Regularity Necessary in
Learning to Play Golf

The first thing for the ambitious
prospective golfer to do is to lay out
plan for the practice OF golf One
must play certain amount each day,
or three times a week, or eight tinMes
a month, or whatever regular space
of time he can command and then
set his mind to thinking about the
game. Also he must firmly fix in his
mind the thought that golf improve
ment Is barely visible to the player;
without such realization few players
can stand the pace Of practice. In his
hours of practice the golfer always
should have the words, Il am going
to do the best can" Then let him
follow his system conscientiously,
whether the weather is good or bad
and whether he hits his shots well or
not
The following plan of action is my
advice to the prospective golfer who
is willing to adopt a system: Go to
your professional and get an idea of
the proper way to grip a club, to
stand and to swing. That once done,
initiating him exactly, will not carry
you far; you must learn to put your
physical and mental individuality into
everything, and work to that end.
Prepare to give a certain amount of
time to consistent and uninterrupted
practice.
Lay in a supply of two dozen golf
balls for practice. Here / offer a lit
tie warning-do not hit many more

VIOLATORa CAUGHT
Officials Believe They Made Real Find
When They Jailed Him.

Detroit Record: One of the worst
violators of the game laws that has
been captured in the county in recent
years was picked up by Deputy War
den Gallagher last Sunday when he
bought one hundred pounds of black
bass from Nels Jellum, of Grand Park,
one Of the most persistent and whole
sale poachers Of fish in the county.
Jellum was taken to Frazee and on
his appearance before Judge Hubs
he pleaded guilty and was fined $50
and costs of SLIP, which he paid.
It also developed that Jellum had a
contract with a man by the name Of
Severtson, at Ulen, to furnish him
200 pounds Of bass the following week
and this man may also find himself
in the tolls Of the law. Warden CAL
lagher also looked into alleged viola
tions at Mitchelrs Dam, at the upper
end of Height of Land lake, and it
may be that something will drop on
the parties involved.
Warden Gallagher also arrested Fred
Schworter, at Fairy lake, in Hobart
township, for having smoked bass in
his possession, and that gentleman
paid a fine of $40 and Sc costs.
Nels JelIum is the second man
caught for illegally taking fish
from Island and Height of Land
lakes, and we hope that the fines
imposed may have a salutary eff
feet and IL not, jail sentence would
be the next best thing to hand out to
this class of men.

ONLY TWO FISH
Are EXEMPTED
Everything But Yellow
Perch and Bullheads are
Within Six Inch, Law

Can you catch 'en under six inches
long?
The question, relating to sunfish,
involved in the new fish and game
laws passed by the state legislature
last winter, results from a consid-
cradle amount of confusion among
local anglers as to the correct inter-
probation of the provision.
The answer, according to those
identified with the fish and game de-
partment, is yes It would be abb
surd to enact legislation prohibiting
the catching Of fish less than six
inches in length, but the point is, you
can't keep 'em.
If the flngerlings insist upon tack
ling the worm, with the more or
less fatefuI result, there is no rea-
son why one should cut his line to
avoid landing the curious youngster.
But, having removed him from your
hook with as little damage as posi-
BILE, the new law provides that you
must return him to the water, unless
he measures six inches (count 'em)
from the tip of his nose, or what
serves as a nose on a fish, to the fork
of his tail.
Heretofore there has been nothing
to discourage the taking of very small
sunfish excepting the nuisance Of
dressing them and separating the
bones from the fish after reaching
the mouth. But now the law has set
a limit, not only on sunhsh, but on
rock bass, as well.
Only yellow perch and bullheads
are exempted from the six-inch mini
mum. Sunflsh and rock bass must
measure up to specifications, and the
game warden'H get you If you don't
watch out.

than dozen shots in succession with
any one club, for nothing is gained
by work when fatigued. / also sug-
gest that you swing only when you
hit a ball. We all have many friends
who can clip dandelion heads easily
and without fail and miss the ball
itself frequently. For that reason
consider IL better not to practice much
swinging without a ball, and with a
supply of two dozen balls a caddie
does not have to come in so often.
Have three small flags or markers-
sticks with a bit of white cloth at
tached-and arrange them in the form
of a scalene triangle The idea being
that you want to hit long shot, a
medium shot and short shot for
practice among these little flags.
used to play these shots with a
mashie, but now / practice only the
cut shots to them. / got this idea
from three green's at Old Edgewater,
that were so situated that they per-
mitted such practice, and conceived
the idea OF pitching a half dozen balls
around these green's a certain number
of times, and whether did the job
well or ill, / never failed to complete
the number.
With this habit took up the notion
of hitting each day a certain number
of shots with each club, and with the
Inauguration of this practice the
system set forth in my daily notes
was achieved.

: ROBIN, lie IMMACULATE.

