The Radio Golf Ball.

There have been countless
experiments with golf balls to
increase their carrying power
ever since the days of the old
solids, when the canny Scot al
ways kept one ball in his hip
pocket that the warmth of his
body would make the ball more
resilient. These changes have
resulted in golf balls being
made so lively that the dis
lance of courses must be steadi-
ly increased.
The secret OF the long flight
of the radio ball is the essence
Of radium that is placed in the
center and which after a treat
ment of three weeks permeates
over the ball.
