 Distribution of Wealth
 Attorney General Rustgard's ad- dress dealt with the unequal dis tribution of wealth. He said in part:
 T want to avail myself of this opportunity to call your attession to at least one problem with which you will be called upon to deal, whether you like to deal with it or not, because it is going to force itself upon you.
 We, your elders, have tried to solve this problem and have failed
 T refer to the segregation of hu- manity into classes according to wealth or worldly possessions. It presents the most vexatious of all questions and has been at the bot tom of all social upheavals. In the struggle to abolish poverty, social institutions have frequently been overturned or revamped, but to no avail.
 One-Half Saves
 Tt is evident that if the savings from labor were evenly distributed among the laborers, there would be no need of bread lines even If work were discontinued for months or even years. But the fact is that about one-half of the wage work CTS has fair amount laid by, while the other half lives from hand to mouth.
 Nor can you judge mans bank account by his earning capacity. The fact is that some are so con- stituted they can save something no matter how little they earn. while others can never save any thing no matter how large their in- comes
 Spenders Make Trouble
 Tt is the very numerous class of reckless spenders that constitutes the problem before us.
 That many have become reduced to want without any known fault of their own is not to be denied, but their numerical proportion is so small, that for convenience sake they may be left out of considera- ton in this discussion.
 "The pivotal fact to be taken into consideration is. that apart from some unfortunate few, almost all men have. or have had, oppor- tunities to become capitalists to the extent of raising themselves from abject impecuniosity to fair de- gree of economic independence.
 Many Different Remedies
 "A great many different remedies have been suggested for the elim- nation of poverty.

THE SPORTLICHT
by GRANTLAND RICE
On Shorter. Shots.


TT is undoubtedly helpful to keep the
i feet closer together on the Shorter
pitches and chip shots. It is here
that one Is more likely to tighten up
and hurry the swing, and with the feet
fairly close together there is less chance
of hurry and Jabbing.
If one keeps the feet well apart there
Is a far greater tendency to stoop over
too much, and this ties up the back,
which also means the top Of the spine
and the neck.
Miss Wethered believes in settling
most of the weight below the waist and
leaving the upper part of the body
free to work with the swing. Jones
became a much better putter and a
much better short-game player, Just OF
the green, when he brought his heels
together for these more delicate opera
tons. There IS no demand on power
for short pitch, chip shot or putt.
This is merely a matter of smooth
stroking. Yet the majority of golfers,
on these short pitches or chip shots,
spread the feet well apart, stoop over
and thereby expand various muscles
into tautneSs that approaches a rub
Der band drawn out, all ready for the
sudden snap.
On these shorter shots only the
hands, wrists and aIIns need to be used.
The body must be kept in pliable shape,
for If it isn't the body tension win
spread at once to the hands and wrists,
causing them to perform sudden and
hurried antics that have no relation to
proper stroking. The main idea the
golfer must face is to put himself in
position to make the stroke easier and
simpler, without adding any extra COM
plications in the way Of stance and body
position.
