TORNEY TO AID

A member of the local lodge of
Knights of Pythias sent the following
to The Republican for today's issue:
Brother A. T. Matthews will ad-
dress local Pythians at the Castle Hall
on Friday night. His subject will be
"The Life of Abraham Lincoln" a
most appropriate one at this date
when we as American citizens honor
the memory of the martyr. Bro. Mat

tention of his listeners and we prom
Use you that he has something worth
while to say. Not only will the serious
side of his life be presented, but the
humorous as well. Bro. Matthews
needs no introduction to us as he is a
prominent member of the Garrett
County Bar, occupies place in the
affections of everyone who knows
him, is an efficient officer Of the local
lodge and holds the distinction of be-
ing past master in the art Of speech.
In short his witty, convincing manner
of speaking is inimitable, while his
magnetic personality is Incompatible.
If you have missed these other good
entertainments given by the lodge do
not miss the best of its kind which
will be the attraction Friday night.
Let US see your smiling faces Friday
night as we cut another slice of this
melon.
On behalf of Garrett Lodge we wish
to state that our hats are off to the
Boy Scouts of America. We class the
affair last Friday night as an enter
tainment royal, which gives vague
impression of what it really was. We
beheld with wonderment the demon
strations of first aid training, the his
tory of the flag we love, Scout signs
of various kinds, signalling, map
drawing and civil engineering in many
forms. We have not the time or space
to mention in detail each demonstra-
ton but we wish to commend both
the scoutmaster, Scott Shirer, on his
efficiency and Troop No. l on theirs.

offer our sincere appreciation for the

To Serve Six Months in Jail and
Pay Fine of $500 Following
Conviction at Parsons.

H. A. Donaldson was convicted in
sne Circuit Court of Tucker county,
sitting at Parsons, West Va, one day
last week, of involuntary manslaugh-
ter, and was sentenced to serve six
months in jail at Parsons and to pay
a find, tf $500.
It i'll be remembered by readers of
The Republican that during the month
of August of last year, on the road
between Davis and Thomas, Donald
son struck a car belonging to Warder
Roy, youth residing at or near Da-
Wis, which resulted in the death of
Roy. The testimony at the trial of
Donaldson showed that Roy was in
front of his car repairing a tire when
Donaldson's struck Roy's car, causing
it to pass over his body, which pro-
duced injuries from which he died.

The Legislative wheels are moving
along in the same old hum-drum way,
with the usual dynamite that it takes
to jar the Legislators from their
seats, absent. And then, too, the
"black bag" is not yet in evidence,
and some of the members are some
what sleepy, which is not at all
strange, when you come to think of it.
With just one-third Of the session
over, few committee meetings have
been held, in fact none of Importance
until this week. Unquestionably the
leaders miss the late Anthony (Tony)
Dimarco, as he could always start
things going, and sometimes finish
them as well.
Strange is it not that the hand
which has been dead for twenty-one
years still controls the method of pc
litical dealing at the present day? The
old political rules established by the
late Senator Arthur P. German are
the ones that are being applied today
by the leaders running the show Of
the great free state.

In this sport Of golf which Is
nothing more than hitting the bail
along the lire of flight with the
clubs face at right angles to this
line, one fault that often prevents
this happy result is swaying of the
body. The reason for all the care
on the backswing is merely to
measure definite space from
shoulder to ball. But often the
golfer who has done that will throw
his good intentions to the winds by
swaying his body. Consequently,
on the downswing. his left shoulder
will not be at the same point in
space when his club face strikes
the ball as 1t was on the backswing.
1T will be a few inches TO the rear
of this spot Two poor results fol-
low. He either hits the ball late,
that it, after the club head has
passed the point where the ball
should have been. which causes
cut across the ball and a slice; or
the club head viii be coming up
from the ground when he connects
with the ball, which causes him TO
top the ball.
There are many reasons for sway
ing and the player Is usually I'M
conscious Of them, He tries every
remedy to prevent poor results, but
finds no cure. Jim Barnes gave us
a eorker some years ago. Try
few drives with the shadow of your
head directly on the ball. Note If
YOU are swaying or not. If you are
swaying you can catch the trouble
right off. Remember that one.
