What makes the grass grow so ver-
dantly on the golf green's? Ordinary
folks touring in their "fivvers" past
.he palatial country clubs or even
driving of an evening along the
speedway past the municipal links
wonder why their smaller front lawn
at home does not have the same look
and texture.
Those who are not familiar with
the business end of the pastime little
realize how much labor and real
yard-square plots that adorn the
landscape.
Take by way of illustration the
ninth hole at the Columbia Country
Club, which Is one Of the best known
in this country-that cost $4,000 to
build, not to mind the constant yearly
expenditure to keep 1t in shape. This
club spends annually about $4,000
to keep its green's and fairways in
shape, and has a gang of fourteen
workmen for this job.
Experta' study Required.
Beyond this individual club expen-
diture, Uncle Sam has some soil and
plant experts engaged in study and
experimental work for the general
advice of golf clubs in practically
every community throughout the
land. These experts explain that the
special kind OF grass-creeping bent
for golf greens is not grown from
seed. These grasses. the experts
point out, produce very little viable
seed. and there is no good seed of
tho kind on the market, nor is there
likely. to be any in the near future.
Thus perishes the hope of the home
Gown lawn aspirant. Cut stems, or
tstolons, furnish the only means Of
propagating the grass. ...
This creeping grass has an efficient
means of spreading. The plants send
nut long-jointed runners, called
stolons. which can take root at each
Joint, forming new plants in much the
same manner as strawberry vines

The organized manufacturers of the
United States, more than 10000
strong. representing invested capital
or about $4,000. 100000 and employers
OF upward of 100000 workers, have
begun a concerted drive throughout
the nation to swing the next Congress
/. into line for the following four prin-
ciples:
L. Opposition to the enactment of
a soldier bonus law along the lines of
recent proposals.
2. Enactment of what the manu-
facturers regard as constructive
immigration law permitting the entry
into the country of selected groups of
workers when the need for such
workers is manifested by labor
shortage in their respective trades.
3. A legislative moratorium for the
railroads.
4. Revision downward of tax bur-
Ndens placed upon industry.
With respect to the last-named
principle, the manufacturers are ex-
tending their, efforts to state and
local governments as well. They have
come out squarely for the adoption
of the budget system by lesser units
of government and contemplate work
ing to that end in every state and
city where they have representation.

Anyone who has ever used a brace
and bit knows that in the drilling of
horizontal holes there is q great tend
ency to raise or lower the brace a
trifie while drilling, which, Of course,
results in the hole being drilled at an
angle. To overcome this tendency slip
q large washer that is free from burrs

held at an angle the washer will travel

can correct the fault instantly.
