Yes. he certainly realizes that the
club head should be the center of the
picture, the object which catches the
mental eye, the physical eye being on
the ball. although around the edges of
the mental picture, blended into the
background, are such things as stance,
grip and follow through.
Now It's a Movie.
Having painted the picture of the
club head brightly in mind it is salts
flying to swing a wooden club with
might and confidence and hear the
sweet sound as the club head socks the
sphere. The mental picture then be-
comes movie, flashing $50 yards down
the fairway.
Having gone to such trouble to secure
the picture, it is a great and joyful
feeling when that bali starts hurriedly
from hither to yon. The only thing the
average golfer can't understand is why
the mental picture should flash to the
fairway, when there never is any action
there. The ball may travel $50 yards
toward hole $50 yards away, but after
the first 200 yards of that it almost
invariably lands in the rough, which
makes the last 100 yards the hardest.
Still, that would not affect the value
OF the idea to Pauline II a mental
picture enabled him to sock Schmeling
for couple Of hundred yards, he
wouldn't care whether Max lit in the
fairway or not.

M pitchers .i are +,6 up j., against
4 lation to the bleacher fans
Fans judge a pitcher almost
entirely by the number OF victories he
has pitched. But the true test Of a
moundsman's worth is his record for
runs actually earned, irrespective OF
whether or not the game was won by
his team. For some years there has
been a notion that any pitcher who
could win 80 games in season would
be paramount. Well, maybe he would
be. But unfortunately for this craving
of the fans and experts, that kind of
ball HEAVIER is not built any more. In
any case there is little satisfaction in
1t sometimes.
Mathewson Won 81.
The immortal Christy Mathewson
won 81 games in a season and his
team cid not even win a pennsnt for
him. That was in 1908 year long
and bitterly remembered by the New
York Giants. They were eased out
Of the championship that year on a
technical protest. Who does not re-
member the controversy? Did Merkle
touch second? Who cares!
This year two pitchers have a start
that might end in their winning 80
games. One is Burlefgh Grimes OF
Pittsburgh and the other George Uhle
Of Detroit 1t is unlikely, however
that either will come through with
such a record Nowadays base ball
managers use too many pitchers and
nurse along their good men too care
fully to give opportunity for spectacular
individual accomplishments.
However, Grimes is being called the
greatest pitcher of hte year. He was
in fact, not very far from being greatest
pitcher last year.
Hoyt Won't Be Crowded.
Lefty Grove of the Athletics is not
likely to win 80 games this year. He
probably won't get the opportunity to
do SO.
1t might be, however, that Connie
Mack, If hard pressed toward the end
of the season. will put him into many
games and thus give him a chance
Waite Hoyt of the Yankees will not
be crowded by his manager. Miller
Higgins. The Yankees are not blessed
with a surplus Of pitchers and each
man will have to be used with discrimi-
mating care.
A former manager of National
League team says there is not a major
! league pitcher today who has endur.
ance and skill enough to win 80 games
Base ball is reaping what 1t ha'
sown," was his comment. 1T Is train

A FRIEND OF THE SOLDIERS

Secretary of War James W. Good,
who has just passed away, will al
ways be remembered by the veterans
of the late war. He pushed the
move to raise the pay of private SOL
diers and sailors on overseas duty
from $3.50 a month to $50.
Said Mr.. Good, 'Let us not make
this rich mans war and a poor
mans fight" The payment for which
he asked was little enough, but it
was all that could have been gotten
through congress at that time. 1t
seemed a most unfair thing that the
soldiers should be paid such meag-
er sum at time when people at
home were earning such extrava-
gantly high pay.
Mr.. Goods position that the rich
and the poor should contribute
equally to the war sacrifice was the
only correct one, and if war ever
comes again, there must be no fav-
ored classes or elements in the way
the war burdens are distributed.

CHRISTMAS SEALS

One of the fine causes which peo-
pie everywhere should support, is
that of the sale of Christmas seals
for promotion of anti-tuberculosis
work. The disease against which
this work is aimed is a peril threat
ening all our homes.
This peril could be removed if all
the people could be trained to take
the necessary precautions against
it. But so long as there are any
homes and people that neglect these
precautions, then this subtitle con-
tagion may infect any of us. The
Christmas seals supply the money
by which knowledge of how to pre-
vent and stop this disease is dis
seminated throughout the country.

