Jackson, Miss, July 5.-According
to officers at Camp Swep Taylor, it
would be well for those sending mail
matter TO friends and relatives in the
camp to remember one or two essen
tial points which would greatly facili-
tate the handling and delivery of let
tiers or parcels to the addresses.
There is now in the camp a thorough

one of the Jackson postOffice staff, in
charge, who is assisted by Sergt. c. p.
Johnson, detailed for this service by
Colonel Hoskins. This postoffice is

headquarters and the main camp, and

Tea Table Talks
GOLF.
By May De Witt Talmnge

GOLF.
When there is a dearth OF ideas
someone will take up a subject like
Golf" and ring all the changes
they can on the game. It depends
entirely on the mood, and. some
times think. on the avoirdupois or
age Of the individual who writes the
article as TO what they say.
There was a long article published
the other day from the pen Of
writer of note. warning men over
60 against playing golf, as a num-
Der OF his golf friends had died. The
conclusion he drew was that golf is
a dangerous game for any one past
youth
Sometimes il is a golf widow
who vents her spleen on the dangers
Of golf But he or she who knows
the exhiliration OF a sunshiny day on

izing small white ball as far as they
can. and to get it over all hazards.

the other fellows game to stand
firm on both feet or 10 stand firm
on one while you swing on the

than it would be if you have been
sitting at your desk or at the club
trying to stimulate an appetite with
a few drinks.
The good clear. click. as the
driver hits the ball a whack. drives
beyond sight the confusion and prob
lens that have tied up the brain
by too much concentrating on the
same subject
If the golf widow" no matter
what her age or weight would take
her clubs. or a putter if she is be
yond the age limit. and go out on
the golf links and with that magic
little ball try 10 beat her own game.
