It back slowly, and then hit the
ball. You are not going to hit 1t
right II you snatch the head back.
An idea Of what I am trying
TO bring out can be gotten from
watching woman thread needle.
She draws the thread back slowly,
and then pushes It through.
Imagine what luck she would
nave II she tried to snatch it back
quickly and then jab at the opening.
You can expect the same luck from
this method in putting.
Then there is another Inn
pOrtant thing to be remembered.
Numberless puts are missed be-
cause the player does not &C.
tualIy watch the ball until it
has been struck.
Tt is rather peculiar fact. but
fact nevertheless, that the shorter
the stroke, the stronger the tend
ency to hurry 1t, and hurrying the
stroke almost always results In TAX
ing the eye off the ball. looking up
too soon.
Try to pick out definite spot ON
the back side of the ball. and hit
that spot with the club face, Just
as though you were hitting a tack
with q hammer. And don't be in a
hurry to look up to see whether the
ball Is going In.
] have known players to practice
Keeping the head down until they
heard the bali drop--if 1t dropped,
and that Is good plan.
Ability to pick the line to the
hole. and judgment OF distance and
OF the force to be used in hitting
the ball come only with practice
and experience. You will need both.
But in the actual manner of the
hitting. employ light grip, take
the club back slowly. keeping the
head close to the turf, and then
keep the eye on the ball until 1t has
been struck. These are the funda-
mentals to be kept In mind.

PLANNING FOR
STICKER SALE
Fl Million Christmas Seals
Apportioned to State
of Washington

With the distribution of over
81 million Christmas seals to the
thirty-nine county chairmen of the
state, the Washington tuberculosis
association, state seal agent, is
preparing for the largest sale in
the history of the state.
Preliminary plans for the sale
are more complete at this date
than in any previous year in my
experience" said Mrs. r. C. Nc
Credie, state seal chairman, who
since 1912 has been prominently
identified with the tuberculosis
movement in Washington. "Thru
years of faithful service, the pub
lice can see in the various COM
munities the concrete results of
the power of this CHEEKY little
Christmas messenger. The splendid
senatorial of our state and our
county tuberculosis nursing SER
vice owe their establishment in the
community to the Christmas seal,
while the chest clinic, the Cru
sade-Nutrition work and the edu-
cational program of the associa-
ton which supplement local eff
forst are made possible through
the seal, which is the support of
the death-reducing campaign of
the county, state and national tu-
berculosis organizations.
Cali who are interested and
want to help may, as the seals
will be available on the business
mans desk and at residences thru
the mail, to the transients and
shoppers thru booths and in the
country through the school chill
dren. The conquest of tuberculosis
is everybody's business, and the
Christmas seal is the accepted
weapon. Let us use it in 1927 as
never before"
The sale officially opens Nov.
% and closes Christmas Eve.

NatiUes Confirmed in
Their Belief in Ju-Ju

There is a little final touch to a
story in the British Medical Jour-
nal which Should give supporters
to the thirteen superstition" and
similar delusions something to
think about.
It occurs at the cad OF an ac-
count, by medical officer In West
Africa, Of how thirteen native w0m-
en- were all struck and killed by
lightning while covering under the
same galvanized iron shelter. All
the natives, including the driver
of the motor lorry which had been
sent to remove the bodies to q
mortuary, firmly refused to enter
the shelter, as there was a preva-
lent belief that anyone removing
the bodies before the "ju-ju" mao
been appeased by a ceremony OF
publication by the thunder WON
en-" would die within week.
However, the. European manager
of the local transport company TOOK
the bodies to the mortuary In spite
of the warnings he also received:
Three days later he was admitted
to the European hospital at Accra
and died of yellow fever after three
days illness.

WON'T PAY NEIGHBoR

Rural electric power users are
willing to pay power companies a
share of the cost of extending
their lines but if the neighbors
club together to get the service
farmers who are left out protest
against reimbursing those who
raised the first pot. The depart
ment of public works discovered
this trait but nobody can explain
the reason. State rules provide
that pole line-extensions must be
paid for by prospective customers
whose money is refunded during
a 14-year period. Those who refuse
to go into the first agreement are
barred from service for three
years and then must bear their
share of extension costs. Repeated.
ly it has been found tardy patrons
have cheerfully offered to put UP
their money if the electric COM
panies would get it but they pro-
test bitterly against recompensing
their neighbors.