THE NEWSBOY'S BETTER
CHANCES

Roger Babson, famous statistician
recently made the statement that the
newsboys have better chance for
success than have college men. Mr..
Babson did not perhaps intend that
statement to be taken literally, yet
1t calls attention to a profound truth.
Boys who have the initiative to go
out and do some active line of work,
will accomplish more in the world
than many of the fellows who are
trying to make a success through
some form of influence not accom-
plished by their own efforts.
Newsboys are not the only young
sters who show initiative. Any boy
who sets out in determined way to
earn money to contribute to his own
support, or to obtain education,
shows qualities that are bound to
carry him a good way if he keeps
showing this spirit. If he is trying
to earn money simply so he can
spend it more freely, that is a diff
ferent thing.
1t is a fine thing for a boy to go
into athletics, and win a place on the
football or baseball or track team of
his school. He too is showing in
itiative, a disposition to get out of
the ordinary rut.
But there is this difference between
the young athlete and the young
money Garner. The latter has
keener conception of the main issues
of life. He sees farmer into the fu-
ture. The gains made on the football
field are helpful in many ways. But
much Of the power a boy gains in
such athletics is only side issue on
the main objects of life.
The enterprising money earning
boy who peddles newspapers, helps |
in stores, or does one of hundred |
things that live boys can do in Mil
ford and other Delaware towns, has
at his early age the serious
purposes that do not ordinarily in |
spire the boys until years later when
hey get married and have families
% support. Starting so early on the
path to success, the newsboy and
others like him have a superior
,hance to do well in the world.

MEETING THE WORLDS
DEMANDS

The success or failure of a COM
munity, business, or an individual,
depends on whether that community
or business or person is meeting the
demands the world makes on it. We
have to keep pace with the wants of
the world. Many people, many in
dustries, many towns, fail because
the things they produce are not what
the world wants.
There are many people who as
sumo that because the world wanted
something years ago, it is going to
keep on wanting it. So they keep
working in just the same way that
they used to. Meanwhile the world
has moved on.
Fashion is very whimsical thing.
Some product that may be perfectly
good, and just as well adapted to
peoples real needs as it ever was, is
turned down because it has gone out
of style. People regard it as &C.
centric and they won't use it, and the
people that make it must modify
their methods.
A modern business has to keep
closely in touch with scientific dis
covery or it will fail to keep up
with the times. The successful busi-
ness man needs to be a student of
technical science, or at least to have
men in his concern who follow
science closely, or he may miss some
change in the industrial world that
will affect him seriously. If he can
be among the first to use that |
change, then he has a chance for |
great gains.
Young people who study technical
Ind commercial papers relating to
heir business, will find that time
very profitable. The information
hus gained helps them to suggest
improvements. And it
makes them so intelligent on their
that they can talk about
t more effectively, and people have
nore confidence that they under
tand how to meet the demands that :
be world makes.

EACH ONES PERSONAL
CONTRIBUTION

There are four things that each
one of us can do to promote the de-
velopment of Milford, as follows:
First, work efficiently and energeti-
cally in our own occupation, so as
to help it on to success. Second, do
our share for the neatness and
beauty of our home city, by keeping
our home places in attractive con-
dition.
Third, speaking favorable words
for our home community every time
we have a chance. Fourth, becom-
ing intelligent about modern pro-
gressive measures and ideas that
may be suggested for our commun-
ity. When we learn about these
ideas, and talk about them with our
we help to create that
favorable state of sentiment that
makes progress possible.

THE BIG INCOMES

There were in 1927, 290 people who
had incomes of a million dollars a
year or over, according to a recent
report of the U. S. Treasury. People
who feel that wealth is too much
concentrated in a few hands will
complain about the dealth of these
persons. And yet If these incomes
were all divided up among the people
of the United States, there would
only be a few dollars for each per-
son.
If that were done, many philan-
thropies and educational institutions
which receive great benefits from
generous people of wealth, would be
crippled by the loss of the funds on
which they depend. The loss to the
whole people in this way would be
much greater than they could gain
from the division of these incomes.
If the incomes of these million
aires, and of wealthy people of all
grades, were divided up among the
mass Of the people, these wealthy
folks would lose the ability to pro-
mote the development of the indus
tries in which they are interested.
They would have no incentive to
keep working to push these indus
tries ahead. The prosperity of these
interests, and their ability to pay
good wages and employ more labor,
would decline, and we should all |
suffer.
Wealth can be handled in a way so
it will be blessing to the people,
and provide facilities and advantages
they would never get under a COM
munistic system. And it can be han
died in selfish way, so that the peo-
pie get a minimum of benefit from
it.
The wealthy people who take the
more generous view, create a great
many friends for themselves, and
they have the warm regard of the
community. These rewards should
be better than anything that the mere
possession and selfish enjoyment of ,
money can give. !

