BY STEPHEN LEACOCK.

T HAVE been very busy of late pre-
pairing a little Manual for Golfers
1t was to have appeared quite early
in the season, but unfortunately
it was not completed in time, and
still remains in an unfinished and un-
satisfactory condition. In fact I am not
able to publish 1t at all in its full form
| this season, and therefore present here
merely a few fragments of what will
next year, hope, appear as complete
manual.
The general notion of my little book
is to aid the golfer whose point Of view
needs Strengthening out to bring him
back to his true bearings.
Reading over my little manual is sup
posed to help the golfer to recover rap
idly the poise and attitude of his mind.
AN INTELLIGENCE TEST.
Part One of the manual is to con-
| tain set of questions and answers
framed as an intelligence test. The
golf enthusiast, before settling down to
his seasons work, may test the adjust
ment of his brain by rapidly running
over the following queries:
What Is meant by Summer?
The time of year during which golf
Is played.
What other seasons are there?
None, that can recall.
How would you define city?
! should call 1t a large group OF
houses and people situated within 8 or
10 miles of a golf club.
Right.
And what Is a railway?
An apparatus of transportation used
as means Of access to a golf club
What is meant by the country?
Open space about city divided into
golf courses.
If you go farther what do you see?
More golf courses.
Correct.
Upright growths of wood on a golf
course.
And what is grass?
Vegetation on fairway.

Very good. You have answered these
questions, which are elementary, in a
way to show that your mind is rapidly
readjusting itself. Let us now pass to
something more difficult:
Name any way by which you can tell
whether or not 1t is raining when you
are playing golf.
raining is to observe whether the water
Is running from the back of the cap
down inside the back of the shirt and
on down into the knees of the trousers.
If So then it Is raining.
Very good. Now let us see If you re-
call the proper method of scoring at |
golf, including the technique, or, so to |
speak, the arithmetic of the score.
Let us suppose that In coming down |
the fairway you have had, as nearly as |
you recall, four long shots in which |
your aim has been distance, four more |
in which you have made your approach |
to and fro past the green and four |
more on the green itself. How many Is i
that for the hole?
Eight.
Correct. Now let me test whether
you have got back into the proper spirit |
of membership toward your fellow men,
berS In your club. What is your feeling |
toward new members?
Keep them out.
What about lady memhers7
Keep them out.

means real accomplishment. Expert

THE unilateral system Of lighting
u schoolrooms from natural sources
of daylight is step in the right direc-
ton. Under such arrangement, the
light enters from the left side of the
room so that it shines over the left
shoulders of the students and provides
the best conditions for study. In most
States, which have recognized the eff
f1ciency of the unilateral lighting of
Schoolrooms, the specifications provide
that the window-glass area must equal
at least one-f1fth of the total floor
space. Considerable improvement has
obtained, but there remains ample OPP
portunity for additional betterment in
public school daytime illumination. The
United States Public Health Service
hopes to contribute added benefits and
scientific knowledge to this cause.
Modern factories which consist chief
ly of great shells of glass with the
weight of the building concentrated on
central piers and pillars is another con-
struction reform which features the
more efficient illumination of such shops
and manufactures. Future factories,
however, will be better lighted than any
now in use, when the Washington glass

tentially various other colors, such as

values.
The floor of the research structure
Is subdivided by black boundary lines,
their intersections locating SO test
stations. The stations are six feet
apart. In each test of light exposure
from different directions and of vary
ing amount, technical readings are
made of the amount of light at each
station. These observations, made by
use of a special light recording device
originated for the purpose, are made
at a standardized distance of 80
inches above the floor-the height of
the ordinary desk or table.

to the influence of direct sunlight

conditions in buildings. Sunlight is or
dinarily screened from the home. Office
or apartment by the use of shades and
awnings.
One infallible rule which Uncle Sans
experts abide by is never to attempt
experimentation on days when the sun
is alternately bright and overcast with
clouds. The arbitrary rule followed is
to make records only on days which are
either bright and sunshiny when the
sky is all a-smile or on days when Old
Sol is shrouded in clouds and never
gets chance to peep through or over
this dark screen from dawn until dark
ness.
On days when the sky is alternately
bright and dark, light values flIctuate
as much as 400 to 500 per cent in a
few minutes. These variations would
have to be worked out correctly and
allowed for if tests in the glass house
were attempted under such conditions.
This would complicate the results un-
necessarily.

