their command on the ball and still

same is true of swinging a golf
club.
There is a strong inclination on
the part of the average golfer to
press whenever he comes to a sit
uation where a well-hit shot will
be required to get him home or to
carry a distant hazard or the like.
He feels that he will have to hit
the ball extra hard to get the de-
sired result. But unfortunately,
when. he tries to do this. he not
only fails to deliver the maximum
force to the ball, but through this
extra effort the club head reaches
the ball In such a way that a
topped or crooked shot is the result.

The explanation lies in the fact
thar he made no effort to hurry the

the aim in every shot. Surprisingly
little force Is needed to drive a golf
ball q good distance.

withstand without damage. 1t surrounded him with
all sorts of posons which, added to his abominable

No wonder then that lung tuberculosis, if it did

William had hard times
But during all those times none of the patients
who had often said that he had saved their
lives and that they were forever devoted 10 him,
none came to see him. They followed the crowd
and the gossip. Nobody asked him whether he had
his rent or food. He struggled on passively, wait
ing for better days.
His situation improved when few Jewish pa
tients found the way to his office. But they were
difficult to deal with. They were not as quiet and
resigned and submissive as his previous non-Jewish
clientele They were nervous, often the verge
of insanity, questioning every of his orders and
wanting to know the reasons for everything
How often did he have to treat those who had
just over from Europe and were suffering
from the terrors of the great and from the
shocks Of the antisemetic pogroms! Their fright
ened eyes were wide open and they gazed around
themselves with a constant fear of an impending
danger. There were the who had seen hor.
rors, base cowardy rapes for the act that the peo
pie called love. They still felt their feeble bod
les the creeping fingers of strong men, drunk with
rut and vodka, the caress of the bloody tyrants

o let me greatly live and die
Who am so base and meek of soul;
Give all this coward flesh the lie,
Resistless sweep me to the goal
Thou song of songs sweet Liberty,
Strengthen, uplift, inspire me!
When men build barbados from woe
And man them with the heart of hope;
When Misery would strike blow
Surging from slum, from mill, from stopt
OF darkest mine-O bid me rise
And voice thy noble ecstasies!
Scented with wine, and silver clad,
Voluptuous, passion-breathing lutes;
Strung cords vibrating to the mad
Lust after strange forbidden fruits,
"The art for Arts sake"-let him be-
He cannot rise and follow thee
But / so base and humble /,
This six-score ten Of coward flesh.
Would greatly live and greatly die,
Would slip the thong and loose the leash,
Would sweep with thee to life or death,
Thy wild sweet music on my breath.

What shall the futures children speak of you,
You bought and paid for tool Of tyranny
You bloody Jeffreys of New Enelands Greed7
You bringing, servile Iackey, they shall spew
The thought Of you forth from their memory
AS something Ioathsome, vile in history
No words could pen the depths Of infamy
Too black to fill the minds of people freed.
Crawl on your belly while you live, and lick
The pudgy hand Of wealth that fills your purse;
Employ every artifee and trick
To doom the brave We name you with curse
Corrupt, debased, swine Of a tinseled sty,
Our hate shall haunt your sleep unit you die.