Biggest Achievement in
History of Screen to be
Shown Here Soon

A picture offered to the public
as a human document is King
Vidor's "The Big Parade" from a
story by Laurence Stallings, COM
ing soon to the Liberty Theatre.
The title symbolizes the big par
ade of humanity right up to the
World War Crisis and the big
parade coming back.
The coming of "The Big Par
ade" is keenly awaited, first be-
cause Metro Goldwyn- Mayer gave
Mr.. Stallings the opportunity of EN-
bodying pictorially his knowledge
and tremendous feeling about the
war and, second, because that con-
Germ put into the task of produc-
ton a great enthusiasm and the
utmost resource in time, money,
skill and personnel. Following the
authors idea, it was made primar-
lily as simple and human story
and not as a spectacular "movie."
Yet about twelve thousand regu-
lars from Fort Sam Houston and
the membership of several Amer
lean Legion posts took part in the
battle scenes and the representa-
ton of life behind the lines. That
there might be no flaw in history,
Brig. Gen. Paul B. Malone and his
staff at the fort directed the re-
enaction of the fighting, with Col.
Harry Bishop as the officer of the
day. General Malone and the other
general officers, in these scenes
of Belleau Wood and the Argonne,
commanded some of the same
units Of the Second Division, u. s.
A., which they had led thru the
Argonne.
The special work of the vets was
to give verisimilitude to the scenes
of life in the billet, wherein the
author from his store of expert
ence had contributed many anus
ing Incidents. These were added to
by the boys personal stories and
"reminiscences.
In the scenes with the French,
Renee Adoree, the featured player
| in the production, contributed

Coming Big Parade :
Keenly Awaited Here

from her knowledge of peasant
France. Miss Adoree was born in
Lille. Through the fortunes of the
war her continental career as dane
er and stage player was cut short,
and she barely escaped the German
onset on Brussels, where she had
been appearing; a French refugee
not altogether unlike her character
of Melisande in "The Big Parade"
she was obliged to seek new for
tunes in London and America.
The favorite, John Gilbert, was
cast for the role of Jim Apperson,
the hero Of the story. Executives
were SO pleased with the film
brushes" nightly screened after
the days work that they decided
to make the leading player the
star of the picture. AS Bull O'Hara
the corporal, and Slim, the San
dinavian private, Mr.. Gilbert had
two-fsted coadutors in Tom o.
Rrien and Karl Dane; the former
an ex-service man, big game hunt
er and world adventurer, and the
latter Dane by nature as well as
cognomen, who had played in "My
Four Years in Germany" O'Brien
and Dane were s'finds." The Holly
wood underground" soon whis-
pered that these men had hit their
opportunity.
Otherwise the cast included Ho-
bart Bosworth and Claire Mellow
ell as the parents of Jim; Rosita
Marstini, Belgian actress, as mo-
Their of Melisande; Robert Ober as
stay-at-home, and Claire Adams
as Jim's American sweetheart.
Of course, in "The Big Parade"
the master theme is the reaction
of Jim and his buddies and his
French girl to the war - that
dreadful catastrophe which, rather
than any personal agency, is the
william of the piece. King Vidor,
with a fine sense of the authors
values, directed Gilbert, Adoree,
O'Brien and Dane. He found them
responsive to the great thought,
and eager to embody the soul
crisis of the participants.
The highest proof of 'The Big
Parade" success is that it has al
ready been seen and enjoyed by
more than 100000 American
theatre goers. 1t is in its second
year at the Astor Theatre, New
York, and now on view in the 9TH
er principal capitals of the world.

Thirteen at Table

The origin of the superstition
about the unluckfness OF the thir.
teenth person at a table Is SO oi0
as to be unknown. Thirteen, from
earliest times, has been numDer
with mystic associations = ike
three and seven.
Rev. e. Gotham Brewers dc
tionary Of Phrase and Fable re-
cords that: at is said that the
origin of sitting down thirteen at
dinner being deemed unlucky ID
because, at a banquet In valhalla,
Lokf once iatruded, making thir-
teen guests, and Balder was slain.
"In Christian countries the super
stition was confirmed by the Last
Supper of Christ and the twelve
apostles, but the superstition itself
is much anterior TO Christianity"

Vary Feed with Cow

The method of giving every milk
cow in the herd the same amount
of food. regardless of production,
is a costly practice. 1t frequently
results in undertaking the heavy
mixers and overlooking the board
ers. If a few pounds were withheld
from the low producers and added
to the allowance of the high pro-
ducers. more milk would be pro-
duced by a herd without any in
crease in feed cost.
A good practice is to feed every
cow in the herd all the roughage
she will clean up. Then give each
cow one pound of grain mixture
for every three or four pounds of
milk produced.
