Grazing on Roadside May
Cause Serious Accidents
toned Against Livestock Haz-
ard Along Highways

The State Highway department is
receiving numerous complaints
about cattle being permitted to
roam promiscuously on the high
ways. A highway bulletin urges
owners of live stock to keep their
animals confined or guarded so
that they will not be struck by cars
on the road
The bulletin points out that while
a stock owner may have valid
claim if an animal is struck by a
vehicle while the animal is being
driven lawfully along or across the
highway, the motorist in turn may
have a valid claim for damages in
case of a collision with animals
which are not lawfully on the road.
Strictly speaking, no one has a
right to permit live stock to feed
on the highway right-of-way. Road
officials, however, do not object to
live stock grazing along the high
way as long as they are guarded
so they will not interfere with traf-
fic or create a hazard.
Motorists also are cautioned to be
on guard when cattle are seen
along the roadsides. Even if circum-
stances are such that they might
have a claim for damages, it is bet
ter to avoid collision.

Commission Appointed by President
Hoover Last Fall Doing Eff

The National Advisory Commit
tee on Illiteracy was organized last
autumn by Secretary Wilbur, with
the approval of President Hoover.
1t has been making a survey of il
literacy in the United States and
has recently concluded an active
campaign in thirty-eight States to
reduce that illiteracy to the lowest
possible point before the coming of
the census takers.
This Committee, which expects
to operate through a series of years
until illiteracy is practically driven
from the land, is attempting to &C
complish it's purpose by marshalling
every available agency to partici-
pate in it's campaign. State and

up for the fight. Church organiza-
lions have been called upon to join
in 1t. The latest agencies asked to
participate are the several nation
al and State penitentiaries and re-
formatories.
Available statistics indicate that
4.6 per cent of the people through
out the country between the ages
of Is and "a are illiterate. There
are 1921 people in State and Fed
eral prisons in the United States
The percentage of illiteracy among
these prison inmates is 1917 per
cent, or more than twice that
among the general population. This
fact indicates that there is a rela-
ton between crime and illiteracy
There are grounds for belief that
overcoming the illiteracy may con-
tribute to the reformation of the
criminal. The committee believes
that it should be possible to elimi-
nate this illiteracay among those
who are in prison and that it's elm
ination might have a material eff
feet upon leading habitual Grimm
ais into better manner of life.
Ray Lyman Wilbur, secretary of
the Interior and Chairman of the
National Advisory Committee on
Iliteracy, has wrote Warden ]. j.
Sullivan, of the Minnesota State
Prison, Saltwater asking what is
being done toward overcoming il
literacy among it's inmates.
"Our practice of requiring illit-
crates to attend classes at the pri-
son school," Warden Sullivan re-
piled, while establishing a system
by no means perfect I consider it
successful and worthwhile. It is a
means of getting the illiterate in
terested in obtaining an education.
1t is my contention that one does
not fully appreciate the value of
education until he has become fair
ly we'll educated himself. What diff

The explosion" shot consists
Of hitting into the sand well be-
hind the ball, and relying on the
displacement Of sand between
your club and the ball to force
the latter out of the hazard. 1t
is this method which I most
emphatically recommend to the
beginner.
Never attempt to take the ball
cleanly, i. e., to skim the sand
with the head Of the club, except
perhaps when you are in a shall
low pot bunker and the green
is a considerable distance away
a shot which hardly comes within
the category Of ordinary bunker
play.
Cultivate the explosion" shot,
in preference to any other, as
being the safer method of re-
covery. The principle to be EN-.
ployed in the explosion" shot is,
regulate the distance you want
your ball to travel by the
amount of sand you take.

The Washington times., 1930-04-16

I have thought the matter
over very carefully. and I have
come to the conclusion that fail
ure can be traced to an incor-
rect stance, attempting to take
the ball too cleanly out of. the
sand, and lack Of courage and
concentration when making the
actual stroke.
In the matter Of stance I have
noticed that nearly every begin
ner is apt to stand too squarely
to the ball.
The secret of all successful
bunker shots lies i'm taking up
an open stance, for this en-
ables the player to hit 'acrOss
the baIl' and thus put plenty
Of cut on it. The ball must
be made to rise abruptly off
the face Of the club, and this
can be achieved more easily by

How often does a novice foozle

The ball and club-head are
often buried in the face Of the

Now, watch a professional play

stage to itself here tomorrow
when it will seek to resume its
winning ways at the expense of
Bucknell since the powerful
Georgetown team is playing in
Philadelphia, meeting Penn today
and Drexel tomorrow.
The Cards have been Smarting
under their skins ever since Har-
ward gave them that terrific lac
Ing last week. and now are ready
to take some of their spleen out
on the LewiSburg collegianS. Coach
Gagnon can send any Of his
pitchers to the hill, all being
sufficiently rested. It is likely
that Lou Hurley or Pete Mast,
diminutive Southpaw, will get the
call.
Should Georgetown success
fully overcome Penn today
they should run their con-
secutive winning streak to q
dozen games with Drexel t.
morrow. The latter played
here earlier in the season
and fell q comparative easy
victim to the HOyas by . :
score Of 10 to 3.
Three players who have adorned
the bench in all previous games
helped Georgetown to it's teuth
straight win over Bucknell yes
terday. Russell (Packy) White,
dependable southpaw, marked his
debut to the mound by tanning
ii and allowing eight well scat
tered hits. Jack Tierney got his
chance back Of the bat and
caught a nice game and also
banked out a solid walIcp in his
three trips to the plate.
Johnny Bozek was the third
new man to break into the line.
UP. He played right field and
got one hit. He made q elaring
error on ground ball, but later
came back with a fine running
one-hand catch to redeem him
self.
Capt. Ralph Mccarthy, Johnny
Dunn and. John Scalzi. the big
three Of the Hoyas, both on
offenSe and defense, again were
the moving factors in the tri
umph. Daring base-running by
Mccarthy provided one of the
features of the features Of the
otherwise drab game. Mac stole
three bases and also banged out
q pair Of hits. Dunn had a light
day in the field but smacked out
three clean singles, while Scalzi
who got only one hit, provided
the fielding feature with a shoe
string catch. n
Perhaps the most improved
player on the HOya nine
lately Is Phil Mooney. The
husky first sacker has taken
on new life lately since find.
ing his batting eye.
He is playing with confidence,
something he seemed to lack in
earlier games. AS q result of this
not only is his batting average
climbing steadily but his fielding
also Is improving by leaps and
bounds. He plays the bag the
way it should be played and
nothing coming down his way Is
too tough for him.
One Of the most pleasing fea.
lures Of the game was the speed
with which it was completed, the
game requiring just an hour and
