Health In Golf.

No out-of-doors exercise, such a.
golf. tennis cricket. rowing or riding
has ever killed anyone except through
accident ! have been a golf player
for the past Is years and as a physi.
clan can testify TO It's great health.
building qualities.
What n real surprise you would
get IL someone should say-"Don't &c
out and play golf, II may kill you"
Yet we are continually hearing this
advice, In one way and another from
those who should know better.
The death OF A. r. Smith secre-
tary OF Dover College, England, while
playing golf, has been made the sub
iect Of much newspaper comment
on both sides OF the ocean. 1t Is not
right to exaggerate such events. IT
scares a lot of old fellows out of
their only fun in life. Golf wasn't
to blame at all, but something else
in body condition, that golf helps
to overcome every day.
Mr.. Smith was IS years of age.
The broadcaster at once gave out
this query-"At what age should
golfers quit the gamer" John d. is
almost 30 and still at II. 1t might
just as well be asked, at what age
should we begin?
No definite information or statistics
are available, on the age of golf play
ers, in the hundreds of clubs In this
country. The only statistics we have,
Is that thousands are greatly bene-
flied every day by this open-air exer-
else. To say that arteriosclerosis
Gardening Of the arteries) has pro-
crossed so far, at so, that golf club
swinging is dangerous--is pure bunk.
The fact is, there is much CO.
ordination between mind and muscles
in this wonderful game. The leg
muscles are strengthened, also those
of the abdomen, back and shoulders.
The ankles, which often stiffen UP
a bit at 50-are kept free and supple
by stretching, and turning. While
the strokes, hazards and distances
keep the mind interested.
A new club has recently been
formed In Chicago, limiting its mem
bership to those over SO. Over 100
sign up the first week.

HUMAN WONDER"
FOuS DEATH BUT
GOES TO PATTON

Henry Focht of Brawley, also
known as Henry Foe, the man who
lived after putting a bullet through
his head early in the month, was
committed to the state insane hos
pital at Patton yesterday afternoon
by Judge NJ. W. Conkling, following
a hearing in Department No. 2 of
the superior court. Evidence in
the case tends to show that Focht :
mind has become deranged through
excessive use of alcoholics, causing
him to have q suicidal mania.
On April l, after several attempts
10 kill him self, Focht succeeded in
sending a bullet from .35 calibre
pistol through his head. He WIS
rushed to the hospital and all hope
for his recovery was abandoned. He
surprised police and officials, how
ever, by refusing to die, and when
he had recovered consciousness,
laughed and joked with them.
At yesterdays hearing he main
tanned that the wound IN his head
had been caused in an automobile
accident, when he was thrown from
a car which his son was driving. He
was more or less mixed up on other
matters OF his personal history, and
the court decided to commit him too
Patton where he can be protected
from himself until such time as his
mind recovers. He was taken north
to the institution last night.
