FREE ADVICE
HELPED HELEN
Women's Champ Picked Up
Her Games From Her
Friends

Voluntary advice, the kind you
pick up nearly every time you 90 to
a golf course Of you go), helped
Helen Hicks along the road that
brought her to a national cham
pionship at 20.
When Helen was IA she began
playing. handling a golf club in much
the same wa she had gripped a
baseball bat in the kid games near
her home on Long Island. Jack
Mackie, Jr.. son of the pro at In
wood. advised her to use the Vardon
overlapping grip. The grip helped to
give Helen distance and accuracy on
her drives, so she practiced 1t.
The girl received another valuable
lesson from Mrs. c. d. Smithers in
the Women's Long Island champion
ship Of 1927. At the twelfth holc.
Helen, in a sand trap. picked pebbles
around her ball and threw them into
the lake. Mrs. Smithers called the
turn. and Helen spent some tirie
after that reading up on the rules Of
the game.
Sportslnanship
Marion Hollins gave her a les
son. too. During the summer Of 1923
Helen was playing in an important
match with the former national
champion. Helen was confronted
with the necessity of sinking a 10
foot putt 70 win the match. AS
Helen stood behind the ball, studying
the line Of the putt. Marion walked
ever to her side with these helpful
words:
Take 1t easy, kiddie. sink this
one and 1t will all be over" Helen
took courage. dropped the putt and
won.
the lesson she received from
Marion was one Of craftsmanship,
generosity to an opponent.
Glenna's Poise
She learned from watching the
imperturbable Glenna Collett not tc
become flustered by the gallery. Leg
Diegel taught her a valuable trick
in getting out OF the rough by hold
ing he hands higher on the club
Gene Sarazen corrected her stance
enabling her to pivot more easily
and gracefully and adding distance
70 her drives. Doc Willing taught
her never TO try 10 putt safely, bit
always to shoot for the cup.
Probably you can get more free
advice at a golf course than at any
other place-except a race track.
But a tip sometimes does help, at
that.

this is the utter inability of the best minds to predict what would happen in 1880. Another is fact that the steady recession of indus try has brought a wave of pes simism that clouds the real situa- tion.
 As the year ends the country's basic industries were the nearest to being motionless they have been In nearly 10 years. The steel in dustry was at the lowest rate of operation since 1921; automobile since 1922; oil since 1926; railroad since 1920; mining has been re- duced in all lines and the lumber business has shown a sharp de- cline. Commodities have been produced in abundance with corre- spending price reductions.
 WOrld-W Depression.
 The main difficulty is the fact that the depression has been worl wide. Leaders expect the United States to make the first re- coVery. Some of them already are looking forward to improvement earl yin 1931. Others predict a mid-year turn. A few hold off un- til autumn.
 The best description of the pres ent situation is given by the Ma tional City bank as follows:
 obviously this sort of thing has to come to an end sometime, and by the very nature of the circum- stances the turn IS likely to come at the time when to most people the outlook appears the blackest. Just as the basis of every depres- sion is laid in the preceding period nf ha hn nf prosperity is laid in the preceding period of depression"
 J. Barstow Smull, president of the Chamber of Commerce of the state of New York finds good in the fact that we have more than year of the depression behind us.
 Colonel Rupert Isham Randolps, president of the Chicago Associa- tion of Commerce said: Survey ing business prospects for the new year throughout the middle west. one is confronted with the com forting knowledge that the worst of the 1929-30 economic upheaval is past and that 1881 must bring a slow but certain improvement"
 Steel Industry Down.
 As the year drew to a close the steel industry, the country's basic cent of capacity. the first time such figure has been approached since 1921 when it was at 20 per cent.
 A survey of the steel industry in the Youngstown distrcit by James A. Rowan. financial editor of the Youngstown Telegram. points out that "ihc first snistan- tlal improvement in steel should

Their emphasis upon commercial aims, he declared, Is incompatible with the unpreju- diced service which both workers and employers have a right to ex- pect. MT Seiple further stated that attempts at governmental regula ton of fee-charging agencies have failed and that therefore the gov- ernment must go further and pro- vide an adequate system of public employment offices, largely under local direction but with national CO., operation"
 How those opposed to social in- surance find reasons for what they want to believe was brought out by I. M. Rubinow of Cincinnati, well known authority on social legisla- tion. Whereas the basic motive of opposition to workmen's accident compensation and unemployment insurance, he said. has been a fear of lessened profits. this is usually disguised with such slogans as Tt is better to prevent accidents than to compensate TOT them anu AIuei- ican workmen want jobs. not doles. Frequently, he added, special group interests have opposed social legis- lation that later in practice has been found advantageous to them.
 "As result of this confusion Of group interests and thinly disguised standardization" Dr Rubinow con- cluded. "even those large groups on whose behalf legislation is advocated become confused and tirnid. Hence the necessity of disinterested groups who may study the problem from the general welfare viewpoint ana devise social mechanisms without economic bias"
 John A. Lapp of Marquette Uni versity presided and John A. Fitch and l.. c. Lindeman of the New York School of Social Work also spoke.

are expected to be kept down by the tariff and reduced purchasing power.
 The trend in retail lines now is to give the benefit of the reduc- tions in wholesale prices to con- sumers. This had not been ac- complished entirely at this writing and drastic reductoins were ex- pected in the coming year Chain stores suffered less in the 1880 de- pression than other lines when comparisons were made with 1929. Their sales volume was very high, but profits were reduced by com modity price shrinkage.
 If other lines of activity pick up the railroads of the country will benefit. In this regard F. II. Aish- ton. president of the American Railway association. said: "The railroads look forward with cour- age to q stimulation in business activity, realizing that while con- ditions both as to traffic and earn ings have not been entirely satis- factory. that such conditions can not continue indefinitely When this stimulation does take place. they stand in readiness to meet promptly and efficiently such de- mands as may be made upon them for transportation facilities"

big business organizations have q sense of feeling that it will. My slogan, which I would like to have you call to the attention of the gen. eral public. is Buy all you can, buy wisely, and buy at home"
 John IT. Goss, general manager of the Scovill Manufacturing company, stated: "I am an optimst by nature. This county IS not going to the dogs by any means and we have been through too many periods of de- pression to be permanently affected. It is but a question of time as to when we will recover. Speaking for Scovills we hit bottom two months ago and are on an upward trend"
 Rodney Chase, advertising mapl- ger of the Chase Companies. Inc. speaking relative to the expected business recovery for 1881, said: We see no, reason to think that business won't be better in 1891 than it has been the year just cul- minated. Mir Chase explained that the increase would come very slow ly but, although not discernible. will manifest itself In time.

CHICAGO, Aug. 2. - When the
conversation gets around to SYM
toms and operations, the minister
who had five operations for stom-
ach ulcer in twelve years, besides
an earlier operation for appen-
dicitis, can more than hold his own.
This record is held by man whose
unusual history was just reported
to the American Medical Associa-
ton by DR.. George L. Davenport Of
this city.
When a young man of 20, this
patient was successfully operated on
for appendicitis. For four years he
continued perfectly well. Then he
began to lose weight, had pain and
other symptoms of stomach ulcers.
Since then he has been operated on
five times for perforated stomach
ulcer.
During the second operation, his
heart apparently stopped, but re-
commenced its action in response to
injection of the drug epinephrine.
After the fourth operation the
patient was give nup for dead, but
patient was given up for dead, but
fifth operation, which is the one
performed by DR.. Davenport. Others
were perfored by other physicians
in Chicago and in Cumberland, Md.
AT present. five months since the
last operation. the patient feels well
and has no trouble.
