weight being on the left foot at the
start of the stroke and shifted to the
right foot as the stroke is made.
While we are on the subject of foot
work, one of the commonest faults Of
the average player is that he plays
hat-footed. You must keep on your
toes at all times, with your knees
slightly bent If you are careful about
this point as we'll as about the proper
position of your feet in making the
forehand and backhand shots you will
soon learn to handle yourself instinc-
tiyely, but practice in the correct foot
work is very necessary. Nothing looks
clumsier on court than a person who
makes his strokes with the wrong foot
forward.
Finally, a point of the greatest i'm
portance is keeping your eye on the
ball. Your eye should be on 1t as your
opponent hits it, as it comes to you,
when your racquet strikes it and as you
follow through. Never look up just as
you make a stroke, either to place the
ball or to see where your opponent IS.
Keep your eye on the ball all the time
and you will soon learn that you are
able to direct your shots and see your
opponent at the same time.

Buried Treasure.

Though not in detail or environment
like the treasure hunts celebrated In
fiction, the search for the loot of an
unfortunate naval paymaster who yield
ed to temptation and took funds in
trusted to his charge has the flavor of
romance and adventure. 1t was con-

was not necessary to drop golden
beetle by string through the eye socket
of a skull nailed to tree limb and then
draw a circle and pace of a certain
measure Of distance-only to find that
the beetle had been put through the
wrong eye socket. There was no pacing
of of yards from a lightning-marked
oak or palm. None Of the treasure hunt
ers held in his hand for guidance a
crumpled, barely legible parchment
guide to the cache. All these classic
features of the true search for buried
gold were missing. The burier Of the
treasure was present-in person, as the
movie notices run. He pointed out the
spot where he had dug the hole. When
the first sound of spade striking solid
substance was heard he exclaimed,

"Innocent Franks"

The major and superintendent OF
police has issued the annual, time-hon-
ored order to the members OF the
metropolitan force regarding Halloween.
Innocent pranks" will be permitted,
but police officers are to be on the alert
to safeguard persons from annoyance
and insults and prevent damage to
property.
Mai. Pratt directed that the ringing
of doorbells, throwing Of -four, indis-
criminate use of annoying devices and
acts of rowdyism be prevented. 1t will
be realized by all that the police have
rather large job on their hands.
1t is suspected that there will be
many a doorbell rung on Halloween
without the interference of officers Of
the law. The combining of children to
innocent pranks" must rest, after all,
with the parents. The average father
or mother can do a great deal to make
children law-abiding at all times of the
year.
At this time in particular, lecture
on the rights of others, and property
rights in general may do great deal OF
good, not only in the saving of property,
but also to thoughtless boys who are
not by nature either mean or de-
structive.
A saving factor will be the Halloween
parties, which will take from the
streets thousands of young boys and
men who are just at the age when a
bit of savagery with their play is most
reliShed.

Oklahoma Is Trying
To Break Bad Habit

From the Tulsa Daily World
Oklahoma usually has too many
candidates for governor. But we find
we are not alone in this distinction.
A Minnesota paper remarks: '"There
are too many candidates in the field
for the Republican nomination for
governor. A large field Of candi-
dates for governor means diSsension,
and discussions never won an election.
No would-be candidate should be-
come candidate unless he is
reasonably certain majority of at
least the leaders Of his party are
friendly to his candidacy. This calls
for an unbiased survey of the State, but
such a canvass should precede an an
nouncement for governor" From this
we infer that the Republican party in
Minnesota finds itself in the same sort
Of position the Democratic party of
Oklahoma finds itself.
The number, and in many cases the
unf1tnesS, of candidates for governor
in the Democratic primaries in Okla
homa has long been a scandal. Some
have run through fiattery and to
weaken a strong candidate some have
run for notoriety, some just because the
Constitution OF the United States gives
them that privilege.
We are trying reform and Min
nesota and other States afflicted with
too many ambitious numskulls should
watch the experiment. We hope that
the run-off primary will prevent so
many snipers among the candidates.

