a new plan to encourage young
fellers to learn how to fly" said Louis
Birsky the real estater as he laid down
the morning paper in Wasserbauer's
Restaurant.
"What was the old plan?" Barnet
Zapp the waist manufacturer asked.
"Well." Birsky replied, Il suppose
he took the young Teller to one side
and said: Listen, be a sport. You

"And naturally the young Teller
wasn't encouraged" Barnet Zapp sug-
gested.
Naturally" Birsky said. $50 now
the president of the Airy-O Club says:
'Looky here, why don't you learn 1t
flying in an airy-Oplane and after you
graduate would get you and two
thousand Of your classmates to fly
from here to San Francisco, and who
arrives first gets $20.OOO?
"Aber suppOsing the Teller don't ar
rive first?" Zapp inquired.
"Then that's his funeral" Birsky
said.
"Well then where does the encour-
agement come in?" Zapp commented.
Furthermore, Birsky. this here pres
ident Of the Airy-O Club Of America
has got 1t wrong. The thing to do Is
not to encourage young fellers to learn
1t flying In an airy-Oplane but to DIS
courage EN-"
"Well, what he said in the first
place didn't sound so encouraging to
me-" Birsky said.
"What he said was all right" Zapp
admitted, "but he didn't lay no pipes
for 1t. For instance, If would be the
president of the Airy-o Club of Amer
lea and I wanted young Teller he
should be an airy-Onaut, understand,
l would find out where the young fell

would then fix things so that the girl

nothing to do with him no more.

evidence why his father should throw
him out of the house. and when l got
the young Teller absolutely in despair,

going to buy the poison he is figuring
on taking, would say to him: Lis

couldn't rely on pOisOns no more.
Save your money and try something

"Aber not considering the funny
side of this thing, Zapp, why is 1t we

"It's a question from etiquette"
Zapp replied. "Over in Europe IL a

CRIMSON FRESH
 AND SECOND WIN
Harvard 0arsnlen Take Both Morning Events on the Thames

Regatta Course, New London, June won thrilling victory over Yale in their two mile race over the Thames course today. Overtaking the Yale men in the last half mile the Crimson bladed oarsmen flashed into the front and slid over the finish line three quarters of a length ahead of their rivals. Yale lead until near the fin- ish when her crew seemed to tire and go to pieces. The race was rowed in rought water.
 The official times of the race was:
 Harvard 10:36 3-5. Yale 10:39.
 The Harvard oarsmen also took the second contest of the day, defeating the Yale second varsity crew in a two mile race by two lengths. The un- official time of the winner was ten minutes and twenty seconds.
 The contest was drive from the start to the finish through rough water. Yale caught the water first, darted out into the lead and held it for the first half mile Then Harvard pulling a strong even stroke began to pull up on her rival and passed her. Yale responded with a spurt and cut down Harvard's lead to less than 8 boats length at the mile.
 Yale again spurted but could gain but little and Harvard near the fin- ish began to pull away and led the way over the finish line two lengths in the lead.
 The Harvard supporters on the ob- servation train split the air with cheers for the double victory of the morning.

 Propaganda Against U. s.
 Further indications that the Mexi- can people are being told that the United States is the aggressor in the present crisis and that Mexico has the moral support of all foreign na- tions were contained today in the fol- lowing despatches to the local con- sulate from the official information bu- reau in Mexico City:
 Over night reports from along the border were more or less routine in character. An increasing activity of both troops and civil populations in Mexican towns was indicated, however. Some interest was manifested in or ders issued by the de facto consular offices instructing Mexicans in their districts to return to Mexico at once.
 From several of the larger border ports today came reports that an embargo is to be placed on the export of foodstuffs in large quantities.
 Early today a rumor spread through Fl Paso that 8 detachment of Gen. Pershings command had engaged Car ranza troops near Namiquipa This was denied, however, by local military authorities and by the base command CT at Columbus. Mexicans Near Columb bus Columbus, N. M, June 23.-Amer- ican scouting patrols reported to nili- tary headquarters today that a small l detail of Carranza troops was en- camped about twenty miles south of Columbus. Efforts to determine whether the force was the advance guard of some of the forces which 1 evacuated Juarez yesterday were fu- tile. While extra sentrtes were post l ed no great apprehension for the safe ty of this camp was manifested. l Mexican customs officials at the "border gate" three miles south packed their households goods on the backs of burros today and disap- ] peared over the hills in the directi on 1 of Juarez.

GOLF GOSPEL TRUTHS.
Negotiating the Stymie With
the Mashie.
BY STRAIGHT DRIVE.

Through ,ut the lard this spring
MANY golf clubs are making it manila
tory that all stymies must be played
in the stated competitions. in accord
with the suggestions of the United
States Golf Association. 1t seems a
move for the uplift in the game. for 1t
is always better in sport to adhere to
all that is time-honored in the forms
and spirit of game rather than to
rend the rules to please those who take
the negative side of the controversy for
reasons that may possibly be due to
chaerin at their inability to negotiate
a stymie.
The .'uplift" in the triumphant nego-
tiation of the stymie must be with a
mashie 1t happens at times that one
may slip past the intervening ball by
a borrow from the ground or by the
dangerous plan of trying to knock the
impeding ball away, with sort or
pocket billiards follow shot. but the
percentage is vastly in favor of one
practicable stroke being to pitch your
ball over that of the opponent.
How the balls lie is detail to be
studied, naturally. for there is no putt
ever made on green unless the OPP
ponent has holed out, when PLAYER
must not consider the position of both
balls But with the stymie the rela-
tive places of the two spheres are an
all-important consideration. Yet. after
all, this is detail to be solved by the
golfer who finds it is up to him to
break a stymie, and the deft manipu-
lation of the mashie will always ac-
complish the stroke-the "uplift'-
with triumph.
Hold the shaft firmly with. the fin
gers and try to get snap of the
wrists into the impact. Play with the
ball near the right foot. as you face
the hole, and take the clubhead back

close to the turf after addressing the
ball and deciding the force with which
you must play. The stroke should he
a sharp tap, leaving it to the mashie
to do the lifting up, but follow through
on the straight line to the hole after
the impact.
Your ball will jump the intervening
one easily if you do not bungle the
stroke. and it has two chances always
of dropping into the cup. 1t may drop
in from the pitch, or drop short and
roll into the hole. In either case the
successful holing out is a stroke to be
recalled ever after with an exultation
only equaled, because of it's greater
rarity. by holing out an approach from
off the green.
There is no need to worry over what
may happen if you miss the stroke
The loss of the stroke will proba bly,
cost you the hole, and the penalty can
be no worse if by mischance you knock
the opponents ball into the cup. So
make the attempt with equanimity: that
If you fail to break the stymie it will
cost the hole is the risk that should
be spur to the endeavor.
