Napoleon was credited with the

Lloyd George of England is said

IN THE midst of the recent Good
all round-robin struggle for mas
terry among is of the worlds best
golfers we began thinking again Of
the part that the mental side or
mental attitude plays in this battling
game of golf.
The Is contestants in this tourney
were all fine golfers ON the physical
side. Most Of them can hit the ball
. long, long way and keep It
straight, most Of them are fine iron
players, keen pitchers, and at least
few are consistent putters. The
main answer Is ones mental atti-
tude for the day or for the tourna-
ment-his ability to concentrate
along the right lines.
This, of course, is an old story.
But how does one locate this phan-
tom will-o' -the-wisp?

ments, one of the main favorites at
Fresh Meadow. I had seen him

usually stick with you.
Here's a funny angle. am sup

WASHINGTON, Aug. 96R&The

night regarding the details OF q
new monster tank which is to go

Officials evidently felt that any
information regarding the design
of the land battleship" might
prove of value to some foreign ma

They were displeased by the fact
that news of the IS, 689, 725 contract
with Baldwin for production of an
u~ndisclosed number of the tank2
had slipped out in a routine list
of contract clearings made public
by the national defense commits
sion.
The secrecy recalled to m e
veteran officers that which W a S
maintained in England when the
first World war tanks were under
construction. Parts of the new wal
machines were labelled simply
for a tank" giving the impression
that they were to be part of a con-
tainer for some kind of liquid. This
device of concealment was so wide
ly used that when it came time
to name the new product it was
called a tank. 3

REPORT

WASHINGTON, Aug. 9.-RNThe
agriculture department revised
downward today its 1910 forecast Of
tobacco production with an esti-
mate of 1852, 087, 900 pounds based
on August l condition.
This was about two per cent be-
low the July estimate and a de-
crease of about 80 per cent from
last years record crop of 1,848,-
654. 900 pounds.
The greater protion Of the reduc-
ton was in fue-cured and Burley
tobacco grown in Virginia, the
carolinas, Georgia and Kentucky.
For fue-cured, the departments
August forecast was Gal, $40, 0Oo
pounds compared with SIG, 645, 00C
on July l and a 1889 crop Of 1,15s,'
800, 900 pounds.
The latest forecast for Burley
was 1892, 254, 900 pounds compared
with 1873, 96, 900 pounds forecast
July l and 1874, 1913, 900 pounds pro-
duced last year.
August estimates for other types
included dark rife cured, 9 $780,
$; pounds; Maryland, 26,460,'
900; dark air-cured, AZ, 075, 900, anc
cigar types, 122, 1928, 1000 pounds.
The department said excessive
heat in July, especially in NORTH
Carolina, did considerable damage
to fue-cured tobacco.
In most of the fue-cured area O.

tent in South Carolina leaves die

the department said.
A high yielding crop of G o {

harvested.

young Connecticut senator replied
that he did so because the admins
