caster into the metropolitan golfne
ring for the first time, Sidney Shar-
wood Of the Merton Cricket Club. Phila-
delphia, yesterday afternoon won the
gold medal in the qualifying round Of
the Lakewood Country Clubs spring
tournament. In so doing he nosed out
Fred Herreshof of New York by sin
gle stroke. The youthful Sherwood has
been prominent in his home district for
three or four seasons, during which
he has come to be considered brilliant
in streaks, but often cratic. He was
extremely steady yesterday. however,
seeming not at all disturbed by the
| chilling wind that swept the usually
protected stretches among the pines.
Indeed. the fall tournament here.
Thanksgiving week, has seldom brought
more trying conditions.
Herreshoff Shows Form.
| Fred Herreshoh, who was almost the
| only member of the old guard Of the
first flight to start, made what was
practically his first appearance in com

year. After a winters rest on the
Pacific coast he seemed quito the
Herreshoff OF yore in every respect. 1t
| is certainly long time since he has
! been in such good trim. Only twice did
| he falter, and but for putting his ball
| a couple OF times into the brook on the
second of the pond holes he would at
least have tied for low score. He hit a
! high spot on the sixth hole, only $40
| yards, taking six strokes there against
| par 4, which Sherwood equaled How
ever, he quickly steadied himself, and
after an Indifferent on the seventh

at the eleventh he miscalculated and,

Nevertheless he came back in SO, the

The Natural Position for the

All matters Of stance depend on the

Of pillory for a golfer who carries too
much weight; just as the position of
the man who is fully aware of the out
curve of his golf jacket as he faces

In each case the natural position is
the one that the golfer should endeavor

Practice under the eye of the club
professional and learn from him what
is your natural position. OddIas it may
seem, the knowledge does not come
naturally. it is not self-acquired. at

gin at golf is to be certain of hitting
the ball, but 1t takes more than good

AFTER studying several measles epidemics, was
unable to ind any evidence that this disease
was carried by lifeless objects or by people not
sick of the disease.
The same belief is held concerning
many other diseases. Chaplin. one of the great
est authorities on contagious disease, is exceed
ingly doubtful if lifeless objects commonly
spread disease Speaking of money as posi-
BILE disease carrier he says: There is no good
evidence that money has ever actually been the
means of spreading disease He has failed to
find any more contagious disease among bank
clerks, street conductors or treasury
employees than among other classes of people,
But disease still spreads.
And children and grown up people
who have contagious disease go about spreading
it. There are enough of them to account for all
the contagious disease we have. This is espec-
tally true because of another fact that is becom-
ing we'll fixed in the minds and writings of the
authorities, and that is that it is the early days
of measles, whooping cough, scarlet fever, etc.
that are most dangerous. It's the early cough
and sneeze and not the whoop or the skin scales
that spread disease primarily.
Parents, teachers, children, and even
the health authorities need to learn more about
these new conceptions because it is in these
new conceptions that the hope of our wiping
contagious disease out of existence lies. Instead
of being less on guard, however, we shall need
to be more so. The difference will be that

had rather exciting and undesirable
experience while enroute home. The
heavy rains of the previous evening had
swollen the streams and at several
places on the road they were forced to
drive through water which covered the
highway. At one place this side of
Mazomanie, where Mill creek flows in
it's course to the Wisconsin river, thew
drove for distance of about a quarter
of a mile through water which com
pletely covered the running boards on
the cars and every moment the occu
pants of the "boats" expected that a
depth would be reached which would
put the cars out of commission and
they would be forced to camp in the
river over night. Both cars turned the
trick of buffeting the swift current of
the OVERT lowed stream, however, and
the parties arrived home at about mid
night hour without any real mishap.

CRIMPING CATCHING DISEASES


Students are constantly decreasing
the number of conceptions of possible avenues
through which contagious disease may be
spread from one individual to another. This is
most important because if we can fix response
bility on small enough number of avenues we
shall be able to dispose Of our defensive forces
so as to shut off those channels effectively. In
the past we've been buster than a small boy at
three ring and elevated platform circus trying
to watch air, water. toys, Dishes books and
other things which surround patient, and
keep them from carrying the contagion to a
new victim.
What concentration might promise
in guarding against disease germ enemies may
be illustrated by our Mexican episode If our
soldiers knew that Villa had but two or three
avenues of escape open to him, they would
doubtless have him under lock and key or a
tombstone by this time. His safety and our
difficulty lies in the fact that he could choose
one of many routes and at best we could only
guess which one, with a fine chance of guessing
wrong.
Evidence is accommodating that it is
people. animals and insects that must be
watched, and that for many diseases, at least,
we can ignore the lifeless objects that sick
people touch or live among. Thus, Wagner,
