The string quartet, composed of

The next feature was the presenta-
ton of John Prindle Scott, a com
poser of songs both popular and
sacred which are sung constantly on
programs all over the world. Mr.
Scott always shows a keen sense of
humor in his remarks. He was ac-
companist at the piano for James
Barr. young Washington tenor, who
sang four of Mr.. Scotts songs espe~
ciallv well. Mr.. Barr has an unusually
vibrant, colorful quality of voice with
much resonance of tone; his diction is
excellent, and he sings as though he
thoroughly enjoyed doing So AS he
grows in his training and experience,
he will doubtless gain in developing
and controlling his resonance so that
each note Is of exactly the same value
as every other note. Also, he has a
slight muffling effect, pulling and
only occurring occasionally, to over

if he can obtain the consent of
Jimmy Johnston, manager of

The golden rule for this club Is:
Hold II more loosely. Gig. 81
tighten on each succeeding hole.

Watch the hands of the great
professionals and you will notice
that some of them do a relaxing
exercise either consciously or uncon-
sciously just before they grip the mid.
iron. But the grip must be firm and
always in the fingers, with the sense
Of touch predominating. for with the
midfron one must be conscious of
the fact that he is going to place
his shot.
The player should stand a little
more open with this club than with
the woodens. The stance is likely
to be uneven. and il he tries for the
square one he finds 1t difficult
owing to the Irregularities. Adjust
The position of the feet comfortably.
Good footwork has much to do with
the well played iron shot. Fig.S.l
