Inc.) o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o How It Started By J ea n N ew t o n OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO “If the Mountain Will Not Come to Mohammed—” A SAYING that is frequently used In common speech Is “If the mountain will not come to Mohammed Mohammed m ust go to the mountain!” One friend calling on another whom he has not seen In some time will remark, “It w as your turn to come to me, but if the mountain will not come to Mo- lhammed— !” The saying is familiar, too, with reference to a hope or an achievement which does not come of itself, but requires effort and exertion to bring it'about, the implication be ing that if the object Is w orth it, we must make the eltort. The origin of the saying is found In one of the many legends that have come down through the ages with re gard to Mohammed, the prophet of Islam. It has been given credence be cause It is known that with all his sincerity and faith in his divine in spiration, the prophet w as forced, on occasions, to use all his cleverness and astute wits to “put over” his messages and gain from the ignorant and doubling populace followers to his faith. The story is told that a group that 1 he was attempting to convert demand ed In proof of his authority that he bring about a miracle. Eager to con vince them ln the only coin that they would honor, he raised his eyes aloft and commanded a nearby mountain to come to him. When the mountain did not stir, the Ingenious prophet, un dismayed. declared that Allah was . merciful, for had he permitted tile mountaiu to obey his disciple It would have fallen on them and destroyed them a ll! Therefore, lie concluded, he would go to the m ountain, instead, and give thanks for their deliverance! (IS. by Bell Syndicate.) 36^—Duplicating the Swing. The best golfer is the one who can the most consistently duplicate the right swing. By no possibility can the ball reach the desired spot unless the stroke is good. Every poor player oc casionally has made a shot which he or she stores In memory as a wonder. That result must have been obtained by a good stroke. Of course it w as ac cidental if there is little knowledge by the player of^tlie mechanics of the swing and no ability to duplicate the accidentally good swing. You can't hit a golf ball a thousand times with out hitting it correctly a time or two. Here is another point, occasioned by the thought of a player whose swing looks p erfect To see him take a practice swing one involuntarily places him among the scratch players. As a matter of fact, he is^a 20-handi cap man and probably never will have his handicap lowered. By reason of a few lessons and a natural power of imitation he has acquired what looks like a perfect swing. His trouble is with his timing. Every element of a good swing is present, but they do not come to a focus as the club meets the ball. It is like a machine gun playing against the side of an armored ship. The total force of a 16-incli shell may be expended by the machine gun, but It takes the shell to make a dent ln the armor. There may be more on the subject of timing. It Is enough here to say the player never will be a golfer of class unless he can time the swing so that the club face h its the ball when It is faced properly and traveling at the right speed. It only makes mat ters worse to apply muscular exertion In order to get the right distance. Be yond the necessary point, muscle is not able to add a particle to the effi cacy of a golf swing. Almost anyone Is strong enough. The whole secret, provided the elements of a good swing are present, is in the timing. Very few golfers are able to work out the secret of timing for themselves. The only thing for the adult golfer to do is to take his troubles to the profes sional. The child may learn timing instinctively, but the adult, never. m e r e Miouia o e a n o tn e r ’ name for the pivot. At any rate, there should be a better understanding of ju st what the pivot is. Here's a method by which you can get a thorough under standing of the whole movement. No matter where you are when you read this description, try it at once. Stand a few inches from a wall or open doorway and lean forward until the top of the forehead touches the wall or door-jamb. You are fairly balanced on both feet. Keep your forehead pressed against the support and move the hips to the right until you feel distinctly that the weight id on the right leg. As a m atter of fact, you feel that you are sitting up on top of the right leg. There Is not a particle of rotary motion. If you are leaning against a wall, the motion of the hips is exactly parallel with the wall. If there has been any rotary or twisting motion of the’hips, try it again until you are certain the mo tion Is wholly sidewise. When you are certain you have gone through this movement properly move- the hips as far to the left aa they will go, being sure that the fore head stays where it was. At the end of the movement to the left, yeu will have the same feeling o f sitting on top of your left leg as you had at the end of the movement * to the right. Now just go over the whole movement again with the arms hanging loosely and note that about the only body movement is a dip of the left shoulder when the hips go to the right and a corresponding dip of the right shoul der when the hips go to the left. This is w here w hat should be called the pivot begins. Go though the same motion, making the regular backward swing to the top with the arms and continuing through to the finish, with the right shoulder as far down and through as you can get it without moving your head. All that movement above the hips is a real p iv o t Final ly, take your regular stance, keeping your forehead against the support- Probably your left foot is toed out. Toe straight for the line w ith the left foot. Then go through the whole movement, slowly toward the right and as fast as you can against the stiffened left leg, letting your head turn around, not lift, a t the finish. All that Is the perfect pivot. (©. 