REPETITION OF

cessful at Golf, Chick
Evans Says
BY CHARLES (CHICKD EVANS. JR.

'
Il is always pleasant to write down
the first day of the month. or the first
day of the week it is a sort Of a be-
ginning and ii gives one q fresh start
as it We're. II is like tile end of the first
nine hoes whereon you have'made many
a mistake, and you are at last deter
mined TO put over fine finishing nine.
Just at this time the real golf sea-
son of the Middle West begins. and if
il were not for the war there would he
hundreds of tournaments and frequent
mention OF them. Until June the courses
hereabouts are just rounding into shape,
but now they are in their very best con-
dition of the whole season: later on they
will become hard and burned under the
suns of July and August June is really
the perfect month for golf in this part of
the world, and the extra hour of daylight
Is a special joy.
Always Practicing
think that the real beneflt from my
extra hour of golf is the fact that
am practicing over and over again
the good ideas that came to me not so
many days back. And this thought leads
me to mention the Importance of con-
stant repetition of the proper execution
of shots until they become practically
automatic. That is the way to learn golf
II is impossible to bear all the necessary
golden rules in mind while you are play
ing. No one can really do that. and,
therefore. il Is necessary TO play enough
each period to make the proper cXecu-
ton of shot sort Of second nature,
Every player has some little. special
rules and they are used on important
occasions, but the fellow who has prac-
ticed TO the last conscious point Is the

All l. have been doing lately is re-
peating over and over again the partic-

then a new, little idea slips in, but be-
fore I know it l am hitting the ball well
and not thinking much about the rea-

and when YOU feel the ball hitting the
surface cleanly your confidence comes

FOOD REGULATIONS

A threat of Communicating flour and sugar
was made on February 10, by Food Admins
traitor Harry A. Wheeler, of Illinois, who
believes that the shortage of both commodi-
ties is due to transportation congestion.
The order requiring housewives to buy one
pound of substitute cereal for every pound OF
flour has been revoked for the present, ow-
ing to the prevalent shortage of substitutes.
They are now allowed to buy two pounds of
-four with one pound of substitutes instead
of in equal amounts. This rule, however, is
not expected to be in force longer than March
1, when in all probability it will revert to the
half and half program.
To insure good supply of eggs during the
coming season, the food administration has
issued an order that no pullets or hens may be
killed and sold to dealers between February
II and April 80.
The order reads as follows:
"The licensee shall not between Feb. II
and April 80 purchase, ship, sell or negotiate
the sale of any live or freshly killed hens or
pullets, provided, however, that this shall not
prevent the purchase, shipment or sale be-
tween Feb. II and Feb. % of hens or pullets
which were either killed or shipped prior to
Feb II to markets for sale as food and pro-
vided further that nothing in this rule shall
prevent the purchase, shipment or sale of
live hens or pullets for egg production pur-
poses"
According to Lapsley c. Ewing, president
of the Louisville Cereal Mill Company, the
large demand for corn meal has caused mills
to start up all over the country. These mills
could easily supply the demand, if they had
the material In the East, however, some of
the largest mills have been forced to close
for lack of hominy,

MONDAY CLOSING ORDER
SUSPENDED
&C. B. W.
1R51L L151R515252S2575757575

Suspension of the fuelless Monday order
was announced from Washington on Feb
ruary 13, by Fuel Administrator Garfield.
Improved weather conditions, Mr.. Garfield
said, had made it seem advisable to allow
industries to operate next Monday State
fuel administrators, however, are given
power to keep the order in effect wherever
it may appear necessary.
In the New England states the situation is
much more serious than in the rest of the
country and it is probable that the state ad-
ministrators in that section will continue to
enforce the order for some time. Mr.. Gar
field made it clear that his action constitutes
merely suspension of the order and if coal
shortages again become acute, he reserves
the right to reinforce it.
Under the original order six more heatless
Mondays were to have been observed.
Director General McAdoo warns that there
are still six weeks of winter weather with the
possibility that SHOWS and blizzards may in.
terfere with railroad operations. He states
that while he heartily approves of DR.. Gar
fields suspension of the closing order, he de-
sires to remind the people of the country
that there still remains the necessity for
economy of coal. There will be continual
tion of the freight embargoes and the pre-
ferential list for coal consumers.

