Drug Evil Remedied by Prop

DES MONIES. Iowa, July 6.-Fred-
erick A. Wallis, former immigration
commissioner of New York, and E. P.
Gates Of Boston, general secretary of
the Christian Endeavor Society, were
chief speakers on todays program of
the International Christian Endeavor
convention here.
Mr.. Wallis had as a subject Chris
tian Endeavor and Neglected Groups"
pointing out how the organization
might well extend its service. The
fact that foreign trade, influence and
prestige follow in the wake of Chris
tian pioneers was the theme of Mr.
Gates.
Preventives Against Opium.
Prohibition of the poppy as the sure
way to stamp out the narcotic evil
and the selection of immigrants be-
lore they sail for America were advo-
Gated by Mr.. Wallis.
The per capita annual consump-
ton of opium in Italy is one grain in
Germany two grains, England three
grains. France four grains and the
Cnited States thirty-six grains" he
SAID turthermore, our consumption
or this drug is ever on the increase.
There must be a prohibition of the
poppy. as well as of alcohol"
Discussing immigration. Mr.. Wallis
said: Immigration can be regulated
by legislation or diplomacy, or by
both. but the immigrant cannot be
standardized. He is human being
ana must be treated as such. Every
day is Judgment day for many peo-
pie at Ellis Island. Families are cut

rated. children torn from their par
ents and mothers taken from their
children. One is taken and the other
left. right down the line 1t is all
wrong and for the nations honor 1t

Selection of Immigrants.

Is scarcely worth the paper II is
written on. Our problem today is
not the number of people who are
Knocking at the gateway, but the
Kind OF people who are knocking To
merely reduce the number is no cure
Tor the i'll. What we need in immi-
grafton is to go to the other side
and pick the people, morally, mental

would be entitled to citizenship in
this country, and if the foreign ma
tions are not willing for that, then
let the whole bunch stay at home.

palms as those of person who has never played the game.
 Jocks Variation.
 There are variations of this grip. Jock Hutchison, for instance, over laps with two fingers of the right. Some golfers overlap but do not place the left thumb on the shaft.
 Gene Sarazen and Francis Ouimet t use what we call the interlockins grip. I don't think that this would suit one golfer in a hundred, as it grew up with 1t and it's second na- ture to them.
 Many good players use the two "V'' grip with the hands barely touching each other This is the way most boys in their youth learned to hold a baseball bat. Chick Evans is a mighty fine player and he holds the club this way. Jerry Travcrs uses much the same sort of a grip.
 l prefer the Vardon grip because I can do more with it. The hands are close together and almost a unit, It Is easier to switch the hold on the club from one hand to the other this way. We start pushing the club back with left and start bringing it down with right, so that this is ac- complished without much effort The Master Hand.
 The right hand is the master hand in golf and to obtain the full power with it place the hand well behind the club. the knuclSles pointing to the ground. This enables me to hit with the side of the wrist or forearm instead of with the flat part. If one will stop to think he will recall that he uses a hammer this way to drive nail. If one pounds his fist on d table he uses the side of the fist and not the back of his hand.
 My grip for putting Is totally diff ferent inasmuch as 1 reverse the or der. I overlap the little finger of the right with the foreginger of the left This puts the entire right hand and all the fingers on the club. Some very good golfers drive this way and obtain a very good ball. If one thinks it advisable to get more of the right hand into the shot this is the grip to use.
 If one starts with the right grip, a great deal of trouble will be elmi- mated In the beginning. It is not advisable to keep trying a grip that feels uncomfortable.

We belineve ath- letfcs should play big part in the development of any boy, says Dr. Park, "and we intend to be well rep resented on the athletic field The love of athletic srorts has fine moral influence upon a boy, and in creases his morale and interest in his studies"

 The bulletin of the new school has inc following to say in regard to its athletic program: l.
 Athletics has definite place in the educational system of today With this idea in view, the Uni versity High will encourage every branch of athletics and will place considerable emphasis upon It's atm letic teams.
