Golfers Bridgework Struck.

A MOTHER golfer was struck by a
~ club which knocked his
bridgework down his throat,
causing painful lacerations. A
fourth was trying some practice shots
with a pipe in his mouth and the
club handle crashed against the pipe,
knocking it into his mouth and
breaking off two teeth"
Then, Of course, there are lots of
cases of beaning. Caddies seem to be
beaned more often than players. A
Pennsylvania caddy sued for $4,000
because a sliced ball hit his head and
impaired his memory. A Kansas City
caddy collected $500 when a ball
blinded his right eye. An Illinois
caddy got only $1,050 for the same
thing. A Detroit caddy had his elbow
broken by a swinging club. A dubbed
brassy shot on the fairway broke the
rib of another Illinois youth.
Mr.. Newton winds up his testimony
with the following case history:
An inn provided Sleds for its guests
for coasting. A young lady guest took
one Of the sleds and while using 1t on
the inn property ran into a tree. She
sued the owner Of the inn for $25,000,
claiming that the steering gear of the
sled was defective and that she had
been permanently disfigured."
This is interesting, but sleds come
under the head of minor sports on
Mr.. Newton's list, all Winter pastimeS
being Jumped together and blamed
for per cent of the total number Of
accidents. Our bet had to do with
golf and hockey. I am forced to ad-
init that neither side has paid of yet
The person who bet on golf is
clamoring for his $40. Your corre-
spondent stoutly maintains that Mr..
Newton has not proved him wrong,
since the report failed to mention the
possibility of death and serious injury
in professional hockey. Your corre-
spondent is being impeached all over
the place as man without honor,
but he will stick to his guns and let
'em sue.

Il said. But probably it lasts an
appreciable time, perhaps
inches or so, maybe inches in the
case Of man who really puts power
INTO the stroke" So there you are.
All you have to do is to keep that
clubhead moving in the direction of
the hole for or 8 inches and YOU
can't miss hitting a straight ball"
How about the backswing and the
follow through and all the other
fetishes We have been taught?" we
asked him.
They all are good and they all are
part of the swing" he said. You
couldn't get any power into the swing
If you didn't take the club back in a
smooth line, and you couldn't keep
the club face at right angles to the
line Of flight if you didn't have some
follow-through. 1t wouldn't do to stop
the club at impact. for then you
wouldn't be keeping that straight line.
But. after all, the only things that
count are the position of the club
face at impact and the speed of the
club head as it goes through the ball
It's all perfectly simple, but it Is hard

Base Ball Leads in Accidents.

~ ASE BALL was surprise to us. It
n seems that the national game,
as played by amateurs, causes
ia per cent of the total number of
accidents in sports. Golf comes next
with IL per cent. Horseback riding
is tied with tennis and squash for
third, and foot ball and hockey (the
amateur brandt are way behind the
rest of the field.
Here is how Mr.. Newton sums up
the percentages:
Base ball-11.4.
Golf-11.
Tennis and squash-6.
Riding-6.
Gymnasium sports-6.
Basket balls.
Bowling-3.
Fishing-3.
The rest of the accidents are scat
tered among a wide variety OF
pastimes, including swimming, dane
ing, picknicking and pinning the
tail on the donkey. OF course, Mr.
Newton is talking about accidents,
not deaths. Hockey and foot ball
would be up near the top in death
list, though they would still rank
behind golf and base ball.
I don't know just what 1t is that
makes base ball so fraught with peril.
AS for golf, Mr.. Newton has lot OF
details about that. Here is a passage
from his report:
"a golfer was whiting ball to
see what was inside when the ball
exploded, emitting a powerful acid
which all but destroyed the sight OF
one eye.
Another golfer made such mighty
swing on the tee that he threw him
self to the turf with sufficient force
to break a leg.

all you have to do. That

straight hitting"
The guy who did the talking ought
to know all there is to know about
distance lambasting from the tee, for
while he was pro at the Indian Spring
Country Club he did more of it and
did it more consistently than any man
who ever has Smacked a golf ball
around Washington. He is J. Munro
Hunter, the tall Edinburgh Scot, who
came here from Milwaukee eight
years ago and promptly set the natives
on their ears with the potency of his
mighty Wallops from the tee.
There have been millions Of words
written and thousands Of hours spent
on one theory or another of the golf
swing, but when you sift it all down
1t simply comes down to these two
polnts-keeping the club head moving
fast along the projected line of flight"
SAID Hunter, who now is employed at
the Capitol, and probably will 60 back

along. If you don't cut the ball in
either direction and get fair amount
OF power into the swing, it has to 20

the ball at right angles to the line of
hight 1t simply has to go straight,
provided 1t continues in that straight

