1t is our proud boast, however,
that golf suits all conditions of men,
ANDY that is really true in a very
general sense, for almost every con-
dition of mankind is represented on
the links. BUT this is question as
to the best physical qualifications
for expert golf.
Opinions ON the subject are in
teresting. Personally 1 am in
cIined to believe that q rather
slender man of medium size finds
it easier to acquire the shots.
Golf Is game of rhythmical mo-
ton, and the strong, tight-muscled
young athlete frequently finds
the stroke difficult.
The ideal golf stroke necessitates
a twist at the waist, and too much
flesh is likely to interfere with said
twist. We have all seen the slender
young player almost turn himself
into a letter 50 when he makes a
beautiful shot. The golfer must
have a free movement and his
mucles must be sinewy.
Now as to the question of height.
It is surprising how successful the
small man has been in golf. 1 sup
pose Francis Ouimet was slight and
not fully grown when he won the
national open. Freddie Mcleod,
who is under five feet three, and
weighs about 100, won the open
championship at Myopia, which is
one Of the most difficult courses
In America.
Hilton is a small man, and Trav-
ers is certainly not large. Heine
Schmidt, who aroused CONSERVATION
at st. Andrews a few years ago,
was a real featherweights

INTEREST IN THE wORK"-George II. Charts
1t is difficult TO answer briefly the question:
'Wbat are the incentives for work? However, / am
certain that the laws of psychology are Just as in-
damental and can be applied just as effectively IN
operations as they and are being applied IN sales
Therefore, the first and most important lneen.
tive for work is to and hold the interest OF
the man in the work. This law calls for the appi-
cation of leadership, of leading instead OF dnWng
on the part of the executives, the superntendenls
the foreman and the straw bosses; and 1t IS really
mats important that it be possessed by the straw
bosses because they in closest contact with the
men. - Fl .oat
pent of the men that suspicion will be avoided, and
that belief and confidence in the company, the man.
agement and the foremen will be established
This brings Us to the third requirement, which
calls for able suprvision and careful recording Of
effort Human nature is naturally greatly interested
In the record Of its achievement or in the
achievement Of others Baseball Is the best record
ed industry in existence, and the interest IN II IS
very great Golf is close second, and The interest
in the record is just great. Therefore, visible
record posted daily if possible, Of the results OBJ
tained by the individual by the gang, with extra
remuneration for extra effort is in my opinion, one
of the best incentives for work.

what ARE The INCENTIVES FOR WORK =?

APPRECIATION OF OTHERS"-Samuel Gompers
Fundamentally, Of course, there Is only one in.
centiye for work-the necessity Of obtaining food,
clothing and shelter.
But there are other incentives for work. One
of the strongest incentives for most In the pos
session Of a wife and family Perhaps pride may
be a factor in mems work for their families-the
pride in seeing them well clothed and sheltered and
enjoying uxuries-but pride is not the chief
factor There is the desire born of affection to give
the family the good things Of life and the desire
to give the children education that will ht them
to make their way. The same desire provides the
incentive for the unmarried man who hopes to have
a family and for the woman who has de
pendents.
Duty is also an eneentive for work Many
man who has no great love for his dependents will
work for them as long his life lasts because he
believes IL is his duty 70 do so.
Another strong incentive for work is the desire
for position among ones fellow beiags-the desire
to be somebody in community, a trade union, or
other association Of human beings.
Closely connected with the desire 10 be some
body is the incentive Of rising in ones trade CT
profession and gaining the respect and approba-
ton Of others. This feeling Is manifested in the
desire to be a good workman-to excel IN ones
trade II is present even in trades commonly re-
garded as requiring skill.

RAILROAD LABOR
30 A RD DOES
CLEVER DODGING

/ Chicago, Dee. H. In decisions in.
volying striking employees of the Vir-
ginian railroad, the railroad labor
board blamed both the company and
workers for the dispute which led uu
to the strike of engineers and fire.
men on that road.
In a masterful exhibition of word
juggling, the board said the strike was
caused by mutual suspicion"
The workers have shown that the
strike was coused by the proven ply
iseal fact that men risk their lives
on gigantic engines when hauling long
freight trains through tunnels on that
railroad.
Engineers and fremen testified be.
fore the board that at times these tun-
nels are like blast furnaces, and in
some instances they were forced tc
jump for their lives. One engineer
testified that the skin on his face and
ears peeled off. The management
compels such long trains that three
engines are used. This fills the tun-
nels with gases and a terrific heat
that compels the engineers and fire
men to often hold wet sponges to their
mouth and nostrils.
Added to these deadly working con-
ditions, the road has used defective
equipment.
With childish simplicity, the labor
board ignores these facts, and would
have the public believe that the trou-
Bile on the Virginian is caused by nm
tual suspicion"

Election of judges by popular vote
Is the remedy for those un-American
institutions known as Injunction Judges
and injunctions in labor disputes, ac-
cording to ringing declaration by the
1923 covention of the Illinois state fed
GRAFTON of labor.
Since the dawn of civilization the
most effective enemies of progress, on
the part of the masses of the people,
have been the appointed Judges de
clares the convention.
The judge was appointed by the
king, and he served the influences who
made and kept him, the king.
He manipulated the arrest and
Imprisonment of individuals sought TO
be gotten out of the way, delayed
trials, misapplied and misinterpreted
laws to suit the wishes and interests of
those who gave him his appointment,
and permitted him to remain in that
position.
Whenever constitutional govern-
ments were set up it was the encroach-
ment upon that constitution by the ap-
pointed judge which destroyed it, and
with it destroyed the constitutional
form Of government as well.
I'm our day it is the great finan-
cial interests that corrupt elections and
control government who secure the ap-
pointment of these judges, and the
judges who secure their position by
this process now are, if anything, more
responsible to the desires of those in
terests than they were in the early days
of human history"

railroad shopmen's strike issued by

tag.
The state official Is reminded of the
menace 10 girls when tsfangers are
taken into the home to help pay the
rent, the disappearance of common
standards of decency and the insani-
tary conditions undnr which many
families live.
Back Of each story, says Judge
Boyle, Is the hopeless struggle of
fathers and mothers to get children
out of the unwholesome environments,
an ambition that is baiIed in almost
every instance by the inability 10 pay
higher rents.
Families are doubled up in small
apartments TO an extent which was
never before experienced in this city,
said Judge Boyle. Some of the re-
suits Of this practice are too shocking
TO describe. The inevitable result In
general is serious lowering of moral
standards.
ut seems to me, private enterprise
having failed utterly. that the time
for temporizing has gone by and that
the matter must be faced fairly and
squarely by the state itself, or by the
city under authority from the state.
Far from debating emergency rent
laws, question which il seems 10 me
is outside the realm Of debate, we
should be discussing what manner Of
legislation, what means shall be en-
ployed by the state TO provide for re-
| lief Of the present crisis and for a
permanent program which will insure
to the masses of our people, which In
