The brassie is a powerful weapon
when the hit is properly made, and
4t fs very poor weapon when
the stroke is improper. Unlike "a
drive. the brassie Is always slightly
altered in Its lie. Hence, there is
always a certain amount Of strange
ness to any brassie shot.
We can tee up the ball on the
drive to suit ourselves. But. the
brassie Is used in the fairway.
sometimes on bare spot. some
times in a poor or s'cupped" lie,
and sometimes in fairly good
place where it is semi-teed up.
For the reason that the lie is
always uncertain, 1t IL necessary
- practice all manner of lies.
Drop balls on the practice grounds
and hit them where they lie. The
chances are that some Of them
wfIE be In fine lies. and Others
win be in poor hes.
For the good lie. the stroke is
somewhat like that Of the drive.
except that, it must be remembered,
the club head should be brought

must be taken, IL only in q slight
degree. When the ball Is cupped.
1s 81 necessary TO hit behind the
ball, and only practice win teach
the player just how far behind.
The ground In front of the ball
must be cut away before the club
head meets the ball. That much
Is apparent. And the swing must
be hard enough to do that thing.
/ would advise the use OF an iron
Cor lies where the ground is hard
and the ball is cupped. The
brassie is only for shots in the
farway where a long carry is neces-
sary, and where an iron might not
reach. 1t should also be remember
"a that many brassies are really
drivers, in that their faces are al
most straight. and that other bras
sizes are really spoons. The player
always alters the club face to suit
his game.
The back swing, the pivoting. the
snap just before hitting the ball,
and the follow-through are just
about the same as in the drive.

It lost ground when that emphasis was lost to the public which was not al- ready converted to prohibition, and which never understood the solid rea- sons for it. When it was preached to by judges and clergymen to obey the law it is because it is a law. We have acquired the impression and no other reason for obeying the law as it exists"

 Colonel Steese has made a very elaborate and very sensible state- ment here today, ands he says he can not get along and do what is neces- sary for less than S1,OOOOOO. My judgment is that you ought to give him S1,5OO,00O this year and S1,O0O,OOO for the next fiscal year. The roads in AL aska today are about as useful as a painted ship upon painted ocean. The roads in Alaska must be finished.
 What good would be served the Pennsylvania Avenue or any other road if it began nowhere and ended nowhere? A road to be any good must begin somewhere and end somewhere. That is what Col. Steese wants to do. He wants to finish these roads. These roads in Alaska are not only good for the tourists and the automobile peo- pie but they are good to produce the wealth that makes this country the rich, great, prosperous and glorious country it is. Where would it be-. I ask you, if it were not the mines? The wealth in mines of Alaska is beyond wealth in Alaskan mines is beyond the. dreams Of avarice.
