Short Putt Is Bugbeor
To Most Golfers

Here's funny angle" one crack
pro told me. The shot that takes
years off our lives is often easy for
golfers over so years old. I mean
the 4 and S foot putt. I've seen
these old fellows drop one after
another. They are not afraid of
this distance. Most of us are. They
expect to make these puts and we
are not sure.
There's nothing tougher in a
round than to keep leaving yourself
a putt of or feet. A few of these
will rip your nerves out by the roots.
But they don't bother a flock of old
fellows who couldn't hit a golf ball
$50 yards. They expect to hole EN-
all from this range"
Tommy Armour figures that No.
2 or iron shot into a cross-wind
is among the toughest-especially
one blowing from left to right.
A good, stiff breeze makes every
shot harder for the duffer, except
when the breeze is at his back.
There is a tendency to do everything
wrong while hitting into a head
wind, especially to tighten up and
hurry the backswing. This is the
time to loaf on the backswing.
1.-The hardest single assignment in
golf" all the old-timers tell me, 'is
to keep concentrating on your swing
Only few lapses are needed to cost
lot of strokes. The temptation is
too strong to take the swing for
granted. But the club isn't going to
swing itself.
1T is concentration or the attempt
at concentration that wears one
down, not the physical side of the
game. Yet it is vitally important to
remember certain things one has
to do.
"Too many golfers concentrate
only on the downswing, leaving the
backswing to take care of itself
Which 1t won't or can't do."

The
OPoRTLTGH1
Colts Toughest Shots
Picked by Experts
BY GRANTLAND RICE,
9pecial CORRESPONDENT of The Star,

AUGUSTA, Ca, April 1.-What is
the hardest shot in golf? With all
the talent assembled at the Augusta
National this seemed to be the
proper spot for correct answer.
I've heard golfers debating this
topic for many years. But here in
the home of the dogwood bloom and
the all-star cast I have picked up at
least partial reply. Here was the
consensus, taken from a rather large
vote
l. The long approach putt over
keen, sloping green in champion
ship.
2. The brassie shot where the turf
isn't too we'll set up.
g. The long iron, say the midiron
or No. 2, to the green.
I find that most good golfers dread
the long approach putt more than
anything else. You'll find them de-
pressed over so many three-putt
greens. But the trouble here is that
their second shots to the green are
not close enough.
Three-putting is more often than
not the result of faulty iron play.
Any putt over 45 or so feet on a green
cut for tournament play is difficult
to lay dead, meaning fairly close to
the cup.
You'll hear golfers say, II was only
20 feet from the cup and I three
putted."
Measure this distance and you'll
find 1t was closer to 40 feet. When
the second shots are dropping from
40 to 60 feet away from the pin you'll
see lot of three putting.

Must Get Mony Brides
To Be Near TOP

About the long iron-"If you can't
hit the ball far enough today" Gene
Sarazen tells me, ito use a No. 4
iron, or S iron, you are up against
1t. Few golfers can play a l, 2 or
even 3 iron accurately enough to get
the ball near the pin for a tap at a
birdie. And you've got to get brides
today, lot of brides, if you expect
to be around the top.
There are exceptions. Paul Run
yam Is a great spoon player, for ex-
ample. But I mean as a general
average. You've got to get out there
on your drive-and way out there.
Not many will be putting for brides
after using brassie or long iron. "
Most of the pros agreed that one
OF the hardest shots for the average
golfer was a short pitch over a
trap, especially from a close lie.
The average golfer has no idea
how this shot should be played. He
feels that he must lift it with his
hands, in place of biting down or
pinching the ball. This shot doesn't
bother the good golfer with the mod
ern sand wedge.
can tell you the easiest shot in
golf for the good pro. 1t is the
bunker shot, where once again the
sand wedge or the dynamiter has
removed all fear of bunker play.
I played recently with two of the
best. They were a trif1e wild with
their second shots. But on eight
successive occasions they came out
of bunkers close enough to get down
in one putt.
Tommy Armour says that he
played with Bobby Cruickshank
when Wee Robert, emerging from
bunkers, got down in one putt "a
consecutive times during a number
of rounds.
There almost is nothing left to
bunker play-if you know how to
operate the modern wedge, dyna-
miter or blaSter.

Beware Of
Poison
Take Precautions
Against Insects
And Sunburn
BY PATRICIA LINDSAY.

