Last Tuesday the Western Golf As
ISOLATION at the Edgewater Golf Club,
held field test of the new steel shaft
ed golf club. The experiments were
made by Bob Macdonald and Allan
Cow Chicago professionals and Chick
Evans, former amateur and open
champion. Bach player drove six balls
with steel shafter clubs and six with
hickory shafted clubs.
The executive committee OF the
following day announced that its in
vestigations and test sshowed that the
steel shafted golf clubs wive no me-
chanical advantage to players and
their use would be emitted in tourna-
ments conducted by this association.
1t will be remembered that the Unit
ed States Golf Association recently
barred the steel shaft, but In official
circles It is understood that this deci-
sion may be reconsidered.
Golf club manufacturers admit that
the supply Of hickory is very low and
growing scarcer each year. They also
say that only very few good hickory
shafts can be produced from every
batch OF hickory cut. This, OF course,
gives some golfers better clubs than
others. II also gives every golfer a
different quality club. The new steel
gih shafts. however. provide every
gofer with exactly the same quality
clubs. This new development gives
the 100 and over player Just as good
clubs as the professional or champion
has had.
Golfers say that these new steel
shafts made their clubs feed good and
hang right They are lighter than
hickory so that the weight OF the club
ia brought lower an dthe balance is
consequently more perfect. This nice
ty OF balonce, OF course, is what golf
ers are constantly lookin gfor. 1t per-

mits them to feel the head and thus
hit the ball more naturally.
The steel shaft will not help you
drive further nor straighter as was
wroven this week in Chicago, but it
does give the average golfer a better
club-it gives him more confidence in
his game. AS we heard one man say
the other da: mo cub is going to help
a man keep his eye on the ball any
better" And as leading professional
said recently: mo one can make a
golf club which will give man a golf
game, but II you can make him
stroke. he can use any old club and
get good results"
When a club feels good In your
hands; when It hangs right. then's
when you play better gof. 1t therefore
seems that It Is the beautiful balance
Of the steel shafts which is making
them 30 popular.

SOUTHERN POTATO GROWERS
USING MORE CERTIFIED SEED

In some Southern states where pota'
toes are an important crop growers
are taking an increasing interest In
certified seed, but according to state
officials and representatives of the
United States Department of Agricul,
ture, who are cooperating with them
special legislation is necessary to pre-
vent local seedsmen from selling ord
mary seed stock or even table stock
as certified seed.
Many growers now recognize the
value Of superior seed and are willing
to pay a premium for It, but they are
discouraged by frauds perpetrated
upon them by INSCRIPTIONS dealers
However, the farmers may protect
themselves to a great extent If they
will look for the cerification tag
which should be on every sack OF GER
titled seed potatoes. With this tag to
start from II is possible to trace any
lot fseed back to the grower or deal
or who put It up.
Not only the growers, but many OF
the seed dealers have been impressed
with the Importance of getting In moth

Lying on her cot in Ryburn hospit-

ing eighteen bichloride of mercury
tablets with suicidal intent, Mrs. Lor-
raine Hayes, divorce complainant
and mother Of ;lne baby daughter,
is one Of the few mercurial poison
ing victims who SO far has not said
whether she cares to live or die. To
day she became stOical in her atti-
tude toward the future. She so far
has merely expressed one desire and
that is to leave the hospital and re-
turn to her home in the Opera House
apartments.
70 no one has she expressed "a
wish to get well, nor has she spok-
en- a desire to die. She appears to be
dazed over the predicament she finds
herself in and too stunned to take
accounting Of all that led up to her
rash decision to take her own life,
when Yesterday she dissolved the
mercury tablets in a glass Of water
and then swallowed its contents.

young woman announce today that

mined, however, until several days

pumping out the stomach is all that
saved her life, if she lives through
the present ordeal f.. p. Hathaway,

was used as soon as Mrs. Hayes was
taken into the hospital, and it is be
lcvod that the poison was eliminated
