While waiting your turn to tee off is it
permissible to timber up a bit by taking
several practice swings2
1t Is customary for players while waiting
their turn, to take out their clubs aud in
dulge in several preliminary swings. IT is
the same principle used by ball players in
carrying several bats to the plate and in
dulging in some practice swings to loosen
up. 1t is permissible for golfer to take
few swings while awaiting his turn, but
great care should be used in staying far
enough from the first tee not to annoy the
players who are driving of. Strict cit
quette fOrbids you to move or speak dur
ing another players stroke.

~OME race! That is the unanimous

the long 500-mile motor grind May 80.
1t is seldom that two fans can agree
on any other point. They argue
whether a light or heavy car will lead
the procession on the last lap of the
long, long trail. They bicker about
relative merits Of fours, skies and

of favorite drivers, domestic and for

they shake their heads and they join
in q glorious chorus of "Oh Boy, some

FLORIDA SAVED BY THE PREss-Florida':

FLORIDA SAVED BY THE PRESS-Florda's
decision to abolish the convict lash comes as a
result OF newspaper publicity which compelled
state officials to vince before the anger OF decent
thinking people Men and boys tortured and whip
ped to death in convict camps presented pic
ture at once revolving and outrageous.
OF course the situation never could have existed
had the people OF Florida realized what going
on Unfortunately, they did not realize, and the
sleek officials, paid whippers and convict Judges,
thinking possibly Of their own job, took pains to
keep disgraceiul details from public notice
Prisoners were dashed and tortured not only as
punishment but as a means of terrifying the rest
Of the gang and to maintain discipline" Secrecy
was the safeguard, and it needed courage to turn
on the spotlight only the vision and public spirit
of newspaper publisher made possible the end
ing OF this horrifying practice.
1t takes brave men to tell the truth; but once
the truth became known, the peoples anger grew.
When the temper OF the people began to be felt
the politicians stepped into line and so we find
marked up another worthy achievement in jour
nasm.
1t is pleasing to note that the reform was
brought about by few OF the home newspapers
OF Florida and not by pressure from an alien press
The Jacksonville Journal led manlully in the
fight, remorselcssly dragging into the sunlight the
brutality that put such blot upon the state Most
OF the country newspapers did their part valiantly
Obviously 1t was not pleasant task for Ie news
papers to expose a condition so disgracefu in their
own state, but sometimes eve must be cruel only
to be kind"
We have no room for Congo atrocities in Amer
lea.

George Peabody, Bsnefactor

At the closing OF schools each year,
hundreds OF teachers, looking to their
own improvement in scholarship and
in teaching flock to the Peabody Col
lege for teachers at Nashville, Tenn.
The work OF this great college, estab-
lished in 1875, has been felt in con-
,,tructive way second to no institutio
in the world George Peabody, him
self, was poor clerk and pack-peddler
in his youth, and self-made, he became
the great merchant and banker OF Bal
timore and London. With wealth came
sense of obligation to those less for
tunate, and with his first large bequest
in 1867, of 100000 to a committee
OF his own choosing, he said, Il wish
the income of this to be applied to the
intellectual, moral and industrial edu-
cation Of the young in the more destl-
tute portions of the southern and south
| western states of the union" In 1865
he gave another million and in 1879
this teachers college was established
Now certain philanthropistis offering
dollar for dollar if the people will give
! 100000 with which to make large
i extensions in buildings and the budget
and the alumni are busily working for
this end.

Doomed to Destruction

This may we'll be considered the
fate OF the dogwood tree, since indus
trial use has been found for the wood.
Its hard and peculiar quality is con-
Sidered especially adapted for spindles
and other equipment of cotton mills
and OF lats the trees are being cut in
great quantities to be shipped for this
use. Even before this the people inter
eSted III the conservation of Georgia
forests and her state trees had been
raising a plea for the ccssatio of wan
ton waste of the dogwood tree along
with the holly on account of their dec
oratlve value. 1t was complained that
persons using them for this purpose
Will tear Off large branches of the
doswood with as little thought as
they uproot the holly tree with no con
Slderation OF the future use and beauty
OF either so that entire extinction is
bound to follow Industrial need is the
greediest spoiler of them all and so we
may as we'll bid goodby to the dog

Warning Comes Late

After all these many long months,
even Years OF preparation and waiting
by Amundsen to make his dash by
airplane to the North Pole, comes the
thrilling report that unless a relief ex-
fedition reaches him in remote Alaska
Eefore he makes his start, to warn him
that his machine is but a faulty second
hand one, unsafe to navigate anywhere
that only fatal results can be expected
Someone knew this all the tine-why
should the message be sent so late :?
1t is said that the explorer believed
that he had new American machine
and will be taking the hazard of a
crash in polar seas with but two days
provisions and cut off from all com
n1unications or relief in case of acct
dent. He will be starting his flight on
June 10th unless a message reaches

The head OF Dcnver's largest COM

the important developments to be real

GLARING HEADLIGHTS

GLARING HEADLIGHTS-And what has be-
come OF the old-fashioned car driver who used to
dim his glaring headlights when passing another
auto? Two or three years ago huge sums of mon
ey were spent in buying lenses which were
supposed to prevent glare. Every car had to be
equipped with the new lenses, and it certainly
sounded like sensible idea 1t worked satisfac-
torily to degree, but the Idea seems to have been
lost sight Of Headlights are more glazing than
ever, and the custom OF dimming has become a
lost art.
The way it is now, when two cars pass at night,
there is certain space during which the drivers
can only hope that they are on the road, that
no obstacle is directly in front OF them tt seems
to The Leader that the laws regarding headlights
should be strictly enforced. There seems to be no
reason why the cars should not be equipped with
lights which will not blind the driver OF an APP
preaching car And the courtesy of dimming
might also be revived with no harm resulting
