The Cubist Golfer.

We cannot hope to match in eloquence
the golfer who recently upon this page de-
Tended the inverted grip of his clubs to
the glory of the New Art and the wisdom
of the past well lost behind him. The
classic note never does make for thrilling
gallery play. And it is rather in the spirit
of an ancient greenskeeper that we set out
painstakingly in the wake of his parabollc
flight to replace such divots as we may
Golf is an art, he exclaims. Therefore
let us toss all rules and waggles into the
deepest sand-pit and proceed by insplra-
ton. "the bliss of sheer luck" and 'unimag-
Unable stroke of chance" Art, that is the
word insisted upon. And accepting 1t upon
these unfettered terms, we perceive the
mashie of our care-free correspondent d.
scending upon the ball with not less I'M
mortal beauty than the historic "Nudo
Descending a Staircase" Memory harks
back to the famous Armory show OF the
New Art. in the ancient, long ago days
before the war. There for the first time
we saw art in full unblushing freedom,
bereft of rules and waggles the inverted
grip of the paint brush ruling supreme
There was fascination and mystery in
these doings. There was the bliss OF sheer
luck and the unimaginable stroke o:
chance. Yet as the fairest and most hui
man of modern critics warned us at the
time:
"To 90 to this exhibition with solic-
itude about meaning and about life
at the expense of matters of technique
is not simply to beg the questions 1t
is to give it away with both hands.
In art. elements of meaning and life
do not exist until the artist has mas
tered those technical processes by
which he may or may not have genius
to call them into being This is not
an opinion. 1t is a statement of fact.
TO exclude technique from art is no
more possible than it is to dispense in
architecture with ponderable sub
stances"
That is the whole story. And not ever
our inverted correspondent could phrase !
better. To exclude technique from golf Is
no more possible than it is to dispense If
architecture with ponderable substances
Tell that to your caddy if he jeers at youi

Sir: II our water pumps could be utilized

JAILS THAT ARE PORTABLE
Structures Have Something of a HUI
morous Side, But Are Useful in
the Philippines.

Portable jails such as are in use in
the Philippine islands are doubtless
lacking in architectural beauty, but
hey more than make up for the de-
ficiency in usefulness. These one-room
"cuartels," built more for GOODNESS
than for permanency, are established
at intervals along the government high
ways of Luzon, and several of the 9TH
or islands of the archipelago, for the
safe-keeping at night of the convicts
who are employed by day on the roads.
These convicts are farmed out for this
purpose from the great Bilabid prison
at Manila. The construction of these
so-called jails is simple in the ex-
IRENE; floor Of split bamboo, walls

barbed wire and roof of grass thatch

by providing good sanitary conditions
and feeding only clean, sound grains

by swabbing the mouth and throat

pigeon breeders whenever the stock

Among these are carbolic acid, epson
salts, copper sulphate, and venetian

head around the bill, eyes, mouth, or
in the throat. and pigeons thus affected
should usually be killed.

SIMPLE PLAN OF IRRIGATION
Extensive Reservoirs and Expensive
Machinery Not Used in Certain
Parts of India.

In India famine has always been a
serious question to cope with, and by
means of canals and irrigation works
much has been done to mitigate the eff
fects of drought.
In certain districts a primitive but
effectual method of irrigation still ex-
lists among the natives, who convey
water to their rice and paddy fields
by a simple contrivance of their own
invention.
1t consists of the trunk of a tree
dug out to form a kind of scoop or
trough, which is attached to one end
of long pole The other end of the
pole is weighted with Jumps of earth
and the whole is balanced at the cen
ter on an upright SO as to form lever.
The irrigator dips the trough into
tho water, and, on releasing his hold,
the weights at the other end of the
pole cause the water to run down the
trough into well dug in the ground.
The supply is then distributed by
means of channels. This performance
is carried on in duplicate, one trough
taking in water and the other discharg.
ing it-Popular Mechanics.

culiar to pigeons and is difficult to
cure. 1t may be brought about by
feeding filthy or unsonnd grams, by
filthy conditions, and by any factor
which tends to destroy the vitality of
the pigeons The symptoms of this
condition are a gradual loss of flesh,
frequently accompanied by diarrhea.
The practical method OF treatment is
to remove the cause. Pigeons in this
or in any other diseased condition will
often get well If allowed their free
dom. TONES are used by some pigeon
breeders, especially during the melting
season, but their constant use is not
generally advised under normal condi-
tons.
Dead squads may be due to a va
riety of reasons. The cause of the
mortality must be found and removed
If profitable results are to be Sc
cured. Some of the possible causes
are extra males or minated pigeons
in the breeding pens, rats or mice in
the house, and lack of vitality in the
breeding stock, caused by the use of
improper or the lack of sufficient feed,
filthy conditions, or careless inbreed-
ing.

