But the fairways are thick and fairly
heavy. That grass will not be 30
heavy in August and you can look for
him to park tee shots on the fourth,
sixth and possibly the seventeenth
before the Summer wanes. He Is hark-
ing back to 1926 nowadays, when Ro-
land was Just about the longest hitter
Of golf ball in captivity; when he
had the British dropping their chins
as he propelled the sphere to points
they never had seen reached before in
the Walker Cup matches or any other
time. AS for the par 5 holes at Con-

the par 5 NTH hole with q drive and
a msshie; the eighth with q drive and
a No. 4 iron. depending on the wind;
and the par thirteenth (the church

done by Sandy Armour. Roland Is
longer than sandy. and given the
same conditions he might play II
some day with drive and q niblick.
The hole measures about $40 yards In
length.
Yes, before Summer ends Roland Is
going TO push a golf ball TO places no
one ever has dreamed the ball could
be driven. And we shouldn't be O bit
surprised II he gets around the course
IN IS or better before Fall. He has
had four SIS over the last three weeks
scores which have been ruined (if
SO can be ruined) by bad hole or
two. Some day soon he Ia going to
get the ball rolling for him, eliminate
the bad hole or two, and waltz around
in 65-perhaps better. He can do IL.
ALI you have to do to score nowadays
Ia to hit the ball tremendous dis
tance and putt fairly well. The iron
shots which used to be so large . part
OF the game. and which still are when
the ground Is slow. are not so impor-

still pay Of on the accurate iron shot,

But one sees men whose
wives have done everything for
them? One does, indeed. One
also sees jelly beans, cup GUS
tards, wet worms and other
spineless messes. But the gent
who allows the Dear Little Wom-
an to do that to him certainly
shouldn't boast about it. Nor
should the Dear Little Woman,
unless she's completely cuckoo,
desire to claim credit.
No man with a Smitch of
spunk or self-respect willingly
hands his life over to his wife
to mold, however much he may
love or admire her.
She may be both brighter
and better than he is, and he
may frankly admit it. She may
be able to do much more for
him than he could do for him
self.
Ess HE
WANTS TO DO HIS OWN
TINKERING ON HIMSELF.
The desire to Be Himself and
develop his own life is the
deepest and most sacred i'm.
pulse in every human being. 1t
is the thing which makes him
a man instead of a turnip.
And any wise wife, who really
loves her husband, will respect
that desire. She would prefer
to have him MAKE HIMSELF
into an honest ditch digger
rather than permit her to mold
him into A MASTER MIND
even if she we're able.
HANDS OFF
There's nothing more danger
Gus in our modern world, or
more menacing to the home,
than this feminist notion that
successful men get that way
because of some woman. And

some big, hairy, two-flSted male
admitting it's so.
For the woman who believes
she has Made Her Man, invar-
iabIy despises him because he
let her. And the man who ad-
mits she did, hates her because
of it. God made men to be
men and women to keep
hands off.
All of which will make a lot
of ladies mad enough to eat
woody worms. But it's the
truth, girls-and some day, if
we keep on meddling where we
don't belong, we're going to he
mighty sorry that it is. So why
pick on me, just because I

In short, a sort OF praln-truSG
all by himself.
In March, 1859, he was put
at the head of the finances of
France with unlimited power to
do whatever he pleased, pro-
vided he got His Majesty's king
dom out of its desperate diff
culties.
This appointment was made
at the suggestion of the Kings
mistress, Madame de Pompa-
dour. The dear lady was not
famous for her morals. But she
had a good brain. If she and
de Silhouette had been given
free rein, they might, between
them, have saved France from
the Revolution.
But, of course, the poor New
Dealer could accomplish abSo-
lutely nothing unless first of
all he tackled the problem of
the privileged classes. He did
his best. He tried to reduce
the pensions of all the hangers
on of the court. He proposed to
tax the lands of the mobiles.
He suggested that everybody
spend just about half of what
he had done thus far, and that
there be an end to the WaStetul
luxury of a court which bene'
fitted nobody but the Versailles
pastry cooks, the Paris jewelers.,
and the light ladies of both
cities.
ION THE CHEAP"
The idea struck the court as
something so unusually funny
that all of fashionable society
began to do things "a Ia Silhou-
ette," which was a polite way
for doing them "on the cheap"
Thus far, everybody had had
his portrait painted by a regu-
lar painter. But now, of course,
they could no longer afford to
do so, and they had their pic
lures cut out of piece of
black paper. They had it done
ION the cheap" or "a la Silhou-
ette."
And when the joke had lasted
long enough, they booted poor
Etienne de Silhouette out Of his
high office, and the good old
times came back right away,
and the New Deal went into
the discard, and Etienne de
Silhouette died as the forgotten
man, and Marie Antoinette and
her boy and girl friends had a
perfectly swell time, laughing
their pretty heads off over this
pedantic bore with his everlast-
ing howls about the coming dis
asters and calamities.
And then they all went to
Jail and made lovely little sill
houettes of each others pretty
little necks.
And then they had their
pretty little neckS cut off by
the guillotine.
And that is the story Of the
New Deal Of the year 1749 and
of Monsieur Etienne de Sill
houette.

made a man of him, I'd give
him to the first junk dealer.
Mind you, I'm all for hus'
bands loving and appreciating
their wives and being duly
grateful for their priceless
services.
But I do not believe that
any wife ever made a man"
out of her husband. And
cannot see why any self
respecting male should say she
did.
Marriage is a fine institution.
We can do much for each other
as husbands and wives. We
can help and encourage, COM
fort and strengthen each other.
But we cannot MAKE EACH
OTHER.

both before and after marriage.
We are individuals before we
face the altar, and we remain
individuals afterwards. And as
individuals we stand or fall by
our own efforts.
MUST BE TRUE
It is easy enough to see why
this must be true. Of what use
is my character unless it is my
own-based on my own strength
the result Of my own deci-
sions? OF no use-and utterly
unreliable.
One may make fairly success
full limitations of almost any,
thing else on earth except hu-
man being.
But the moment human be-
ing stops Being Himself and be-
comes a synthetic reproduction
Of someone else's state of mind,
that moment he's ready for the
discard.

Consequently, these strategists

We need centralized control Of Federal State and local

We need vastly increased Federal Secret Service.
We need simpler court procedure in criminal cases.
We need tightening up Of paroles and full publicity in

We need uniform narcotic law in all States in order to

We need check the traffic in firearms that criminal
cannot evade Suvan law by the simple process Of buying

We need widespread system Of fneerpntins, not only
to identify criminals but their victims.

rest depended upon his native or

shadow of his victim and reduce
it to the right proportions.

these fascinating shadow pic
