"GETTING BY

GETTING BY"
The world is full of ladies
Who acting Fate's caddes
In the old game known Living Out the String
Though they seldom need warning
And report for work each morning,
To their notions of it all they fondly cling
Dreaming of life in clover,
Wishing that the day over
For semblance of endeavor they viii try.
And if you should ask them kindly
How it goes, they'd answer bindy
That their bosses kept them-you know-getting by
Getting byl" Two words of meaning
Through the busy world careening
On the tongue Of every shirker in the land,
Getting byI" And while they're skdding
Thinking Of the boss they're kidding
Who will fire 'em later of hand
Life is far too full of action
For this large and istless faction,
And the years taking payment as they fly
In Life's discard growing
Making but sorry showing,
Lie the lads whose stock in trade is getting by"

Followers of amateur golf are al
ready specializing on the possibilities
of boys in their teens winning Amer
lean amateur golf titles next year,
and even the best players are not dis
counting the 1916 play Of such phe-
nomenaI youngsters as Bobby Jones
and Perry AdaiT, who took the meas
ure of Chick Evans and Ned Sawyer
in match play and who otherwise
qualified as dangerous factors.
Unless the unexpected happens
both Jones and AdaiT will play much
better golf in 1917 than they did in
1916. Jones is Is and Adair is three
years older.
The remarkable success of these
youngsters in golf is ascribed by
many critics to their non-anaIyticaI
confidence in themselves.
The day book. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1911-1917, 1917-02-19

Older players study out their shots
and are more apt to make mistakes
because they figure in the possibili-
ties of failure.
For this reason is is argued that
perhaps Jones in five years or Adair
in two or three will not reach the
pre-eminent position in golf which
their youthful records would indi-
cate.
These questions are, of course,
purely psychological and may or may
not be true.
1t is certain however that Ameri-
can links will be invaded by an army
of promising youngsters this spring,
who will make the present genera
ton of great amateurs look to their
laurels.

DEFENSE COUNCIL
WILL MEET TODAY
Policy for West Virginia
Expected to be the Out
come.

CHARLESTON. W. Va, April 81.
For the purpose Of planning West
Virginia's economy and activity incl.
dent to the national war condition,
the State Council Of Defense will hold
its initial meeting here today. The
members OF this council were selected
more than week ago by Governor
John ]. Cornwell.
The Governor has received communi.
cations from a number OF the appoin-
tees in which the promise was made
that they will attend and offer any
suggestions they can that will tend
to assist West Virginia in taking care
OF itself and be help to the country
generally. In naming the members,
the Governor confined himself to the
appointment OF heads of various or.
CARNATIONS which may be made IN
strumental in an exhaustive scheme
Of conservation of both labor and
products. He also selected the five
living former Governors to act in an
advisory capacity with the council.
Several Of these will be present.
The meeting will be held in the Gov.
ASSCpIlOh 1OOu d. lhO SoPlIOAs
1t is expected that the recommends.
lions OF the Council will be incorporat.
ed in proclamation so that the peo.
Pile of the state may have an oppor-
tunity to learn their individual part
in carrying out the ideas advanced.
The Governor himself will have some
suggestions to offer as he recently
conferred with Secretary Baker of the
War department about the program
which is being carried out nationally,
and 1t will be the purpose of the State
Council to work as an auxiliary to the
national organization to the greatest
possible extent.
In the State Council are the heads of
the Department of Agriculture, the
Extension department of the univers'
ity, the Women's Federation of Clubs,
the State Federation of Labor and
similar organizations, which are ex'
pected to aid in the movement to
fully protect this state and help pro
tect the Nation during the crisis
brought about by the war with Ger
many. The part the women's clubs
are to play is considered almost as
important as that which will be as
sumed by the other organizations.
