HOW TO BECOME STEADY AT
 GOLF

In the July American Magazine Jerome D. Travers, four times anna teur golf champion of America, writes an interesting and instructive article entitled "The Secret of Steady Golf" He tells many stories of his own personal experiences in championship play with experts and following is q brief extract from his general ad- vice
 There is no such thing for any man as eternal steadiness, but there is no reason why most golfers shouldn't develop a much greater steadiness than is shown. It is all matter of practicing two thngs-the proper use of the club, and cOncen tration. or nerve control. Remember, at each practice. or during each friendly round. to try to make your brain work as well as your arms and legs. Remember, above all other fac tors, that it is vital to the success of the shot that you keep your head still-often referred to as looking at the ball Make it a point to school your brain as well as your muscles, for the brain is in cotnrol of the muscle The golfer who can't con centrate, who doesn't practice con

AD-CENSOR MAY
 BE NEW OFFICE
Douglas Does Away With Fake Directory Man -, Globe Takes Up Scheme. Phoenix May Be Inter cStcd in the Measure

Recent activity by the Douglas chamber of commerce and mines against the fake advertising solicitor, has caught on in Globe. and is appar- entlv about to become the subject of some interest here. Douglas business men grew weary of the unscrupuolous directory ad man and others, and has made out a form of censor blank, which efficiently ties down all un- worthy solicitors. and makes his row indeed hard to hoe.
 Oscar K Coll, secretary of the chamber. has been made official cen Sor and with him works an inVestigat ing committee Before anyone can get by with the business men Of Douglas. on any advertising scheme. he must pass a test before this committee, and his rating on a blank issued by Coll. determines pretty accurately the amount of luck he will have with his business.
 The blank is not intended as an en- dorsement In fact. it has no space on t for any laudatory statements anent the business of the solicitor But if such business is not considered repu- table and worthy, the solicitor gets certain black marks on his certifi- cate. and those marks speak for them selves to the men among whom he seeks his trade.
 The mildest form of statement con tained on the certificate is that the committee finds nothing undesirable about the project.
 Secretary Welch of the Chamber of Commerce has received some blanks, together with certain writings about how they are used Suppose a man comes along with a directory proposi- tion. He butts up against a bunch of cold suspicion on the part of the bus inessmen unless he is equipped with one Of the censor cards. And unless his proposition can pass muster. he gets no card. or else his card totes no very encoura ging statement by the censor. So. the sale Of ad-space on directories and similar publications is limited to bona fide solicitors, usually agents of some reputable firm.
