ever been the case before. Rooms ali over the country are being better kept and are catering to higher class Of patronage and gambling in billiard rooms has almost been eliminated.
 There are many ways by which an ordinary player can improve his game. Remember, it is no easy matter. It re- quires work, lots of 1t. It calls for patience. You must become master, not only of basic principles of billiards, but above all of these you must be- come master of yourself. Paramount to all tips that may be able to give the amateur Is this Do not dissipate; lead a clean life. Do not imagine you can be an expert billiard player or even good average billiard player if you do not take care of yourself. Clean living Is more essential to good bil- lizards than it is to any other game.
 MUST NOT DRINK
 I have found that a man cannot drink, cannot smoke to excess, if he would succeed at billiards. The game is contest of nerve. contest of physical endurance, pastime in which the man that loses his head, becomes angry when he misses an easy shot, or who is not at all times master of his emo tions, Is doomed to failure. The be- ginner should first attempt to master the straight rail game. Do not try and play balkline until before you are proficient straight rail
 After you have acquired some knowl- edge of the technique, practice con- stantly First. put your efforts to the draw shot, than which there is no more important shot on the table Learn to control the balls. Learn the cushion carom. Practice the rail- nurse

Much has been said of late concern ing the strides the game of billiards has made in the United States in re- cent years and my views on the sub ject. therefore, may be interesting to all lovers of the game.
 I believe that there are many more good players in the country than there were when I first took up the game, but I claim those in the front rank have not advanced beyond the stan dard set by Schaefer and Ives 25 years ago Naturally I except myself, though not in a boastful way. I merely re- mark that my scores at the 18-inch balkline game show that l am play ing this style as well or better than Schaefer or Ives ever played the IA inch game, and I take no special credit for my great superiority over all oth- CTS now playing, for I assert my un-

and keep on practicing until you can do something with it
 The old game of cushion caroms, once popular. is one of the best that beginners can play. It is one to which the amateur should devote much of his time.
 To play good billiards, one must see good billiards. A man cannot become expert until he sees experts play. You must see the fine points of the game whether you are a good. bad or in- different player.
 Just a word concerning tempera- ment. I cannot emphasize too strong ly the necessity for self-control. Ev- eryone occasionally misses easy shots. Don't try to break your cue, as I have seen many do, when you miss. Don't get fused. Keep cool Retain your head Use your head more than your hand. Skill Is necessary, but headwork is equally essential Use good judg ment at all stages, especially in close games. Don't shoot before you think. Be very careful to set yourself before you shoot. Don't get up and execute your stroke carelessly In sort of happy go-lucky" manner. Week be- fore a match in which a title or some thing important is at stake I always diet myself very carefully I avoid sweets. drink no tea or coffe. never smoke at any time. It Is detrimental to my nerve; hence it affects any game.
 I am always glad to meet amateurs They are the backbone of the great game of billiards. I am glad to be of any assistance to them in improving their game

 Forty-one other cities scores were given, the last city having a total of 6l15 (Holbrook, Ariz.).
 T. K. Lee won individual honors by a large margin. His average for the 10 matches slow fire being 993 and rapid fire being 9.5. The nearest man was over 30 points behind

IA PART OF THE JOB"

While the pacifsts, pro-Germans and

people Of America consider something
else beside the proposal that we enter

nity If the Stacker is allowed to stay at
home and make money while the pa
triotic man gives up his job and does
the fighting to protect him.

of being a citizen" And he was alto

RAILROADS ARE
BIC FACTOR IN
DEFENSE PLAN

That the railroads of the country will
demonstrate their Importance and
value to the country in time of war,
under their present organization, is
the view of President William Sproule
of the Southern Pacific Company, who
has just returned from tour of the
company's lines from the Mexican
border to Portland.
President Wilson message to the
American people," said Sproule, "has
aptly referred to the railroads as the
arteries of the nations life, saying
that upon the men who run them rests
the immense responsibility of seeing
that those arteries suffer no omstruc-
ton of any kind, no inefficiency or
slackened power American railroads
accept this responsibility.
"The Presidents message indicates
that production and proper distribution
of the country's resources constitute
the most important task now con-
fronting the nation as a necessary
feature of the problems of war. 1t is
the duty and desire of every man in
the railroad business to make the
transportation machine even more eff
ficient for war than it has already
proved itself in time of peace.
"The usefulness of the railroads can
be realized to the full without material
changes in the organization, which is
flexible already, as shown by the ease
with which the Pacific Coast roads
handled the armies that visited the
Panama Pacific international exposi-
ton.

Producers are not worried over the
copper lost on steamers sunk en- route
to Europe, for the simple reason that
the contracts covering 1917 deliveries
have been made on the basis of pay
ment for freight delivered alongside
ship. On the other hand, they are
showing some concern over the falling
off in February refinery yield, which
totaled something like 170,000,00O
pounds, compared with an estimated
refinery output of 200,000,O00 pounds
Likewise, interest was shown as to
whether the foreign governments will
be compelled to replace the tonnage
lost, which from December 1 to date
is calculated at 60,000,000 pounds, or
whether in their purchase they had
figured on losing some Of the metal
through such destruction. Most of the
copper so lost was bound for France,
while Russia and Italy also suffered.
On the 1916 contracts producers sold
on a c. i. f. basis and lost heavily, but
the 1917 contracts are on a f. a. s.
basis. Therefore, the submarine ac-
tivities are not a cause of worry to
domestic consumers
Producers are expecting a large buy
ing movement to begin during this
month, and inquiries from all quarters
h11cu
With the sizable tonnage needed for
our country's program, and with the
allied governments requirements for
second half metal, producers predict
higher prices.
If the needs of the allies are as
great this year as they were in 1916,
then 2S5, 100000 pounds additional will
have to be purchased here and shipped
abroad in the last six months OF 1917.
If domestic buying is on a par with
last year, this will mean the purchase
of $4,000, 900 pounds additional for this
country's consumption, making a total
of 2.318,5O0,00O pounds to be sold this
year, or S1,57O,334 pounds less than the
estimated 1917 refinery production OF
2,4OO, 900, 900 pounds. AS refinery pro-
duction has fallen short about 6O,OOO,-
600 pounds for the first two months OF
the present year, and is still short OF
the required output, indications are
that there will be scramble TINS
month for second half delivery ma
terial.
On the other hand, peace will bring
a. copper demand for purposes other
than war. It will mark the beginning
of reconstruction in the devastated sec
tions of Europe, and for this alone an
immense quantity of copper Will be
needed. The large products feel that
not only will the price of the metal be
maintained at unusually high figures
throughout 1917, but that 1918 produc-
tion will command a relatively high
price, as compared with 1913 and 1914,
even if hostilities cease. 1t is evident
that the prosperity of the copper in
dustry of the United States will con-
tinue for a long time to come.

F ANIME IN
COPPER, SAYS
EASTERN SCRIBE

There is a real copper famine, says
an eastern writer on the subject. There
is no spot metal to be had, and the
tight position of nearby copper is
Increasing, as valuable supplies up to
July are fast disappearing from the
market and consumers are really talk
ing the few offerings at steadily ad-
vancing prices. Sales of very small
quantities of spot copper are reported
at 38c per pound. The demand for
third quarter metal is becoming larger
from day to day, while other deliveries
are scarce and little can be done.
For months there has been an acute
situation in copper with respect to
available supplies for prompt ship
ment This was due primarily to the
railroad ongestion which halted

from the smelters to the refineries.
