When a child is found violating the

Play this little shot with tremen-
dous force, even as great as for the
drop lie in u fairway bunker. Come
down heavily two or three inches be-
hind the ball which will jump as If
an explosion had been set off under
it. THIS is the explosion shot. The
force, in fact, does not come TO the
ball from underneath it and the ball
fiops out onto the green with scarce
ly any run to it at all.
This is the place where practice

how far behind the ball to come
down to insure certain distance and
with the fine shade of regulation re-
quired, many n bad approach can be
made up by laying the ball dead for
the hole out putt. 1t is that capacity
to recover which distinguishes the
good player from the mediocre. No
golfer has yet appeared who can
avoid getting into trouble and the
thing to do is TO get out of it neatly.
Billy Reed, one OF the old guard
on the municipal courses, plays the
explosion shot better than anyone |
know of. Billy always has been a
wonderful student in golf and his
game shows 1t. In playing the bad

rather highere on the back swing

struck, because this is a descending
blow. II finishes in the sand or

EDITORIALS

lea has been rough and discouraging
Yet, there are so many things to be
done here in America, before world
problems are approached, that we are
sincerely inclined to concentrate up
ON American affairs, believing that II
we can cope with them we may then
be in a better position to carry glad
tidings across the seas.
For instance, we could concentrate
upon improving the educational back
ground and facilities which are avail
able to us in the U. S. A. Next, per-
haps, we could pool our resources and
create some industries and business
enterprises which would give in
creased employment and better
wages to the folks at home. At the
same time, we could foment a COM
petitive atmosphere which would give
the white folks clearer picture of
us as producers, rather than consum-
ers.
Politically, we might all really get
behind capable candidates for public
offices or stop knitting" them when
some one else gets behind them. By
unity we could create an atmosphere
which might pass an anti-lynching bill
with real teeth in it, and we could
blacklist and boycott those among us
who accent cleomosynary benefices
from the Ku Klux Klan.
In other words, and with all due
respect to Professor Du Bots and his
Pan-African cohorts, we could re-
member the admonition of the Mon
roe doctrine and beware of foreign
entanglements. For, to us it looks
as though our job will be right here
for the next hundred or so wears.

East-Prospect Telephones
Change System Sat. Night

All telephones in the East-Prospect
district will be changed to operation
on dial basis at midnight September
3, 1927. This statement was made
today by Manager G. o. Myers of the
telephone company.
At 11:45 Saturday night, Septem-
Der 3, highly trained and fully re-
hearsed group of telephone employees

stroke of midnight they will begin
making the change and in five min

spond to the hum of the dial tone
when the receiver is lifted. These
men have been rehearsing their parts
for weeks and when midnight of Sep
TENDER 3 arrives every one viii be
ready to perform his assignment in
the shortest possible time.
The telephone company will be
glad to give any one desiring it fur

The Pullman Company persists in
its refusal to recognize the Brother
hood of Sleeping Car Porters. The
majority of the porters belong to it
and the United States board of medi-
alton now recognizes it. Edwin p.
Morrow of the board of mediation
called upon both parties in the dis
pute to mediate their differences and,
in case mediation should fail, to sub
nit the matter to the board of arbi-
tration. The Brotherhood agreed;
the Pullman Company refused.
The general public can not fail to
sympathize with the Brotherhood in
its fight for better working condi-
tions. For years the Pullman Com
pany, while rolling up its snug divi-
dends, has forced its porters to col
lect the greater part of their wages
from the public in tips and has given
them working hours that would un-
dermine any constitution. The addi-
tional wages that would give the por-
ter fair compensation go into the
pockets of the company. The public
has come to realize that the real re-
.ceiver of their tips is the Pullman
Company. There is an old saying
among railroad conductors: "Abra-
ham Lincoln freed the slaves, but his
son enslaved them again."

Land, Brooks Freed
In Federal Court

Tucson, July 14.-The names
of Webster H. Land and Byrd
Brooks, former officials of the
now defunct Tucson National
bank, were wiped off the docket Of
the district court here. wh-n on
motion of Assistant United States
District Attorney Carl Tisor al
charges against the two men were
dismissed.
They had been charged with
irregularities in connection with
their conduct of the bank and OF
using the bank and the banks
funds to further their own inter-
ests. They were tried last Oct
ober and a hung jury resulted.
Tlsor said he had recommended to
Attorney General Sargent two
weeks ago that the charges be dis
missed and authorization of the
action was received yesterday.
He declared the motion to dis
miss was based on grounds that
the first indictment was raised
only after the statute of limita-
tions had run against most of the
alleged over acts, which he declar-
ed was due to carelessness of
Osborne and not of his office.
