TT COSTS MORE TO
GET TANKED UP ON
A FRIENDS BOOZE

It is more expensive to become
intoxicated on liquor received from
friends even considering the fact
that the beverage may be pure
gift, that is, if the police happen to
get their hands in the case.
This morning two men. giving
their names as John Render and Ed
Gilger, were assessed SO and costs
each by Police Magistrate D. j.
Cleland for drunkenness. When
queried as to where the liquor was
obtained, they said it was given
them by friends. Their fines were
then set at So higher than previous
amounts paid this month for the
same offense.
These two make a total of six
fined this month on q charge of
drunkenness.

Boston.-The deliberate and wilful
destruction of a French town by re-
treating Huns was recounted today
by Thomas Haydock Of Brockton,
Mass, the sole eyewitness for sew
raj hours to the burning OF Attigny.

from years service with the Sec

In the vicinity were smouldering as
a result of the terrific shell fire to
which they had been subjected, Hay
dock instinctively sensed something
amiss. .~ 80.
After four hours of wary investi-
cation on foot, while buildings COL
lapsed and loud detonations indicated
where the Hun mines bad been
planted, he decided that the enemy
had evacuated after setting in motion
their hellish machines of destruction
All the public buildings, including the
church and the hotel de vile were
either in flames or smouldering ruins.
His most startling discovery. how
ever, was that Thomas Haydock. erst-
while respected Brockton citizen and
business man, was in sole possession
of the town somewhere between the
Allied and German lines. On his left
he heard internationally the "tacl1a
tack tack of the busy machine
guns, while an occasional "Whe-e-e-e

out where Jerry" was plopping his
shells. Nor did this knowledge tend
to cheer him any.
That evening when things had
quieted a little, he determined to
make his way back to the safety of
the front lines. Upon arriving at bis

shot, with a nerve-racking. attention
to details; now 1 use one stance for
full shots, and another for half, or
quarter shots, and the details merely
approximate certain standards.
Stances are usually spoken of as
open or square, as illustrated in
previous article, and most of the
others are variations often wide ones
of these two methods.
The toe of the right foot is placed
on an imaginary straight line at right
angles to the line of play, and in the
square stance both toes are about on
the line. The relative positions OF the
feet to this line really describe the
sort of stance.
My own game was learned piece
vival of a discard of many years. 1
think / have tried every imaginable
stance. In my early days of golf II
was popular to play the open stance
with, the left foot behind the right
tried this and found myself pulling
across the ball and thereby slicipg.
1t was all right on the half and quar-
ter shots, where one could swing al
most straight, but the minute the club
gets beyond the half club length it
begins to get off the imaginary
straight line.
Square Stand is Popular.
II you watch the leading present
day players you will notice that they
all use the square stance for their
long shots. OF course, 1 mean ap-
proximately. Even in my own game
occasionally drop my eyes to my
feet and see them sometimes on the
straight line drawn at right angles
to the line to the hole, and sometimes
the left is a little ahead of the right,
or sometimes little behind the right.
but always very close to what may
be called an exactly square stance.
These little variations may be attrib-
uted to comfort obtained at that par
ticular moment by the settling of the
feet.
One day found myself playing
badly, with 10th feet pointed straight,
and just turned them out a bit and
discovered that was the ideal position
for the pivot. The heels may rise,
but neither foot should be completely
lifted.
The Topeka state journal. [volume] (Topeka, Kansas) 1892-1980, 1919-08-28

This is an unfortunate condition,
for with a stance that varies con-
siderably according to impulse no
man can be fairly certain of any par
ticular shot at any particular time.
Chance will always play a. large part
in any game, but if a man has no
particular way of holding his club, or
standing. or swinging, every stroke
will be a wild adventure into an un-
known land.

early struggles with the difficulties of

themselves into my consciousness
