Letting the Club Do the Work.
Z, The secret of the golf stroke is In
letting the club do the work. We have
watched many golfers, some of them
champion buck passers. They have
been letting other fellows do their
work for years; whenever there has
been anything to do so far as they
were concerned, someone else could
attend to 1t. But out on the golf
course they are different. Then they
persist in trying to do, themselves, the
work which the particular club In
hand was designed to do. In other
words, the only time they should let
something else do the work they
stubbornly refuse, thinking they
themselves can do it better. 1t is
strange but 1t is hard to get into the
average golfers head that if the Lord
had intended his shoulders to loft a
ball into the air He'd have shaped
them like mashie. = Detroit Free

EASY TO BUILD FIRE ON ICE

Carbide or more properly, calcium

in Science and Invention. 1t is hard
gray stone-like material and no doubt
familiar to you as the gas-generating
medium employed in some kinds Of
bicycle lamps. When brought in con-

gas, acetylene, which gives brilliant
light when properly burned.

Fire and Ice Combined.

Of water (32 degrees F.) ice is always

The heat generated by the chemical
reaction melts more ice, making more
heat and generating more gas, so that
in a moment the humps will have begun
to bore little holes In the ice. If q

lene gas ignites and burns with bright
but smoky flames so that to the
observer the ice appears to be burn

much carbon, when it is burned in the

insufficient oxygen to burn up all this
