Mokine Of Sneod Seen
In Miserable Finish

I talked to Hagen about Sam
Snead's heart-breaking finish.
What effect do you think this
crash will have upon his future in
competitive golf?" I asked.
1T should make him, not break
him." Hagen said.
LAS far as have been able to
figure, Snead has figured golf as a
game where you merely shoot. That
is about 25 per cent of it. No more.
"Snead is one of the great shot
makers of all time. He's a great
golfer with every club. But that
won't win him championships
He hasn't used his head in the
right way.
For example, he came to the $50
yard 18th hole with a 5 to win
and 6 to tie. This was no place to
pick strokes. It was place to save
strokes. He hooks. his drive. What
of it? He still can carry the bunker
with 3-iron and have a short pitch
and run for possible or a sure 5
for 283. He can play short of the
bunker and reach-the green swith- q
No 7 pitch. Either way wlEHve

Greet Lesson for Sammy,
But 1t Comes Hiqh

He just didn't do any thinking
when he took out the wood. He had
nothing to gain with wooden club,
since he couldn't reach the green.
He had the championship to lose.
With all the length and control,
all the variety of shots that Sam
Snead has, he has only to add just a
little more headWork.
This lost championship should
be great lesson for Snead. He is
too great golfer to waste such tai
ent. Good golf strokes are played
with the hands and wrists, working
with the action of feet and body.
Championship golf is played with
the head.
"Snead has jaid big price for a
hard lesson, but you usually pay big
prices for the main lessons you have
to learn. The good things rarely
come cheap. I ought to know"

Washington Halls
1889 With More
Noise Than HiIarity
Capacity Night Club
Crowds Are Denied
StimuIonts After II
Washington hailed 1889 with more

Washington hailed 1899 with more
noise than hilarity early today.
Capacity crowds in the night clubs
were cut of from alcoholic stimu-
lants just as the New Year arrived,
sharply on the stroke of H.
Only one 1899 casualty was re-
ported early today, while thousands
remained out until the small hours
and revelry went on in dance places
from which orchestras had departed.
The first victim of the New Year
celebration was Miss Marie Harden,
16, of 229 K street NE, who was
shot in the hip, presumably by a
celebrant, while standing with her
parents on the front porch of their
home a few minutes aftar midnight.
The family party had issued from
their home to hear the bells and
bedlam of motor horns, locomotive
whistles and shouts. Miss Harden
suddenly felt a burning sensation in
her hip. Learning she had been hit
by a bullet, she was hurried to
Sibley Hospital.
There doctors had not immedi-
ately determined whether she was
seriously wounded.
Walters Are Vigilant.
1t was the first New Year with a
Sunday closing hour which Wash
ington had experienced since repeal.
At hotels, night clubs and hot
spots" squads of vigilant walters
were on hand to snatch glasses of
alcoholic beverages from the hands
OF celebrants. Extra details of de-
tect!ves and inspectors from the
A. B. c. Board were on hand to see
that the strict letter of the law was
enforced.
Virtually every downtown moving
picture theater gave midnight per-
formance to Standing room only"
audiences.
Lines several blocks long led to
the box offices at least an hour
before the IL o'clock shows started.
A score of traffic officers were de-
tailed to downtown F street to break
the jams of motor vehicles.
In addition to the moving picture
crowds, at least $500 persons were
moving on d2vntown F street, into
the party at the National Press Club
and into several functions at the
Willard Hotel.
The extra policemen stood by for
the most part with good-natured
grins on their faces. They refused
to trade their caps for paper hats,

Editorial Correspondence of The Star.
THEODORE w. MOVES.

1HLoDohE w. NO1 ES.
This is the day for new year
resolutions and the expression of
hope for better things to come.
The Washington community
and the Congress which governs
it might appropriately combine
in the adoption of resolutions to
turn over a new leaf in the rela-
tionShip which so closely joins
them together. And both, with
good reason, might hope for bet
ter things to come.
The 10th Congress, which is
our new national, state and mu-
nicipal legislature, will soon be
functioning and in the process
will make decisions of great i'm
portance to the people of WASH
ington, if not to those of their
home districts, upon urgent items
of local legislation and appro-
priations. Those decisions can
be of utmost benefit to the Wash
ington community or they can, as

New Year Resolutions

shown in the past, threaten and
accomplish deep injury to the
Washington community.
In what spirit will the Congress,
with its large percentage of new
members in both House and Sen
ate, approach this legislation? In
what spirit will the Capital COM
munity welcome its legislators,
new and old, and cooperate with
them in sensible suggestion of
wise and just laws and in rejec-
ton of such as are inequitable?
Harmful Talk on Both Sides.
The Washingtonian, powerless
to participate effectively in his
own taxation and government and
impotent to withstand those in
dividual legislators, who, he be-
lieves, have abused their power
to tax and govern him. has in
particular instances exercised too
freely and extensively the privilege
of the hopelessly defeated litigant
of "cussing the court" And also
in individual instances the Dis
trict's legislators, with all powers
in their hands to wound and even
to destroy, have taken too great
offense at the verbal sputterings
of the aggrieved and helpless and
have too vigorously retaliated.
Too many of Washington's leg
islators have come to view their
constituents as unappreciative,
ungrateful, greedy, selfish and
censorious, and too many of these
constituents, also generalizing too
broadly, have come to view the
legislators. selected for them by
the Constitution, as carelessly
ignorant of their needs, as con-
temptuously Indifferent to and
neglectful of their welfare or as
actively hostile.
The crying need of the hour is
a change of thought, a change OF
heart, new policy under which

and belated tribute Of grateful
appreciation to the long line Of
Senators and Representatives,
who have faithfully performed
the unselfish, difficult and almost
thankless task of dealing as con-
siderately and justly with their
Capital constituency as with their

the President December II, 1897.
By the Associated Press.
President Roosevelt continued at
6464 cents per ounce Yesterday the
Treasurys price for newly mined
domestic silver.
In fixing the price by proclama-
ton, the President directed that the
silver must be delivered to a United
States coinage mint not later than
June 80, 1899.
The proclamation is effective only
up to that date. Mr.. Roosevelt s
power to fix the price of domestic
silver by proclamation, and his right
to change the dollars gold content,
both will expire then unless Con-
gress renews them.
Silver delivered to a coinage mint
after June 30. 1899, will not be
eligible for receipt under yesterdays
proclamation even though mined
prior to that date.
Urged by Western States.
Congressman from Western sill
ver-mining States had urged the
President not to reduce the price,
contending that to do so would
throw miners out of work.
Critics of the Governments sill
yer purchase program have con-
tended in the past that the differ
ence between the world price of
silver and the higher price paid by
the Treasury for domestic silver rep
resented a subsidy for producers in
this country.
No statement was made yesterday
about the Treasury's price for for
eign and other silver, which is kept
on a day-to-day basis, and has
been 43 cents per ounce since last
March. Most of the Treasury's
silver purchases. particularly metal
from China, Mexico and Canada, are
made at this "other" price.
Altogether. since the New Deals
purchase program began, the Treas
ury has purchased 1885, 900 900
ounces of silver at an average cost
of 56.3 cents an ounce. In 1894
Congress said in the Silver Purchase
Act that silver was worth $1.29 per
ounce, giving the Treasury's present
silver stocks of approximately o.
550, 100000 ounces a monetary value
of more than $3,250,0OO,OO0. Most

The first is to cultivate regular

time them by the clock. Don't skip

Your body goes through its longest
