Miller b. STEVENSON, veteran golfer of

retain his title over the stretch drive of
the last SO holes in the ANAL days play
of the District amateur championship
at Congressional today. Tied with Jhun

Shorey went into an early lead In the

first round. which Is exactly par for the
Congressional layout, but only ons shot
behind him was young Hunter and
STEVENSON, while two strokes back of
this pair was Charles w. Cole, jr.. of
Indian Spring. Shorey took rs for his
second round. while Stevenson and
Hunter did 7Ss to get in q tie with the
youthful Bannockburn and George

did rs to end only two strokes back
of the leaders. Harry G. Pitt of Manor
redeemed his bad IS over the morning

to finish with a four -Stroke deficit to
the three leaders, while Walter r. Nc
Callum of Washington shot two IT'S for
36-hole total of 1874. The champion
ship virtually lies between this sextet,

they play phenomenal golf today and
the leaders crumple.
The short holes took their toll at
Congressional yesterday, those difiicult
one-shot affairs. of which there are five
at Congressional reaching up to snag
all the leaders. Not one of them played
all the holes in par on both rounds,
while at least one of the six In front
was five above par for the 10 holes.
STEVENSON was playing his final SO
holes today with Cole, while Shorey was
paired with Hunter. Pitt and Mccall

Cut Backswing on
Brassie or Spoon
~
BY SOL METZGER.

Watch Bobby Jones or Johnny
Farrell or any other golfer the next
time you have an opportunity and
you'll find that all of them take a
longer backswing when driving than
when playing wood shot along the
fairway. At Winged Foot when Jones
won the United States open group
happened to be standing back OF
the ninth green when Jones nego-
tiated that hard par S affair in 3.
We saw him lay wood shot, his
second, within feet of the pin.
What club did he use?" some one
asked. The few pros standing there
replied in chorus. "A spoon" It's
not hard to tell what wood good
golfer uses without asking him.
He'll swing well past the horizontal
for a drive. But for a brassie or
spoon you'll see him stop at the
horizontal or before going back
that far.
That's one sure way of helping to
obtain accuracy on the fairways.
Don't swing as far back as when
driving. You must control this shot.
To do so you can't take a chance
in losing balance or In hitting too
hard. There is one other difference
in brassie and driver play.

TO those who are not strictly in
the swim at Indian Spring-rot
in the top flight of the golfng
L elite, so to speak--may we be
permitted to give the advice
that to be In the select nowadays at
the Four Corners Club one must be
able to play a new kind of golf? In
some quarters it might be called
monkey golf" or squirrel golf" but
to those of a more mundane DISPOSE
ton of mind 1t can go by its real name,
which is nothing more nor less than
tree golf"
To obtain admission to the select
group of those who have INDUCED in
this newest golf wrinkle. it is only nee
essary to contrive to hit a golf ball so
that 1t sticks in one of the few trees
that infest the Indian Spring course.
The social leaders in this new golf
ing blue blood are j. B. Heron and
DR.. z. r. Tilley. Both are full fiedged
both recommend it highly as a means
of decreasing waist girth. But 1t is
not so good for dispositions.
It seems that Heron sliced a ball
from the tee at the eleventh hole He
couldn't find it on the ground or in
one of the bunkers that are supposed
to catch a elise. So the next natural
thing was to look in one of the cedar
trees, and sure enough-there it was.
He took a swipe at it, and 1t failed to
come out of those branches which
clustered about the pellet with such
loving faith. He took another swipe
and failed to dislodge it. Another
wallop finally dropped it at the foot
of the tree, and he knocked it on the
green.
Tilley had his initiation into the new
society at the first hole, but his debut
in the lodge was somewhat different.
Tilley hooked a ball from the first tee
which wound up in the embrace of one
of those cedars that fringe the left side
of the fairway. But Tilley took no
conciliatory measures with his ball
He took a driver. where Heron took
an iron. and hit that ball lusty blow.
1T was good shot, too Tilley said,
although I did play it from over my
head. But the darned thing hit an
other tree in front and bounced back
100 yards behind the first tree. leaving
me almost as far away from the green
as when I first hit it."
We must draw veil over the sub
sequent proceedings. for they are too
painful to relate, but in any event Her

More Or Less True

You usually can tell how much a woman dreaded spinsterhood by looking at what she took to escape it.
 The only thing that weighs less than the clothes daughter wears is what father thinks of her going around with so little on.
 Homely girls use it to improve their looks and middle-aged ones to make them look younger, but nobody can explain why pretty girls use rouge.
 The reason many man is con- fident his wife would marry again if he checked out is because she never could be happy with no one around to find fault with.
 A lucky man is one who has a wife who hasn't the fool notion that the only reason he doesn't get more money is because he doesn't go to the boss and de. mand it.
 The woman who brags about how much she pays for her clothes has husband who is always growing about how hard it is getting his bills paid

NEW FUMIGANT FOR STORED
 PRODUCTS.

Ethylene oxide is a fumigant not hitherto used for exterminating insects. but recently dis covered by the United States Department of Az rculture to be highly toxic to certain species. Those commonly infesting stored food products. clothing. and furniture be easily killed by the vaDors of ethylene oxide in concentrations that can be used without danger from fire and that are not dangerous to human beings. Clothes moths, carpet beetles, rice weeyils, saw-toothed grain beetles, Indian meal moths red-legged ham beetles and flour beetles all succumbed to this new fumigant when it used experimentally for period of 20 hours in the proportion of 1 pound of ethylene oxide to 1000 cubic feet of space.
 For commercial Immigration work it is how ever, recommended that the fumgant be used at double this quantity per 1000 cubic feet of space. Comparative tests indicated that the vapors of ethylene oxide are somewhat mere toxic to stored products insects than those of carbon dsulhde and about thirty times toxic as those of carbon tetrachloride.
 Owing to it's low boiling point ethylene oxide is effective at comparatively low temperatures ranging from 60 degees to 75 degrees F. It has excellent powers of penetration. Insects buried in oyerstuned furniture, sealed in pack ages of cereae, and buried in jars of grain were killed with ease. No deleterous effect was no ticeable when the commercial dosage of the fumi- gant was used for 24 hours on commodities food stufs of various types, clothing furniture, and metals. Such foodstuffs nut meats and dried fruits were unaffected, and foreign taste ol odor was discernable after removal from the fumgaton chamber No liquid foods were treated.
 Preliminary tests in a vacuum fumigatior tank show that ethylene oxide can be success fully used for this type of fumgation.
 Seeds for planting purposes, however, should not be fumigated with ethyene oxide since the vapors seriously affect the germination Wheat used for the examination experiments

NO STRENGTH FOR DEMOCRATS IN
 PROHIBITION.

The pretense that Gov. Smiths position on Prohibition ruined the Democratic Party is absurd. Let suppose for instance that the Republican Party had declared for the modifica- ton of the Volstead Act and the Eighteenth Amendment and nominated Hoover and the Demo- crats had nominated a Prohibitionist and declared in favor of a continuation cf the Eighteenth Amendment and the Volstead Act and their rigid enforcement what would have been the effect? Does anyone question that the Republicans would have had two to one majority of the popular vote? New York would have given Hoover a million a miion-and-a half majority. The Democrats would have carried, probably, few of the Soutehrn States-they may have picked up few more electoral votes than they got, but their showing in the popular vote would have been far than it
 The Democratic Party may be a ruin, but Gov. Smith is not guilty If it should turn out not to be a ruin it will be through following the viral leadership that he gave it.
