Body Balance
Important in
Putting
BY Charles Chick Evans, VI.

The way man stands when he
is ready TO take his putt is known
in golf language as his stance.
There are three welI.known kinds,
and the closed stance.
Draw q line from point directly
behind the ball and to the hole, then
visualize line running from the
right toe parallel to the first line.
When the toes of both feet are on
the last line. 1t is the closed stance
and when 1t is inside of it 1t is the
open stance. OF course, this de,
acription applies to right.handed
players and also it applies to all
the different clubs.

 At a meeting last Monday the question of retaining Mr. Gould as secretary and of continuing the Hardware City magazine and other policies in effect at the Chamber was taken up. Judge B. F. Hunger ford and Charles w. Hawkins were appointed a committee with power to act. The absence of Judge Hungerford from the city threw the responsibility onto the shoulders of Mir. Hawkins.
 Although an effort was made during the absence from the city of Judge Hungerford, to keep the story from leaking out, it was known for several days last week that Mir. Gould's resignation had been requested, as had tllat of Will liam B. Christ, assistant secretary.
 A statement was made by First Vice President George H. Dyson Saturday that MT. Gould's resigna-

INSPECTOR STRIKES
 AT LAW VIOLATORS
Will Not Allow Some New
 Buildings to Be Used
TO INVOKE ZONE ORDINANCE
Certificates Will Be Refused On Several Structures Now Complet- cd or Nearing Completion, Build ing Department Head Warns.

Although the building department will not begin issuing certificates of occupancy until September 1, sev- eral structures now either completed or nearly so are marked for idle ness because they do not comply with the city laws, Inspector Arthur N. Rutherford declared today.
 Under the code now in effect, no building can be occupied until a certificate of occupancy has been is- sued from the office of the inspec- tor. This procedure insures a final inspection after all work has been done and is an added safeguard against violations of the code, the department explains.
 Rutherford, who has been acting inspector for the past two weeks of- ficially takes over his duties today, the resignation of E. J. Hennessy, who has been on a two weeks va cation. becoming effective at the close of business Saturday.
 The new inspector has already in augurated a policy of close applica- tion of the city ordinances and in the past week rejected 35 applied tions for permits on the ground that the proposed structures did not con form to the code or zoning law or the proper papers were not filed with the application. Much of the complaint registered against the building department, which resulted in that bureau being in the lime light of publicity for the past few years was grounded on alleged lax ity in enforcing the laws. Mayor Weld recently issued an order that the law must be lived up to and h. spector Rutherford has made this his cardinal policy, he announces.
 Much of the illegal work is of a minor nature and may, with more or less alteration, be changed to meet the inspectors approval, al- though some of the work is funda- mentally incorrect and will require extensive changes. Occupancy of building which has not met the in spectors approval and for which he has not given a certificate is a violation of the zoning law and may be the basis of prosecution.

British Home Office Cere- moniousIy Opens Case But Find No Corpse, Thus Adding to Mystery - Remains Reported Found in Norway and Shipped Home.

London, Aug. 16 LP)-The British nome office today announced off clally that a packing case. recently delivered at Waterloo Station and alleged to contain the body of the late Lord Kitchener, was found to contain an empty coffin."
 After the investigation of the packing case, Chief Constable Wens- ley and the Detective Superintendent Brown went to the home office where they held a lengthy confer ence with officials and legal ad- visers
 Scotland Yard officers removed the case from the Waterloo road station, where it was delivered last Saturday to a mortuary. The case originally was shipped by Frank Power, British newspaperman who announced recently that he had found what he believed to be the body of Lord Kitchener on the coast of Norway.
 Power notified Premier Baldwin and said that the next step was up to the government, which hitherto had discredited Powers story of the finding of the body and the clearing up of the tragic mystery of the sink ing of the cruiser Hampshire during the World War.
 Burglars Reported
 A fresh sensation connected with the case developed early this morn- ing when police who were guarding the casket were summoned to search the neighborhood for suspected burglars. Neighboring residents of the mortuary reported they had seen two men scale the walls about the establishment. An exhaustive search however, failed to reveal any in truders.
 The coffin was opened this morn ing under the direction of Coroner Inglesby Oddie. Sir Bernard Spills bury, government pathologist, was present. High Scotland Yard officials and official photographers also were present.
 The greatest secrecy surrounded the proceedings as far as the public was concerned. only serving to whet the curiosity of the large crowds which surrounded the mortuary from an early hour.
 After the examination of the casket had been concluded, Coroner Oddie declined to make any state- ment to newspapermen for the pres ent.
 Official Statement
 Scotland Yard officials immediate ly sought to get in touch with Power. The statement issued by the home office this morning said:
 ''The packing case, alleged to con- tain a coffin and human remains. which on Saturday night was remov- ed by the police from an undertak- CTS on Waterloo Toad to Lambeth Coroner's court, was this morning opened in the presence of Coroner Ingleby Oddie, and Sir Bernard Salisbury. The packing case was found to contain an empty coffin. The, coffin was new and obviously had not contained human remains"

Bodies EntOmbed in
 1880 to Be Removed

Stellarton, N. S., Aug. 16 PH After nearly a half century, the Foord pit, which had remained her medically sealed since an explosion in 1880 entombed 49 coal miners, has begun to give up it's dead. A shaft has been driven into the old workings and men, braving the gas es, have entered the foul interior and recovered the bones of three of the miners.
 Little was left of the dead except the larger bones, but the boots and leather belts of the victims are said to be perfectly preserved and in as good condition as if they had been in the mine only few days. A few shreds of tattered clothing clung to some of the bones.

WIRES AND POLES
 OFF ARCH STREET
Connecticut Co. to Remove Bar
 rier to Widening Project
CURES WILL BE SET BACK
Improvement In Thoroughfare To Become Possible By Traction Company's Action-Rails Will Not Be Disturbed Because of Cost

Trolley service on Arch street will not be resumed. the Connecticut Co.,, having decided to remove it's poles and overhead wires in res ponse to request made some time ago by City Engineer Joseph D. Will ! Hams.
 The city engineer received 8 let ter today from President J. K. Pun dertord of the trolley company ad- Vlslng him of the decision to rip out one of the last vestiges of what was considered at one time one of the best-paying short routes in the city's trolley service.
 Supt. w. J. Bryan of the local division has advised Engineer Will Hams work will be commenced not later than Wednesday of this week and an effort will be made to have the job completed by September 1. Makes Wider Street Possible
 The city is interested in the move not from the standpoint O" trans portation, but because it eliminates one obstacle standing in the way of wider Arch street, Engineer Will jams points out, The Arch street Improvement association, which has sponsored the plan to widen that highway and create a new main ar tery of business, has advanced the program to a point where early Taa 1izotiO in circles, and removal of the poles now parking the curb line is a step toward their goal.
 Maps are now in course of prep aration and property owners have agreed to waive all claim to dam their curb properties which the street job will necessitate.
 Busses Force Trolleys to Quit
 The Arch street trolley line was one of the oldest in the city. With the advent of bus transportation, keen competition was encountered and the Connecticut Co.,, made an effort to have this mode of trans portation on Arch street ruled out. Failing in this attempt, the com pany curtailed its service, then threatened removal of its line. After a period of several weeks applica- ton was made to the public utill- ties commission for permission to discontinue the line and the request was granted. In the street repair work of the past few |, years the grooves beside the rails were filled with paving material at many places.
 City Engineer Williams does not plan to ask for removal of the rails. Since they do not interfere with travel he feels the expenditures which would be necessary could be foregone without objection on the part of the travelling public, he said.
 The Arch street line was the first route installed by the Connecticut company to be abandoned.