1925. Wontern N ewspaper U nion.) WINTER HIGHV/AYS MADE SAFE FOR AUTOS A Brief Array of the Events of the W eek in the Nation’s Capital W ashington sentim en t - is moving slowly toward co-operative action be tween coal operators and govern- I m ent for collection of d ata on coal | d istribution and labor factors, sup- i plementing coal production. Compul- I sory reporting of d ata by o perators I is coming more and more to be re- | garded as u n constitutional and per- ' haps unnecessary, since some lead- j ing o perators are showing signs of a I sp irit of voluntary co-operation. | System would be comparable to that j now used in collecting data from I cotton ginners, which is highly p er fected. We hear that at least one prominent W est Virginia o p e ra to r is openly discussing unionization of hitherto non-union territory to pro mote stabilization of labor condi tions. We still believe that despite adm inistration p ressure, no coal leg islation is likely this session. Senate may investigate big busi ness combinations. Plans for such an inquiry, to be pushed between now and adjournm en t, and possibly continued through the summer, are u n d er discussion between Demo crats and W estern Republicans. Regular Republicans* are listening in, and trying to discourage the idea on the grounds that it will frighten business, produce no constructive results, and serve m erely political purposes. Proponem en ts o f idea say it will show up that many combina tions are not economically sound, and are threatened with under-cut ting in competition with indepen dents, less highly capitalized, in the future. This situation deserves care ful watching in n ex t few weeks. Here is the talk now circulating in Democratic circles: Democrats, par ticularly in Congress, have little party leadership. There a re few ef fective p a rty counsels to plan issues for fall elections. Tariff is an issue, but has n o t y e t been jockeyed into good position, though this may be done in rem aining six weeks o f con gressional session: B ig business com binations may be made into an issue through proposed Senate investiga tion, mentioned e a rlier in this letter. Democrats lost tax reduction as an issue by n o t seizing the Mellon plan and “out-M elloning Mellon.” About the future, Democrats here are saying this: Smith and McAdoo “are not candidates for President, but both will be, and each will kill the o th er.” Some d ry ’s a re c u ltivat ing Smith, and urging him not to press the prohibition issue. McAdoo supporters are making conscious e f fort “ n o t to think or talk McAdoo,” but instead, to o rganize set of fun damental principles, including tariff revision, agricultural relief, freight rate reductions, co-operaitve m arket ing international co-operation (avoiding League of Nations as an immediate jssue) and some control of “overgrown business combina tions.” Tariff revision prospects a re very uncertain.

At the same time we h ea r of discussions between adm inistration spokesmen and man- facturers to sound o u t the latter on “tariff adjustm en t” n ex t y ear. Most are theoretically favorable, b u t fear to open up the subject because they say it will shake fundam en tal con ditions of confidence. But there are signs, a b it vague just now, that it is to be opened up n ex t year, though comprehensive legislation is doubt ful. Prohibition. Some influential com mercial and m a n u fa c tu re rs’ associa tions are communicating p rivately to the governm ent that for the present they w a n t to stay o u t of prohibition controversy, b u t that when the issues gets really hot, two or three years from now, they will support con tinued prohibition on economic grounds. P ro hibition in the fall elec tions, and probably also in the p resi d en tial elections of 1928, will con stitute local, not national, issues. N either p arty, as such, will come out on wet side. General opinion h ere is that wets will gain members in Con gress by fall elections.

The process Is similar to that tan- ployed by the American Indians in making flint arrowheads. The flint was shaped by heating the stone and dropping cold water on it, each drop causing a chip of stone to fly off be cause of the sudden contraction caused by the water. The glass to be treated is first sand blasted. This produces a milky frost ed surface. The glass is then coated with glue and subjected to a gradual drying process ln a gas-flred oven. The drying causes the glue to con tract and this ln turn makes the glass shrink and shrivel off In flakes. Timely Tips Will Help the Careful Car Driver Tire chains are an almost indis pensable motbring accessory in wet weather, but many a Car owner has ruined his tires because he did not give the chains proper consideration. First of ail, chains should typ of the proper s iz e ; not so tight as to eat Into the tire's tread and side walls nor so loose as to slip under strain. They should be adjusted to creep slightly so as to distribute the w ear over the tire. Put on chains when they are needed —no sooner and no later. And take them off as soon as the need Is past. Keep them on the tires as long as they add to driving safety but not a mo ment longer. This advice is particu larly applicable to paved highways. Apply brakes even more cautiously when chains are being used. A sud den application of the brakes locks the wheels and often causes the chains to eat into the rubber. The Sultan’s palace in Constant inople, the Yildez Kiosk, will pass into the hands of bankers to be con verted into another Monte Carlo.
