THE RIGHT COLE CLUBs

The player who is inclined to slice
should not play with an upright club;
he should choose one with a medium
or even fiat lie. and he should also see
that there is not too much heel on the
face of the club. In fact, he would be
well advised to have as much as pos
sible taken off.
The reverse applies to player who
hooks; he should not play with fiat
lying club or a club with the least bit
of hook on the face; he should choose
medium or upright lie and should
have the face of the club almost paral-
lei with the shaft. Very frequently a
club with a little more spring in the
shaft than usual will greatly assist a
player who is troubled with chronic
hooking. Regarding the length and
weights of clubs, as long as the player
does not go to extremes, say, for in
stance. he does not use any wooden
clubs longer than forty-four incheSyor
shorter than forty-two inches between
thirteen ounces and fourteen ounces,
it is almost n matter of fancy and ex-
perience Almost any kind of player
could adapt himself to these styles of
clubs. A fairly accurate guide is the
weight and strength of the player. A
strong heavy man can, of course, use
a powerful club and have a good deal
of success; n man of slighter build
should use lighter club with, perhaps,
a little spring in the shaft-May Out

And just what should l say

And how is it to know?

Please answer right away

From start till close of day.

The whole day long oppressed

ALL AT ONCE
by Wing Dingcr

BY jove, when things begin to go
There is no stopping them.
1t makes no difference how hard
Their tide you try to STEM
For instance, up at our house
I've had to have repaired
The sidewalks, where cement has
cracked
And left the concrete barred.
Then last night to the storage room
/ thought that 1 would skip
And get my awnings out, and, gee,
In each there was a rip.
thought perhaps twas possible
To sew each bloomin' tear,
But no, the cloth had rotted, bo,
They're all beyond repair.
And as I at the corner stood
To-day waiting the car
sized my home up carefully
And got another jar.
The mansard roof has lost some slate,
And color is quite faint
In all the woodwork, which must have
A brand new coat of paint.

WHEN FISH BEGIN TO BITE
BY Harry M. Dean.

When Springtime comes a-creepin'
round,
Just easy-like an slow,
I'm out diggin' up the ground
For bait with which to go
A-fishin'; an I'm here to say,
| do not care a mite
For work. I'm sure to run away
When fish begin to bite.
If you have ever been a boy
You'll know just how ] feel:
You've known, l hope, the wondrous
joy
When one can softly steal
Away from all one has to do
An sit until the night
Comes creepin' down, a-warnin' you
When fish begin to bite.
There's some folks who don't like to
fish,
Who say they'd rather rest.
Well. l am sure that's not my wish,
For l like fishin' best.
I never get enough. and so
| find it rare delight
To gather up my lines and go
When fish begin to bite.

START SWATTING

IT does not require DR. Howard's sta
L ers of the house fly to demonstrate
the necessity of starting early in
the campaign against this nuisance.
Better results can be accomplished
right now, and henceforward through
the Spring, than by a spasmodic fight
against the fly in the summer time.
For purposes of illustration it was
set forth that the killing of one fly
cut off more than 5000, 900, 600, 600
descendants. Or. to state it otherwise,
with a single swing of a folded news
paper the process of infesting the
was stopped. This gives an idea of
what one fly means early in the year.
Every one killed now is a greater gain
towards sanitation than hundreds
killed in July or thousands
killed in August. If a COM
each fly reported dead would be worth
more to the contestant than a thou
sand time as many six months from
new.
The fact that 1000, 900 flies were
killed last summer in the Swat the
Fly" crusade does not guarantee a fly
less city this season. 1t helped, of
course, and the city is cleaner and
healthier in consequence, and there
will be fewer flies this Spring. What
is needed now is follow-up fight
against the survivors and their prog
eny. The fiyless city will come as a
result chiefly of springtime work, and
this will be good year to start it. For
the present the thing to do is to watch
for the flies, kill them whenever they
are seen. and at the first opportunity
clean out the trash from cellars and
yards, and above all to screen all
stable pits and thus deprive the fly of
its most effective breeding places.
Put in yeur house screens. Keep
out the flies and thus protect your own
home.

by the Police Department to the roller

in different parts of the city there is
bound to be deplorable tragedy. Some
of the paved streets most used by au-

be allowed, then it should be restricted

less danger of accident from automo-
biles and motorcycles.

growing and widespread interest
throughout the city in flowers and
beautiful lawns and the planting of

not confined to any one class; it per-

sections of the city. With the cleaning
up of the refuse of the winter there
should come a general planting of

GAMBLING In STOCKS

~ ECENT activities in Wall Street
X Indicate that the gambling spirit
i - is still rampant and that so long
as there are lambs to fleece there
will be those to shear them. One
large industrial concern, prosperous
through large orders from the bel
ligerent nations of Europe, has been
the storm center of a skyrocketing
gambling spree such as has not been
known for several years. Referring to
this activity on the exchange and the
pell-mell rush of the lambs toward
the shearer. an investment house says:
While a great many of the trans
actions nowadays represent gam
bling operations pure and simple,
now and then a genuine buyer ap-
pears even at the present nigh
prices.
But Notwithstanding these state
ments from those who are upon the
inside of the stock exchange, the gam
bling spirit has seized scores and hun
dreds of men and women who imagine
that they can beat the gambler at his
own game. Professional operators are
now on the side of the bulls in the
market and the lambs-otherwise the
uninitiated outsiders-are furnishing
these operators delightful holiday.
AS has been suggested by one of the
brokerage experts, the speculative inn
agination of the buying public has
been aroused and those who Vainly
believe they can beat the gay deceiv-
ers of Wall Street are plunging as they
have not plunged since the last great
orgy in stock gambling several years
ago.
With the growing confidence among
all classes of people in the funda-
mental soundness of American busi-
ness it is a comparatively easy matter
for experienced stock jobbers to in
huence speculation such as has been
going on for several weeks. But it
sometimes becomes question whether
Wall Street is financial benefit to the
country or a positive menace to it's
prosperity.
1t is, however, the honest conviction
of many potential leaders in industry,
finance and commerce that the United
States has struck rock bottom, and
despite the distrust of the Wilson
administration and the eXasperating
policy of congressional interference
better times are at hand.
