Delay in definately locating
many of the new buildings under
the 5 1000, 900 program approved
by Congress last year reminds his
torians of the wrangling which
grew out of the location of the
present Treasury Building. And
rev Jackson was president.
Congress, by resolution. direct
ed the President to cause a site to
be selected. 1t was announced at
the time as the intention of Con-
gress that no site would be chosen
that would in any wise interfere
with the sweep of view from the
White House to the Capital Build
ing. along Pennsylvania Avenue.
Finally. impatient with the de-
lay, Andrew Jackson one day
stalked from the White House
grounds. and %thrusting his walk
ing stick in the earth declared:
Here, right here, l want the cor
ner stone laid" And so it was.
The story is vouched for by
testimony before the committee,
and is a matter of record. the arch
.tect testifying that the site had
been determined upon 'by the pos
tive directions of the President"

The Biography Of a Caddy
BY JAMES j. MONTAGUE

Bill was born in little side street
not far from the golf course. The
street was locally known as "The
Cafldy Hatchery" It's supply was
steady and unfailing, each child ac-
companying his caddy brother to the
course at the age of five and going
out with players the following year.
Bill's right name was Luigi Guiseppi,
Garibaldi Iorocci But he never used
it. Asked his name and he would
say BILL" Bill is easy to say, and
not so formal and condescending as
"Caddy" The kind of players Bill
was out for are not formal or con-
descending. They like to be chummy
with the boy who carries their clubs,
and somehow they feel flattered at
their ability to remember his name.
People are queer Especially golfers.
Bill loafed around the caddy house
and listened in for the names of good
tippers When a brother in the pro-
fession announced that he had got
half dollar tip from Mr. Smithers,
Bill n1emorized "Smithers" and made
it a point to have it's owner identi-
fled for him by one of the other
boys.
He watched for Mr.. Smithers week

He omitted to say that his niblick
toe had done a great deal toward ad-
justing the position of the ball.
) Bill was best in tournaments. He
has tactful way of getting ahead of
the other caddies and depressing the
ball of an opponent-provided he was
stranger-so that it took three or
four shots to get it out. His eager
feet always managed to roll a ball
into a creek or pond or bunker, II
the ball was that of the man who
was playing against Bills principal.
Very often after tournament was
won, Bill would come into the caddy
house with a five dollar bill and ex-
hibit it proudly The fact that the
other boys believed that he had
stolen it out of the coat of the player
for whom he was working didn't dis
turb him. He knew he had come by
it honestly.
With women Bill was at his best.
Women as rule like to be told what
to do. They lack the blatant self
sufficiency which prevents most men
from ever finding out what is wrong
with them. Bill furnished first class
professional instruction to women
when he was far enough out on the
course to be out of sight of the pro.
He showed them how to swing and
hold their clubs, and he praised every
good shot they made. He was "a
little dear" to all the women players,
and they competed for his services
by giving bigger tips than women
commonly do Some of them even
called at his house and brought fruit
and flowers for Bills mother.
Bill gave up caddying at twenty-one
and entered business as a clerk. He
applied the same methods to business
that he did to the game of golf. He
did a little lying and flattering and
now and then a little cheating in
behalf of the man who employed
! him. And 1 am credibly informed
that he is regarded by his boss as a
brilliant young man, with a great
future before him. 1t will be a great
future, unless he gets into jail before
it is achieved.
Douglas daily dispatch., 1927-06-19