the oppressed workers and peasants of other
countries, declared on Feb. 10, in the name of
the council Of the peoples commissaries of

1t will be remembered that the Ukrainian
rada, few weeks ago, declared their inde-
pendence of Russia, this step resulting in
the formation Of new republic in southern
Russia. Ukraine comprises the famous
black-soil region Of southern Russia; it in
cludes one of the richest wheat raising coun-
tries in the world and has great natural re-
sources. This peace agreement will, of
course, open up an outlet for her grain,
which has been cut off from the markets Of
the world for more than three years.
Alexander A. Bublikoff, who held the po-
sition of minister of roads and communica-
tions in the first of the Russian revolutions,
and who is now in New York, is quoted in
special dispatch to the Chicago Tribune of
February IL, as predicting that declaration
OF peace between Russia and Germany must
inevitably lead to the economic and political
domination of Russia by Germany. Peace,
ne said, would be followed by an avalanche of
German goods. Inasmuch as paper money
would have no value in Germany, the Ger

has caused shortage of food supplies in the
United States and has curtailed shipments
abroad It also has caused loss to the
rmers, reducing business generally
throughout the agricultural sections.
The need for speedy transportation has
been urged by grain interests which have
shown that between 80 and 40 per cent Of
corn, this year, contains so much moisture,
it will spoil quickly unless hastened to eleva-
tors and dried.

PRESIDENT WILSON LAYS DOWN BAS
IS OF FUTURE PEACE NEGOTIATIONS

President Wilson, addressing Congress in
joint session on February II, replied to the
recent speeches of German Chancellor Won
Hertling and the Austrian foreign minister,
Count Czernin, concerning peace terms. The
President addressed, not so much Congress,
as the central powers. Following the GUS
tom inaugurated with other addresses of it's
kind his words were cabled to all the princi-
pal capitals of the world
The President stated that Chancellor Won
Hertling's recent declarations were vague,
confusing, and equivocal. Count Czernin' S
speech, however, was very different in tone.
"Czernin," he said, "seems to see the funda-
mental elements of peace with clear eyes and
does not seek to obscure them.''
President Wilson laid down the basis of
future peace negotiations in the following
terms:
Il. That each part of future settlements
must be based upon the essential justice of
each particular case, and on such adjustment
most likely to bring peace permanently
Y. That peoples and provinces are not
to be bartered about from sovereignty to
sovereignty as the shuttles and pawns in a
game, even the great game now forever dis
credited.
80. Every territorial settlement involved
in this war must be made in the interests of
ana Tor Ine DeneHC OF the population con-
cerned and not as part of a mere adjustment
or compromise of claims among rival states,
and -
"All world-defned national aspirations
shall be accorded the utmost satisfaction that
can be accorded them without the introduc-
tion of new or fluctuating old elements of dis
cord and antagonism that would be likely to
encourage break in the peace of Europe
and of the world.
General peace erected upon such founda-
tions can be discussed"
The president had been counseled by some
OF his official advisers against making the ad-
dress at this time He went ahead, however,
and let it be known that he intends to wage
peace as well as war. He gave assurances to
the central powers that he is willing to make
concessions in regard to the fourteen condi-
tions of peace he enunciated on January 8.
According to Arthur Sears Henning,
Washington correspondent of the Chicago
Tribune, the president will be disappointed
if the Teutonic statesmen do not make an
early reply to his address. If these replies
are forthcoming, he will be ready with re-
joinder, confident that continuation of this
process will provide basis for the conclu-
sion of peace.
