mr Richards. are the five assistant as

He has Just reached Chihuahua and

tion and urge harmony. and denied he
had been authorized to threaten an
American invasion in the event that
Villa and Carranza did not compose
ther differences.

send 100000 American troops into
Mexico unless Villa and Carranza came
to an agreement, and also gave the
Carbajal government guarantees of an
amnesty. brought an official denial to-
day from the White House.
What actually happened. according to
off1cials, was this:
A request came in an indirect way
from the Carbajal government invit-
ing the United States to send troops
from Vera Cruz to Mexico City to pre-
vent the expected excesses of the con-
stitutionalists on reaching the Mext-
can capital.
The request precipitated long cab
met discussion. Many members favor
ed accepting it, but President Wilson
stood out firmly against it. feeling
that American troops would surely be
drawn into conflict with the then ap-
preaching constitutionalists. and urgent
messages were sent to Carranza, point
ing out the dangers of battle at Mex
leo City, but in none of the communi-
cations, 1t was stated officially, was
any threat made to send American
troops
