Aubrey Hastings, the trainer, when
told Of the reports In the London

mile gallop. have been with him
some time and he is in splendid condi-
ton, giving every satisfaction in gallops.
We experienced some very trying
conditions for training Mt Wroughton
owing to frost so I brought him down
here with the other horses. The sand
is specially narrowed each morning to
remove stones and Billy then takes a
good gallop. He works well and Is

Asked when the American colt would
be taken back to the Hastings stables
he said that would depend upon the
weather and when the frost got
thoroughly out of the home grounds.

BY SOL xfETZGER.

Almost invariably the orthodox
golf star gradually closes his stance
as he plays the gamut of shots rang
ing from putt to drive until 1t Is
square (toes paralleling the line) for
the latter. Thus, all well executed
shots find the player facing the hole
at the finish. Still, glance at each
player as he or she finishes the
stroke enables one to tell what shot
has been played.
The law Of physics to the effect
that every action has an equal and
opposite reaction holds with the golf
swing. Thus, at the end of putt or
short clip the golfers position in
dicates that nothing but wrists and
forearms were used. In the case
of the nashie finish a bit Of bracing
indicates that a bit Of body was
tossed in. And at the finish of a
full swing we can be sure that the
full weight and swing effort were
employed because the left foot is
braced to catch the forward shift
OF weight and the club is up and
over the left shoulder.
These results are natural. They
indicate clearly what shot has been
played. Incorrect finishes prove
clearly that the swing was faulty.
Study these sketches and get q
mental picture of each finish so 1t
will help you in correcting your

as the number of city children of the

Farm work is largely to blame for
the country child's inequality of op-
portunity, not only because it inter-
feres with school attendance but be-
cause it is also the reason for the
shorter school term in the rural dis
tricts. The average rural school term
in 1924 was nearly seven weeks
shorter than the average city term. "
More than two-thirds of the farm
children in North Dakota, the survey
showed, were absent from school be-
cause of farm work. In the Colorado
beet-growing districts half the boys
and one-third of the girls were absent,
due to work, between three and four
school weeks. Children often work
surprisingly long hours in the fields,
the survey reveals.

is valuable training" is rejected
by the survey. Most of the work that

GOOD TASTE

At convention of merchants it was the consensus
of opinion that the taste of the American people has
improved greatly in recent years and is still growing
more discrimn ating Several speakers at the conven
ton gave most of the credit to newspapers magazines
the radio movies schools and museums and their edu
cational influence upon the general public.
Better taste among buyers imposes on manufac-
turers and merchants and their agents the solemn duty
of keeping pace both with their products and their
own powers of discrimination between what is in good
and what is in bad TASTE 1t behooves the retailer to
educate his sales force his advertising department and
himself.
Those who produce purvey the clothing house
hold furnishings books, music and art objects to the
public should come up to the popular standard, and
i they keep several jumps ahead of it both they
and the buying public will gain by it.
But there are representatives of all groups which
bear influence the public taste who do little
nothing to cultivate taste; themselves de-
porabe examples of lack of it. Nevertheless they exert
influence, undoing much of the good work accom-
plished by those who improve the public taste by i'm
proving their own. They account for of the re-
markably ugly but very fashionable things which still
find buyers.
Much of the bad taste shown comes from believing it
good taste to have immutabe tastes of having too
implicit faith in the tastes of others.