PASSING THE PLATE

President Hoover's church al
Washington is to dispense with the
custom of passing the plate at its
services. Some people who dislike
being asked to give money every
time they attend church services
will say that this is the kind OF
church they would like to attend
However, the action of the Washing
ton church is apparently not so
much due to general disapproval of
the practice, as to a feeling that
with the President in attendance,
passing the plate might seem too
much like an attempt to make mon
ey out of visitors who come to see
him.
The people who do not like to
have contribution boxes presented
to them, might state how they think
a church organization is to be sup
ported if that is not done.
1t takes a good deal of money to
run any kind of a church today. The
minister is entitled to a salary pro-
viding comfortable living and edu-
cation for his children. Janitors,
musicians, and dealers in supplies
have to be paid.
Church building repairs cost
great deal of money. Lights and fuel
are a considerable expense. Many in
cidentals have to be provided for. If
the churches are to provide services
and instruction good enough to at
tract people in these wide awake
times, they must be given large
sums of money.
These sums should be provided by
the people who attend them and
those who are interested in the
work that is done. Not many people
care to live in communities without
churches. If they expect to get the
benefits of these organizations, they
should be glad to contribute. The
most practical way to raise the
money is to pass the contribution
box in the old time way. People do
not have to give one cent more than
hey feel is their share or more than
hey can afford.

THE HOME CHRISTMAS TRADE

The merchants of Milford always
rise to the occasion presented by
the annual holiday trade, and it is
a pleasure to make the rounds of
their stores, and see what they have
assembled to please the people of
this neighborhood; especially Sus-
sex and lower Kent counties.
Our retail stores give anxious
thought to the question of Christ
mas trade for many weeks prior to
the holiday. They study the trade
newspapers most assiduously, they
confer with many statesmen, they
observe the trends of trade among
the wholesale dealers. They have a
clear idea as to the goods that will
be most popular this year, and they
also know from long experience
what our people want.
They have done their full part
and shown a fine spirit Of enterprise
by putting in more complete stocks
of goods than ever before. They are
determined to make this community
as good trading center as can be
found in Delaware, or any of it's
neighbors. If the people of Milford
can't satisfy their holiday and win
ter needs in these stores, it will be
hard to find place where they can.
And as the expense Of conducting
retail trade is low compared with
large cities, our people can easily go
further and fare worse.

THE CANNING CHAMPS

A lady from Kennan, Wisconsin,
wins the national canning contest,
and it is noted that she preserves
annually from 600 to 300 quarts of
food for her home. Any woman or
girl who has acquired that art is a
tremendous help to her family. The
sun Of prosperity will shine on that
home. The good vegetables and
fruits stored away on the pantry
shelves will bring up a family of
strong and husky young people.
The majority of men would feel
safer with wife of that kind, than
with one who is eligible to COM
pete in a beauty contest. The old
saying that handsome is that hand
some does" is not yet obsolete.

ARE WE RESPONSIBLE?

President Derry, of Margrove Col
lege of Detroit, complained in a re-
cent address of college professors
who seem to deny that people are
responsible for their acts. His lee
ture was a protest against certain
type of intellectual people, who feel
that we live in a mechanical uni
verse, where the conduct of our
lives is predestined for us by the in
heritances that have been handed
down to us, and the environment by
which we are surrounded.
There appears to be a large num-
ber of highly educated people, who
feel that there is no such thing as
freedom of choice, and that our des-
TIMES are shaped for us by the forces
around us or that went before us.
The world should not take this
doctrine too seriously. 1t goes
against ordinary common sense. We
know it when we have done wrong,
and our conscious disapproves, and
we know it when we have done right,
and our inner counsellor tells us so.
The world will deteriorate rapidly
if the conception of moral RESPONSE
bility should fade out of sight. If
we can lay all our selfishness onto
the shoulders of our progenitors or
on the influences that surround us,
no one has any motive for trying to
do better.
Ideas like these often prove fash
ionable for a time. But the world |
has always rejected such views i'll
the past, and it will again. We are
still in the period of reaction follow
ing the World War, when peoples !
ideals were lowered by the strain |
and despair created by that struggle.
But in due time some more lofty
sentiment will arise, that will tell
man that he is the maker of his own
fate, that he shapes his own life, and
that it is up to him to say whether
it will follow a lower level or rise to
a higher one.
