THE WHY OF GOLB


 From What Is the Matter With
 Your GolfT' by Joseph Cellins. in
 Scribners.
 Golf is largely . game of Co., ordination of muscular movements, particularly of those of vision and those that produce the stroke. When any simple or complex movement of coordination Is acquired very early in life, walking and running, for OK ample. 1t becomes what is popularly called natural; that Is, 1t becomes automatic, involuntary. and its di- rection is assumed by the unconsci- ousI The conscious mind often takes charge, but when 1t presists in doing so for any length of time the results are affectation. pedantry, or even grotesQueness. The problem of the golf novice Is to acquire a stroke that is as natural to him as his gait. An individual with a slouchy, shuffling locomotion can be taught to walk gracefully if he has no gross structural defect, particu- larly if instruction Is begun before he has become set or fixed in his ways. It is the same with the golfer. He must acquire a stroke of some kind, then intrust it to the uncon- scious self to operate it. Every time the conscious takes hand in it's direction 1t makes mess of 1t, in the golfers phraseology.
 Hence the player who is not ex- pert, and who concentrates on pivot ing, dipping the left shoulder, keep ing the right elbow on a line parallel with the revolving torso, going back slowly, gripping with the right hand at the top of the swing, and the score of other things that he has been told he must do to improve his game. usually finds that the more he attempts to do any or all of them the worse his game becomes. He soons finds that he must learn to swing his club rhythmically. and after that add force to 1t. To &C., complish this. after he. has been shown how to stand. to hold the . club and to swing 1t, he must take club. a bag of balls, and. If af fluent. boy to chase them, and withdraw to some secluded part of ] the links and hit the balls. one after the other. countless times with force adapted to the drive, the approach. or the putt until the stroke becomes automatic. until everything that makes for efficiency becomes uncon- scious.

Utilization of waste water to in- crease the production of power by hydroelectric plants Is made pos sible through the invention of Bir- mingham engineer. O. G. Thurlow, chief engineer of the Alabama Power company. The new invention, or method, Is known as the "Thurlow Backwater Suppressor," and the first installation of this suppressor Is be- ing made at Mitchell dam. now un- der construction on the Coosa river This installation Is being observed with deep interest by engineers of the country for the reason that it Is expected to increase the power ca pacity of the dam by 10 per cent. with very little additional cost Of construction. Mitchell dam was de- signed to produce 10000 of horse power, but with the "Thurlow Back water Suppressor" in use, 1t Is ex- pected to produce 120. 900 horsepower.
 Brief details of the experiments leading up to the perfection of the Thurlow suppressor will prove of great interest to engineers and stu dents of hydroelectric power de- velopment. These experiments were conducted in Birmingham. and 1t Is highly creditable to thls city that such a highly important method Is to be given the name of a Birming- ham man.
 J. A. Sirnit, chief electrical engi- neer of the Alabama power company has prepared the following interview detailing the experiments made by engineers of the company and fore casting what the perfection of the "Thurlow Baekwater Supressor" will mean to the future of hydroelectric power development:
 Suppreksor Developed
 There are many power plants and possible sites for such plants where the supply of water Is very irregular, and where, owing to the nature Of the surrounding country, it Is im- possible to supply sufficient storage for the utilization of all water flow ing in the stream. Those so-calleo run-o -of-river plants are working un- der great handicap during consider able part of the time when the ca pacity of the plant and the efficiency of the generating units are greatly reduced. And this does not only happen when there is lack of water but when there is an over- abundance of it. or in other words, during the flood period.
 "In many hydraulic power plants,
 
 now In operation or proposed, there Is, or will be, a great loss of power annually, due to the fact that during flood conditions when water is being wasted over the spillway, the level of the water in the tailrace at the outlets of the draft tubes leading from the turbines is raised. thus re- ducing the head on the turbines and in turn their capacity and the out rut of the power plant. There are many notable examples of these con ditions, and in some cases reduction in effective head on the turbines be- comes so great at times as to com pletely shut down their power
 "The most logical and simplest way to maintain the normal head on the waterwheel, and thereby the run capacity of the plant, during flooa periods, is to remove the high tall water from the discharge opening and credit is due MT, o. c. Thurlow' chief engineer of the Alabama Power company, who conceived the idea Of utilizing the waste water to accom- plish this fact. thereby successfully

Cucumber Insects
 There is long list of cucumber in- sects but the one often complained about is the most difficult to control There are two different beetles that do tie most damage. One is called the spotted cucumber beetle and the other the striped. The beetles attack the leaves and young stems of the plants. They lay eggs in the soil around the base of the plants, which soon hatch out small whitish worms, which attack the roots and stems of plant, causing 1t to wilt and die. Many of the worms bore into the fruit. All sorts of remedies are reccm- mended but no specific has ever been found. Any poison dust spray does greatly reduce the injury. Tobacco in some form. as dust or spray has proven of great benefit. The writer has found that mixing hand ful Of tobacco dust in the soil around each plant and keeping the plants dusted with same afterwards reduces the injury to a minimum. The treat ment ought to start before the plants begin to run or when very small. A made in Birmingham known as Vaycide 40 Dust a poison dust spray, is very beneficial in re- polling this pest.

LiouId vs. Powder Sprays

Every day we are asked the ques- ton, which is the best. the liquid or dust spray? To answer this, it is necessary to explain that both meth- ods have their good points and that much depends on the trouble to be treated, as to which method is better. The development of appliances for application Jf liquids has advanced more rapidly in the past few years than has the improvement in dust guns. It has been easier up to the present time to apply liquids than powders, but very recently many im- preVements have been made in dust sprayers so the margin of difference In economical application has been greatly reduced. In dust sprays one does not have the bulk and weight of water to contend with. and it is pos sible to use many valuable remedies not possible in liquid mixtures. You don't have so much trouble with dust guns ciogging up. For insects. bugs, worms lice, etc., the dust spray has largely superseded the iiquid spray particularly in the vegetable garden. For fungus diseases, and particularly on trees and especially those having slick foliage, the liquid spray is prob- ably the best as more easily and thoroughly distributed.
