London, Jan. 31.-In reply to a
leaflet offering advice as to how do
nestle servants can help Britain, the
servants Of the fashionable west end
Of London have got out a pamphlet of
advice to mistresses, suggesting that
they:
1-Wear less expensive clothes.

3-Quit panperfng laydogs.
4-Smoke less, drink less expensive
wines and eliminate foods out of sea-

delicate animal and always needing
the services of a veterinary, would
support a starving and freezing child

Knitting Is more valuable to the coun-

mistress, the servants point out,
never thinks Of these things in con-
sidering means of economy. Her idea
is rather to curtail the small pay Of
the servants, or to reduce the num-
Der of the staff. putting the extra
work on the others. 1t would be well,
says the reply, to reduce the lap dogs

ting down on the amount of sugar
given the servants. Similarly. the
money spent in the lighting and heat
ing of clubs would more than pay for
the heating of servants cold rooms.

London, Jan. s1.-For the fourth
time since the European war began
the Carpathian mountains, between
Dulxla and 'wyszkew passes. is the
scene OF pitched battle. The pre-
vious CLASHES were between the Rus
SLAMS and Austro- Hungarians, but
now the latter have the assistance
OF the German armies and are taking
a vigorous offensive.
Despite this the Russian reports as
sert the preliminary fighting has turn
cd to the advantage OF the Russians
and that prisoners and guns have
been captured. simultaneously the
Austro- Germans are concentrating
their armies between Buckowina and
Transylvania to prevent the Russian
attempt to outflank them and also on
the Roumania and Serbian frontiers
to check any effort by the armies Of
those countries to take part In the
fighting.
The Russians are pushing their Of
fensive in East Prussia, while the
Germans continue their attack in Gem
trail Poland. However, these opera
tions are secondary to the Carpath
ian battle The latter's outcome Is
believed likely to have marked eff
feet on Tho war fntnre cp6tntlous.
The Russians again have defeated
the Turks In the Sari Kamysh region.
They crossed the mountain during the
snowstorm and after heavy fighting
captured commanding general and
his STAFF OF the Thirtieth Turkish d.
vision in addition to large quantity
OF war material.
To add to the Turkish difficulties
the Russian Black Sea fleet has bonn
barded the Turkish barracks at Treb-
ixond, Rizah, besides sinking several
Turkish sailing vessels used as trans
ports.
Except in the neighborhood OF La
bassee and Argonne. where the Ger
mans have resumed the attacks. ar
tiilery alone has been engaged on the
western front. The Germans again
claim TO have captured some trenches
near La Bassee, while tho French as
sert the British have reoccupied all
the ground temporarily lost.
Notwithstanding this 1t Is evident
the Germans intend breaking the lines
that guard the French coast ports. In
addition to the preparations, they are

The House of Commons, depleted in
numbers by the absence of $50 mem
bers at the front, will plunge at once
into the consideration OF the outstand-
ing estimates, which must be i'm
mediately passed upon. in view of the
early close of the financial year. Later
in the session, the Chancellor OF the
Exchequer, Lloyd George, will make
has annual statement, a matter of even
more Importance than usual, in view
of the financial necessities of the
war.
The House of Lords, which met
alone on January for a brief ses-
sion, will probably mark time for the
first day or two of the new session.
Some of the newspapers have crit
icised the government rather severe
1y for allowing a meeting OF the lords
while the House of Commons was not
sitting. One of the weekly Liberal pa
pers promises that some plain speak
in on this point will be heard when
the House of Commons reassembles.'

tions which the government will be
asked to answer regarding the con-
duct Of the war has been foreshadow-

Lords debate on January Z. suggested

To the middle-aged or elderly in
dividual who is about to take up
the game Of golf or who has been
playing it for some time without
making appreciable progress, I
would address some words Of advice.
I would suggest that, for a period
of two or three months, he should
abstain altogether from contesting
matches; that instead Of engaging
in rounds, he should devote his spare
hours entirely to learning the true
golf swing. BY no other means can
he hope to become a really good
player; if he adopts this procedure,
there is no sound reason why he
should not lay the foundation of
scratch form.
l am not drawing a fanciful picture
of the prospects in declaring that 1t is
possible for the average late beginner
to approach or attain a scratch game.
With the modern rubber-cored ball, the
physical strength which enjoys Its hey
day in youth. does not cosnt for nearly
SO much as 1t did In the age OF gutta-
percha ball. Then, undoubtedly. one
had to hit very hard in order to secure
the length that was essential to COM
plete success; there was such thing
as scientific pressing. AS every habitue
Of the links Is aware, pressing" Is a
| technical term. for the process Of tryinR
to hit harder than nature intends to do
When the gutta -percha ball was in
\ rfot1 hat ~ tts
tackled this problem 80 persistently
I that at length we mastered It; pressing
| became something of an art. There IL
absolutely no need for It in these day,
| Of the resilient ball, and In this respec,
, alone, the late beginner enjoys a grea,
| advantage over his predecessor OF the
guilty" age. 1t is the quiet. easy
swing so long as 1t be a true one-tha,
pays In present Gircumstanees; distance
makes downright hard work Of the game
| Is almost certain to be a failure.
Personally. ! think It is pity that
some Of the athletic qualities Have gone
tion in the Fact that there Is a far
better chance for anybody to be an
effective player than was the case fif-
teen tee ,y years ago: That; suppose. make: .
number and: therefore. the increased
prosperity Of the pastlme. I venture to
say that three months OF practice on
the right lines. with never a rout ia
interrupt the steady course OF evolution.
ought to put even the elderly convert
into a position in which he can shame
the golfer who has never submitted HIM
self to this term Of apprenticeship.
Be 1t remembered that with the gutta-
percha ball. men who learned the shots
before they tried to play them in
matches met with splendid successes.
I have read on good authority that
after Mr.. w. J. Travis had returned
absolutely the worst score that was re-
corded In the first competition in whicn
he took part, he did nothing for months
but practice. And he became a words s
champion. So, too, with Mr.. Charles

game at the age OF thirtytwo. and was
