WASHINGTON, Mar. 26.-Two
minutes conversation with Curtis
Dwight Wilbur, the Californian,
who has Just taken over the navy
department s helm, tells you he is
firm believer in and strong sup
porter of two great American insti-
tutions. One of these is marriage.
The other is the navy.
SO far as Washington and the
country generally are concerned.
Wilbur is a new face and a new
personality. Physically he is a
big chap, tall, like one of his Cali
fornia trees or the corn of MS ma
tive Iowa. His prev blue ewes
twinkle behind plain gold trimmed
glasses, OF type now almost OBJ
solete since the horn-rim appeared
to disfigure the human eountenance.
His grey hair reaches up from high
brow; his checks have hint of
ruddiaess, as though he liked the
outdoors-as he does. The Judge
peeps through his manner at odd
moments and again the boy twinkles

IT was all could have asked for.
She's gene out house hunting,

He's for Conservatism
Wilbur stated crisply his position
on conservation-the conservation

His job with the navy, as Wilbur
sees it, is to make the American
fleet the most efficient in the world.
He has a definite understanding
what that means.
Old timers around the navy de-
partment say Wilbur twill do. -
They like ,the way he buckled down
to his job. He has a sort of mental
two-handedness that enabled him to
get lot of work done on his first
day in office, despite the demand
of handshakers. 43

THE ROMANCE IN A. BRUSH

The vacuum cleaner, the wash

difficult jobs in every home. After
all the big tasks are not always the

number of small and disagreeable
duties. Because of these countless
'time-taking tasks we now have
brushes for almost every purpose
about the home. The present day
home, whether q modest flat or a
large residence, is incomplete and
inefficient without its quota Of
brushes Of various kinds.
From all corners Of the world are
gathered together material for the
making of brushes. From Siberia

swing. He will have attained a pro-
ficiency with the clubs by this time
SO that he will be able to try the
different methods of swinging and
determine (which fits him best He
will have acquired balance and that
most important of all factors-cond-
dence.
The golfer who does this will, with
six months in the indoor school, have
accomplished the first half of the
task. He now steps out to the course,
ready for the second part of his game.
This half of it really never ends, but
1t Is infinitely more interesting.
We now begin with golf where the
factor Of narrow margins enters. The
swing having been developed, the
player now begins to play the game
in earnest, and also he now begins to
find out how very much there really
Is in this game. Come now the tasks
of keeping the ball straight, of judg-
ing distance. of making the ball stop
where 1t hits, of placing the shots
more or less exactly.
This second half of the task of ac.
complishing good golf divides, we
might say, into two parts itself. The
first of those is keeping the ball
straight The. second is learning to
take pains with each shot. Get the
mechanics of the swing and add to
that the ability to keep the ball
straight andNto take pains with each
shot-and you are a good golfer, at
last.
Perhaps the toughest lesson for the
Evening star., 1924-10-12

The first of these is the accom-
plishment Of swing that is mechan-
ically correct. In getting the swing
the player will accomplish correct
grips, correct stances and SO on, since
these are parts of the swing as a
whole. 1t is absolutely essential,
however, first to accomplish the
swing. An indoor school is, I think,
the best place for this. The indoor
school has the great advantage Of
being convenient, In the first place,
and in addition to that the task mar
rows down to the swing itself-that
Is, the player has no concern when
he drives to the canvas about the
length of the ball or other such fac
tors. He concentrates on hitting the
ball and, after all, that Is the first
thing to do. the paramount task,
when round of golf is undertaken.
The indoor school also enables the
golfer to get practice with the swing,
and this rally is of as much in1por-
tance as the instruction itself. Prac-
tice builds up the keenness of the
sense of touch. In time the player
has this sense of touch so distinctly
initely feel the clubhead throughout
its entire swing. There is no such
thing as good. consistent golf until
the player has this sense of keen
touch. Every expert. golfer has it.
In six months of indoor instruction
plentifully mixed with practice in the
nets the player will have, in almost
every case, fairly good mechanical

WOMAN BOWLERS
ROLL GOOD SCORES

The Washington Ladies' Duckpin
League did well in its first week on
the drives. Credit is due to every
bowler in the league that there was
no delay in starting the matches and
1t is hoped that this same standard
will be maintained throughout the
season.
Reducing the number OF teams in
the league from IL to 10 will shorten
the schedule and do away with Sat
urday night matches, which have
proved unpopular.
Judging from the manner in which
they smashed the pins for big counts
the first week, more than one record
will go by the boards before the
season closes.
With Pauline Thomas setting the
pace, Billie's team rolled the first
game over 500, spilling the naples
for count of sos in the last game
of their match with the Metropon-
tans.
To the CoIumbians goes the honor
of turning in the highest set for the
first week, with a total of 1,417 pins
for the set. They grabbed two out
of three games from the strong

United States Navy, 1904 points to
1880. in the match shot here. Poor
weather hampered both. There was a
strong cross wind, and low clouds
caused constant changes in light
Ensign EIiseo Villa, captain of the
Argentine team, was high man, with $40
out of a possible $50 points. The only
perfect score on any range was that of
Ensign A. NJ. Morgan of the United
States Navy, who scored SO at 600
yards
The Argentine rifiemen used German
Mausers and the North Americans the
regulation Springfield.
The cup, which Argentine will re-
tain for another year as the result Of
the match, was first offered by the Ar
-gentine naval commission in 1914. 1t
was won in September of that year by
Argentine, and was not challenged for
until this year. y
