Certain benefits. such as fresh air,

A game of golf, by the way. can
be made several games in one. you
may play, for instance. against an
opponent. against Colonel Boyle. and
against your own best score.
Golf may or may not equal poker
as a liberal education" but unless the
player Is a fool golf Will teach him
many things.
Golf has always taught sobriety. A
man cannot play good golf unless he
keeps his eye on the ball and the
average man cannot drink and keep
his eye on the ball.
Golf teaches mental concentration.
One can't Just hit the ball and trust to-
luck. He's got to wake up his mind
TO do a certain thing. and try his best
to do il.
Golf teaches self-mastery. A man
can't lose his temper and play golf.
He can't lose his nerve and play golf
He can't lose his head and plaNgolf.
Golf teaches honesty-as many y
man has learned to his surprise. How
often has n man who wouldn't cheat
on his score been tempted 10 improve
the lie of his ball? Some men who
wouldn't cheat an opponent have found
themselves cheating themselves.
Golf teaches good sportsmanship.
What is the good sportsman? He is
the gentleman of sport. Many a man
is sportsman enough TO lose grace
fully 1t Is harder for many to win
gracefully.
Golf teaches q man to pick out the
right men for friends to tie to. Go
camping with a man 10 try him out"
is the motto OF the woodsmen. So.
golf shows up the player. 1t lays bare
the boaster. the cheater, the buffer.
the fellow with a yellow 4streak aud
the chap with temper and malice and
jealousy. 1t reveals the tighter. the

Many commercial and industrial bodies
are forming their clubs. For in
stance the other day representatives of
the printing industry and allied trades
formed the Printing Trades Golf asso-
citation with SO charter members. Ii
will hold three tournaments this sea-
Eon. Even the high schools have their
annual tournaments for boys and
girls.
: Cities vary greatly In their attitude
toward golf. Detroit. for example,
goes in for expensive golf In exclusive
clubs. Membership probably costs ST.

golf course.

So many people are playing golf
that the American Forestry associa-
ton is getting anxious. Thus far the
advocates of forest conservation have
been generous enough nor TO look with
extreme disfavor on the use of wood

ADVICE FOR AMATEURS.

The voltages applied to the
plate circuits of simplifying
tubes are not extremely critical
and one voltage control will suf-
flee. The detector tube, how
ever. is often very critical and
an efficient potentiometer win
work wonders in controlling il.
Apparatus used for the recep-.
ton of broadcasting Is exactly
the same as that used for the
reception of code signals. The
transmitting equipment. how
ever. is different.
The use OF a single wire for
reception is advantageous be-
cause 1t lessons the amount of
objectional interference in the
way of static. II is equally as
good as a multiple wire system
for reception.
Defective "B" batteries will
often cause roaring In the teie-
phone receivers.
The electron often talked
about is the smallest known
quantity of negative electrical
energy. In motion Ii makes up
the electric current.

as a detecf0r tube and a hard

In Jock Hutchinson is seen a good
sample Of the high-class professional
whose championship skill is a mark
for every aspiring golfer TO shoot at.
whose instruction is adding yearly 10
the good golfing of the country.
A sure Indication of COLTS inereas-
ing popularity Is that there is a wide
spread movement To reduce the cost
of the game. Every municipal course
with nominal charges increases local
enthusiasm and adds to the number
of players. This is the secret of the
success of the commercial course-it
is cheaper to pay a green's fee than

seen that municipal courses in this
