INSTALLMENT II.
THE boys had their first days lunch anoat.
since 1t was all prepared for them, and then
when the afternoon sun had made them uncom-
fortably hot, they stripped OF their clothing
and aiternated between handling the boat and
diving Of its gunwale into the water for al
invigorating swim. Late in the afternoon the
breeze died. and by sunset they decided that
they had had enough for one day. They had
no way Of telling how great distance they had
covered, but they had passed no towns along
the shore. which had been heavily wooded for
most of It's length.
As dusk fell they used the last puffs Of the
dying breeze to 60 In close to land finally
dropping anchor q hundred yards from the
shore line. Then. after taking precaution to
put ON their lights. they climbed into the
roaring nre from driftwood that they gathered
and had hot meal, which was greatly appre-
ciated after the days activities.
Then being 50 sleepy that they could scarcely
stay awake, they climbed back into the dinghy
and returned to the boat. Ten minutes later
their blankets were spread on the two narrow
hunks in the little cabin, and all was quiet
aboard the Sliddoo except for an occasional
hearty Snore.
fver
Ted, as he threw aside his blanket. suddenly
uttered howl Of pain.
Gosh, I'm stiff;" he exclaimed. "That
hunks as hard as concrete If sleep on that
every night Of this voyage, I'm going to be
nothing but one big bruise from head to fool"
IT didn't sleep so well myself" replied Harry.
Funny, but the motion Of the boat bothered
me, even though 1t was so calm. I think
after this we'd better take our blankets ashore
and sleep on the beach. Sand couldn't pos
sibly be as hard as those hunks, and at least 1t
viii stay in the same place for few seconds
at time"
They went ashore, started another fire, and
had coffee with their breakfast. The morning
was still young when they were on their way
again. But this morning sailing wasn't quite
so easy, for the sky was partly cloudy, and
sharp gusts Of wind made 1t necessary to keep
a steady hand on the tiller and a watchful eye
ON the BOOM which had a way of swinging
about, in Harry's words, "as though its only
purpose In life was to knock your block Of"
But the days voyage was uneventful. During
the afternoon they came to the town of Lake
vile, and turned into its tiny harbor for
friendly call. They now knew how far they
had come and, while AZ miles in almost two
days sailing wasn't very rapid moving, they
assured themselves that they were out for
good "loaf' and not for any travel record.
After an hour spent in taking in the very
meager sights Of Lakeville, they put back to
Sea-" They now began to think Of supper,
and Of the night to come. Remembering the
hardness Of the hunks, they sailed along close
to shore, eager to find some sort of shelter for
the boat so they might sleep on land. The
breeze was still brisk and they had too little

to exert behind the club. This
encourages an excessive crouch or
bend-over OF the body and tends
to make the player dive forward
in an effort to reach the ball on
the downward swing-in other
words, it initiates against the
proper body balance.
AS regards standing too far in
front. of the ball, Cor, in other
words, with the ball too far be-
hind the left footl, this is an
equally insidiolls error which the
beginner should avoid, since it is
likely to cause the player to
make contact with the ball be-
fore the clubhead has reached
the. base of its arc. When this
happens the ball win almost as
suredly be half-topped or smoth-
cred.
In the matter of the placing
Of the feet (more commonly
known as the stance), I favor a
position which the feet are al
most square to the ball, but I do
not assert that the square stance
suits everybody. It is a matter
of physique and build. Within
certain well-defined limits the
novice may adopt that position
which he feels the most CON-
Portable.

The truth Is that the stance
controls tosa very large degree the
subsequent movement Of the body
and arms so that, If the stance is
incorrect, the swing itself will be
incorrect.

MARY AsToR AT THE STRAND

Underworld films often have erred in over er-accentuating the drama too heavily for the average theatergoer. Mary Astor, however, has kept away from this evil in her former pictures Of the submerged tenth, Dressed to kill' and "Ro- nance of the Underworld" and in her latest vehicle. New Years Eve" the love interest and comedy phases of the story have been fully treated.
 "New Years Eve" which had it's local premier yesterday at the strand theater. is a lively and diverting tale of tenement Cinderella and her search for a suitable Prince. The search leads her through d net work of complications in which dramatic and comedy moments have been cleverly alternated This in turn has resulted in increasing the popular appeal of the picture. and in making it thoroughly worthwhile entertainment
 Miss Astor's performance in a difficult role again demonstrates that she has extraordinary histrionic ability as well as beauty For years she seemed doomed to play statu- esque parts. but of late her really fine acting talents have come to the fore, and her work in the new film Is a revelation.
 Charles Morton. the rising young Fox star. does some Of the best playing of his brief but brilliant career as the youthful millionaire, who becomes a santa Claus with unexpected consequences. Earle FoXc is convincingly villainous as the gambler. and two youngsters, Freddie Frederick and Jane La Verne almost succeed in stealing the picture.
 The vaudeville program offers five good acts with the Alexander Mil ford Trio in athletic fcats: Those Three Fcllers in New Songs at the Piano.; ONei and Manners in '"The Gas Bill": Ben Marks and Ethel in "Just Blinl'; and Ed Janis Revue in new styles in songs and dances.
 Beginning Sunday for run Of four days only the Strand will offer the sensational film story Children Of the Ritz with Jack Mulhall and Dorothy Mackaill. II is tale Of flaming daughters Of today and a startling revelation Of the younger generation.