And how long does that straight
plane last?" we asked him.

buy AMERICAN
DECLARED bunk
Movement May Cut Eco.
nomic Throat of Nation,
Says Tariff Head.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
CHICAGO, January 31.-Robert
Lincoln O'Brien. Boston, chairman of
the United States Tariff Commission,
yesterday termed the "buy American"
movement a ''lot of bunk which, f
carried to extremes" would cut the
economic throat of the Nation.
He made his assertions in an address
before the Chicago Association Of
Commerce.
I'VE are building up such buy at
home sentiment that people are al
most beginning to think 1t is a moral
virtue to refuse anything made
abroad" he said. Sooner or later we
will reach the stage of hysteria that
we will probably find every little village
trying to set up local trade tariffs
against its neighborS.
"The biggest bunk today in our
economic picture is the rule which
makes it compulsory for American
governmental agencies to limit their
purchases on supplies and materials
for public improvements to products
made in this country. If private busi-
ness had to buy American products
always, it would soon drive many COM
panies out of business.
ut is safe to say that If asked. 80
per cent of our people want higher
tariff on some particular commodity.
As a consequence, all of our export
outlets are being stalled and check
mated.
IF a foreign country tries to sell
us, we charge that it is dumping its
products; If we dispose Of American
merchandise abroad we virtuously in
sist that we are selling. not dumping,
and that we are entitled to our share
of the business"
O'Brien referred to Gen. Hugh john
son, DR.. F. E. Townsend, proponent
Of an old-age pension, and Rev.
Charles Coughlin as typical of ex-:
tremists who find useful ammunition
in agitation to stop all foreign COM
merce. He did not elaborate this
statement.
For instance" O'Brien added, 'it is
the custom in this country to bewail
publicly any purchases of japanese
products. Yet Japan is our biggest
cotton buyer. For every dollar We
spend in Japan, the japanese spend
S160 here"

A RIDDLE IN RENTS

With the government, through several of its
agencies, turning landlord to its citizens in whole
sale fashion, it may be useful to point out few
facts about the landlord business which another
government agency has just brought to light.
AS our more constant readers will recall, these
columns last month charted the progress of gov
eminent housing, including those "low-cost" gov
eminent built and operated apartment houses which
the PWA Housing Division has in progress in
nine cities. These and the numerous other So
called slum-clearance projects which are to follow
are designed for occupancy by low-income groups.
Their rental, according to the Housing Division, will
average $3.50 per room per month
But now comes the Department of Commerce
with the results of rent survey in 81 cities. 1t
shows that the average tenant and remember
that the average includes tenants of high, low and
medium ncome-pays far less than the $3.50 at
which the "low-cost" government apartments will
be offered. He pays, to be exact, SO per cent less,
or $3.50 per room per month How low-income
tenants can pay 1910 per room per month more
than the average tenant now pays is problem
likely to confound our brightest economists to say
nothing of our low-incomers.
The survey also reveals another fact which the
government in its landlord role may find interest
ing if not embarrassing. This is the fact that 81
per cent of the 165 900 tenant families in the 81
cities surveyed were delinquent in their rent pay

CAPITAL PUNISHMENT

The people opposed to capital punishment a.
most invariably say it does not deter criminals.
The assertion is easy to make, but not so easy to
prove If the criminals themselves did not object
to the hangman's moose or the electric chair and
were accustomed to seek death rather than imprs
onment we might question its value deterrent
of crime. But on the other hand the death SEN
tence is about the only penalty that the notorious
criminal really objects to.
The fight in court is primarily to escape the
death penalty If convicted the plea before COVER
nors and pardon boards is to have the sentence
committed to life Imprisonment. Why? Because IN
the first place it is not punishment for such
fellows; furthermore, they know that in nine cases
out of ten they will by some hook or crook secure
their freedom before great while.
No man with any of the fine qualities of the
human spirit can look upon the death penalty for
crime with complacency. But whenever sympathy
is for those who kidnap children murder their
fellowmen with unprovoked elaboration rather
than for the innocent and defenseless victims of
these crimes that mans moral or mental processes
are badly out of joint. We say, show sympathy,
because common justice settled these questions
centuries ago and every mans better judgment
declares that capital felonies merits capital punish
ment.-N. C. Christian Advocate.
