PUTS
They're Important, Being
About Half of Game


Half OF the shots IN your golf are
played with a putter. consequently
IL Is hard TO over-emphasize the
necessity of good work on the
greens.
Calamity Jane. the famous Jones
putter, swings back with IN open
lace under pressure of the last three
fingers of Bobby's left hand. Walter
Hagen takes his back with the right
hand. using IN open face for Ions
puts and a closed face on shorter
ones. Horton Smith uses both hands
In taking the club back.
They differ In the way they hie
the ball, too. Jones hits with the
right hand. Hagen puts against tho
left hand. Smith hits with both.

Omission of Cotton, Alliss
And Boomer Proved
Costly

Following the victory OF the
American Ryder cup team over the
British, caustic criticism IS being
heaped upon the British Profession

Tbs criticism Is because the
British p. G. A. framed up some
silly rules which kept Percy Alliss.
Aubrey Boomer and young Henry
Cotton of the team.
There may be better British golf
ers than the trio mentioned. but
each Is 4 match for any player when
ne is on his game"
Cotton several times vas asked 10
join forces with the British team
but each time he refused because
they insisted that he come to this
country n a certain time and leave
at another specified time. The young
man figured this restriction to his
activities would cost him money. He
believes he has n good chance 10
wn the u. S. Open at Inverness
and ne wanted TO stick around.
The rule eliminating both Boom

employed at the st. Cloud Club in
the Paris district for several years.
Aliis has been associated with q

John de Forrest, amateur, Sur
rev. England"
This entry on the ~scoreboard
during the Golden Grapefruit open
at Hariingen aroused the curiosity
Of Valley fans. It seemed odd that
an English amateur should spend
time and money junketing around
the country with a field of crack
American professionals. He had
little chance TO defeat the u. s.
pros. and II ne did II meant Moth
ing in the way OF substantial
prizes.
De Forrest Belongs to an old and
wealthy English fnmily. Three years
ago he became bored with the life
Ct a gentleman of leisure. He want
ed TO get out and rub shoulders
with the world. John cut loose
from the family ties at ancient
Surrey and buried himself In Lon
don. The wealthy young man sold
his fancy plus fours for 50 shil-
lings. lived in a boarding house
ever a slaughter house and got a
job as a bus driver at three pounds
a week.
His staid family was shocked at
such conduct and "a anxious that
John resume his life as a gentle
man OF leisure. They argued with
him at length. but he insisted on
having something to keep his time
occupied. Finally a compromise was

Ricketts, is disease for which
we have three remedies-cod
liver oil, viosterol and sunlight.
They will both cure and prevent
the disease.
What Was Discovered
AS long ago as 1890 it was
shown that ricketts, did not oc-
cur in sunny climates-especi-
ally high attitudes. Neumann,
in 1909, observed that the
disease never was seen at Arosa.
Switzerland N740 metres), but
was common at DavoS with an
altitude Of 1850 meters. He
found also that the people of
AroSa were out doors much of
the time, while the people of
Davos led a crowded indoors
city life.
Soon after it was found that
r1cketS could be produced in ami
mails by keeping them in the
dark. A litter Of puppies, all
sucking the same mother, were
separated, some of them reared
in the dark. the others in the
sunlight. The amount of calci-
um in the body of those kept
in darkness was very much less
than the others.
A Great Aid
It was not until 1921, only 10
years ago, however, that the
sunlight treatment of ricketS in
human infants began to be
practiced. In that year Hess
and Unger demonstrated by tax
ing X-ray pictures Of the bones
Of rickety infants that exposure
to sunlight for a few hours a
day caused the return Of the
bones to normal,
That sunlight can produce
chemical changes in many ways
is we'll known-the processes Of
bleaching, photography, the
growth Of leaves and other phe-
nomena demonstrate 1t.
