GOLF PRACTICE

DRACTICE in golf should be made
as interesting as possible II one
is to benefit by it. Merely hitting
the ball often becomes bOresOme In
deed, and In such a state little prog
ress is made. Bobby Jones over
comes this tendency of mere me-
chanical practice in iron play by
varying the distances, trajectories
and angles to the green. He used
the flag as the objective in such
tune-up sessions, for the irons are
employed fundamentally in playing
shots to the putting surface. Play
ing too long from one spot tends
to grow firing and the shots after
awhile more or less automatic. On
tee shots Jones mixes up the strokes
by using brassie or heavy iron at
intervals. While Jones generally
confines his practice shots to
smoothing out some kink in the
swing or TO remedy some other diff

opposite procedure, that of prac-
ticing shots he Is playing well.

tainly would start right after noon."
"Hum" grunted Johnny Chuck,
and that was all Sammy could get
out OF him. Now Johnny knew that
there was no other time of day or
night when so few are out and
about as during the middle, the hot
test part, of the day. The more he
thought ii over the better Sammy's
idea seemed. And so it came about
that at noon of that very day
Johnny Chuck started back for the
old home In the far corner of the
Old Orchard.
Now, though he didn't know ii,
Sammy Jay was watching TO see If
he would go, and Sammy followed
along behind, taking care not to
show himself. Sammy's eyes twin
kled as he watched Johnny limp
along, stopping every few steps to
pant or to get just a bit of clover.
The fact is, Sammy was keeping
watch, and had the least sign of
danger appeared he would have
warned Johnny Chuck instantly.
But no danger did appear, and
slowly Johnny Chuck made his way
toward the far corner of the Old Or
chard. AS he drew near he began
TO wonder what Polly Chuck would
say. Would she be glad to see
him back? A little distance away
he sat up and watched the entrance
to his home. he wished Polly would
come out. Perhaps If she did and
saw him she would speak first. That
would make it easier. Somehow,
now that he was almost there he
hated to go the rest of the way. 1t
was too much like giving in.
Johnny's obstinacy was beginning
to rise again.
And just then Sammy Jay screamed.
He screamed just as he does when
he sees Reddy Fox creeping up on
someone. Johnny forgot that he
was stiff and lame and sore. He for
got everything but that there just
before him was home and safety. He

The Hwang Ho is one of the most

Its disastrous flooding has cost the
Chinese millions of lives and mil

because Of this ii has earned such

Chinese literature confirms the fact
that here the earlier Sons OF Han
1000 years ago were using sheep
skin and oxhide RATS identical with
those which one finds in use today.
There are two types of RATS. one
using as buoys inflated sheepskins
and the other large oxhides which
are stuffed with wool and then tied
up to keep them water-tight. The
sheepskin RATS vary in size. ac-
cording TO the use for which they
are intended. ranging from as few
as u or 10 skins on the small one

large freight RATS. For the large
oxhide RATS some 40 hides are
used.

That platform does not undertake

our church does not mix in poll

great principles for which we

"Our General Assembly fOrmu-

our General Assembly has been

THE VALUE OF GOLD

1t is noteworthy that the first changes IN the
daily price of gold at which the government VIII
buv that newly mined metal were upward and II
is conceivable that this tendency will be continued
The price of gold constantly changes when coun-
try is off the gold standard unless it is stabilized
by foreign exchange operations. 1t is determined,
of course, by the amount of paper money required
to purchase fixed amount of gold.
When the United States left gold in March, the
price of gold as shown by the quotations of francs
in dollars, began to change daily. Hence the re-
cent policy of announcing daily Treasury price
fod gold merely recognized a situation which ex-
listed in fact but not in theory while the old price
of $2O.67 a fine ounce was on the statute books.
As long as producers of gold could obtain only
S2O.67 for it from the Treasury and could not le-
galy sell it elsewhere in this country, they natural
ly sold it abroad, where the price much higher
in terms of dollars, as soon as permitted to do 50.

States.
The price of gold first set in 1892, by act
of Congress in pursuance of Alexander Hamilton's
report to Congress coinage in 1891 At that
time foreign coins were the recognized standard cf
value in the new country. Hamilton's report ac-
cepted the existing ratio in price between gold and
silver bullion, approximately Is to l. The content
of the silver dollar made about the same as
that of the Spanish silver dollar in general crcu-
ation. The ratio of Is to l then enabled the con-
tent of the gold dollar to be fixed. 1t was 81
grains of gold, of which PATS grains were pure
gold and 225 grains were alloy-The Charlotte
