SELF-MADE CITIZENS

Any American who through disgust at profess sional flag-wavers has come to doubt the lump-in- he-throat power of patriotic feeling would do himself good to drop around to District Court some day when naturalization Of a citizen is in it's final phase.
 There is something about the solemn admins tering of the oath of allegiance the United States that is deeply moving to who were born citizens as well as to these who all ties with their fatherlands to become part and parcel of America. When the Briton his hand in court to allegiance to all foreign governments and especially to His Majesty King George and when the Yugo- savian swears all featy for the future to the stars and stripes in place of King Peter and his native land the value of American citizenship becomes evil dent It is a value which who born to it may have lost sight of.
 The foreign-born American citizen has ad vantage over the native: he has had to go through
 course of sprouts in order prove his right to vote He is so to speak self made citizen. Whether or not he appreciates the privilege depends doubt on his sense of responsibity-and also what sort of conditions he experienced in the country from which he Often, perhaps he is more American than many of the native born For him the Statue of Liberty first seen from the approach, has poignant meaning, the guarantees of civil liberty as new as this afternoons dispatches and he hold up his head with pride when his final papers given him.
 Three thousand of these new citizens took part last week graduation exercises at the New York fair There was pageant which helped remind Americans what immigrants have done for this try since the first of them landed than three centuries ago. Whether in a little group of two three in District Court at Juneau. Alaska, in a body of three thousand under the searchights at New York City, the point is good to stress.

 Mars is in threatening aspect which may stimulate trade. Mer- chants and manufacturers should profit greatly
 Women are subject to stimulating and generally helpful planetary in- fluences which encourage them to succeed in public service. The sway inclines toward practical applica- ton of talents.
 Artists should be fortunate today, especially those who seek engage ments in motion pictures or stage plays. Musicians also should ben eft.
 Demand for women with scientific training will be great in the autumn when chemists, nurses and labora- tory assistants will be employed.
 This is read as happy wedding day, although the new partnership may extend to joint wage-earning Increase in the number of married women who retain economic inde- pendence is prognosticated
 Under this configuration persons of prominence may suffer diminish ing popularity This sign extends to those high in the political hierarchy The tendency toward criticism may be strong as discontent affects many who depend upon government aid
 Although farmers should profit this year there is an ill omen for those who raise cotton. Surplus stores in the United States are to be ultimately utilized with fair re- turns, it is now indicated.
 Persons whose birthdate it is have the augury of year of good fortune, but they should guard their heart interests. Quarrels should be avoid- ed among members of the family.

Washingtons No. / maker OF
handmade golf clubs is about ready
to give up and call it an era on
wooden shafts. Bill Hardy, only
surviving member Of the dying
breed of old-timers (although Bill
himself is no doddering elderly
GENT hasn't had an order for a
wooden-shafted golf club for more
than three months and Is convinced
that wooden shafts. except for the
enthusiasm of q few die-hards, are
through.
why, I haven't even had an
order from the boss this winter for
wooden shafts" says Bill. His boss
is Bob Barnett. the sorrel-thatched
pro who holds forth at Indian
Greek, on Miami Beach In the win
ter and at the Chevy Chase Club
in the summer.
"A few people like the feel Of q
wooden -shafted putter," adds Bill.
But who breaks putter shafts? You
can't bust 'em in the ordinary
routine of play and barring a few
requirements of shafts of the short
range clubs I haven't had an order
for a wooden shaft in many months.
guess the old-timers who wouldn t
play with anything but wood have
quit the game or have died" And
Bill turned to his collection of tools
for handling steel shafts.
Work on Wood Pleasure.
"You know there was something
about working with wood that gave
a fellow like myself definite pride
in workmanship" he said. 1T was
a real pleasure to pick out from 40
or so shafts .one with the steely
quality we always sought. to scrape
it down to the necessary thinness.
and to watch it develop into the
finished product. Every golfer has
his pet ideas about feel and angle
of club-head and all sorts Of little
kinks. Some wanted the feel of
the head away down at the head.
Others wanted the kick up under
the grip. You could bring all those
things out in wooden shaft, along
with that intangible something
which you might call pride of work.
manship.
But what happens now? We buy
steel shafts in four grades OF stih-
ness. They also make them with the
kick or whip anywhere along the
shaft. The power hitters like a very
stiff shaft with scarcely any torsion'
The weaker hitters like shaft with
a little whip in it. But you don't
have to do any work on the shaft
1t comes finished, all ready to stick
into the head. OF course, there Is
some finishing off of the hosel and
facing the head and getting the
right angle of lie and that kind OF
thing. But the thrill of turning out
finely finished, steely piece OF hick-
ory is gone. I guess those days never
will come back"
"How do you feel personally about
wooden shafts?" I asked Bill. DO
you get the kick out of hitting shot
with steel that you used to have
with a good piece Of hickory under
your hands?"
mo, don't believe I do," said the
master clubmaker. But they are
turning out such fine products now
in steel that you can hardly tell the
difference. The shot-if you hit II
