The Seaforth News, 1929-08-22, Page 3Golf Twenty.four Hours A Day • Gold day and night gain or shine, is the fascinating program now Offer- ed to enthusiasts, we are told by R. W.Shentell, writing ip"Liisht" (Cleve- land, O.) On the new practise course now available, he tells us, pro- feesionals declare thas the golf balls are more readily mem under artificial illumination thai. in daytime playing. This, we are told, is dlie to the tact that the wliole ball is driven toward a dark background, the contrast mak- ing for excieptional visibility of the ball. Writes Mr. Shenton, "You can now play golf at night. You can also play in a pouring rain, and not get wet. The genius back of the combinationis a man fanied far and wide for hie accomplishments in incondescentlamp mafitifactuni. "J. T. Pagan is the man. He bas done more than any other single in- dividual as a developer or automatio m'achitery, to introduce ultra -quantity methods in the manafacture of incan- descent lamps. He has thereby say. ed the lamp -buying public millioam of dollars, and has given them a product of a uniformity and quality beyond the possibilities of human tends. "13M what has all of this to do with playing olf? Certainly this man would be among the very last to claim mdue prowess for himself as a golfer But like all successful geniuses who havas learned the secret of perpetual youth, he must bave a plaything. "His friend, ff. A. Markham, mine to him with an idea for a new kind of golf course. One where the dub ar the pro could bat out . balls to his heart's content without having to chase balls or hunt for lost cnes. Fagan saw its possibilitiea at once. "It is a practise course where you can choose a green anywhere from forty to two -hundred and seventy-five yards away. It is not necessary for you to announce in advance which one you were driving for. After a while a bell will ring as a warning to lay off while a regiment of caddies rush out and scoop up the balls. "If you think you are especially good, there are special targets at which you can direct your aim. And there need be no cirubt In your mind as to whether your ball found its mark, for if it ma, a mechanical contriv- ance will announce the fact to the world by means of a musical Siren, "Each golfer has a stall to himself, and there is an unlimited supply of balls. There is a miniature nine - hole course, where you can have all the thrills of a regular game except the long drives. "Synthetic golf, you might call it. In the well-built stalls you are prac- tically independent of the weather. And thanks to a fine job of outdoor lighting, you would just as soon play at night as by day. "This matter of playing golf by artificial light opens up many pos- sibilities for debate. What of tbe psychological effects? Will seacall- ed mental hazards become more or less serious? Will the enveloping darkness form a psychological tun- nel or funnel that will guide your ball toward its objective? Or, will the absence of illumination tend to draw your ball away from its course as wet know a body of water will in the day- time? In other words, should we light up the rough as well as the fair- way, or should we stick to a narrow band of light down the middle of the fairway? Whatever the right ans- wer 15, trust our engineers and scin- tists to find it. They did ot for ten- nis when the proposal to play outdoor tennis at night seemed absurd. "The principal cost in golf Is due to the tremendous investment in real estate that Is necessary. If light can lengthen the hours of play, light will cut down this cost materially."

The establishment of safe- ly islands for pedestrians is the neces- sary complement to the installation of traffic lights. Attempts made hitherto in this direction have not been particularly encouraging, as ex- periments have not met with proper pupport from a certain class of mot- • orist, nor even from some pedestrians who do not seem to be able to sub- mit to a practice destined to give them greater protection. However, with a little training and patience, we srould be able to edtcate the masses and make certain of the success of the reform. rit4t$69 ,am -Doped TIIRES 1-10LID ALL WODPILID IPECOPIDS FDP ENEDUIPANC Safety 6- e JOUR local Firestone Dealer has a Fire- stone Tire for every purse and purpose.

