Stroin First Noticed
In His Driving

when I get physically tired,
which I always do after So holes,
find my driving is out of gear. That
seems to go first. My body gets too
quickly in the swing. I feel the
need of extra effort in place OF ease.
From there the trouble moves into
the short game. I am likely to get
the filters or the yips on any sort
of putt. This is typical of the older
golfer who might be overgolfed.
Golfers who have passed 40 or As
elso are faced with eye trouble
Ouimet said. Il can't get the true
line as I did once. I may be an inch
to the right or an inch to the LETT
on a fairly short putt. This also Is
a mental hazard when you feel that
you are guessing.
This same eye trouble applies to
other shots. You are inclined to hit
lust little back of the ball through
improper eye adjustment"
"The passing years" Ouimet said,
take their toll in competition. Out
side of physical deficits that come
along, you no longer can concentrate
as YOU once did. This has nothing
to do, though, with golflng skill, with
the ability to play every shot when
YOU feel keen and in the mood, in
a friendly round"

Ace Takes Greet Toll
Of Eyes and Legs

After the round we got to talking
about his appearance at Winged
Foot in the coming amateur cham

he said, but this is an entirely

"Why?" I asked.
"Eyes and legs" he said. "Or legs
and eyes. That is what the age OF
a years means in an all-week test
IT can play every shot today
could play when faced Vardon and
Raw" the star Bostonian said. L
can drive as far and as straight.
I can play my iron shots just the
same. But the eyes and the legs are
no longer with me.
when your legs begin to give
out after one or two ali-day matches
at SO holes you come upon sense
or feeling of WEAKNESS that affects
every shot you play. You feel the
need of greater effort to get the
required distance On the short side
you lose your touch around the
greens. Your chip shots no longer
are close. You no longer are sure
of the shorter puts, even those OF
two or three or four feet.

hazards will tend to impede our eff forts for the necessary speeding up of industry, unless our accident pre- vention program is built up to meet the added difficulties imposed by the emergency. And the tendency towards Q general psychology of heedlessness may also result in in- creasing accidents not related to in- dustriaI occupation, and this would further weaken our national effi- ciency."
 while the Federal government and other agencies concerned with health and life conservation, are taking steps to protect the workers under the emergency defense pro- grom, the statisticians declare that: Mechanical safeguards plant es- prit de corps, plant discipline, all can play part; but no feature 0i well thought out program seems of more importance now than the design to fix in the minds of all the fact that recklessness in re- gard to personal safety at this time will defeat the very ends for which we are striving"
The Waterbury Democrat., 1940-10-10

New York, N. F., Oct. IO.-In- juries resulting from reckless disre- gard of ordinary safety precautions by workers in plants engaged in emergency defense operations would do much to retard the progress of our national preparedness program, according to the statisticians of the Metropolitan Life Insurance Conl- pany. .
 HeedIessness.
 When men and women are work ing at jobs to advance the safety of their country, having willingly un- dertaken tasks that are more haz- ardous than those of their usual calling, the statisticians point out that psychology of heedleSsness Is apt to develop, and even feeling that it would be 'ignoble to count too closely the risks of ones occu- patton and everyday life when oth- CTS are offering their services, and if need be their lives, in the armed forces" And this, they say, is borne out by the records of the last World War period, when the, fatal accident rate fo 76.6 per 100000 for 1915, rose by 1916 to S4.2, and by 1917 to SS.2, a figure higher than that of any year since then.
 "The rise in the fatal accident rate that was observed during the last World War was, of course, due part ly to the direct effect of increased industrial activity, accompanied m some cases by increased hazards" the statisticians explain. But those who were in close contact with the work know that, in addition to these unavoidable new hazards, there was 8 tendency for Q certain degree of bravado. of disregard for some of those measures of caution which ordinarily are not lightly waved aside.
 "In the months that lie ahead, 1t will be necessary to guard against any such attitude, which, if 1t should become widespread. would cause an increase in the wastage of life and limb, and also of time, through accidental injuries. We can i'll afford any such condition as this when the general speeding up of industrial processes and the entrance of large numbers of in- experienced workers into new occu- pations inevitably introduce their own particular dangers.

CINCHING A JOB

A few years ago, at the age of 70,
Thomas F. Ryan died worth many millions
of dollars. In the meantime he had given
away a lot of money also. But so far as
the main facts of his life are concerned
they do not differ greatly from those Of
other poor boys who have risen to wealth
and power.
A little story is told, however, which
may give some insight into the manner in
which young Ryan got his start toward
great riches His first job was with a
Baltimore dry goods store, where he was
hired for So a week and told to report for
work the next morning. Now, he was in
earnest about that job and didn't want to
take any chances on letting it get away
from him, so he said to the boss: eff you
don't mind. I'll start right now without any
pay for today
Needless to say he made good on that
job, and two years later, at the age of 19,
he obtained employment in Wall Street.
At the age of % he became a member of
the New York Stock Exchange, from
which time his rise in the financial world
was rapid ard he became one of Americas
richest men.
Doubtless his remarkable success was
due to the spirit which he displayed in
start right now" A good many boys of
today might emulate that spirit with profit
to themselves.
