No Shortage Of Hickory.

There is no such thing as short
age of hickory shafts. Ample hickory
remains to take care of all the golfers
in this country were they to change
overnight from steel back to wood
But the plain facts of the situation
are covered in recent advances made
in the technique of manufacture OF
steel shafts and In their performance
in the hands of leading amateur and
professional golfers. Look the coun-
try over today and you will find few
champions playing wooden-shafted
golf clubs. AS the champions 60 so
go the buffers, on the correct theory
that If a champion can play with
steel so can the run of-the- mine
golfer.
There isn't any question in our
mind that a Well-hit shot off wood
has a better feel than the same we'll
hit shot off steel. The latter shot
feels mechanical, robot like, while the
sweetly hit shot off wood commune
Gates to the hitter something of the
splendid rhythm that makes the
brides sing for him again. But the
records indicate in no uncertain way
that championships are being won
with steel and not with wood.
It all dates back to the time some
13 or IA years ago when Allan Lard
of Chevy Chase, a former North and
South champion, began fooline
around in his laboratory with various
types of steel shafts for golf clubs
His first commercial shaft was a
crudely made Judged by present-day
standares), piece of work, constructed
somewhat like the mast of a modern
battleship, all lattice-work construc-
ton. 1t was followed by tapered
hollow tube of steel and then by steel
tubes covered with composition
sheaths. Today the steel shaft is a
real work of art, a precision affair in
every detail But there isn't any
doubt in our mind that the steel shaft
men have not yet arrived at the sweet
feel of hickory.
You can have your choice-steel or
wood. But there isn't any doubt that
the records and the championships
are going to steel, Notwithstanding
the men who stick to the hickory
idea. And it will go on and on.

When You Forget

When you forget something you have
cnly slightly learned, you pay no atten-
tion to your forgettery But the case
Is different when you forget something
that you know "as we'll as your own
name Many persons imagine there is
something wrong with their minds
when they are for the moment unable
to recall the name of a we'll known &C
quaintance. the title of a book, or per-
haps an often-called telephone number.
All can say is that if in such cases
something is wrong with the mind,
there are host of disabled minds in
this world.
It seems that this matter of recollec-
ton and non-reColleCtiOn is question
of temporary organization or disorgan-
ization Of memories. Names, telephone
numbers, books and the like are recalled
best in the situations in which they are
used. Normal situations mean normal
organization and ready recollection
Not always, but generally.
Suppose you have temporarily for
gotten the name of some person you
know very well. Start in with recol-
lection of the situation that is most
likely to be associated with that person.
This helps you to organize your mem
ories and assists in recollection.
Suppose you have forgotten a tele-
phone number. That is. a number that
you used to recall easily, but now find
yourself in the contrary situation. Go
to your phone as if you knew exactly
what number you were going to call. It
