SECRET OF STEADY GOLF.
t Lies In Proper Use of the Club and
 Nerve Control.

NGENE SNAaAs SNs
 There is no such thing for any man as eternal steadiness, but there is no reason why most golfers shouldn't de- velop a much greater steadiness than is shown. It Is all a matter of prac- ticing two things-the proper use of the club and concentration. or nerve control.
 Remember at each practice or dur ing each friendly round to try to make your brain work as well as your arms and legs. Remember, above all other factors. that 1t is vital to the success or the shot that you keep your head stll' often referred to as looking at the ball" Make 1t a point to school your brain as well as your muscles, for the brain is in control of the muscles. The golfer who can't concentrate, who doesn't practice concentration, will never be able to develop steadiness, al- though he may be a fine shot maker and may be capable of some wonder ful rounds.
 So, to put a few suggestions into compact, concrete form, the following are offered to those who desire change for the better in their golfng steadi- ness or unsteadiness:
 First.-Practice concentration-keep- ing your mind on the ball as well as your eye.
 Second.-Make up your mind to ac- cept a bad lie or some bad luck as part of the game and to be expected.
 Third.-Play each shot as it comes, without regret over past mistakes or worry over future troubles.
 Fourth.-Pracdce the short game, shots around the green, at every pos slble chance. It is here that scores are reduced.
 Fifth.-Practice with the brain as we'll as with the arms and legs. Gull tivate brain control over muscle.-Je- rome D. Travers in American Maga- zine

THE STROLLER
E. J. White.

Until the Stroller attended the
 Horticultural fair at Skagway last Saturday he never so fully realized the ttUthfulness of the old say ing: What is put into the first Of life is put into all of life" For example:
 When the Stroller was young and tender he was herded on a farm along with other green and grow ing farm products which were his daily associates. In daylight he mingled with growing corn and cab bage, ate cOrned beef and cabbage at dinner and dreamed of corn and other agricultural growths at night. On Sundays when he was wont 10 dress up and sit demure- ly in Sunday school his Sunday shoes irritated corns on his toes and. in later years and when en- deayOring to enlighten a benighted South, he had considerable to do w''h corn Whiskey. He was just as familiar with other farm products as he was with corn and while at the Skagway fair and in the midst of various growths there displayed, he realized the many advantages his early training was to him, To the Stroller it was easy to distinguish such notables as senator Tanner, Col. Shaw, Major Abrahams and other Skagway Iuminaries from ruta bagas, mushrooms and cabbage, whereas a city-grown person would have been puzzled to designate one from the other. It was on account of the Stroller's knowledge of things agricultural that he was se- lected as a judge in the vegetable department of the fair and 1t was due to his decisions, based on un- swerYing fairness and inherent hon esty that many exhibitors, rose up in their wrath and sought to slay him for not giving them awards. While the Stroller might have been open to approach" by exhibitors, he was only spoken to by one of thme and in that case only a cigar was offered. It was not a good cigar, either. Under the circum- stances he decided honesty was the best policy. The Stroller abhors man who can be bought for a cigar, especially if it is a domestic ci- gar.
 The finest, biggest, most solid and best built cabbage heads dis played at the fair were labeled Stroller Variety" and of this the latter is very proud. In the Pos som Trot neighborhood in Florida the Stroller had several babies and many dogs, also numerous varieties of swamp fever, named for him but it remained for Skagway to em- blazon his name in the cabbage department of her Horticultural fairs

Omitted Press Staff Correspondent. }
PARIS, Feb. 2O.--(By Mail to New
York )-"Rue de la Paix"-the
street OF Peace"-has Just declared
war. II Is against the Germans.
This street. the creative center OF
the worlds fashions, the home OF the
worlds most famous dressmakers
the throne from which the latest die.
tates Of sartOrlal elegance are meted
out to wOmankind at large. has just
discovered like most OF the allies al
the beginning OF the war that its very
existence was being threatened by
the Germans.
Since the beginning Of the war a
minute investigation has been con.
Quoted in Paris to ascertain every
business house and every line OF in.
dustry In which Germans are inter.
ested. The most amazing result "a
date has been the discovery OF the
extent TO which during the past few
years Germans have come into con-
troll OF Paris most famous millinery
houses.
Although Paris still boasted OF tell
Ing the rest OF the world what to
wear. 1t was really German and not
French who were doing the telling.
Most OF the Partisan millinery houses
retained the French name under
which they had become world-famous
although It was German capital and
brains that were running them. Only
a few were known under the German
name of their owners.
The sentiment aroused in all
France against this German invasion
OF the field OF Partisan fashion came
to a climax with the Madame Bech-
off scandal. Her house OF Bechoff-
David is In the Place Vendome which
opens out in the center of the Rue
de la Paix. Having created for her
shop "a position almost without equal
amongst the most exclusive and most
elegant OF the Partisan mnliners
she found 1t unnecessary to mask
under a French name.
In addition. although German Of
the German, she had given repeated
proofs OF her loyalty TO France. With
the outbreak OF the war her elegant
establishment was one of the very
first to be turned into a hospital for
the French wounded.
All this was forgotten and all OF
her position crumpled like a house
OF cards, however, with the arrest Of
France Desclaux, paymaster-treasurer
of the entire French army, and later
with her own arrest. Desclaux, II is
alleged. helped himself TO be more
appetizing viands Of the food sup
plies OF the French army and sent
them TO Madame Bechoff in order
that her larder might be we'll stocked
against any possible food famine at
Paris.
This was the last straw which
brought about definite action by the
Syndicate OF Partisan dressmakers--
probably the wealthiest and most
elegant syndicate in the world. An
Germans who in the past have sue
ceeded in getting into the organlza-
tlon are TO be expelled at once nor is
Il going to be possible in the future
for any German to secure the little
OF the syndicate which
alone can guarantee all that the word
Partisan means in matters Of dress.