figured imposingly in any fictional mar

Although there were no romantic &C
compartments to this treasure hunt, 1t
was not without its thrills. What If the
unfortunate officer were not telling the
truth about the cache of his loot? Sup
pose somebody had found it after his
burial of it? The mystery Of the hidden
lay upon the enterprise, and until the
box was unearthed and its contents
disclosed the adventure was keen one.
There is something irresistibly fasci-
mating about buried treasure, whatever
the amount, whatever the source, what
ever the circumstances of its interment.
The earth is a faithful holder of secrets.
Man uses it for his most cherished pos
sessions whenever danger threatens. In
time of war, when the enemy approaches
and fight is necessary, the peasants Of
the Old World, confident or at least
hopeful of eventual return and recovery,
dig holes for their most-prized posses
sions.
Banks invite the public to use their
vaults for the safe keeping Of funds.
Deposit boxes are provided, with every
possible precaution of security. They
are used more and more greatly as time
passes. But there remains in man the
instructive fondness of the primitive for
the earth as the custodian Of treasure.
There is nothing romantic about steel
door. There is no spirit of adventure in
turning a key in a lock. It is just too
safe to be interesting.

The Guggenheim Fund.

Striking evidence of the strides taken
by aviation in this country during the
past four years is furnished by the
announcement of the Daniel Guggen-
helm Fund for the Promotion of Aero
nautics that it has accomplished its
purposes and will end its activities at
the close of the present year. Founded
in 1926, the objects of Mr.. Guggen-
helms generous gift to the art of fly
ing were "to promote aeronautical edu-
cation throughout the country; to
assist in the extension of aeronautical
science: and to further the develop
ment of commercial aircraft, particu-
larry in its use as a regular means of
transportation" Completion of the
contest now under way to provide
awards for a "foolproof plane" capable
of being flown by the average person
with no special flying instruction, will
bring the Funds expenditures on be-
half of aviation close to the five-mil-
lion-dollar mark.
How we'll the Guggenheim Fund has
done its work for the American peo-
pie can be realized when the progress
Of these four short years has been
scanned. In its educational work the
Fund has made large grants to univer-
stiles for the establishment Of aeronau-
teal engineering schools, thus provid-
ing the young manhood of the country
with an opportunity to learn the science
of flying at an age which is eager to
grasp this knowledge. Before the end
of the year an airship institute will be
inaugurated at one of the Midwestern
colleges to take its place with those
created by the Fund at New York Uni
versity, the Massachusetts Institute Of
Technology and others.
In its second purpose, the extension
Of aeronautical science, the Fund has
likewise made proud record. Fog
is one of the greatest menaces facing
aviators today and until some method
can be devised to overcome 1t, flying
can never reach the standards of safety
that have been set for 1t. The Fund
secured one Of Americas foremost air.
men, Lieut.. James A. Doolittle, and
made him the chief of its fog-hying
laboratory in which experiments OF
notable success have been conducted.
The promotion of commercial aviation,
the third object Of the Fund, has
brought results probably far beyond
those expected by Mr.. Guggenheim. A
network of aerial transportation lines
now stretches from coast to coast and
from the Canadian border to Mexico,
BY rail and air it is now possible to
20 from New York to San Francisco
in forty-eight hours, and jumps Of
shorter distances can be made with an
amazing saving Of time and with high
degree Of safety.
The Fund has performed service OF
magnitude to the American people. To
Mr.. Guggenheim for his vision in pro-
viding for a great need of this country
and for his steadfast devotion to the
cause over a period of years, with both
time and money, should go the gratitude
of every citizen. The Fund has most
certainly accomplished its purposes
and In their accomplishment lies enor-
nous benefit to this and future gen
erations.

least semi-modernistic eyes. He would
have modelled German foreign policy
more in accordance with the trend OF
the times, but the spurred and he'll

successor, the Inflated Won Bethmann-

kaiserism straight to shipwreck and
ruin.
Prince Buelow relinquished Office on
July IA, 1909 but the actual date Of his
political demise was November II, 1908.
1t was on that day that ne UNDERTOOK
his fateful journey to Potsdam in the

While the Senate made the debenture
plan in modified form q part OF the
pending tariff bill, this piece OF leg1S-
lations has few supporters in the press.
Some comments uphold the suggestion
that it has been adopted as trading ma
terial in connection with tariff legisla-
ton. A few hold that 1t Is a logical
part Of tariff bill.
Considering the economic question,

emit Democratic) calls the scheme
sound only relatively to the protect
i've tariff" and "a matter OF balance"
That paper argues; IF q tax can be
put on imports to support an industry,
a bounty can be put on exports in sup
port of another. If the farmer has to
pay a fancy price for his supplies In
order that the manufacturer shall not
have to face foreign competition, there
is no reason why he should not be
compensated for his product when he
sells it abroad at the foreigners price,
according to his market. Which Is not
to say that the debenture plan Is sound

not So"
