MILLION DOLLAR

lars ninety=three cents was all
thai remained of the million-dpI
laf Brown and Stevens Bank and
subsidiary enterprises when the
final chapter of this super finan.
eial structure. built by the gen.
ins of the late e. c. Brown was
written in the post office build
ms here last Tuesday.
When word first came in 1925
that the colossal businesses of
the recognized financial leaders
OF the race We're in shaky posi-
ton, thousands of depositors and
stockholders prieked their ears in
amazement, The run that was
started on the bank was waved
aside by Mr.. Brown as "a mali

en- care of. Mr.. Brown. snugly
secure In the numerous apart

enterprises under his control in
Philadelphia, New York. and
Baltimore. felt that the run
would be soon squelched. He
guessed wrong. and soon an ava
lanehe of humanity swept down
or the bank. demanding their life
savings. This run compelled the
bank to close its doors. impaired
the credit of the entire organi-
2ation and brought the whole
tfing gathering down.
After the crash. NJ Brown

attempted a comeback by open-

great FOR him TO stand
Tie was At Dne Time the larg-
est colored taxpayer in New York
city. The Payton apartments
were sold for $1,300,000. This
was the third largest apartment
in New York. The apartments
were valued at 100000, and the
salaries alone cost Mr.. Brown
100000 annually. The loss of
these apartments followed the
loss of the theatrical enterprises.
Counsel Fees
The same procedure that is now
eating up the resources of the
National Benefit Life Insurance
Company in receiverships is also
devonring the resources of the
Brown and Stevens enterprises.
The final accounts filed last
week showed debts of $40,568.-

balance on hand of $105.93. or
this last amount the counsel de-
manded 800 in counsel fees.

of the million-dollar financial

parallels in the lives of Herman

The only man who ever held the
American amateur and open champion
ship and British amateur and open
championship In one year.
~ NE of the reasons that golf Is
1 a difficult game to teach or to
Y ! learn is because both teachers
and pupils are likely to lose
sight ybf the fact that the swing Is a
whole thing, rather than number Of
parts For the sake Of convenience. It
Is helpful in discussing the swing, to
break it down into segments Of its arc
or into functions Of the various parts Of
the body. But behind everything there
must always be the knowledge that no
segment or function can be altered in
any degree without making CORES
ponding change in that which precedes
or follows.
Certain fundamentals there are,
which have been observed in the swings
Of sufficient number of experts, to
cause them to be accepted as correct.
These are important and necessary
But 1t would not do for Jim Jones to
attempt to teach. Sam Brown to per-
form every single movement just as
Jim Jones does. Regarding the funda-
mentals as of as much Importance as
they unquestionably are. there is still
latitude for individual expression or in
depreciation.
IN teaching or learning the game, both
i instructor and pupil should first
gain complete agreement that
their common goal is thorough
understanding of the sequence of move
ments which will bring about the proper
set of conditions at impact. This. after
all. is all that matters. Fundamentals
should be amply stressed, and definitely
understood and applied, but things that
are not fundamental but merely man
nerisms should be recognized as such.
It is in these that the pupil may be
allowed to indulge his own preferences,
or, If you like, express his individuality
The teacher who attempts to prescribe
complete swing, mannerisms and nom
essentials included, does more harm
than good, and the mass of informa-
ton he tries to impart only confuses.
The pupil should not be asked to dis
criminate, to avoid fixing upon some
detail as important which in reality
amounts to little.
n s an illustration, take the case Of
"A a rank beginner, who does not
even know how to grip the club
How should he be taught to hold it
properly. Should his hands be merely
placed for him in certain exact posi-
