CURING SLICE IN GOLF.
An Expert Suggests Some Remsdies
For q Troublesome Habit.

An Expert Suggests Some Remedies
For a Troublesome Habit.
The slice is unfortunately a common
fault at golf, destroying all hope OF
accuracy as well as distance in the
drive, The remedy becomes obvious
as soon as the cause OF slicing is thor
oughly understood. That it Is due to
horizontal rotation of the ball in its
fight is unquestiOnable. from the an
alogy OF the curved ball IN baseball.
The question is as to how this motion
Of rotation is impaired TO the ball
The remedy lies either In eliminat-
Ing the twist Of the wrists or In CON-
pensation for 1t by turning the club
In the hands while addressing the ball.
lf you are confirmed slicer turn the
club In the hands so that the face
slants sharply inward while the hands
and arms are otherwise held In the usu-
al position. Address the ball with the
club in this position and then swing
as usual. You will be agreeably sur
prised to see straight ball or a pull.
A few trials will serve to determine
the position OF the club in addressing
the ball which will give the desired
straight shot.
All the curves, the slice, the pull and
the rise. are sharply emphasized in long
shots. The sharp, hard blow of rapid
stroke sets up n much more rapid rota-
ton Of the ball just as in the billiard
shots,-E. X. Stuart in Outing Maga-
| zine.

cards and literature and soliciting
votes?
Isn't ii true that since July, 1913,
the county fruit inspectors, contrary
to law, have been allowed a flat ex-
pense allowance OF SO per day, re-
sardless of whether their actual ex-
penses have reached that sum or not?
Isn't it true that while the law re-
quires no money be paid the fruit
inspectors unless vouchers for the
same have been presented to the dis
trict commissioner and certified by
him: that for the past nine months
expense money has been paid without
this portion of the law being COM
piled with in any particular?
The court records show that in
August, 1913, Chief Fruit Inspector
j. w. Myers presented his claim to
District Commissioner Carson for $50
wages and s23.65 for gasoline, or a
total of SS3.65, which was acknowl-
tuStu dS IOlIOWS.
Murphy, Ore, Sept. 2, 1918.
Jackson County, Oregon.
Gentlemen: ] hereby certify that
on this date have examined the
financial account of J. w. Myers,
county fruit inspector for Jackson
county, for the month of August.
1913. That there is legally due him
the sum of $S3.65. That | recon-
mend he be paid this sum.
A. H. CARSON,
Fruit Commissioner, Third District.
For the same month a claim not
sent Mr.. Carson, but presented to the
county court for the same sum OF
$50 by Mr.. Myers, was paid by the
county court, making a total of
$143.65 expense for the twenty days
work
The county records show that J.
w. Myers in October, 1913, received
similar certification for the month
of September for SIS and $319S for
expense, and the same month present
ed a claim to the county for this
same sum, SIS, and it was allowed,
making the total expense to the coun-
ty for Mr. Myers services for this
month s1S79S.
Is this legal too? Is this good bus
mess or good sense? Will the county
court exjlain this to the satisfaction
of the taxpayers?
II these facts can all be proved.
and they can; if they are matter of
court record, and they are, is the
county court justified in maintaining
J. c. Smith should he be renominated
and reelected, because the efficiency
of the county court cannot be in
creased?

Is Ii Legal?
(Medford Sum-

The law provides SO a day and
inspectors, who are named by the
district horticultural commissioner
There is no limit to the expense that
can be legally allowed inspectors. -
Judge Tou Velle in Medford Mail
Tribune.
Perhaps this accounts for the fact
that nearly $40 a day is now being
paid for county fruit inspection.
Judge Tou Velle declares there is no
legal limit
May we take the liberty of calling
the judges attention to the following
extract from the General Lave of
Oregon, 1913, chapter ia, section
54S4?
Such county inspector shall be
paid for his services the sum of SO
per day, and his actual necessary ex-
penses incurred in the performance
of his duties"
Does this mean that fruit inspect
or can be paid SO a day for distribut-
ing Smith campaign literature
through the orchards, for riding in
an orchardists' automobile or being
the guest of an orchardist for lunch? /?
But Judge Tou Velle declares the
present method is legal. How about
this section OF the law?
The county inspector and each
deputy inspector shall report monthly
to the commissioner of the State
Board of Horticulture of the district
in which he is employed, the time for
which he is entitled to pay during
the month for which such report is
made, and statement of his actual
necessary expenses incurred in the
performance of his duties,
with vouchers for such expenses, and
the commissioner shall certify the
same to the county court of the coun.
ty before such compensation and ex
penses shall be paid"
Has this been done? Isn't this the
law? Then is Judge Tou Velle cor
rect in attempting to repudiate Mr.
Madden, by calling 1t legal?
To our mind the law is plain, and
the duty of the county court plain
The whole business of fruit inspection
should be not only legal but system
atized and conducted on a sound bus
mess basis
Paying inspectors SO a day for ex
penses, whether their actual expenses
amount to that or not, Is not onl!
against the law, but against common
business sense.

simply returned to the oft repeated

has yet to take issue with Mr.. Mad
den on other grounds.

