their property and those wishing to buy

They expect something far more
valuable from their realtor-they seek
from him real estate knowledge, advice
and counsel-for they realize that a

Only one buyer or seller in hun

that must be known if either is to make
a really satisfactory sale or purchase.
Thus the realtor must protect the inter

Recognizing this, the modern realtor
accepts his position as confidential ad

banditry in quest of thrills and con-
tinued it to secure money to fill her

to wed her ALLEGED bandit "sheik."
She said:

of the gang and Glen work when
they took me along and decided l

 Senator Duncan's resolution calling for an investigation of the clerical pay rolls of the two houses created much excitement. In asking immedi- ate consideration Senator Duncan said 1t had been charged that there were one-third more clerical em- ployes in the senate than there are members in the senate. He desired to have sufficient clerical forces for the transaction of the publis busi- ness, but believed the lawmakers should know whether or not any un- necessary employees were maintained.
 The resolution first went to the rules committee, but later was given a favorable report and was adopted by the senate. It was sent to the house without .engrossment.

ARTISTS DESTROY $8O,OOO IN BONDS IN TIE E|R HOSPITAL
Barbecue And Liquidation Celebration At Institution
 Tuesday Night

"The basis of admiss into this hospital is not human cred but hu- man need" was the unselfish, hu- manitarian utterance of Dr. Long, superintendent of the Baptist hos pital, in the address of the evening on Our Hospital" at the barbecue and celebration of the liquidation of tho $S0,000 debt of the hospital he'd Tuesday evening.
 The announcement of the hospital benefactor, or benefactors, who paid the huged ebt has not been made. that the hospital is clear of debt and that the feature of the evening was the burning of sS0,000 worth of bonds. Approximately 600 people witnessed the burning, and heard pr Long tell the relation of the hOspi- tai to Baptists, to other denomina tions, and how 1t applied to every man, woman and child, in the com munity; and how it relates itself 10 the medical profession, and especial ly those using it for the care of their patients.
 To the Baptists, he said "It is our hospital in that we have assumed the responsibility of it's ongoing for the good 1t may do the community" To other protestant denominations !e said: Tt is yours because we be- lieVe there is place in this city for Protestant hospital. It is yours because there is not a blessing, q privilege. a service of any kind that is offered to Baptist that is not open to all those of all other faiths and creeds upon the same basis and under the same consideration" pr. Long suggested 1t would be well for every one to take out hospital in- surance to be applied to hospitals thus placing them in reach of all at a minimum cost. It will be the policy of the hospital. he said, to give its best to the doctors who give to it their best.
 Service at Actual Cost
 "Baptists have projected this hos pital," Dr. Long stated, Ito give the world the social gospel of the Son of God. and because they believe every man, woman, and child should have placed within their reach the best service that hospital efficiency can give, at actual cost to them" He gave the following statistics of Baptist hospitals; Number of hos pitals, 22; buildings, 70; ground, city block, 24; value of property, $8,s00,- 26S; receipts for last year, $2,257,6S6; bed capacity, 2,S23; number of patients last year 47;2s9 1 charity {I work, s257,195.90; nurses training schools, 973; Baptist hospital, Bir- expended in free service last> year, $S,s62.01; and cared for 240 patients.

Ny WALTER HAGEN
 British Open Champion Conyrfrht 1D29 for The AEe-iterald) ]


 Not long aso 1 read an article in a newspaper on golf instruction. IL was by a well-known player and he suggested that the eurest way to hit the ball was by taking the club back with q straight left arm and keeping the arm straight at the top of the swing
 This is not new theory, but it needs lot of explanation; otherwise it is misleading.
 There are two important things to be considered in the golf swing perhaps l had better say the golf style. They have to do with swiA $ ing the club. Some golfers swing at ball with what is known as the upright swing. Others use one that is entirely flat. Golfers are lined up about 50-50 between the two styles of play.
 The Upright Swing.
 An upright swing means that the club is brought up in an upright circle while the flat swing Is more around the body.
 In beginning golf it is necessary first to learn whether your swing is upright or flat Either one will do to start with, but one must find out immediately on account of purchasing clubs. Upright swingers must use clubs with upright lies and flat sWingers should use flat lies.
 Most golfers feel insulted if re- minded that they have a flat swing. It does not mean that the swing is a bad one in any sense of the word. Some of the greatest golfers that ever hit a ball have used flat swings. including J. II. Taylor, the famous English professional, and Johnnie McDermott. one of the greatest home bred golfers that America ever turned out. McDermott is the flat test of all flat swingers. If you have ever seen a picture of little Mack at the top of the swing you will ob- serve that ne has the left arm out as straight as ramrod. All flat swingers can employ the straight left as there is ~C necessity of bringing the hands up any higher than the shoulder.
 Harry Vardon is what is known as an upright swinger. George Dun can is another. Duncan brings the hands up very high. With both of these players, you will observe from their photographs that the left arm is slightly bent to permit the club to take the horizontal position over the shoulders.
 o O O
 Flat Swing For Midgcts.
 Little men will find that a flat swing Is almost necessary. McDer- mott was a little man and used a fairly long club. Tall mCn can han dle the upright swing boter oG ac- count of their height. They can use shorter club because their arms are longer.
 Bob Macdonald, who Is regarded as one of the best stylists in the coun- try, has a fine upright swing and hits a very long ball. He uses q short club because his arms are rath- CT long.
 Flat swingers usually obtain a long roll to the ball that they drive as they are mostly inclined to hook. A hooked ball is always desira ble
