IDEAS ON GOLF
Goose" Goslin Gives Ills Views on It's Effect on the Hitting Of Ball Players.

Hot Springs, Ark. Feb. il LF1 - Golf is great stuff for the baseball hitter who takes a full swing, but is bad medicine for the batter who chokes his bludgeon, in the opin- ion of Leon Goose" Goslin, slug ging outfelder of the Washington Americans.
 The Goose" qualified as a golf authority by his play here in the South Central open tournament in which he has an amateur status. Teamed with Joe Turnesa, profes- sional. Goslin shared second hon. DTS in the mixed professional and amateur best ball matches We'd nesday.
 Yesterday, however, he must have been thinking in baseball terms for an excuse to get out Of his scheduled game for he picked up his ball after playing only a few holes and returned to the clubhouse. "Too cold" he said.
 Golf has helped me a whole lot" Goslin said. Tt has taught me to follow through. Before I played golf I knew nothing of following through on my swing at the pate. I have learned that it is essential on the tees and fairways, and l think it has given me distance in my wallops on the diamond"
 The Goose" admitted that the wood clubs and the tee shots with their possibilities of long distances him most.
 "For the hitter who cow-tails his bat and takes a free swing, the game of golf is a good thing" the fence smashing athlete explained, but if l were a manager l would not let a player who chokes his bat play golf. It won't do him any good.
 But you can't hurt a natural free swinging hitter" he added.

 The journey from Seville, Spain, to Barreiro, Portugal, required four days instead of the usual thirteen hours, on account of the strike on the railroads.

With the passing of the crisis the feeling of dependency passes and the druggist slips back into, his ac- customed notch.

The Storm Signs Are Out

The storm signs out in North Dakota. AL
things point toward blow. The reason is thu
coming of Smith W. Brookhart, senator from Iowa
He is to speak at Valley City picnic the latte,
part of this MONTH
1t is as inevitable as the passing of time tina!
Mr.. Brookhart will talk a subject particularly
dear to him. That subject at present is about zoe
miles southwest of us in mountain fastness. In
case you haven't guessed his identity, it is none
other than Calvin Coolidge.
Mr.. Brookhart has proven an apt talker on this
subject before. He showed his aptness earlier this
year by appearing like deaths head at the feast
at Sioux City meeting the day the president cele-
brated his birthday up in the Black Hills. The re-
frain he sang concerned itself with the iniquities
of one Calvin. He was rather unsparing in his de-
nunciation.
Now Senator Brookhart is to visit u.s. Just what
he will have to say. about Calvin should be Of in
terest. Undoubtedly, the "downtrodden condition
of North Dakota farmers under the Coolidge ad-
ministration" will be part of his tale.
Senator Brookhart has done some worthwhile
things during his term in congress, it cannot be de-
MED, but he seems to be wasting his time when he
concentrates on Coolidge. flow of rhetoric can
not efface the ability Of the man. Words won't at
feet the opinions Of most people.

Daily Health
Service
BY DIR. NORRIS FIsHBEIN

BY DIR. NORRIS FISHBEIN
Editor Journal of the American
Medical Association and of Hygeia.
the Health Magazine
For the first time in advertising
history, posters Of women smoking
cigarets appeared on the billboards
some months ago.
DR.. Jesse F.. Williams, however,
points out that smoking by women
has not yet had general approval,
for women do not smoke openly on
the streets, although innumerable
women may be seen smoking in
hotels. restaurants and in the lob
bies Of theaters.
The hygienic aspects Of the ques-
ton are still matter of doubt. In
general. the statement may be made
that smoking in moderation never ap-
preciably shortened the life of any
human being. On the other hand,
smoking TO- excess brings into the
body significant amounts of poison
Gus substances. SO that trainers Of
athletes are inclined to warn their
charges against smoking. There are
also individual differences to be con-
sidered. because some persons are
more sensitive to the effects Of nico-
tin and the other ingredients of to-
bacc0 than are others.
In nursing mothers who smoke ex-
cessively. nicotine may be found in
the breast milk, and obviously may
affect the infant. A French physi-
clan has asserted that wet nurses who
smoke or chew tobacco can poison
the babies they nurse, as evidenced
by symptoms of digestive, disturb
ances, restiessness, shortness of
breath and similar disorders. On the
other hand, in the experience Of an
American specialist in diseases of
children. harm has not been observ-
ed in babies nursed by mothers who
SMOKED a great deal.
DR.. Williams is inclined to con-
slider the subject from the psyche
legic side as we'll as from the physi-
cal aspect. He feels that the secrecy
associated with smoking by women is
detrimental to character and that a
bad effect will be had, unless the
woman who smokes will do so openly
whenever she desires to do so, re.
garding only the comfort of others,
and without regard to their disap-
prevail on what are called moral
lines. Nurses and professional wom-
en- engaged in service to the public
must naturally consider first the
public that they serve.
