gene Sarazen took the last open
golf championship seriously enough

now one Of the highest paid pro-
fessionals in the game. He won the
open championship seven years ago
at Chicago, the P. c.. A. title the

double success upset his youthful
balance and his game, for a time

Why has Hagen been so success

reason: the gallery: When Hagen

Every President departing from the
White House leaves, as kind of memo
rial, some excerpts from his public ad-
dresses that serve to indicate the trend
of his thoughts.
There are many such expressions from
the addresses of Washington, Lincoln.
Grant, Wilson and other Chief Exec
utives History has not yet made plain
which of the axioms pronounced by
Calvin Coolidge will be best remembered.
Among some of his most striking
sentences. however. are the following,
taken from his addresses over a long
.period of years:
Men do not make laws. They do
but discover them"
Don't hurry to legislate. Give ad-
ministration chance to catch up with
legislation"
Work is not curse: 1t is the pre-
.rogative of intelligence, the only means
Ito manhood, and the measure of civili-
'zation."
To-day it is not the battle fleet, but
the merchant marine which in the end
Twill determine the destiny of nations"
Money will not purchase character
lU good government"
Good government cannot be found
on the bargain counter"
WE need more of the Office desk
and less of the show window in politics"

While the inauguration of new
President invariably is accompanied by
numerous changes in the personnel of
high Government officialdom there is
one arm of the great Federal machine
which is unaffected by the vicissitudes
of political fortune.
That is the group of alert young
men in whose keeping is the personal
safety of the President and his family

Especially trained and selected for
this great responsibility, the secret serv-
ice agents watch over President after

matter of personal preference or in the
very rare event that the Chief Execu-
tive asks that some particular agent be
removed.
