formal statement that while the labor
board had had a big task to perform 1t
could render no better public service
in the existing situation than by coming
to a speedier determination of the ques-

The labor secretary said that the rail-
road workers had been extremely pa

it would be great victory for them and
their official spokesmen eff they continue
to exercise the same patience and the
same courage until the railroad labor
board has reached a decision. which every
body hopes will be at an early date
Mr.. Doak in his statement, said the
railroad labor organizations had done
everything reasonable to keep trans.

now considering means to assist ir
every manner in preventing workmer

three or four such mistakes he put
the club away for a rest.
On his next time out, evidently re-
Wondering his fault, he imme diately
heeled his first two attempts. This
trouble failed to follow his other irons,
so away went his mashie again for
another rest
On the third experiment he promptly
heeled his first mashie attempt, SUBJ
conscious memory doing the dirty
work beyond a doubt.
He hasn't taken a mashie from his
bag now in we'll over a year. He
either plays half stroke with his
jigger or full stroke with his mashie-
niblick, in both Of which clubs h. has
confidence. He is frank to say that n 10
took his mashie out again he would
almost certainly heel the first attempt,
but it may be now that the years
lay-off has been sufficient.
But through the proper use Of the
jigger and Tao mashie-niblick he has
found no great call for the mashie.
With the former two he has done as
we'll as he ever did with the latter,
30 he isnt worrying.
Change Helps
II a golfer Is driving badly he might
at times switch to another driver or
brassie with good effect. Not that it
happens to be the clubs fault. but
If he has lost confidence in the club
the result will be the same.
This rule holds good for any club
where ones confidence has been
wrecked. 1t might be argued that it is
much better to fight 1t out with that
one club. This viewpoint has its strong
side, but at least resting interval
with another club won't do any harm.
II one is consistently putting poorly
it is frequently great aid to try an
other putter. We have found that it
helped at times to switch types Of put
tiers, going from an aluminium to a
putting cleek. This might not be q
rood general rule to follow but 1t will
help in many cases.
Matters Of Psychology
Many OF these mistakes are all mat
ters Of psychology. They are not to be
explained by any physical diagrams.
And II psychology can be turned into
a helpful attitude by shifting from ono
GOOD club to another, possibly not so
good, the move should be made.
Many golfers cling to, clubs that
would be completely useless to, most
players. But they have confidence in
these old, worn-out relics and 10 con-
