HARD LUCK
GOLFER
BY HORTON SMITH

The recent United States open
championship over the Inter
lachen course at Minneapolis con-
firmed the strong impression that
Macdonald Smith, after 20 years
Of big-time golf, is still one Of the
games ablest masters.
Think of it: Mac" was bril-
liant in both the British and
American opens this year, only
the super-play of Bobby Jones
shading him in each of COLTS most
keenly competitive tests!
Smith, though now a veteran. is
the youngest member of golf's
most skilled family. his three
brothers all being truly great
players. Alex, the eldest, who
died a short time ago, was the
most famous of the quartet. Will
Smith, who passed away in 1917,
was also a master, being the
pioneer of professional golf and
its champion in Mexico. George
M. Smith never attained the fame
of Alex, the prestige of viii, or
the great skill Of either, but he is
a mighty fine player and a most
competent professional, connected
at various times with many cluos,
| principally in California and Min.
nesota.

Though he entered many such
opens since, and frequently played
in admirable fashion, Mac" did
not threaten seriously until at
Minneapolis recently. He hsG a
chance to win when Jones fal,
tered slightly on his final round
with a IS after that amazing 6S
on the third. Smith cut Bobby s
lead five strokes with a two-un
der-par 20; but it would have
taken another extraordinary 66
to tie the Emperor" Mac
achieved second place with his
289.
Just as in the British open,
this Smith kept rather well up
with the "Jonesses" and came in
ahead of the rest of us Smiths.

Today Is the
Anniversary of
GEORGE O BIRTH

On Nov. q. 1878, Mary Ann Evans,
who. under the pseudonym Of George
Eliot, is generally recognized as the
foremost Of English women novelists,
was born at Arbury, in Warwickshire,
England, q carpenters daughter.
Though she received q fine cultural
education ct Arbury, it was not until
the family removed to Coventry that
George, then Il. grew intellectually.
She began her literary career by
translating q Life Of Jesus from the
German. and In 1851 became an edi-
tor Of the Westminster Review.
At about this time she made the
acquaintance Of George Henry Lewis,
with whom she subsequently lived as
a wife, though unmarried. It was he
who discovered her talent for fiction
al work and who encouraged her to
write novels.
Beginning In 1859 with Adam Bede,
she wrote with increasing success The
MIL on the Floss, Silas Mariner, Ro-
mola, Middlemarch and others. Most
Of the characters in her novels are
said to be taken from her own family
and neighbors in Arbury.

What Patriotism Really Is

In an Ohio town a group of patriotic citizens cele.
brated Armistice Day by tossing tear gas bombs inte
a chain grocery store that had failed to close its door:
in honor Of the holiday. After the affair was over, one
of the leaders in the mob remarked that he was yer,
sorry they had been obliged Ito impose patriotism OF
any American concern"
That remark contains a profound error which is worth
examining. For it SO happens that patriotism is one
of those things that can never. by any means. be "im-
posed" on anyone. If you are patriotic, it is because OF
something that wells up within you. No outside agency
can stuff it into you. You can't get it through threats
or compulsion.
is bound to feel just a little bit sorry for any grown
man whose mental processes are as childish as those
Of this ardent. patriotic Ohioan.

Safety in the Air

Figures issued by the commerce department shed in
teresting light on aviation accidents during the first six
months Of 1880.
They show that flying on regularly scheduled com.
mercial air lines is safer than ever before-safer, by
200 per cent, than last year, with only one fatal acct
dent for every 100000 miles flown. Yet in other types
of flying. crashes are increasing at an alarming rate.
The country IS fairly full Of young men who have
just gained their wings; and these young men, apparent
ly, are hitting the ground more frequently than might
be desired. The lesson for the average man seems to
be clear: do not go up in any plane except one ope-
rated by an established company on a regular route
with veteran pilots. shun the transformer, and don't
let your friends cajole you into going up with them.

Child Welfare
(Sentinel Butte Review

VSeNLneI BUCCe REVIEW
The ultimate object Of any plan or machinery Of
education is the individual child. What can be nobler
than promotion of child welfare? An exhaustive philo-
sophy on child welfare may even defeat itself. A child
needs love and sympathy. The patience of a teacher
works miracles in inspiration and ambition. Gladstone
said, lone example is worth a thousand arguments" It
Is commonly said If you want to get much advice on
how to bring up children, ask one who does not have any.
Having children of my own, I am now face to face with
something real and vital and can rejoice with success
full parents and sympathize with those who experience
trouble. We must proceed with educational machinery
that has potentially practical and effective influence
for the benefit of the child itself. Success of a system
in itself is secondary and often futile. The coordination
of parent and teacher forces will improve conditions for
child welfare.

The owner OF that telltale hand
Eerchlef was unknown to him. He
had no idea by whom or how that
clue OF the handkerchief had been
stolen. The weird and animal like
footprints that appeared every.
where the phantom creature OF
black moved remained unexplained.
He didn't ever know who Jane
Marsh really was. Her identity was
TO be revealed to us about an hour
later. and this revelation came as
a bombshell. He had told me he
knew who had taken the portiere
rope from my apartment. but he
only had a strong suspicion. He
didn't even have as much as a US
p1cion about the hypo needle and
the syringe that had been found In
DR.. Gray'S medicine kit.
The only thing Murphy had when
we entered the studio was a good
sized bunch. He happened to be
right. but this bunch was not based
on any facts or knowledge he had
discovered. I suppose it was based
purely on good. common sense. The
wonder to me is that all of us didn't
get the same bunch. but the events