PUTNAM'S REASONING
FOR JOE SMITH

Editor Putnam, through his Mail
Tribune, is making a desperate effort
to keep the present personnel of the
county court intact. For what reas-
ons we are at a loss to know. Mr..
Frank II. Madden is a candidate for
county commissioner against Mr..
Smith, the present incumbent, and
Mr.. Putnam and his Mail Tribune ap-
pear to desperately resent the intru-
sion of Mr.. Madden into the fold.
The campaign is growing hot at Med
ford and elimination is freely in
dulged, the main charge being that
the present county court is absolutely
dominated by Mr.. Putnam-in fact,
the friends OF Mr.. Madden charge
that George Putnam is the county
court as matters now stand-and
Madden promises If nominated and
elected to be the tool of no man. He
is a prosperous fruitgrower and has
the confidence Of the people and the
backing OF those who feel that strict
er business rules should be applied
in handling county business.
The following from the Medford
Sun sheds light on the campaign:
Can't the Efficiency of the County
Court BE Increased?
In opposing the nomination Of
Frank H. Madden, the members of
the county court have declared their
entire satisfaction with the efficiency
of that body.
To substantiate this claim, they
have undertaken to justify their rec
ord in every particular, claiming their
acts legal, economical and altogether
desirable.
Undoubtedly the final statement
the county court in their effort to
retain their body intact will appear
this evening too late under the cor
rupt practices act for Mr.. Madden's
supporters to present their side of
the case
Therefore, we hope we will not be
accused of making an ''insidious at
tack" upon the court If we present
the following questions with ample
time for them to be answered before
election:
Isn't it true that the county fruit
inspectors, while in the employ of the
county court at Sc day, have been
campaigning for J. c. Smith, mem7
ber of that court, distributing his

The law can be demonstrated geo
metrically by holding a square screen be-
fore an electric light emanating from a
small point, and letting its shadow fall
on a white wall. II the screen is half
way between the wall and the light the
shadow will have four times the area
OF the screen. This shows that when the
light falls uninterrupted on the wall the
same quantity is there spread over four
times as much surface as II covers at
half the distance. Consequently the in
tensity, or brightness, OF the light Is
diminished four times in travelling
double distance from its source.
II this law did not apply throughout
the universe the starry heavens at night
would blind us with their brilliance, and
the heat of the sun by day would be

 FOR ABUSING HORSE
One Dragged Il by Rope and
 Ohsr Beat Ii With Club

Stanley YankowsAi and Joseph costs by Judge James T. Meskill in police court this morning for cruelty to a horse. A similar charge against Frank Yankowski was nolled by Prosecuting Attorney George w. Klett. r
 Wesneski swapped horse for two other equines yesterday morning and with the assistance of Stanley Yankowski was leading, or dragging one of them to a farm in the south eastern section of the city where il was to be pastured. They lief, East Lawler street at 5:30 o'clock yester- day afternoon and were arres ed on the south end of Stanley street at 7:45 o'clock, after several who had op- served their treatment of the horse had informed the authorities.
 Wesneski was leading the equine by a rope tied around its neck. The rope was noosed and the loop was around the horses nose The animal was suffering from paralysis in one of it's legs and another leg was unfit for use. When the horse fell to the ground Wesneski dragged it to its feet by means of the rope and Yam kowski beat it with a club. The horse fell several times to the knowl- edge. of some of the witnesses.
 '.It was the worst case of cruelty to a dumb animal I ever heard or saw" said Chief Rawlings, who is the local agent of the Connecticut Hu- mane society Two of the witnesses were James Lawler, an employe of the Gulf Refining company, and John Dubruk boy.
 Wesneski and Yankowski tried to explain away their conduct, but Judge Meskill cut them short and ordered each to pay fine of $35 and costs.
 Henry Gordon of Seymour park was in court again, this time being charged with drunkenness and breach of the peace. Gordon was in court yesterday morning for creating a dis turbance at his home. He appeared penitent and said he would stop drinking. When he was placed on probation and released from custody he is said to have purchased bot tie of liquor By the time evening arrived he was in an ugly mood and, according to Mrs. Gordon, ordered her and their children out of the house and called her vile names. Of- ficer Fred Wagner placed him under arrest after Mrs. Gordon had com plained to police headquarters. Judge Meskill sent Gordon to jail for seven days.