Days in the country-far from the
city noise and heat are just wonder
fulfil! If you do not get an insect
bite, a nasty sunburn or touch
poison ivy!
City dwellers seem to be pretty
susceptible to poison ivy, especially
red-heads and delicate skinned
ladies. Some authorities say SEN
sitivity to poison ivy is inherited,
and if that is the case with you, you
should spend your day well wrapped
from head to foot. Wear cotton
gloves, long sleeves and keep your
ankles and legs covered, as you never
know just when you might come in
contact with it If you are running
through fields and playing by happy
little brooks!
If any person touches poison ivy
he should Immediately wash with
naptha soap, and If the itchy rash
breaks out on your skin, you had bet
ter HE to a druggist and buy some
calomine lotion to dab on gener-
ously. Baking soda packs also help.
If you get a truly serious dose of
poison ivy, and 1t spreads rapidly
over your skin, you should be sure
to see a doctor.
''Not only gentlemen, but bees pre-
fer blonds," says Mr.. Stokes of the
Columbia Studios, who is taken
along to treat the stars when insects
sting them.
Mr.. Stokes treats bee, mosquito
and all insect bites except those of
spiders, by first washing with alco-
hol and then dabbing on a weak
solution of ammonia. If any fever
develops from the insect bite Mr..
Stokes has his wards drink many
glasses full of fruit juice until the
welt from the sting subsidies.
So my dears if you are going to
have a day in the country you might
include bit Of naptha soap, pack
age of baking soda, a wee bit of al
cohol and a small bottle of ammonia.
This will make up your flrst-aid kit,
in case you find yourself in trouble
with nature and far, far from your
favorite doctor!
OF course, your beauty editor
takes it for granted that you will
protect your skin, your hair and
your eyes from the sun by taking
along sunglasses, head shades and
the creams you need!

Child Fears
Of Night
Give Him TinyLight
In Room Without
Any Discussion
By ANGELO PATRI.

A little light is a great help in
the darkness, whether that be the
darkness of night or the darker
blackness of ignorance. Children
are often beset by fears. They do
not know why the fear comes upon
them, and neither do we. They
only know that they suffer and are
afraid. They turn for help to us,
and we are never certain just what
| to do. When one does not know the
| cause of the fear it is difficult to
| cure it.
Courage cannot be forced from the
outside. 1t is useless to tell child
Don't be silly. There's nothing to
hurt you. You know this house from
top to bottom. Go right along and
bring me that bottle off the top shelf
in my closet" That won't help. That
won't take the chill out of his spine
nor the weight off his legs. That
won't prevent the panic that makes
him race down the stairs with the
breath of the evil blackness on the
back of his neck. It will make things
worse
Don't make a child who fears the
dark enter it without light. If
there are no lights to turn on give
him fashlight. At first go along
with him and forget about preach
ing courage as you go. Do the er-
rand casually and let it go at that.
Talking about the dark, about his
being brave only emphasizes his
fear. Save all that for the daytime
lesson.
Little children show fear early.
Head it off by taking them out into
the night when you can, show them
the sky, the stars. the moon and
the beautiful softness of nights
shadows, the pleasant voices of the
night. Let them listen to the wind
IN the trees, to the chirping and
twittering that goes on in the grass
and in the trees. Make them &C
quainted with the moods of the
night. Tell them how lovely it is and
reclte poems to prove it. Please don't
begin with that fearsome one, Did
you ever hear the wind go Who-oo-
co." 1t isn't the one you want. Be-
gin with Star light, star bright"
or Twinkle twinkle" and don't for
get "Winkin and Blinkin and Nod,
one night" and sing lullabies that
soothe the fearsome spirit as night
closes in.
Give the child who wakens in the
night and is afraid a light on his
bed, so that by moving a finger he
has light. Teach him to do this
without calling on others. Tell him
that most of us wake in the night,
turn over and 60 to sleep again with
out wakening anybody else.
If this sort of child has to get up
in the night to go' to the bathroom
and there is no switch convenient to
his hand leave light for him. BY
and by you will be able to teach
him to switch it off and go back
to bed secure in his mind. But in
the beginning let him have the
light without discussion.
During the day make occasion to
take this child on excursions about
the house. Look into closets, go into
attics, investigate all the places
where fear turks. Don't discuss the
fear. just have occasion to go to
these places and have the child 60
along to carry something or help
arrange a shelf. OF course you
never tell him about the bogey man
or threaten him with the dark
cellar. You teach courage by exam
Pile. You train for confidence by be-
ing worthy of it.

Dear Miss Dix-I am about to

I have been engaged for three years,
but hesitate to take the fatal step
because of his attitude toward my
mother. I adore her, and she is one
of the sweetest women in the world,
but he seems to dislike her for no
cause whatever. But he treats his
own mother the same way. Is so
rude and unkind to her that it en-
barraSSes me, as she has many
friends and has done so much for
all of her children. My own family
say that he will treat any woman
who marries him as he does his
mother. That would mean divorce
for me, because I wouldn't stand it.
He seems to love me enough, but Il"
is always his best subject. What
would you do If you were in my
place? PROSPECTIVE BRIDE.

If you are adding a garage, either
attached or removed from the house
by a covered walk, see if you cannot
arrange to have it open into the

Motoring guests should arrive just
as though they came to the front
door. not through the service rooms
of the house. The garage may ac-
commodate garden room. too, with
small sink, work counter, shelves
and cupboards, with a rack along
the wall for garden tools. There
can never be too many shelves in
a garage, not only for the para
phernalia of motoring. but for the
thousand and one other things that
can logically be placed there. Lest
the floor be unsightly from the
grease that drips from under the
car. build a frame of wood to fit
under it and fill the frame with sand
or gravel.