Omaha World Herald: When one
considers the infamy of the unknown
and misguided lunkhead who brought
the English sparrow into America he
is likely to regret that we are now an
ally of England. This feeling is based
on a misrepresentation, however, Tor
the socalled English sparrow is not es-
sentially a British pest, but halls from
all of western Europe and should
therefore be known as the European
sparrow monica found only in sci
entific volumes or ornithology.
All this is merely a preface to the
observation that the European SPAR
row, pugnacious pest today in nearly
every state of the union. is not as num-
erous as the good old robin!
Yes, sir-Uncle Sans experts have
repeatedly asserted, after months of
arduous field work, that the old red
breast has a decided majority among
the songbirds of this nation.
It is very good to know this, for the
robin is one Of the finest of all feath
cred fellows.
In the first place he is immaculate
in his habits, and battles every time the
opportunity offers. Those who have in
stalled bird baths in their yards will
agree in this statement, for the robins
generally monopolize the tiny pool, and
will often be found up to their necks
in the bath when ice is still floating
on the surface Of the same.
Moreover, the robin is as friendly as
the chickadee, and scarcely less in
quisitive. The red breast will follow
you as you spade the garden, pulling
out long, rubber worms after every
turned lover spadeful of earth. He will
look at you with the most interested
and complimentary glances, his bright
eyes fairly cleaning with appreciation
and, perhaps, with a twinkle OF humor.
And after he has Toasted in this man
ner, he will Immediately take to the
bath, to cleanse himself-a good deal
as we humans indulge in the finger
bowl.
Robins are everywhere. in and out
of the city, and will nest in the most
densely populated districts. They are
good friends to humankind, and de-
serve the proper appreciation.

The summer schedule will be re-
sumed by the "dinky'' on Monday
morning. Time of leaving Detroit will
be 7:40 a. m. instead Of 1925. It will

The German King Cante.

II. G. Wells, writing in The New Re-
public about The Future of Monarchy,
includes the following about monar-
chy's past:
after 1871, a constellation of quasi
divine Teutonic monarchs, of which the
German emperor, the German Queen
Victoria, the German car, were the
greatest stars, formed a caste apart,
intermarried only among themselves,
dominated the world and was regarded
with mystical awe by the ignorant
and foolish in most European countries.
The marriages, the funerals, the coro-
breed of idols were matters of almost
universal worship. The car and Queen
Victoria protested also to be the heads
OF religion upon earth. The court CEN
tered diplomacies of the more firmly
rooted monarchies steered all the great
liberating movements of the nineteenth
century into monarchial channels.
Italy was made a monarchy; Greece,
the motherland of republics, was hand
ed over to a needy scion of the Danish
royal family; the sturdy peasants of
Bulgaria suffered from a kindred inn
position. Even Norway was saddled
with as much of a king as 1t would
stand, as a condition Of its indepen-
century republican freedom seemed a
remote dream beyond the confines of
Switzerland and France-and it had no
very secure air in France. Reactionary
scheming has been an intermittent
fever in the French republic for six
and forty years. But for the restless
disloyalty of the Hohenzollerns this
German kingly caste might still be
dominating the world to this day"

The President Admits it's Value But
Discards the Best Way 60 Do It.

Discards the Best Way to Do lt.
The president has decided not to ac-
cept the offer of Theodore Roosevelt
to raise two or more divisions OF volun-
teers for immediate service in France.
The president gives excellent reasons
for his decision; as a soldier and a
good American Mr.. Roosevelt has
promptly accepted the decision Of the
commander-in-ch chief.
But now that that question is set
tied, it would be good thing If the
government could discover some way
to utilize the fine vigor and en-
thusiasm," to use the presidents
words, of IAN ex-president who has
rendered many conspicuous public SER
vices and proved his gallantry in many
striking ways" Mr.. Wilson is quite
signment of Mr.. Roosevelt to service
would politically. ;. have a very fine
effect and make q profound impress
sion.'
When a democracy goes to war it
is unwise, indeed 1t is impossible, to
ignore the element of popular desire
and popular enthusiasm. We must not
only, as the president says, make war
scientifically and practically; we must
dramatic the war for the effect upon
the popular imagination.
In this world of ours nothing arouSeS
enthusiasm, not even great cause,
like a commanding personality. There
is considerable number Of the Amer
lean people upon whom no personality
has a more stimulating effect than that
of Mr.. Roosevelt. This great potential
asset should not be ignored in the
magnificent struggle for democracy
which the American people are TAX
ing their part in waging.
Mr.. Roosevelt is genuinely and eag-
erly anxious to serve. The administra-
ton should think out some method of
awaiting itself Of his power and ability
in a position commensurate with his
dignity as ex-president of the United
States and worthy Of the outstanding
services which he has rendered in the
world.