WHY COWS GIVE MORE MILK
Breeds Improve the Things for Which
They Are Selected-Noted Increase
Made in Germany.

A contributor to Farm and Fireside
explains why cows give more milk
than they used to:
Cattle used to be bred chiefly for
work. Therefore the cows did not
give much milk. Breeds improve the
thing for which they are selected.
I'm 1890 the work cows of Germany
gave an average of pint and half
a day. Interest in milk increased, and
by 1900 the average yield was quart
and half. Breeding went on milk
ward, and in 1910 the German cows
averaged two quarts of milk each per
day. In 1920 three, in 1880 four-and
there the gain stopped for 80 years.
But in 1860 the production had in
creased to six quarts and by 1870 t.
eight"

The pens and yards where pigeons
are confined must be kept clean.
There is very little chance of making
money from squads unless the pigeons
can be kept comparatively free from
diseases and insect parasites. II
healthy breeding stock is secured, the
houses and yards kept clean, and care
full attention given to the birds, dis
eases and parasites should not be a
material factor in squad raising.
(Only good, sound grain should be
fed.
The following advice as to keeping
pigeons well and curing their diseases
is taken from Farmers Bulletin No.
6S4, SQUAD Raising" The stock
should be carefully watched and any
sick birds removed from the breeding
pens. The house should be kept dry,
clean, we'll ventilated and free from
drafts. The yards should be kept
clean either by scraping the surface
and adding fresh sand or gravel or by
to grain if possible
The nests, nest boxes, and pens
should be kept clean, but it is not ad-
visable to disturb the nests which con.
tain eggs or squads any more than is
actually necessary. The pens should
be sprayed frequently with whitewash
containing a little crude carbolic acid,
or with coal-tar disinfectant, and the
nest boxes and perches should be ex-
amined for mites, especially in hot
weather, and sprayed with kerosene
oil or some commercial preparation
which will kill mites. The nests or
nest pans should be cleaned out and
the nesting material removed after
the squads are marketed or leave the
nests.

WHAT is URIC ACID?


Ever since the discovery Of uric acid
In the blood by Scheele, in 1875, and
the bad effect it had upon the body,
scientists and physicians have striven
to rid the tissues and the blood of
this poison. Because of it's over
abundance in the system it causes
backache, pains here and there, rheu-
matism, govt, gravel, neuralgia and
sciatica. 1t was DR.. Pierce who dis
covered a new agent, called "Anuric,"
which will throw out and completely
eradicate this uric acid from the sys-
TEN. "Anuric" is 81 times more DO
tent than hthid. and consequently you

SOLOMON LECTURES ON
LIBERTY AND SOCIALISM
Anti-Socialisic Speaker Argues They
Are Not Synonymous in Talk at
Hebrew Synagogue.

That liberty and Socialism are not
Synonymous, although frequently so
used, was a point maintained by Samuel
Solomon, an anti-Socialist speaker before
the Collegiate Club of Washington in the
Eighth Street Synagogue yesterday after
noon. IF a Socialist government were
established, 1t would be subversive to
every principle of liberty. and as such It
should arouse our antagonism as free
Americans" said Mr.. Solomon.
Following his talk, a literary and
musical program was carried out. Charles
Geisenfeld, vice president Of the club,
presided and announced that the public
interest in the government ownership of
public utilities had become live issue.
He introduced four debaters to argue the
question: Resolved. That the United
States should own and operate the tele-
phone and telegraph lines within its ter
rftory." The speakers for the affirmative
side were Louis. Spiegler and Abraham
Shefrerman. and on the negative side
Harry Bachrach and John Ruppa.
