most level of heads, and frequently
not even then.
THIS is the reason for the thermos
L bottle, II at all.
Professor Lyle Spencer. of Law
renee College-wherever THAT is
announces that he has discovered that
warming golf balls before use in
creases their resiliency q. E., bounce)
in an enormous degree. To prove
that his theory is not merely an
academic bunch, the professor, who
knows with which side of the club
TO hit the ball, warmed some speci-
mems of golf balls carried them in a
thermos bottle to the field of battle,
and with no particular effort belted
them almost out of sight. The fair
way being frozen at the time, the in
creased bouncing facilities also got in
their work and the PROFESSIONAL wal
lops were limited only by bunkers or
natural obstacles that cause the pro-
iectiles to change their course.
THE warming pan theory has
been applied to other missiles
with effect, over at the Atlanta Ath-
lc:ic club in cold weather, the hand
bah contingent speeds up tennis balls
by heating them at the radiators. The
effect of course. is to expand the air
vithin the shell of the ball. making It
? frmer and at the same time more
elastic cushion.
\ the matter of golf balls, we don't
quite get the prof.
The modern '1ively ball" Is made
very much like miniature baseball,
consisting of rubber shreds wrapped
tightly around core (of various
types) and the whole thing tightly
covered with a shell Of pure gutta
percha, about liz OF an inch in thick
ness
The core" in some ca ses Is of soap;
water Is used for the core of some
balls rubber for other; and the dan
geTous acid has nearly become obso-
lete. It is assumed that the resiliency
Of the ball is increased by heating, as
there naturally would be some shrink
age in GOLD weather, from the con-
traction of all the materials. The
artificial heat probably matches in the
rubber an iSsane desire to stretch.
and the impact of the blow is met by
a corresponding bound.
WE regret that the esteemed and
w probably renowned prof. didn't
supply his press agent with figures
concerning his drives.
In that event, we can easily imag-
inc a thermos bottle brigade vending

ests the fan Is to be welcomed at all
times,
FROM the players standpoint it is
also grand thing for anyone
with an ounce Of pride or ambition
will exert himself to the limit, know
ing that every play is likely to cut
some figure In the award OF the tro-
ply at the end of the season. and It is
a certainty that II is worth working
for by everybody. The beauty of It
is, that 1t keeps them all working
right up to the end. as you must not
only excel in one department, but in

Wentworth never even looked at her
neighbors. When Tige ran across her
garden a week later, she went to the
village authorities and invoked their
cooperation. There was not statute

CAR GOES 28.7 MILES
ON GALLON OF GASOLINE
Red Crown Shows Remarkable Test.
JUDGED by c. A. C.. Committee.

Judged by G. A.. G. committee.
Surprising results were obtained
Tuesday in Chicago, when. in a dis
lance test on the boulevards. a 1915
big six went 1871 miles on a gallon OF
Red Crown gasoline. The test was
made to demonstrate the fuel economy
of high test gasoline, by the technical
committee Of the Chicago Automobile
Club.
Red Crown gasoline, SIS test, was de-
cided upon by the judges and drivers
as the best gasoline to be used. All
through the trip the clutch was not
slipped. except when traffic congestion
made it necessary. The dash adjust
ment on the carburetor was discon-
nected, and in order that the test be
a fair one, the fan was in operation
throughout the run.
Next came the acceleration test.
With the %carburetor adjustment the
same as during the economy run, the
car was driven from standing start to
thirty miles an hour in Il As seconds.
The f1exibility test saw the car run
at four miles an hour, then speeded
up to forty-four.
The test proves that the six is not
an excessive fuel consumer, where the
best gasoline is used.
