NEW C[UbSOUGHT
TO FOIL BAG LIMIT
Golf implement With More
Than One Loft Is Idea
of Hershey Pro.
BY FRANCIS J. POWERS.
OS ANGELES, Calf, January

30.-Henry Picard, the Hershey,
Pa, professional, has turned
- inventor for the time and will
experiment with an adjustable nibNc.
Among the clubs Picard will junk in
compliance with the U. s. G. A. limit
Of IA for championship play are two
niblics; one Of extreme loft and the
other heavy blade for work in the
rough.
II might not need my lofted niblic
for more than one or two shots in
a championship, but those shots might
mean a thousand dollars to me-" ex-
planned Picard. Many adjustable clubs
have been offered on the golf market,
but none was successful, since the
inventors attempted to cover the en-
tire range Of irons in the one weapon.
Picard's idea is to have an adjustable
niblic with one or two and not more
than three lofts.
U. 8. G. A. Might Complain.
OUCH a club would enable golfers
- technically to meet the require
ments Of the U. S. G. A. rule, al
though the golfing fathers might
complain that 1t was defeating the
true purpose of their amendment.
Horton Smith is Of the opinion that
the limiting Of clubs for championship
play will result in a new gradation of
implements by manufacturers. Prob
ably the loft irons will be changed 80
that eight will do the work OF the
present sets of 10. Woods also may
be reduced to three, giving the brassie
more loft or strengthening the larger
Of two spoons.
In reducing their armament in an
ticipation Of the national open cham
pionship, both Smith and Picard dis
carded left-handed iron. Most Of
the star professionals carried O left
handed club in their kits for use when
a ball lodged against a tree, fence
or other obstacle in such a way as
to prevent right-handed swing. Gen.
orally star was able to bat the ball
out with the left-handed club and
thereby avert a penalty stroke.
Tests TO Precede Club Cuts.
NONE Of the stars will 60 TO a
championship with only II clubs
available. They will take the full
complement of clubs and then deter
mine which ones to sacrifice after
playing few practice rounds. There
is nothing 50 ironclad about the
U. s. G. A. rule that players cannot
make changes in their artillery from
round to round, and the stars will
be able to meet changing conditions
with variation Of clubs.
The U. s. G. A. rule brought out
the interesting fact that Horton Smith
probably carried fewer clubs than al.
most any Of the journeyman profess
sionals. The Joplin Pine had only
II in his sack. including the left
handed iron. So his reductions were
fairly simple and consisted only Of
a No. 3 wood and a chipper besides
the leftie.

THE story of the vitamins In dog
nutrition is far from complete.
Just which vitamins are necessary
and what quantities is anybody's

cal house that isn't taking any
chances, however. 1t puts out a
preparation for animal nutrition
called Vita King which seems to be
labeled by the whole alphabet. Those
who have used the preparation report
very favorably on it. So maybe they
are right not to leave out any, or. at

A LITTLE beef suet is appreciated

This Is particularly true of kennel and

which the dog burns up In trying to

A SLIGHTLY different slant on the
question Of do dogs think, or
how do dogs think, is propounded by
Sigmund Boehm in the current issue
Of the American Kennel Gazette.
Boehm, who is real student Of the
dog in the intimate way which a
moderate size kennel owner who does
all his own work must be, writes from
the knowledge attained by many years
close observation. His theory is that
the mode of the dogs thinking proc
esses is Influenced profoundly by the
extreme keenness of smell possessed by
even a pampered house dog. Whereas
with man seeing is believing very often,
the dog reasons not from what he sees,
but from what he smells. Subsidiary
impressions are received through the
ears to q much greater extent than 1t
is with people. Eyes come third in the
list Of the dogs senses.
It Is q well-known fact that differ
ent emotions in man release different
emanations, too faint to be perceived
as scents by man. Yet dogs do re-
ceive them and interpret them and
govern themselves accordingly. It is
probably these emanations at times of
stress which evoke the expressions of
sympathy which constantly surprise
dog owners.