In fact, it is precieelY to the guiatan vogue that the particular phaseof the con- temporary jewelry mode owe their popularity. Amor,' precious atones, pearls are Hist Ip tht limelight. They are net seen in the graduated string form- erly the style,. but are combined in many ingeniona was, and with other jewels, such as diamond% emeralds, Jade and thedelectable flushed coral. It is considered mart to twist to. gether a rope of delicate seed pearls and coral and wear it knotted at the back of the neck. Or it may be wound around the wrist several times for a bracelet. Some women wear their strands alightly looped and fast- ened to one side by a pin of similar Jewels. The fashion in jewelry this season points to three revivals; the elabo- rate earring, the stress pendant and the diamond bowknot Inc the left shoulder, often holding in place a fairylike tulle scarf. Earrings are in perfect harmony with •the romantic mood of the sea- son. In one style, tiny jade grapes bang from a gold chain. IR another, pearls and diamonds alternate In grduated size from the tiny pearl at the ear. In yet another a gold fili- gree loop or exquisite workmanship lianas on a gold chain, while another design has a tiny dagger's head of diamonds fith a ruby drop,. The elaborate beauty of the stress pendant is matched by the fashion of diamond bracelets in wide bands. Sports jewelry is frankly bizarre, For beach wear ,ensemble eats are the mode, composed of anklel, brace- let, and necklace made of carved wooden beads combined with red glass beads. On the necklace, a strand is designed to hand down the back. Other beach jewelry is made of rub- ber, skillfully fashioned to appear otherwise. Islanders Want Pepper and Sugar Durban, Natal—On her voyage from Australia to South Africa, the P. 0. steamer Beltana went two days out of her course on a fruitless search for possible survivor e of the Danish training ship—the five -masted barque Kobenhavn—which had been reported missing in the Indian This detour took the steamer to the two barren and supposedly unin- habited islands of St. Paul and Am- sterdam in the southern Indian Ocean, about halfway between Tasmania and Cape Town. Both islands were acquired by the French in 1893. The island of Am - has an area of 25 square miles, was discovered in 1663. About 2000 miles from the nearest land, in cold southern waters, these islands lie In solitary majesty, Am- sterdam has a peak 2760 feet high. The southern extremity of St. Paul is formed by part of an immense crater, round which hot springs bub- ble. They are destitute of vegetation except a scanty supply of grass on which goats and rabbits feed.. On arriving, the Beltana Bred six rockets and sounded its siren. Pas- sengers who thronged the decks figures moving hurriedly about, and the French tricolor being hoisted on the clagpole of the depot. Then a small boat put .out from the island, containing five French fishermen and a dog. The fishermen were pictures- quely clad and gesticulating delight- edly. The three who came aboard ex- plained they had seen for six monthe. When asked what they would like, they modestly replied that their wants were few, but they bad run out of pepper and sugar. When these supplies, and the dog accompanied by a huge ham bone and secured by a rape, had been lowered into the boat, the fishermen departed amid cheers. All on board the steam- er were overjoyed that they had been able to brighten the lives of the lonely fishermen by their visit, although 't meant arriving two days late at Durban.

Advertising and Trade Saint John Times -Globe (Ind.): It is a well-known fact that advertising, attractive, persuasive and coniliell- ing, overcomes many tariff barriers. Price does not prevent purchase even if entranced by duties, provided the buyer is persuaded by publicity that the goods are satisfactory. There is no doubt much truth in the state- ment of the Minister of Commerce that there are many articles of Brit- ish manufacture which if known to the Canadian public could be Duras - ed by Canadian consumers to better advantage thn commodities that are now bought in the United States. The next move seems to be up to the manufacturers overseas if they wish to increase their sales.

A few necessary precautions taken in time is all that is necessary to prevent the annoyance and dan- gers to health which can be safely attribtuted to this pest. Types of Fly The Ales which bother us around the house and at summer resorts are of two main tapes—the house fly and the blow fly; the latter are larger than the house fly and have bright, metallic bodies and make tonsider- able noise when flying, The stable fly is generally found around cattle and borses; in appearance it resem- bles the house fly, but has oe dis- tinguishing feature—it bites and mite blood and is especially active before storms, Control of the Fly Pest When we study the life cycle and habits of files, we know beyond all doubt that to be effective, the work we do to destroy them must be aim- ed at the distribution point, viz., the breeding grounds, There are aev- eral methods of attack: Use of Larvicides (a) Chloride of Lime applied in 107 - era of about % Mali thick on the fresh exposed contents of outdoor privies every four or five days is an effective, cheap agent for destroying the larvae of the blow fly which beeds chiefly in outdoor privies. (b) Crude Coal Tar Distillate— proves a most effective method in the mntrol of the house fly breeding in stable manure, garbage piles, eta. A satisfactory strength is a three or four per cent, solution; this is sprinkled on the edges of the piles wherever the larvae appear. The station is rapid and the results very marked. The blow fly (blue bottle and green blow fly) breed also In garbage, de- caying vegetable matter and pig manure. Sprinkle crude coal tar Ms. tillate (four per cent. solution) over the infested areas. Crude coal tar distillate may be secure() from your druggist. Supplementary Methods (a) Trap—the sone -shaped type Is best; it is so oullt that tbe fly after being attracted by bait placed under. north passes through a small open- ing in the top of the cone into the trap proper. (b) Screens—Wire of twenty meshes to the inch is necessary to keep out house flies. (c) Poisoning—a cheap and effec- tive paison may be made in the home by adding to a pint mixture of milk and water three (3) teaspoonfuls of formaldehyde, This may be poured on pieces of bread placed in shallow saucers.
