PLAYER BEHIND CLUB
OF MOST IMPORTANCE
Inventions Seldom Assist Golfer
in improving His Game.
Innovations in Form of a Club Rarely
Prove PracticabIe-correct Line,
Proper Force and Touch Does
the Business.

With million golfers in the United
States, little wonder that the inventive
mind occasionally offers suggestions
which threaten TO send the ancient
game and its traditions a-glimmering.
Inventions rarely receive encOura ge-
ment, for '..gOlf is golf ;" and meant to
BE- played as ''shc is writ" and for that
reason the icOnOclaSts seldom make
more than mOmentary flash ere fad
ing away to oblivion.
For instance, one is at loss to know
why anyone should suggest the substi-
tuition of yellow for white paint on Il
golf ball. 1t has been claimed that un-
der certain conditions white is hard on
the eyes; that on very bright day IL
more neutral color would be service
able
Yet golfers have played for good
many years. and the sun has shone just
as brightly in the past as it does ut
present. 1t would be hard to get bet
ter contrast than the white ball on the
green turf.
So far as the trade goes, there have
been comparatively few recommends

Art in the Home.

A good story is going the round,
concerning Walter Bayes, whose fa

committee of the Imperial war mu

Mr.. Bayes has always been a very
severe critic of his own pictures, and
one day, being dissatisfied with Il large
painting he had completed, he gave
the canvas to the charwoman to take
away with her, telling her she coult
do what she liked with it.
The woman examined it closely

humping it all over with evidentl.

rELLSH0W TOUSE
4. SUBSTITUTE FLOUR

This week, Miss Frances W.
Sly, head of the department of
home economics at the State
Normal school,, supplies house
wives and houseWives-to-be with
some pointed suggestions on the
use Of substitute fours. Miss
Sly says:8
The following weights and meas
ures equal to l cup of white flour
will enable the housewife to use her
own tested recipes with the knowl-
edge that she is helping to save
wheat for our soldiers and allies.
This table will help you to make
good griddle cakes, mullins, cakes,
cookies, drop biscuits and nut or
raisin bread without using any
wheat flour. A mixture of substi-
tutes gives better result than one
alone.
Use level measurements. In sub
stituting for l cup of flour use the
following. Each is equal in weight
to cup of wheat flour.
Barley 3-8 cups.
Buckwheat-7-8 cups.
Corn flour-1 cup (scant.)
Corn meal (coarse)-7-8 cup.
Corn meal (fne)-1 cup (scant.)
Corn starch-3-4 cup.
Potato flour-3-4 cup.
Rice flour-7-8 cup.
Rolled oats-1 IL cups.
Rolled oats ground in chopper)-
| l 1-8 cups.
You will not need new recipes. just
use the old ones your family has al
ways liked, but substitute for wheat
-four from above table.
Old Recipe
| 2 cups wheat flour.
| 4 teaspoons baking powder.
IA teaspoon salt.
/ tablespoon sugar.
| cup milk.
egg.
i tablespoon fat. "
New Recipe
"a cups barley flour. ~.
/ cup (scant) corn -four.
| i. 4 teaspoons baking powder.
f. IA teaspoon salt. *. -. :.
| < tablespoon sugar. m a. ".t>
| l cup milk. .
egg. ~
/ tablespoon fat.
You can change all your recipes
| the same way. -.
Good combinations of substitutes:
Rolled oats (ground) or barley
flour or buckwheat flour and corr
flour or rice flour or potato flour.
Cautions
1. All measurements should be accu-
rate. A standard measuring cuI
equals one half pint.
2. The batter often works toe
quick and sometimes too thin, but yol
will find that if you have measured
as given in the table the result will b
good after baking.
8. Bake all substitute mixture;
more slowly and longer.
! Drop biscuits are better tnan rol
biscuits when substitutes are used.
Pie crusts do not roll well ant
have to be patted on to the pans
They do not need chilling before hak
ing.

and child that on or before June 18th
he pledge to save constantly, and buy
regularly, the War Savings Stamps
issued by this government, and by so
doing enlist in a great volunteer army
Of savers and producers here at home.
May there be none unenlisted on that

Soldier Education
Underway Thru u. S.

WASHINGTON, Dec. s.-vocation.
al re-education at government ex-
pense of wounded American soldiers
is getting under way in IA districts
embracing all sections OF the country.
A report today by the federal board
having this work in charge showed on
November .. a total OF 65s4 cases In
which such training would be needed.
OF this number 44$1 were brought TO
the attention of the board as eligible
by the war risk insurance bureau.
More than one-half of these men
have been allowed disability compen-
Eations.
THE bureau of war risk insurance"
the-report says, SIS working harmoni-
ously with the federal board In the
endeavor to do the best thing possi-
BILE for the disabled men, and what II
rightly conceives to be the immedi-
ate offering of opportunity for special
training. by which these men. de-
spite their handicaps, may be made
efficient in some line OF civil usefnl- /
ness and given earning power"
All expenses at the school to which !
they are assigned. together with trans
portation and pay on a regular graded
scale, are met by the government.

being allowed to sit In parliament.
The house of commons is not a
tit and proper place for respectable
women to sit in" said Sir Medworth
Meux. making a speech in regard TO
the proposal. "I oppose this resolu-
tion," he continued. mot because
do not love the female sex, but be-
cause 1 adore women. But is 1t
proper thing for women to be sitting
here until / 1o'eloek at night? When
we sit until and in the morning
the historic cry of Who goes homer
will become Who will take me
homer"
In future the big Strangers Gal
iery will be open to women as well
as men, but the Ladies' Gallery will
siill continue to be restricted to the
exclusive use of women, so that what
ever OF privileged sex position still
remains in parliament will be to the
of the gentler sex. Thus
are the tables turned.
Many amusing queries are being
put to perplexed politicians. The con-
wisdom of a thousand years
had made rules. and the rules have
been for men only. One thing that
becomes a problem is the etiquette of
