THE NEW YEAR
BY KATHERINE EDELMAN

a year has
"A passed into the great
sea Of time. Twelve short
months ago 1t was mine to
do with as | chose-to mold
into the kind of a structure
that | would make-but to-
day 1t is gone from me, and
the thing that | have made
of it shall remain for aye.
| cannot even change one
word Of the writing that |
have stamped on its pages; |
cannot win back even one
moment of it for my own.
But though the old year is
past and gone, though its
mistakes and its weakness
are no longer mine to rec
tify, there is today another
year opening before me, a
new and shining year that
Is all my own. Every page
of 1t CLEANS snowy white,
there Is not a blot or stain
anywhere, 1t is all mine to
do with as | will. All through
it's hours there will be oppor-
tunity for me TO do deeds of
loving service, to speak
words of cheer and kindness.
to knit more closely the ties
Of love and friendship that
are now mine. There will be
opportunity, too, to forge a
little bit ahead in life's race,
TO do my allotted tasks a lit
tie better than | did them
last year, to keep my eyes
and ears open for anything
that would lead to my happi-
ness and benefit.
/ know that | will pass by
many of these opportunities
and aids for happiness if my
heart is filled with ceaseless
repinings for the mistakes of
the past, with continued muir
murings on what the pres
pnt is giving me or with
dread and fear of what the
future might hold. These
things would surely dull my
vision so that | would be I'M
able to see or hear many of
the good things that might
be awaiting me; they would
close my heart so tightly
that all the host of pleasures
that love and friendship
bring would be denied me.
Therefore, | shall go into
this year as If it were indeed
a new life. | shall leave be-
hind me all that keeps me
fretful and complaining, all
that keeps me dissatisfied
and unhappy. | shall be-
lieve and know that this
New Year holds many pre-
cious gifts for me, and that l
shall surely find them if l
keep my heart and mind
open for their reception.

SociabIe in Food Hunt

English scientists insist the eels
are the only residents Of the water
which can hunt their food in com
pany, working in a pack as wolves
do and rushing up a stream, eating
all they meet or find, flesh, fowl OF
insect, devouring spawn and nosing
out the small fry from their hiding
places under the rocks and weeds
along the banks.
1t has become a common EXPIRES
sion among the scientists TO speak
of the cells as the wolves OF the
stream, counting them even worse
than the pike, that dashing, big
eater Of the waters, tigerish In
ferocity and apparently never full
of food. These learned writer's de-
clare they have known a large
number Of eels TO attack a victim
in a formation, when one OF
their number would be unable to
be master Of the situation.

HIW p J.GAUDIN
SKOkIE COUNTRY CLUB
& UNION LEAGUE CLUB
X Chi.so
Position for Overspin Putt.


The II absolute essential In
making the overspin putt is thai
tlfe cIub go back at right angles to
the line and prove that 1t has hit
the bail when al right angles by ln-
islIing at right angles.
While nothing else Is absolutely
essential, it might be well to try
out various approved methods and
use such of them as will be of adj
vantage. Any stance Is good that
does not prevent the proper swing
Ing Of the club, but If you have any
trouble in choosing one, suppose
you try this: Stand with the heels
close together, or touching. In
stead Of standing square to the
line, keep facing further toward the
hole until you find the comfortable
position. From an erect position
let the body settle almost wholly on
top of the left leg. The right foot
being in front. this naturally will
cause a slight bend in the right
knee. Lean forward TO a point
where the inside of the right fore
arm rests on top of the right thigh.
This anchors the whole right side.
Try this position in any wind short
Of a gale and you will find there Is
no tendency to sway.
Now take this position with the
eyes over a line and see If the club
can be swung correctly. The whole
stance may need adjustment, prob
ably beginning with the left elbow.
1t should be free from the side In
any event, or the club head will be
drawn In to the left. Lift the left
elbow until 1t Is pointing In the gen
eral direction or straight at the
hole. 1t may take considerable ex-
p~erimenting, but there will come a
point where the swing can be made
comfortably. Hold that position
until you have carefully noted every
point. Then practice the swing
over q straight line, getting out of
and coming back TO the position at
each swing. The whole idea now
is to learn to assume this position
automatically.
Get q mental picture Of yourself.
You feel that you are sitting on top
of your left leg. Your right fore
arm Is pressed against your right
thigh firmly enough to serve as an
anchor. Your extended left elbow
seems to be a forward rudder to
keep the club over the line. Your
eyes are directly over where the
ball would be and you know there
is not a particle of movement ex-
cept at the wrists and q trlfle in
the forearms. Do all this thought
fully and slowly.

Shields of Old Fighters

Hide was the only material used
for shields among the Indians of
the plains their neighbors of the
Southwest, the Pueblos. made their
shields of wicker. The indigenous
animals which afforded hide of suf-
ficient thickness were the elk and
the buffalo. In later times horse
hide and cowhide came into use.
The introduction of firearms
might have been expected to render
the rawhide shield obsolete, but
the protection afforded by it was
probably from very early times
conceived as magical IN nature.
and the shield long continued to be
a part of the equipment of the
mounted warriors armed with the
musket or the rifle.

But as soon as the New Year

Railroads in Canada expect to move
$1,000 in special trains to points in

Practically all the first crop of

Danger from wheat rust is descended

Monday night at city council meet
ing with introduction of ordinances
designed to allow construction of fill

The ordinances, sponsored by the

of that vicinity.
Owners of the ground at the south
approach of the Delaware st. bridge

because the city has been unable
