VILLAGE OF SWISS WOMEN
Men Live Only Temporarily at Cham.
perry Because of Constant Lack
of Work.

The village Of Champery, In Switzer-
land, canton of Valais, from which
the ascent Of the Dent de Midi Is
started, according to the Berliner Nor
genpost, has two claims to fame; its
beautiful location and the fact that 1t
is inhabited most of the time exclusive
ly by women. Only a few officials be-
long so the strong sex, whose repre-
sentatives, although natives of the
village, stay there only temporarily.
The reason for this strange phenome-
non is that there is no work for the
men. The little agricultural labor re-
quired for the poor acres of the sur
rounding land is performed by the
women. The men 9f Champery are
therefore compelled TO look for work
abroad.
The women are beautiful and strong.
They wear neither skirt nor corset, but
breeehes and jerkin. while red hand
kerclAef wound around the head
serves as a hat. The young girls
amuse themselves with dancing, of
which they are particularly fond. and
with skiing. The old women indulge
passiOnately in smoking, and fill their
pipes with self-raised herbs.

The Miami Herald mildly remon-
strates with Chicago gentleman who
intimates that lynching is a popular
outdoor sport in the Magic City. The
Herald says there hasn't been lynch
ing in Miami in twenty-five years. We
don't remember any excessive ten
dency of the people of Miami toward
lynching, but we daresay in that town.
as in many others, few necktie
parties would bring about an improve

Clayton c. Codrington, editor >of
the DeLand News, and secretary Of
the Associated Dailies of Florida,
sends to members of the association
ard some other papers handsome
Christmas cards, each carrying the
following well known old verse, which
he says is what "The Editor Should
Be-:
"For the right that needs assistance;
against the wrong that needs resist
ance;
"For the future in the distance
"And the good that he may do"
Good sentiment, Clayton, and one
that we have unsuccessfully tried to
live up to. If editors try, and keep
on trying, they can do much good
even if they do not succeed.

HORSESHOE PITCHER
GIVES EXHIBITION
c. c. Davis, Champion, Shows
Local Pitchers How to
Hurl Shoes.

South Bend horseshoe pitching
enthusiasts were given a treat yes
terday afternoon at the local pitch
ing courts at Springbrook park
when Charles Z Davis, champion
horseshoe pitch Of the world. gave
an exhibition.
Davis pitching was a revelation
10 the large gathering of fans who
witnessed his feats. In his exhibit
ton he pitched ringer after ringer.
He tossed the shoes at the stake
with a blanket held up in front OF
the objective hiding it from view
He pitched four ringers IN success
sion IN this manner. He then
stood a horseshoe against the stake
and rung each side Of il without
knocking II down. He stuck a
match and a cigaret on each side OF
the stake and rung each Of them.
Clay was placed around the stake in
order that the shoes he pitched
would stay when they hit and each
ringer was made clean without
touching the stake He then pitch
ed exhibition matches against var
ious members Of the 81. Joe Valley
league and outclassed them so far
ID was amusing.
In a short speech after the show
Davis told how he became SO pro-
fcient IN the art Of horseshoe pitch
ing. He said he had studied II and
has il down so that every shoe he
hurls at the stake turns Just one and
seven eighths times in the air. Dav-
is is IS years old and halls from Col

First Learn to Handle
Your Clubs, Says Herd
BY ALEC HERD.


There IS a beginning 20 everything,
and merclfully, perhaps, there is an
ending 10 everything. Not a very
profound statement, you viii say.
True enough. but what 1 wish 10
point out is that a good beginning IN
golf as in life itself, is more than
haH the battle. Begin badly, or n
other words. begin n the wrong
way. and you are simply storing up
trouble which viii probably never
be cured This Is why I'm the series
~ articles which I am writing for
the Daily Express and United Press,
I am going 20 address myself 20 the
absolute beginner.
The beginner at golf is Ike the

brings its new recruits and 10 Is be-
cause so many OF them-the major
ity might say-have such very
hay ideas how best 20 embark on
this most fascinating and difficult OF
all games, that we are rapidly pro-
ducing a race OF c 8 golfers The
average novice sallies forth burden
ed with a number 4 obsessions ana

little or nothing do not know
which IS the more harmful his
brand new bag Of brand new clubs
or his obsessioas.
Keep your eye on the BALI -
one preposSessiou which has prob
ably permanently injured the style
OF more beginners than any OF the
others L IS a definite injunction 20
put down a ball and try 20 hit il.
You frequently hear OF people
who surprise themselves and their
friends by the ease with which they
get The ball away az their first at
tempt. The game IS not So dsfiicuit
after all they declare bouyantly
and then comes the awakening
The ball becomes infinitely small
and extraordinarily elusive when
next they try. and in a panic OF de-
SPAR and disappointment they slash
away anyhow. This Is when the dis
ulusioned beginner should be taken
firmly in hand.
No novice az golf should be
trusted with a ball in his first fort
night. until he has learned how 20

the inter-locked grip under the I'M
preston that IL possesses peculiar
virtues. Il IS used, Of course, by
many great golfers. but I think that
for the majority Of people with
hands Of average size the palm grip
is the safer. Personally. fnd
that IL gives me a securer hold on
the club. and for the novice I think
the-shaI I say somewhat cOmpL-
Gated Arrangement OF the fingers
in the .nterlocking strip is apt TO be
disconcerting. Two of the greatest
OF the many opponents Of the palm
grip are Mr.. John BALM my
Cninion the finest amateur golfer
wh7 ever lived-and Abe Mitchell.
Having definitely decided on the
most suitable grip. the next thing IS
10 acquire the correct swing. This
can only be done under the guidance
of a proficient coach. and as I have
previously said. without the distrac-
ticn-.n the begin1lng-of having
10 hit the hall. I do not know why
ID u.s. but a golf ball exercises a hyp-
motto effect on most people. You
see men with years Of experience
practising AT daisy heads round the
first trees Their swing - practical
" all that could be desired. but
when their turn comes 10 play,
they snatch AZ the ball ike the
merest tyro.
These are the people who have
begun wrongly. Their aim Is 70 hit
the bail somehow. anyhow. The true
golf swing. full Of grace and rythm,
remains with them as a kind Of
ideal an ideal which
they are incapable Of putting into
execution at the moment Of the test
This is why I insist on a fort
lights practice az swinging as a
start. 90 that control OF the club
and the perfect rhythm 0fthe stroke
form the natural basis OF the game.
When these have been acquired the
pupil may practice hitting a ball
into a net but do not advise too
much work az the nets.
