For the first time in book form, here is :
Joe Novak's remarkable method that
works wonders in improving the score
of any golfer - the method that has
made Novak the most highly regarded
golf instructor in the United States.
In the Novak system there are only eight
simple steps-four in addressing the ball
and four in the swing. These eight steps
are the basis of American-style cham
pionship golf. They apply to every shot,
eveyy club, from driver to putter.
An important feature of the system is
that it enables the player himself to
check on his grip, stance, and swing!
The four routine steps in addressing
the ball and the four steps for the swing
are all you need to learn. They are SO
simple, logical and easy to follow that
the basic routine readily becomes habit.
The result is simply amazing! Not
single Novak pupil who applied the sys-
tenn has ever failed to improve his game!
Here is a brief outline of the Novak
method offered you in PAR GOLF IN

possible leads. They reported
they had uncovered no motive in
the case or identity of who was

One theory was that the "a

missing since Thursday, was fatal

been slugged elsewhere and her
body dumped beside the road four
miles from this college town.
Deputy Sheriff F. H. Charlton

earth seemed to indicate that two
persons had carried woman
from a car on the highway and
dropped her.
Slightly more than two hours

Taylor's mother had reported her
missing. She had not returned to
her home Thursday night after

learned from friends that her
daughter left work at the VA

mother said, she was going to a

The mother was unable to find
any further word of her daughter

quantity every year and the doc
tors in our small home town
depended on her to have it when
ever they needed it. She was so
glad to give it to them. In fact
one doctor said it saved the life
of a little baby that he was treat

STEAM IRON.

(Fron, Mrs. H. L. c., Falls Church,
For Mrs. C. P, Arlington: A
steam iron is a very worthwhile
investment, especially if you pur-
chase one that can be converted
from steam to dry ironing. I
heartily recommend mine which
has two names, starting with &c"
and ending with &C." use mine
every ironing day as it is wonder
full for rayons, textrons, etc., any
material that dries out as you are
working with it, especially if
windows and doors are open and
a breeze is coming in. You never
have to stop to dampen a dry
spot. For linens use the iron dry.
A steam iron is marvellous for
pressing anything. The use of
distilled water is a must, and that
is easily acquired which goes into
the tray under the unit when you
defroSt your refrigerator. OF
course, be sure the tray is clean
