IN PRAISE OF
THE BIRDS

GTVE a thought to the birds at
~ the season Of the year.
They are constantly waging var
for mankind against the tremen-
dous army OF insects that. were 1t
not for them, would soon com.
pleteIy overwhelln the earth.
The number OF young brought
forth each year by the birds is
enor1morc. and yet it is scarcely
enough to offset the loss in the
feathered ranks by death, writes
u. w. BrowAelI in Nature Maya
zine of Washington. In facI, it
is undoubtedly all too true that
the number Of birds in the world
is slowly but steadily diminishing
instead OF increasing.
Aside from man, who should be
their best friend, the birds have
a number of natural enemies, not
the least of them the elements.
At the seasons Of migrations, large
numbers of them are the toll Of
storms. Some few years ago a
particularly large flock Of mi
grating birds was overtaken in
the Middle West by belated
blizzard and it was Conservatory
estimated that not less than a mil.
lion birds were frozen to death in
one night.
Man can learn lesson in home
building from the birds. Despite
handicaps, they build their homes
and maintain a joyous spirit in
the work. It. would be well for
all of US to watch the birds and
see how they work at home build.
ing and keep up their. battle
against the insects.

Inspect Clubs
First Thing
In Spring!
By CHARLES (CHICKl EVANS, JR.

BY CHARLES CHICK EVANS, DIX.
AS l came up to the office few
minutes ago / was struck by the
balmy qualities OF the air and
felt that Spring would not be very
far away. And to a golfer, Spring
means but one thing and that is
golf.
Therefore, the moment that felt
the soft breath of air upon my cheek
began to think of what a golfer
could do to get ready for the
happy season. The first thing to
be done is to look over ones clubs.
First, examine the shafts; they
must be straight and alive. No
dead, crooked wood will do. 1t
may be that you prefer steel shafts
land in that case think 1t Is better
to have them all steel. And
whether you take steel or wood,
advise you to stick to one or the
other throughout the season.
There Is nothing as bad for one 8
game as changing ones equipment
during the season of play. Let me
repeat then, select your equipment
early In the season and stick to It,
and this Is good time to make
ones decision.
/ It may be that your bag Of
clubs Is I'm fine condition and
that the collection il unusually
good, but the chances are other
wise.
Almost every golfer carries too
many clubs. Just the other day q
4 - 1fvon
Of clubs which a salesman at a
sporting goods store advised him
I to purchase. There were nine irons
In all and three wooden clubs. In
my opinion all the clubs golfer
needs, be he good or a bad player,
are: Driving brassie, spoon, mid
iron. jigger, mashie, dead-stop
nfblick and a putter.
| A dear friend of mine asked my
advice as to the number and kind
of clubs a beginner should buy.
answered: A brassie, a midiron, a
maslie, and putter. It Is i'm
possible for anybody but the profes
sional who plays every day to learn
! the use of the in-betwcen lofteo
clubs.
There is the question of expense
too, and lord knows the golfer

any other sportsman.
After the inactiOn Of a long sea-
SON II Is easier to begin something
new and spring il the time to
make the changes.
Do not be easily discouraged
either, but give. any change upon
which you have determined fair
! trial. Some little change inaugu
rated in the springtime may work
wonders with your game, but be-
ware of constant experiments
! throughout the year.
To those who have never played
| the game I would say begin now
Lay q solid foundation at once for
future health and enjoyment, for
golf insures exercise in the oper
air and the interest that only 4
game can furnish. And you will
find the game not only d time OF

/ sweet. but a sure solace in time OF
