Cure for the Grip

GIT (gol may also prove be the safety valve for the
J. high nervous tension that is gripping so many oil
us" observes the Dallas Dispatch man.
Oh YES possibly there wild, wooly Texans
who get the safety valve effects, but seems like only
yesterday when dear negbor persuaded us TO take our
nervous tension out TO the city links.
Even the family doctor said that golf was smooth,
soothing recreation conducive to mental pose and nerve
restfuness and heaven knows sort of safety valve
needed after publishing the details OF TWO Dig naona
political conventions.
First thing neighbor paid fat cadde boy to put his
hand over his mouth and snort at our lavender goli
stockings and raise nervous tension to l2O degrees
rentigrade
Then neighbor palmed up a neat hill of sand, put
clean homeopathic pill its top and advised Let your
stance be thus swing with the body observe the wnd
direction and hit it,!
We thought he meant the wind and hit it five times
running whereupon our fat personal cadde boy went to
one side and laid down.
ooh Henry exclaimed neighbours wife who had just
arrived to do the safety valve, do show him bit
He should swing lower This sent tension up to
100 deg. Fahrenheit. But Henry be hanged!
We took firm grip on the bat, swung low as we
could reach. and Mrs. Neghbor went down under a
bushel of dandeons thistle roots ordinary sod grass and
sand.
If the lady was gofess with safety valve it wasn't
working and under the urge of what she said
tension scared way above any degrees marked the
thermometer And our dear little cadde boy yelled,
Don't give up It's only nne-hole counsel"
Fourteen miles or farther on, heard two very
worthy reputable expert golfers and citizens beyond
proach repeatedly yell 'Fore" and Let thru!
thing and had the pleasure of witnessing their release of
tension thru the safety valve by most earnest
fist fight
Albeit this is no brief against the soothngness and
relaxation Of golf Very probably as in other noble
sports such draw poker bridge whist horseshoes but
etc. it is the that
isn't good for high nervous tension
Certain it is that many office-ridden citizens find
the open spaces of the links and in the club house lockers
safety valves that they couldn't get elsewhere
So yell "Forew if there's lady within two miles, hit
the pill in the nose and may your every drive be at par
Claim par, anyhow, for your nervous tensions sake

Too Much Lam

ME ARE being lawed to DEATH 1t is mania-a
w dsease-tha manifests itself in legislatures, in
crosses in civic and social associations organizations
poratons and quite every human activity Always there
must be law to control and hedge and limit the indi
vidual
1t is said that there 100000 laws in force in
the United States today Legislatures and congresses
adding to these at the rate of thousands every year
is now almost impossible for a human being to take
step in any direction in this country that restrictive law
of kind another does not confront him. So great
and wide have become the raifcaons of the written
statutes that it is wholly impossible for anyone to know
the law or to be a law-abidng citizen
Reaction against this sort of thing is apparent every
hand Out of it has grown spirit of lawessness that
shames the very ceners of what have believed to be
best and oldest civizaton-shames ALL 1t is not
in the nature of to accept gracefully and cheerully
those grinding enacents that bear directly and hard
all the little intimate things and thoughts Of their daily
existence They resentfu today and every day. and
they will continue to be resentul until the for law
making is checked and the human being is allowed to be
human Too much law is than no law, for too much
law is tyranny. History tells that tyranny always
fails
