I believe more golfers would try the shot out of water If they weren't afraid of getting wet. The shot is simple and the golfer who can play 1t has a decided advan- tage over his opponent.
 The shot Is closely related to the shot out of sand. If the ball lies two or three inches in water 1t is a simple matter to get out. It will be easy to cut through the water for this depth without much chance of the club being defiected.
 As in a sand trap, one must have a firm grip on the club, Aim behind the ball just as in playing out of sand.

SAN FRANCISCO, Cal, Oct. 16. The sidelines have gone phhtl They've disappeared in foot ball under the new code of proced- ure adopted for 1883. It is para doxical that while ten yards from the sidelines the penalty of ra- stricted play stops, the field has also been widened
 The first impression of the new football rule that did away with the penalty of a sacrifice play" at the sidelines was that it would do, away with wasting . down
 Now it appears that it will be matter of new football strategy for the coaches and players, and will provide more spectacular ad- vances. It opens" the game up.
 It will mean, further that the run to get over the sidelines will be thing of the past.
 It is also indicated that the 10 yard strip along the sidelines will be an alley down which the ball carrier will be trying for gains all the time.
 Habits to Break
 For the new rules provides that any ball carrier brought to the ground closer than 10 yards to the sidelines is theoretically as much out of bounds as though he carr.2d the ball out. For if he is ground ed l yard from the actual side lines or g yards from the sidelines the ball is placed 10 yards in for the next play.
 Coaches who sat in the press box at Kezar Stadium here re- gently got a glimpse of the work ing of this rule when the Olym- pic Club played the Marines. They noticed that many times a player might have cut back in and taken a chance at getting few more yards and succeeded.
 They say that the old habit of going out of bounds so that the ball would not have to be put in play at the edge of the field as the old rules was going to be the hardest habit to break. For ex- perienced players have been so used to going over the sidelines to protect the next play that they forget they are safe enough if they remain inside the sideline trying for additional yardage, no matter how close to the side they are brought down.
 J Nc More Danger
 With veteran players, the use of the 10 yard alley" was admit ted by coaches who saw the rule under operation to be one of the hardest of habits to break. With the younger players who have worked under the same rules in the prep school they expect to have some trouble. It may take year of so of constant drilling

spend their time carving figures of animals, women and birds out of hardwood.
 All eke out bare existence un- til death or judgment of the French courts has been satisfied.
 Syndicate Aids Escapes
 Escape often has been pictured as almost impossible, because the colony is hemnled in by jungles infested with snakes and wild ami mals. However, within a year, more than 100 of the prisoners have fled, presumably through the connivance of a secret syndicate which has aided criminals to make their way through jungles or across the Caribbean to the West Indies.
 It is known, however, that a number of escaped men have per- ished in the dangerous jungles.

.SideIines Vmlish Under Ne,v Grid Rule, Making
 Gdme More Spectacular

to bring about an habitual accept ance of the new conditions.
 The sideline run has always been spectacular one, but the player was in danger of losing his team down if he was brought to earth too close to the sideline. It meant the sacrificing of a down on the first play in order to get the ball out 20 yards under the old rule. And even on occasions when a half back tried to get a few yards along with the out of bounds play, he sometimes was caught flat footed before he got out. AS a result, the back would slip around the end of his team more often for losses, or no gain. ai''e
 With the defensive team the po- tential tackler had the psychologi- cal edge because they were close to the line. On several historic occasions they did-whsn Harry" Cain of Alabama ran Il yards to the Banner lone touchdown against St. Mary's last year, and when "Bucky" O'Connor did about the same distance by cutting back cn Ernie Pinckert. who was run ming him to the sidelines in the U. s. C-Notre Dame game of 1880.
 Widens Field
 Under the new rules such plays will probably be more common-if the ball carriers remember. It means that the potential tackler can't expect to just force the op- posing back out of bounds. He will have to cover more territory and expect a cut back. The side line will mean nothing to a play CT who is trying to advance. It is apparent that football will provide a lot more spectacular play under the new rule than it did under the old one.

Wholesale escapes from Devils Island and other penal institutions in French Guina have focused the attention of the world again on the dry guilloline" so famed in tales of fact and fiction.
 Ever since Major Alfred Drey- fus languished through long, lone ly years, a victim of the amazing Count Esterhazy plot, on Devils Island, fantastic tales have been woven around this tiny spot, 27 miles off the French Guiana coast.
 It's Verdant, Not Bleak
 Many of them have been mis- leading. Devils Island is not an i, arid, -scorched rock nor is it an impenetrable jungle area. It is a verdant dot on the map dom- mated by groves of lofty coconut trees.
 It is one of three islands that make up the penal stations in French Guiana. The group is known as the Isles of Salvation" and include, besides Devils Island, the island of St. Joseph, with it's prison hospital, and the Isle of , Royale, with tiers of tiny stone cells for incorrigibles.
 Devils Island is reserved for po- Iitical prisoners who have been sentenced to life imprisonment. Life there is far less rigorous than as the other convict stations.
 Colony of Prisoners
 There are no dungeons, barred windows or high walls. The Tiff CTS" live in small cabins, wear their own clothing and are allow ed their own books and newspa- pers. Although only about 400 miles north of the equator, sea breezes ccol the atmosphere, mak- ing it more healthful than many settlements along the swamp fringad, jungle-clad mainland. Virtually the entire foreign pop ulation of French Guina is made I'D of men and women who have been convicted of crimes in the French courts. They are known as "lifers" and may be found in the coast towns and farming and mining regions of the interior.
 This is because culprits sent to French Guina for more than eight wears must remain for life. A man sentenced for lesser period must spend one year in the colony for each year of his sentence before he can return to France. Then ho or his family or friends must pay his way home or he, too, ends his days in the colony.
 aDevils Island itself is not over populated. In recent years there have at times been fewer than a dozen prisoners there. They are mostly spies. Three are aviators.
 All Glasses Represented
 All professions and trades are represented among the "liberes." On the streets of Cayenne, site of one of the colony's largest pris- ons. stroll former lawyers, doctors, engineers, artists and peasants, as well as former habitues of the slums of Paris and Marseille. Many are Sengalese, Arabs, Hindus, and lrdo-C Chinese.
 rThe "liberes" are free to WorK for wages. Some of them are in partnership with the natives; some operate small shops. Still others
