THE WHY OF COLE.
Expert Attempts to Solve the Problem
for KS


Golf is largely a game of coordination
pf muscular movements, particularly OF
chose of vision and those that produce
she stroke. When any simple or complex
movement of coordination IS acquired
very early in life walking and running,
or example. it becomes what is popu-
arly called natural; that is, it becomes
automatic. involuntary, and its direct
ion is assumed by the unconscious. The
conscious mind often takes charge, but
when il persists in doing so for any length
Of time the results are aifectatlon,
pedantrv. or even grotesqueness. The
problem of the golf novice IS to acquire n
troke that is as natural TO him as his
gait. An individual with slouchy, shut
ding locomotion can be taught to walk
gracefully il he has no gross structural
defect particularly If instruction is be-
gun before he becomes fixed in his ways.
Ii is the same with the golfer He must
acquire Il stroke of some kind. then in
trust it to the unconscious self to operate
it, Every time the conscious takes hand
in it's direction it makes q mess of it, in
the golfers prhaSeology. Hense the player
who is not expert, and concentrates on
pivoting, dipping the left shoulder, keep
ing the right elbow on line parallel
with the revolving torso, going back
slowly gripping with the right 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
soon finds that he must learn to swing
his club rythmically and after that add
| force to it. To accomplish this. after he
has been shown how to stand, to hold
the club and to swing it. he must take a
club, bag of balls, and if aff1uent, a
| boy to chase them and withdraw to some
| secluded part of the links and hit balls.

Deaconess Leaves
Settlement House

There Is general regret over the
fact that serious illness brought
about the departure OF Miss Ella
Bateman. deaconness in charge Of
the Engle settlement house on
Washington street. Miss Batemau
has succeeded in tho past four
months in establishing d wonderful
work among the foreign speaking
people OF Fairmont, It Is said.
Tho settlement house has been
crowded with her English classes
Of evenings, and tho Sunday SER
vices have been IN inspiration to
witness. In the few short weeks
which Miss Bateman has remained
the good accomplished has been
tremendous and her loss will he
almost irfeparable, according to
those interested in the settlement.
For some time Miss Bateman
has not been we'll, and upon the
advice of her physician she re-
linQuished her work and left last
night in company with Miss Hart
right, a sister deaconcss, for
Washington, D. c., whore she will
enter SFblay hospital. an insutu-
ton maintN'ned by he Methodist
Episcopal Woman's Missionary So
ciety. Twelve young Italian men
accompanied her party TO the train
after short prayer service which
Miss .Bateman conducted from her
sick bed.
The youths tenderly carried
their teacher from her automobile
to her train and did everything
for her comfort that their willing
hands could find TO do. The work
at the settlement will be taken
over temporarily by Miss Elizabeth
Jones, dcaconess. who has been
making a survey Of conditions at
SCOTS Run and at mining towns
In the vicinity OF Morgantown.
Miss Jones will continue at the
settlement with tho classes as
usual, until relieved by another
deaconess who will be appointed
for the work. There is no inten.
ton on the part Of the local women
to close the settlement. The work
ID of too great promise to relln-
quish, 1t is claimed, and from all
appearance will soon outgrow It's
present quarters.

mast What said I meant"
The extraordinary meeting oil
the Ard Fheim. the national SinD
Fein convention, supplying an op-
portunity for revealing the extent
to which the Sim Fem clubs OF
Ireland are supporting tho new
provisional government, opened
amidst tense excitement in the
rotunda Of the Mansion house to-
day.
After the delegates, who crowd
ed the confines OF the meeting
room, had been seated, a contest
developed over the question Of the
method OF taking vote on the re.
solutions setting forth tue attitude
Of the convention.
Austin Stack, minister Of home
affairs in the De Valera cabinet,
opposed secret ballot, saying he
saw no reason why the delegates
should not publicly declare their
sentiments.
In a showing OF hands, canon
de Valera, who presided, declared
those in favor OF open voting had
won their point.
Michael Collins, head OF the pro-
visIonal government, assented to
this decision, thus checking :, OBJ
jections to the speakers ruling.
1t was finally decided to retain
the ballot form Of voting but to
make the vote public. The dele
gates, it was agreed, should write
their names on the back Of the bal
card.
A motion to vote at Z p. m. in
stead OF 5 p. m. as had been pro-
posed was decided upon.

instructed by their home clubs how

fInitely made up their minds.

that If at p. nj. the convention

Michael Collins came forward at
this juncture. Flo received the
greatest demonstration for the con-

he favored free and full discussion