DO YOUR OWN FACE.LIFTING


A face-lifting operation is often re-
sorted to by those who wish to con-
ceal the effects of age. In this type
of operation a portion of the skin
or underlying tissue Is removed near
the eyes, forehead, ears or jaws, and
the remaining skin is then drawn to-
gether. stretching it and smoothing
out any nearby wrinkles. The results
which can be achieved by beauty sur
geons are sometimes astounding, at
least, temporarily.
The chief defects in this face-lift-
ing operation lie in the facts that all
peoples skin does not react the same;
those who perform the operations are
not always skilful; and since the skin
Is not given more life by the opera
ton, the sagging and crows feet often
recur In time. Sometimes, also, the
effect is to give the face a strained,
drawn appearance, with the eyes
slanting upward ut the corners.
I do not say that a face-lifting
operation should never be resorted TO-,
but I do believe that it would be q
better plan for those with wrinkles to
try to tone up the skin and improve
the appearance by natural methods
which are much more permanent,
and the effect Is never strained, but
natural.
Almost anyone past middle age can
look much younger by applying q few
simple methods for improving the tone
Of the skin. developing the underlying,
muscles, and removing the surplus
fatty deposits. Wrinkles are formed
because Of regular creases where the
skin folds and shuts off the local
blood supply. The blood, too, with
the advancing years, does not seem
to be as nourishing to the skin, nor
does 1t remove the toxins of the It's
sues Is readily as they are formed.
Often, toxic deposits actually form
under the skin.
One who Is trying to do his own
face-lifting should first endeavor to
cleanse the blood stream of accumu-
lated impurities which may be clog
ging the circulation or poisoning the
tissues. Nothing is quite as effective
Tor this purpose as . short fruit juice
fast accompanied by drinking large
quantities Of water to flush out the
system. After about five days of
this regime q well balanced diet, rich

quired by the body. should be used.
During this time it is a good plan to
exercise the muscles Of the face and
neck, for there Is no method Of i'm
proving the circulation as well as BY
exercise. The muscles can also be
built up to produce a smoother out
line.
Another good method Of improving
the circulation is to apply hot appli-
cations to the skin morning and eve
ming after the exercises. This should
then be followed with an ice rub or
washing in very cold water. Wrinkles
can then be rubbed lengthwise with
a clean toothbrush which has been
dipped In sweet almond oil.

A GREWsOME REHEARSAL

Murphy was alone in the room.
The policeman who had guarded
the studio was gone.

room that were present when Dorm

Turkey
(The Carson PreSs)

In November great armies of majestic turkey birds,
patheticaly gobbling in protest at their fate, march up
to the chopping block. The demand for turkeys for
holiday dinner purposes is enormous and tends to grow.
II their cost could be reduced somewhat, they would be
used q great deal more for occasions other than holidays.
1t must have been one of the consultations of early
pioneer times that wild turkeys were abundant, and you
home q noble dinner. Today wild turkeys are scarce
In most regions and entirely exterminated in many.
Turkey raising was formerly considered rather difficult,
owing to various diseases to which these birds are SUBJ
ject. But modern agricultural science solves such prob
lens. and many growers are having excellent luck. The
American people cheer them on, and look forward eagerly
to Thanksgiving turkey.

Football on the Radio

The football fan no longer needs to be a hardy In
dividual. He no longer needs to shiver in rain-swept
bleachers or crouch in ~up-turned coat collar while an in
hosptable gale drives across the stadium. If the weather
Is unfavorabe-or even II 1t isn't-he can sit at home,
snug in his arm chair, turn on the radio and get the
whole game in comfort and ease.
However. he Is up against one drawback that does
not confront the man who actually goes to the game in
the flesh. He has to get his football through the medi-
UNI Of the radio announcer: and in all too many cases
this Is a severe and soul-racking trial. almost too
grievous to be borne.
Football radio announcers, as q general thing, seem
to fall into three classes: the deliberate. the excitable and
the downright dizzy. Each class, In its own way. leads
the football fan to much profanity.
The deliberate announcer Is a heavy cross to bear.
At q crucial moment in . tense game he will describe
things somewhat like this:
"McFinnigle gets the ball. He goes around the
right end. -. ONutty Is making interference for him.
-. Now Purdy +. :. no Ian unusually long pause)
49,. no. It's whortle. . whortle makes the tackle. . .
Whortle gets him. 80"
And then. Is an afterthousht, he remarks that the
ball carrier gained five yards on the play. Now all Of
this was happening with the attacking team needing one
yard to make q first down on the enemy's 1o-yard line,
and with two minutes left to play: but the important
news comes In last, and q bad last at that, while the
anxious fan writhes and twists and nearly has apoplexy
waiting for the leisurely announcer to get to the point.
But the excitable announcer is little better. He goes
like this:
There he goes! There he goes! He's going off
tackle! Oh! Oh! look at that boy run! Wow! He's
tearing around right end. behind marvellous interfer-
ence. lodging and fighting his way-hey, he's clear
nh. now they've caught hin-a beautiful tackle. simply
beautiful. . He gained . yard and q half"
Or else this announcer simply blows up and emits q
Wild whoop, indicating that something sensational has
happened-and does not get down to earth. to let the
radio listeners know just what 1t was, for a whole minute.
Under the heading. "doynrisht dizzy" come the most
obnoxious Of oil. This classification includes, first of
all. men who know nothing whatever about football but
who valiantly describe the game anyway. It includes
announcers who are smitten with their own alleged
capacity for humor. and give the fan his football through
. ponderous web Of fourth-rate wisecracks and SNUG GUT
Jaws It includes the men who describe the scenery, and
the "colorful spectacle" ad nauseam. It includes men
who seem to think that the best broadcast Is the wordiest.
Most Of them fall into one Of these three ~classifica-
tons. There are exceptions, Of course; but they are
few. II y . tough break for the fan.
