The directors OF the League are al.
so OF the belief THAT efficiency in gov.

influence upon American development
and discussion OF this phase OF pre-.

ion OF careful planning for log-:oll.
ing In state finance; the efficiency OF
foreign governments and an outlook
of financial planning for the nation.
Another subject regarded as vitality
important is universal obligatory mil.
itary training and service. Not only
will a session of the Congress be de.
voted to u presentation Of this ques.
ton but it Is planned to hold in
Washington simultaneously with the
Congress a conference OF represen.
tatives of patriotic societies, for the
purpose of adopting a plan Of con-
certed effort whereby an aggressive
campaign to secure universal military
training and service can be secured.
1t is expected that considerable i'm
petus for the movement TO adopt
such a system will be secured through
the fact that the W0man's Section Of
the Movement for National Prcpar-
edncss, which has recently been alb
sorbed by the National Security
League. has in its possession the sign.
ed pledges Of eleven thousand women
in favor of universal service. The Wo-
mans Section was composed Of rep

The fact that the women prominently
identified with these organizations
will be invited to the Congress and
that already many assurances of their

him to take a run thru the boxes sew

FIRST GOLF CAME
"Chick" Evans Describes Be-
ginnings of Champions.
Advice of Friends Not Always
Good to Follow.
BY CHARLES ("CHICK') EVANS
Amateur and Open Golf Champion.

A prospective golf champion on
starting out finds himself fully
equipped with a club membership,
golf clothes. golf bag and clubs. Per-
haps he has felt a little foolish at
times accommodating these instruments
foolishness. He has made the first
advance on the long road and is now
ready to play his first round.
About this time Mr.. Brown, who
has advised him to take up the game,
calls him up and invites him out to
the club for the afternoon He ac-
cepts, of course, and he fancies he
hears the office snicker as he passes
out, bearing rather awkwardly the un-
accustomed burden of his golf bag
He is self-conscious, too, and he finds
it bit hard to carry his clubs along
the street under the eyes of friends,
who say, 81 told you sou
Advice of Friends.
1t is a long distance from the down
town district to most golf clubs, and
our beginning golfer cannot help
thinking on the way of the priceless
time he is losing from business. He
cannot then foresce, if he happens to
hold a minor position, in his office,
that he is at last faced in the direction
of physical fitness that will lead to
the efficiency that means promotion.
By the time the golf neophyte and
---O
he is ready to enjoy his life-giving
exercise and the rural quiet of the
links. They have selected a beautiful
day for their playing, and it might be
called an auspicious occasion, but
right here our friend is going to do a
very ill-advised thing. His friend
engages caddie for him and they
start for the first tee. Our future
champion knows nothing of golf, and
he grabs his club as if it were a base
ball bat, for, like most Americans, he
knows something of that game. His
friend, who has been playing for fif-
teen years and never yet broken a
hundred, tells him he can teach him
anything he wants to know, and
herewith begins a flow of advice.
The First Round.
1t is not for me to say in this article
what happens in the next four hours.
for it takes that long for them to get
around
1t was a happy confusion of a beau
tiful green course, delightful air and
the mad chase of a little white ball
from tee to hole. Of course, he has
missed the ball a great many times,
has tried out hundreds of ideas of his
friend and has thought that he has
discovered a hundred more. Coming
in to the eighteenth hole, he has a
fine long iron shot near the hole and
goes into the locker room regretting
that darkness is about to fall.
He has had a good time and is just
afire with the golf idea, but he has
really learned nothing about the game,
merely acquired the notions of a man
who does not play well himself
Our friend should have gone to the
club professional. From him he could
have learned the orthodox stance grip
and some of the preliminary steps. In
spite of the fact, however, that our
future champion has learned nothing
about golf, I am. on the whole. salts
fled with his first day on the links, for
he has experienced the difficulty of
golf, the joy of the outdoors and the
desire to achieve a good name.
