sacrificed on the altar of his downfall. We
not help feeling that Mr.. Norris bears a certain
resemblance to the cruel children who enjoy tortur
ing flies, Griffith being the fly. The impression
persists of pleasure behind all the ruin and it GER
tainly cant be Griffiths.
Salt is long novel. Although it is so closely
knit in the way of printing to have less than
four hundred pages, we are not deceived. There
are three sections which might as easily be so
many Volumes owing partly to metieulous regard
for detail reminiscent of Arnold Bennett and
lettering over ugly realism to extent which, if
it had come sooner, might have saved William Rose
Benet the trouble of writing some of his most I'M
appetizing poems.
The life of Griffith and his companions at the
middle Western college which is evidently selected
as typical is a gloom compelling succession of
almost unbelievable revelations. The hidden skele
tons in the closets of the Greek letter fraernties
are brought into dazzling and relentless contact
with the light. The treatment will accumulate

preaching middle age, but parents would find it diff
cult to deny their sons college and insist upon such
a course The argument in the minds of many will
be that it is better for youth to suffer these tempa
tions early and have the ordeal over; and the ap-
palling thought may occur if these things be indeed
fact whether it might not be better to drown chill
dren very young and save it altogether. We hope
that Salt will not be responsible for this summers
crime wave.
Well-After the War.
1t will be recalled that Mr.. Norris laid his last
novel, The Amd' 9r, in the same general road Of
vice though in c. rent paths Perhaps when the
war is and l.. isn't so busy being captain he
will try his hand at something more innocent War
is supposed to have purifying effect, and so it
might easily happen. A little Christian Science,
in the sense of taking our minds away from the
diseases of the world, would be an interesting ex-
pertinent.
If you ask where the shocking parts of the book
are to be found we will that the entire book
is shocking if you to take it that way. The
reason that there has been no attempt in this
tice to make them graphic is that they wouldn't
look well and besides, we don't want to hurt the
vogue of Mr.. Norris's book by deprivng any one Of
the first glad horror

interesting and cleyerly handled to haggle over a
few Decameronian scenes. We feel an irresistible
impulse to demand if these be 'less than facts, ="
that he give facts and let if we can stand
them.
The education of Griffith Adams was ruinous
from the start although he is used as representa-
tive of the youth of the country who generally
spoken of as having "every advantage" and to
whom Mr.. Norris has applied the text: "Ye are
the salt of the earth: but if the salt have lost its
SAVIOUR, wherewith shall it be salted?' 1t is from
this text that the novel takes its unusual name.
Everything Is Wrong.
Griffith pretty little round French nurse, Pau
line, who was kind and sweet, was taken away by
his beautiful and coquettsh mother true to type in
her disapproval of either beauty or coquetry in
others, and he was left in the hands of such as
the capable Carrie firm Tipped and frequently
cruel. 1t didn't help much that among his earliest
memories was that of seeing his mother kissed by
tall professor while his father worked in happy
trust on his histories. In fact his childhood was
period of tearing down rather than building up.
With each succeeding year things go steadily
from bad to until nothing is whole that can
be broken as regards Grifith's character He
becomes cowardly, dishonest, shiftless, traitorous
every vestge of character is taken from him as the
moral scale of his environment becomes lower.

thieving was considered an amusing
eseapade. Our universities are max

men year after year, and turning

Marriage as a Doom.
A very excellent part of the story is
that which deals with Clarisse and
the love affair resulting in Griffith
marriage to this woman for whom he
felt only contempt. We knew from
the first that there was no escape.
Even as We struggled with a hope
that was long in dying we felt the in
evitability Of the thing.
We didn't want Griffith to marry
Clarisse and neither did he want to
marry her, but her utter logged
faithfulness was too much for him
and besides she danced too well.
MANY a life has been wrecked just
SOY Mr.. Norris has strengthened
Bernard Shaw's theory that man il
helpless in such case.
Fortunately the romance doesn't
end with the unhappy marriage by
any means. There are still Margaret
and Rosa and that curious little ami
NAL with the thick waving crown Of
fine spun black hair" who was Crit
fifth son.
But after all the misfortunes are
past and you are thinking it over, the
question will be whether, when
everything is said, the treatment
hasn't been too vigorous. Although
it has been intensely interesting to
the onlookers, it is doubtful if any
good will be accomplished by the
agony. Griffith got no good from the
sort of education which cannot be
denied to have turned out more re-
spectacle men than one can count. He

Every one knows that no single

If Charles Norris, who is the hus-

Many players are failing to get the
best results from the midiron by fail
ing to complete the stroke. 1t Is alb
solutely necessary to carry the stroke
clear through in order'that the clubhead
do its share, and in the full midiron shot
the clubhead should lead. BY putting
the left elbow against the body you will
obtain the best follow through. This is
what I call the bent follow through.
The player who stands with clubs ana
arms extended in one straight line after
he has played Is a more attractive look
ing figure on the golf links. but his re-
suits will not compare with the player
who is willing to sacrifice artistic effect
to distance by employing the bent fol-
low through.
In playing this shot I swing into the
imaginary line of direction and give the
ball the quickest wrist snap possible.
This should be one with relaxed wrists
and rhythmically. with perfect timing.
When this snap is properly done II gives
a throw to the clubhead that adds dis
lance. To take a little chip of sod after
you have hit the ball is the way a master
golfer plays the shot. To do so steadies
the fight of the ball in a surprising
way.
Must Go Through Turf
You will observe many players who
seem to be sort of stabbing the ball
with their midirons. This is all wrong
The clubhead has got to go through the
turf following the imaginary direction
line, with the shot played with the BEN
follow-through.
There is another point which I find it
a bit difficult to. make clear with words.
but stating it the best I can it is this:
You must find a middle ground between
tenseness and relaxness. If you play
with either too much of one or the other
your shot will not measure up to your
possibilities.
Those golfers who have been following
my articles will understand that ! be-
lieve the finger grip is the best of all
grips. and the only real tightness | cX-
perience in gripping my clubs for this
shot is tightness of the finger. In play
ing the full midiron I am always con-
scious of a good grip on my club.
Must Take Time
Here is another little trick in the mid
iron shot which it is very well to know.
DO not bring the clubhead up too quickly
on the back stroke. Take pains to bring
it back along the ground Il little ways
before going up. This little wrinkle Is Il
decided help in getting distance and con-
troll.
It is my opinion that iron shots should
be practiced z%ealously, keeping upper
most in the mind the importance of &C
curacy. I feel this way because iron
shots certainly offer the opportunity to
! some of the finest golf play. When YOU
