4 Few Suggestions on the Best Grips
For Hands and Feet

4 Few Suggestions on the Best Grips
For Hands and Feet.
The Importance Of the general equip
ment Of golfer IN all its details is
often overlooked and it is therefore
proposed to mention few things to
be remembered. Perhaps the greatest
problems are the best grips for the
hands and feet So far as the former
is concerned. to many this Is no trouble
at all, for they just rub some pitch or
wax on their grips and have no fur
ther difficulty, but there are others
who cannot use either Of these because
It makes the hands sore. thus taking
away much OF the pleasure Of the
game
Something III the way Of an alterna-
i've to be recommended is rough rub
Der. One would imagine that this ma
terial would wear the hands out sooner
than anything else, but this Is not the
case. There seems to be a prejudice
against wearing gloves for golf, but
they are really quite easy to play In,
gst thoroughly accustomed TO them
Gloves have the advantage of keeping
the hands warm, as well as preventing
them from becoming sore, cracked or
bhstered.
A firm grip for the feet is just as
important as a good grip for the hands.
It has been said that the ordinary
maths which are put IN golf shoes are
not much good Gymnasium shoes are
suggested for dry weather, but are
practically useless If the ground be-
comes at all wet 1t is a great mistake
to play in gymnasium shoes or those
with no heels and then suddenly to
change 70 thick soled boots, for when
these have studs or nails fitted the
player stands quite an inch higher.
difference Hike this is apt to alter the
game Of any one considerably. and one
golfer who tried 1t sliced all his drives
until he got accustomed to his higher
position
A player should always see that be
is thoroughly comfortable and should
avoid carrying bulky things In his
pockets, such as balls, which often gel
In the way when approaching and put
ting. These articles should be placed
In charge Of the caddie during the
round. or, failing the cadGie, they
should be put into the pocket OF the
bag. No golfng equipment Is complete
without rag or duster to dry the
grips In the event of rain or to wipe
the hands If they should perspire IN
hot weather.-New York Post.

escapes into the air from the space Ia
which 1t was confined Now, in a pop
gun the gas that is compressed and
then allowed to expand is air which
already exists as air But there is no
air or any other gas IN a cartridge, and
the question is. Where does the gas
come from that makes the noise ANA
fires the bullet when Il gun is fred
What happens is that we suddenly
burn a powder We have prepared Of
materials such that when they are
burned large quantity of gas viii be
produced. and it must be produced
very suddenly if the fun explosive pow
er is to be obtained. We have another
great advantage in trying to make this
kind of explosion, as we have not when
we fire a popgun-that is, that the
gases produced are exceedingly hot,
for they are heated by the burning
which makes them.
A hot gas naturally occupies q great
deal Of space-far more than a cold
gas-and SO when We fire a gun we
suddenly produce a great quantity of
hot gas In tiny space which is not
nearly sufficient to hold It, If this
were done In a closed box it would
burst the box, but in the case OF the
gun we have prepared way out for 1t
only that we put bullet In the way

CLIMBING TO SUCCESS.
Advice to Young Men Who Want to
Get Ahead In Business.

Advice to Young Men Who Want to
Get Ahead In Business.
President Bedford OF the Standard
Oh Company of New Jersey has him
self travelled unaided every step of the
way from the valley OF obscurity to
the summit of success | asked Mr.
Bedford to tell some of the things he
had learned during his journey, to give
some suggestions or pointers for the
guidance of other climbers
We'll" he began, my advice to
every young man would be this:
do everything you are told-and do
1t with all your heart and strength
willingly, cheerfully and enthusiastic-
ally, and then look around for more
work to do.
Don't measure your work by hours,
but by what it is possible for you to
accomplish from the time you enter In
the morning and be early rather than
late-until the place closes in the even
ing, and don't quit the moment the
place officially closes If there Is work
still to be done.
Read and study and think along
the lines Of your business. Learn
what it is all about, what service it
contributes to making the world go
round more comfortably and efficient
Iy. Cultivate the habit OF looking
ahead, of acquiring as much foresight
as possible Have Imagination and
vision
Then try to plan out your life, to
map out course; consider and calcu-
late the steps necessary to carry you
toward your goal, 90 forward step by
step-and don't get your sequences
mixed. Do one thing ut a time. If
your job ut the moment is to keep
books master bookkeeping thoroughly
and study the fundamentals of ac-
countancy; don't merely keep your
books mechanically From accountan-
cy 90 on to study tiuance and this
viii help to open other doors Or If a
man starts in Il manufacturing depart
ment let him FIRST master that depart
ment and then learn all there Is TO be
learned about other departments
Thus VIII he become familiar with the
whole process of manufacture.
His next step would be to learn the
outlets and the uses for his manufac-
ture the market for his product. BY
studying what and how much his mar
ket viii take or viii not take he be-
comes capable merchandise man
This double knowledge OF manufactur-
ing and merchandising qualities him to
fill an executive position and opens the
way to rise 70 tire very top, whereas
the fellow who was content to jog
along IN rut in oGe department wiz
still be about whore he began. b. q.

MARK OF FAIR DEALING.

Label Before Buying Goods.

Demand That Merchants Show Union
Label Before Buying Goods.
1t is now the time of year when we
must be rebuilt as to our wearing ap-
parel.
For as much as we may dread Is, a
change of season Is encroaching upon
us, and we must shed our older wears
and invest in new ones commensurate
with the changing temperature and
our purchasing powers.
But we've got to get them, and
whether for the head feet or other
body coverings we've an opportunity
available to do the fair thing toward
those who have obtained fair condi-
tons under which they work while
shaping and making these multitu-
dinous articles of wearing goods.
Those who make these lines OF neces-
sary apparel are waging constant
struggle to keep the union label there
on and representative of the nearest
approach to equitable work conditions
obtained by those whose minds and
hands design and make them.
They ask Of us, who are also con-
stantly insisting upon the right TO en-
joyment Of union conditions, that we
play fair with them TO the extent Of
pracicing good union consistency and
always make 1t our business to insist
that the union label representative Of
the craft making the article Is visible
upon them.
They are quite within their bounds
OF propriety when reminding us Of
this matter. and we are very much
astride the union labor ethics we hold
out before the e5or world as being rep
resentatiyes of If we do not keep their
appeals In mind when making our In
yestments in these things
This question Is always in order. and
we should always make it the first or
der Of business when in mercantile es-
tablishments.
But just now 1t is especially so from
the fact OF such u fight on part Of fac
tories to have open shop nonunion
shop conditions prevail
The only sure and permanent as
surance OF maintaining humane work
Ing environments ia factories and
workshops Is by a continual insistence
upon being shown the union label on
your purchases.
Let US be firm in our insistence about
this matter, for it is right and just that

LOYALTY Mnst BE Blind.

1t is generally believed that business
and poetry have nothing in common,
yet when Tenuyson wrote The Charge
Of the Light Brigade" he committed to
paper the most vital lesson a business
employee can learn the lesson Of blind,
blithe loyalty No commercial organi-
zation can live in which loyalty is lack
ing; none can largely succeed in which
it is lukewarm. The man who accepts
pay must give more than his time
more than his intelligence; he must
give also his heart. The boss may blum
der, but the right kind OF employee
goes ahead anyway, doing the best he
can. Electrical Merchandising.
