is easy to bit the ball correctly, and
sometimes fine scores are made.
But the golfer must not delude him
self. The time is not far dis slant when
green's committees will. lift the win
ter rules and then the bad lie that
became a teed-up ball under winter
rules will again become a girl in
reality, and the score will suffer in
consequence 1t would be better for
golfers in the spring If they did not
take advantage Of the temporary rule
except where the lie is downright bad.
OF course, the winter rule is put into
effect to save the grass, and the early
golfer should take care particularly
with the iron clubs that the grass is
not ruined by his divot-taking. How
ever, for the permanent Improvement
of his game he would better play the
ball where it lies. This ability to
play from a difficult lie he will find
very useful later in the season.
Practice Short Game.

twelfth. thirteenth and sixteenth are
notable examples of the carries
necessary to make a really good score
on this course. The carry from the
front of the tenth tee over the top
of hill from which the surface of
the green may be seen measures 1870
yards OF course there is ample
room for the short player. The carry
over the bunker slightly to the right
of the center of the twelfth fairway
is more than $50 yards. while a
carry OF 160 yards is necessary on
the line to the hole at the thirteenth.
Plenty of room is left at the left
of the fairway at the sixteenth for
the short player, but the long hitter
who essays the long carry must hit
a ball which carries It's yards. The
course architect. who laid out the
new holes, has done good work in
so planning the holes that the expert
must play fine golf. while there is

Improper timing, lifting of the
head. swaying of the body, and i'm
proper stance are a few of the evils
which the. golfer who is not an ex-

times he believes he Is swinging
right, and is not able to find out
his trouble. A few moments with
the club professional will cure him
for the time being. but the major
cure lies within the player himself.
Close attention to the mechanics of
the golf stroke. and an attempt to
construct it along proper lines by
the player himself will do more to
build up the game than anything
else.
At this time of year on many win

DREAM IS AT

Married Four Times Without Children, She Finally
 Adopts Baby.

NEW YORK, Jan 27.-Nora Bayes' Hfe's dream has come true. She has q babe. Although married four t.mes the musical comedy star had never been blessed with motherhood Her ambition has been to raise a daughter perhaps to take her place in the bright lights of the stage when she departs.
 So Nora has adopted a little, laughing, dhree-year-old mite from the Alice Chapin Adoption Nursery. Ever since last April little Irene Bobe has been the center of attrac- ton in the Bayes home. lfene's mother is dead and the whereabouts of the father is unknown.
 Miss Bayes and her counsel told Surrogate O'Brien that she just couldn't bear to part with little Irene and her attorney assured the court that his clients income as a musical star was enough to ensure the child all the comforts of a real home. So the baby's name is now LeOnora Hayes, the same as that of her foster mother
 Miss Bayes' husbands, in order of sequence were: C. A. Crossing. Chi cago; Jack Norworth, vaudeville actor; Harry Clarke, dancing part ner, and Arthur A. Gordon, known on the stage as Paul Gordon.

ATLANTIC CITY, N. J, Jan. 27.- The American Indians as a, race are not dying, as so many people think. On the contrary, they show this year a slight numerical increase as combared to 12 months ago, ac- cording to .,Dr. E. E.

 Dr. Higley disclosed this condition in an address at the annual meeting in this city of the Home Mission council Of the church. The Indian census q year ago showed 340.S3S In. diars; now they number 3i0.9t7.
 There is no field of home mission ary ondeayoy where the spirit and processes of cooperation among these denominational boards and workers is more manifested than in the field of christian work among h. dians, continued pr Higley.

Indians are to be found in any at preciable number.
 There are 90,000 Indian boys and girls between five and 16 years Of age who are of school age, abont 30 900 are enrolled in government schoolsKi tn s0.0o0 in public schools, and the remaining 30,000 are still without school privileges. h the Indian schools especial emphasis is put upon agriculture and home eco monies. In the large non-reservation schools many trade courses are pro- vided. The manner in which the Indian Bureau for the last two years has worked for the fuller enrolment of unsehooled Indian boys and girls, is matter for favorable comment.
 Christian Training
 Tn the old days the Indian cen tered everything around his religion, and his religion entered into every phase Of his life. He cannot under stand a christianity which is not in some way related to his physical wcllbeing. to his planting and his harvesting. At present health condi- tions in many places are deplorable. The christian order of the day is for social and community services which are an expression of the re- ligion of Jesus that shall Dc suffi- cicnt for bo.h worlds, this world and the world to come. That social religion appeals to the Indian. The modern program Of the rural church among Indians Is needed for the young people coming home from school life. They do not want to return 10 their pagan religions, they know they are false. The church must plan q moro careful program for Indian endeayor which will sat isfy the religious intellect and social desires of the youth as yell as the aged. The church must even use the Indian dialect, but it must em. phasize English speech in training native leadership.
 "The church must discover and develop trained and native chris tian leadership. Tho Indian young people shohld be encouraged to go further than the sixth grade com monly provided by the government reservation schools. Educated h. dian farmcrs and their wives, teach CTS and other professional men and women. and well-trained Indian missionary above all, are urgently needed"
