lay two balls on the ground, a few
inches apart. both of these in line
of flight. Take a mashie and send
both balls down the course on the
same shot.

right elbow as the club travels to
the top of the swing, continues
Dunn. This fault throws them off
balance. The right elbow should

so. l sometimes poke a handker-
chief under the armpit of a man
who persists in raising the elbow
and l tell him l want to see the

DUNN ADVISES GOLFERS
HOW TO IMPROVE GAME
Veteran Mentor Say Good Golf Rest
on Few Important Fundamentals
and That Faults Can be Cured
BY Intelligent Drill
PAGE -FOUR

After 25 years of teaching others
that good golf rests on a few i'm
portant fundamentals. Nearly all
dubs share certain specific faults
that can be corrected by intelligent
practice.
The fault known as "waisting" is
of quite common occurrence. This
usually comes from allowing the
head to drop toward the left should
er during a troke. Naturally the
focus of your eyes upon the ball is
entirely different from their focus
when you addressed the ball. Dunn
declares that one of the basic things
of golf that players do not hear
enough about is the Importance of
keeping the head still. It's quite
as important as the familiar " keep
your eye on the ball" A head
that is inclined TOWARD the shoulder
during the swing will throw the
whole body off balance. The head
must be held rigidly conferred at all
times from address till the instant
of impact.
fu1IU Easily SuFeu
To hit the ball with the heel of
the club is one of the most natural
of faults, observes Dunn, because
of the centrifugal force generated in
your down swing. But it is a fault
that can be readily cured. He ad-
vises going to the other extreme
and addressing the ball with the toe
of the club. Furthermore, make up
your mind that you will hit the
ball with the toe. AS a result of
this thinking process you will pro-
badly find at the moment of impact
that your mind has compromised
on the subject and you have hit the
ball in the exact center.
"In case this method fails place
two balls on the ground about four
inches apart and make up your
mind that you will drive the near
ball without disturbing the other.
After a few attempts the far ball
won't bother you. This will cure
o of heeling."
How to Stop Topping"
AS one cure for the universal
failing of topping, Dunn suggests
crumpling up a small piece of paper
and lay this on the ground, an inch
or so behind the ball. Drive the
paper and you will hit the ball.
A suggestion of somewhat the same
nature is offered to the man who

THE OIL AND
GAS INDUSTRY
BY D. W. ereenburs

Probably the first discovery Of Pc
troleum in Wyoming was by the In
dams who gathered the fluid from oil
seeps and used it for medicinal pur-
poses. Captain B. L. e. Bonneville is
credited with having been the first
white man to have noted the presence
of petroleum in what is now Wyo-
ming as far back as 1888. Emigrants
along the old Oregon trail, 1t is said,
found a petroleum spring in what is
now Uinta county as early as 1S49,
collected the oil and used 1t for med
icinal purposes and to grease their
wheels.
James Bridger, Kit Carson, noted
trappers and plainsmen. knew of the
presence of petroleum seeps in the
late ICY" Iba, members of whose fam
lily now live at Caspar, discovered Pc
troleum at what is known as Poison
Spider, near Casper. Iba, Bridger and
Carson are said to ave collected the
oil from the spring at Poison Spider.
mixed 1t with flour and sold the pro-
duct to emigrants for axle grease as
early as the fifties. That was prob
ably the first commercial marketing
of Wyoming's petroleum.
The first producing we'll to be
drilled in the state of Wyoming was
in what is now Fremont county, near
Lander In 1888. At about the same
time ranchers in the Big Horn basin
used oil from a spring for illuminat-
ing purposes. The Shannon field
north Of what is known as the Salt
Greek field came in during 1889 and
1890 n gay to the state the first
large activity in petroleum produc-
ton. This oil vas hauled to Casper
by string teams and In 1895 the first
refinery in Wyoming was built at Cas-
per.
From that period forward develop
ment in the Salt Creek structure was
more pronounced, the first flowing
wells having been tapped by a Dutch
company. Subsequently the Midwest
Oil Company was organized by Colo
RADIO interests and Wyoming suddenly
found itself In the midst of rapid de-
velopment a 6 IN oil state. Other
fields and structures were tested and
some production disclosed, but the
Salt Creek field developed to be the
greatest light oil field In the world.
The Midwest Refining Company
succeeded to ownership of large hold
ings held by the Colorado interests
and built a refinery at Casper. Other
large petroleum companies entered
the field and every scientific method
known in the industry was exerted to
bring the petroleum production to the
highest state of efficiency. In 1894
the crude oil production in Wyoming
Appropriated 1000 barrels which is
in decided contrast to the 1000, 900
barrels produced in the stats In 1926.
Since much OF the Oh produced is
from wells on government and state
lands. the United States has received
in, royalties up to the present time
approximately $3.50 0O 900. The state
of Wyoming has also received from oil
produced on state leases approximate
ly $4,000, 900. the interest of which is
devoted to educational institutions.
and 1t is estimated that the oil indus.
try in Wyoming is paying approx
mately ~one-Quarter Of all the taxes
paid in the state OF Wyomina.

The Tip
By DIR. FRANK CRANE

YWlHE Pullman porters recently went rampage and
asked the company for more wages
They intimated that depending the tip for wages
rather too precarious.
The international congress of hotel keepers who
time ago Budapeh declared that the tip is odious
thing
They encouraged the attempt to remove by making il
part Of the hotel BILL usually supplement Of ten per cent
added to the regular bill of the hotel.
Many travellers abroad adopt this system When they
presented with bill the hotel they add ten cent
and this saves them nuisance of hunting everybody
and tipping each
tip is the money paid for courteous attention. but this
courtesy ought to be part Of the hotels business and there
is no reason why guests should be charged extra for it.
Perhaps It will never be possible to restrain the Opuent
traveller from paying little extra to get little extra at

Washington's Bid for Industrial
Development

Washington and needs industry This city is stepping
out for itself and is letting the coaais and
of the encouraging industry In telling its
story country large Washington going to be some
thing more than the seat of the government
Martin Leese president Of the Chamber Of Commerce in
outlining the third annual Industrial Exposition for Washing
ton to be held in March, stressed the fact that washington
expects million population This population is going to be
mainly dependent the business Of but upon
what Washington has to offer in the OF employment and
trade and as an unsurpassed residential city
Washngons farsighted business men have organized to
express in their exhibit what Washington and what does
in the way Of industry And Charles Darr vice president
Of the Chamber Of Commerce explained that his organization
sell the exhibitors and they turn must sell the public
the idea.
The District of Columbia produced $S0O0O000 worth OF
merchandise last year This does not compare with other
large industrial centers but it does show that Washngons
growth industry has been steady and surprisingly fast
also points distinctly the fact that Washington has great
possibilities fer industries which will be both credit and
to greater growth.
The third annual Industrial Exposition is set for March
In the meantime Washington manufacturers are planning line
things and Washington people expected to support in no
small measure exceptional educational and economic adj
vantages offered in this exposition.