days, and of course chance came
along to caddy for him. Mr.. Smith
ers was a rotten player, but Bill was
no hero Worshipper. He knew he
could see good golf if he wanted to
by going to the tournaments at a
nearby course. But he didn't want
to. Bill wanted success in his pro-
feSsion.
The first day he went out with Mr..
Smithers he kept fairly ahead OF him,
and when he got into the rough
carefully improved his lie, SO 1T
wouldn't be so much trouble to get
out again. That day Mr.. Smithers
made the round in one hundred and
fifty instead of his customary two
hundred. He was transported. Bill
got thirty-five cents. The regular tip
was fifteen-or on some occasions a
quarter.
AS Mr.. Smithers' game improved,
Bills finesse and tact improved along
with it. He constantly complimented
the player on his shots.
"That was a peacheroo," he would
say, when Mr.. Smithers managed to
make q drive of $50 yards. without
getting off the course. Il wisilt l
could make shot like that"
Give Bill battered old brassie and
he could lay a ball down two hum
ndred yards away without any percep-
tible effort. But no player ever
caught him practicing.
If Mr.. Smithers sunk two foot
putt, Bill would clap his hands ana
dance around the green. You sure
do know how to allow for them rolls
on the green he would say. Il seen
pros who would have missed that
putt mile
Mr.. Smithers slowly improved. He
had already begun to notice that ne
played much better when Bill was
with him than when he had any
other caddy on the course. He re-
served Bill for every game.
The tip had grown to be a dollar.
Mr. Smithers could not help COM
menting in the locker room on Bills
sterling qualities He began to be IN
demand by other players. He care
fully studied the requirements OF ms
principals. He was quick to observe
that some players did not like cad
dies TO talk much, but he also op-
served that none OF them were aVerse
to a low compliment, or to a beaming
smile when they won hole.
He also found out that practically
all the players did not object to ad-
verse comment on the game OF their
opponents, and to the most IN
vidious sort Of comparisons. Bill made
these comments and comparisons,
sparingly or often, according to his
observation of the disposition OF the
players. He also learned that a smile
is quite out of place when a shot is
missed, and quite as welcome when it
happens to be good one. He used
his smiles to the best advantage.
In match games, Bill was always
out ahead, and never did the man
for whom he caddied find bad lie.
ggsfFunny how that ball happened to
roll he would say as the player came
up. ut picked out the one spot in
this here rough where there wasn't no
long grass. You can get it out with
the wood and make the green on it,

Are You Doing
Your Part?

Arizona produces more copper than any
other state in the union. And all of the peo-
pie living in the state are dependent to some
extent upon the copper industry for their
livelihood and their prosperity. Naturally the
people of Arizona are interested in the things
being done to promote the prosperity Of the
Copper Industry.
Shortly after the armistice The Copper &
Brass Research Association was formed by
the leading producers and fabncators Of the
United States. Its membership now en-
braces Il copper mining, smelling and re-
filming companies, and 22 copper and brass
fabricatng and distributing companies, the
leaders In the industry.
The Copper & Brass Research Association
is helping to increase the sale and extend the
uses Of copper and its alloys through ma
tional advertising and other educational
work. The current advertising Of the Copper
& Brass Research Association has total
circulation Of ISL ,406, ,214 since the first Of
the year. Newspapers, general magazines
and technical trade journals all tell the story
Of copper and its superior qualities to many
millions Of readers each month.
The Association conducts a Research de-
partment, which investigates new and exist
ing uses Of copper and copper products, and
Douglas daily dispatch., 1927-06-19

to it is referred the many inquiries Of tech
nicalnatme coming daily 10 the Association.
The Association also conducts Building
Service Department which assists home
builders, contractors and architects in solv-
ing the vexing problems confronting them.
Specifications are provided covering the
many uses Of copper and its alloys. In the
five years Of its existence the Association
has cooperated with more than $4,000
plumbing contractors to increase the use of
brass pipe and plumbing fixtures. This de-
partment also keeps record of advance IN
formation on building which it furnishes 10
architects, contractors and builders.
One billion eight hundred million pounds Of
copper was consumed in the United States
last year, phenomenal increase in domes-
tic usage over pre-war years.
What assistance has been given to this move
ment tor the prosperity OF Anzona's greatest
industry by the people Of Arizona? What
have you done to increase the usage Of cop
per and, in turn, the prosperity Of the state
and your own prosperity?
Are you using copper wherever you can, or
do you ''let George do it''9 Are you using
Copper and Brass screening, electric fix
lures, and in the many other places where
copper excels? In other words, are you" do
ing your bit" for your own prosperity

A big jack rabbit drive was held in
the Baldwin district Sunday, farmers
and business men for miles around
taking part in the drive. The day
was ideal, being sunshiny and warm,
and a large number of the pests met
their doom. The men partic ipating
in the drive formed large ring east
of Baldwin gradually drawing closer
together. Noon lunch was served at
the Oscar Sattler home, the food be-.
ing furnished by w. c. Gehrkc, local
merchant. Mr.. Gehrke also set a
special price on ammunition for the
drive and otherwise aided 1t. The rab-i
bits were shipped away, and the pro-
ceeds from the sale of their skins
will be divided among the hunters.
Another rabbit drive is planned for
next Sunday, this drive taking place
west of Baldwin in Glenview town

stronger each year, as the natural
enemies of the rabbits, the coyotes,
are destroyed, and during the past
few weeks the whole country has been
overrun by them.

Rupp, which he declined to sell. This
makes three land sales in our inn