Public Health Service use a special

Science has explored the riddles of
artificial light such as electricity and
gas lamps from the bottom up. The
national, State and private research
agencies have delved deeply into these
perplexing problems of the economical
and efficient lighting of streets, build
ings and industrial plants during the
time when the sun is at Sleep" A
data trove- full to overfiowing with
technical treasure has been obtained.
Practically all of the doubt and dark
ness are being stamped permanently
from artificial light puzzles.
While the mysteries of artificial light
have marched forward to successful
solution, the secrets of daylight illuni-
nation for the most part have marked
time. Architecture, the engineering
profession, the building associations and
Evening star., 1928-10-28

other organizations which specialize in
modern construction have taken for
granted the gift of daylight and have
concerned themselves as little as may be
with gaining more intimate acquaint-
anceship with this natural phenomenon
and its potentialities as they pertain
to the more economical and efficient
use of human eyeSight indoors.
It surely is no trade secret that the
limited knowledge of architects and de-
Signers as to the best location, size,
number and type of windows In homes
and Office buildings or apartment houses
is almost entirely empirical. Their
consummations are based on the "hit
or miss" "cut and try" systems and
are not based on scientific reasoning.

Golfers Pocket Guide

Very good. Your answers are salts
factory. Now let me tell you some
thing as to the various combinations of
players among whom golf may be
played.
There is first the Two Some, or game
of golf played by two people, each Of
whom is playing with the other because
you can't have contest without getting
another.
Then there is the Three Some, or
game played by three people, each two
OF whom would rather that the third
was not there.
Finally there is the Four Some,
meaning Large Crowd or Assemblage
moving around the links, containing
(aS it feels to otherS) about 2 players
and 10 caddies. Total, Twenty.

In connection with nearly all other
games, as, for example, with bridge and
chess, and so on, it Is the custom to de-
wise and print special problems"
By this means devotees of the game,
when not actively engaged in play, may
still enjoy the spirit Of their paStime
So far as know, this has not been
done for Golf, and am therefore pro-
posing few simple problems along the
same lines. I will quote one or two in
this connection.
PROBLEM I.
A and B are engaged in a game Of
nine holes and are exactly even after
playing the eighth hole. A has played
the last hole in six, and just as he COM
pleteS it Is summoned to the telephone
in the Club House. A calls to B to
complete the hole and goes on into the
Club House.
Which wins, and In how many strokes
does B make the hole?
PROBLEM II.
A player. x, Is playing in a secluded
corner of the fairway and has already
had 5 strokes and has an excellent
prospect in doing the hole in either
10 or a. Making powerful stroke
with a brasSie. he misses the ball en-
tirely. Looking all around after his
stroke, he realizes that he ts quite
alone. The grass, the trees and the
sky are exactly where they were.
There are no sounds; all Is quiet, and
existence OF another soul. How many
strokes has he had?
PROBLEM III.
Two of your fellow members, who
we will call M and N, invite you to
act as umpire or arbiter II the case
of the ownership of a mid-iron. They
have found 1t mixed up among their
kit, each having a mId-iron already,
and each being uncertain as to whether
he had an extra mid-iron, or profess
ing to be so.
In looking at the mid-iron it re-
minds you of a mid-iron which you
are nearly sure you left in a club
locker last year-either in this club or
another club-and either in this city
or in city.
Question-After your award is all
over, how many mid-irons has A and
how many has B?
\ X
There. Those may serve as a SAM
pies Of the kind of problems which the
enthusiast may multiply to any extent.
Let me turn to another point which
shink is not found in any other guide
