T42-1te Pupils Learn of Fire Prevention by Reading Book A volume of "Sparks," a book of poems and short stories about fires written by Valine Hobbs and published by the Pioneer Publishing company especially for pupils of the primary grades in the interest of educating them in fire prevention, was submitted to Supt. Carleton Washburne of the Winnetka Public schools by Fire Chief G. M. Houren recently. After review- ing the book Mr. Washburne ordered a number of copies for the use of pupils of the local schools. In a letter to Chief Houren Mr. Washburne stated: "I have had the book "Sparks" read by a number of our pupils who have then submitted reports on it. The reports are all fa- vorable and we are therefore placing it in our approved list." The com- ment of one of the pupils reviewing the book is as follows: "I think the book should be read by every child. The stories are very entertaining, teaching children the great danger of fire caused by play- ing with matches and taking such great chances without knowing what might happen. I like the story, 'When Wit Was Young' the best of all. It was very exciting, telling of a little boy saving his sister's life. Reading this book has made me very careful "The author could have mentioned the great danger of heating naphtha when cleaning as some think it cleans better when warmed. A friend of Dad's had both arms cut off from do- ing the same thing. I found .one mis- spelled word, 'father® for 'farther,' but liked. the book fine." .* Another pupil wrote: "I didn't like the book when I first started to read it. -But when I got farther along I liked it much. I didn't like it be- cause it was all about fires. It would be a good book for children to read because-it would help them not to play with matches. [ liked the book very much. Chief Houren will also take the book to the North Shore Country Day and Sacred Heart schools in the near future in order that all of the children of the village may have an opportunity to read it. .

Her talk was a part of several on the general topic, "Col- lege Experience as Preparatory to Civic Interest." Representatives of Bryn Mawr, Vassar and the Universi- ty of Wisconsin also spoke.

By Walter Chamberlain (Glencoe Golf Pro) After you have reached the top of your back-swing with your shoulder fairly level and the club not more than horizontal you should feel very much wound up and that you could hit the ball with all your power. You should not, of course, hit the ball as hard as you can, but the feeling must be there. If it is not you have not made the back-swing properly. You may have done anyone of a number of things wrong. Your wrists may have broken upward too soon or too late. Your right elbow may have lifted too high or stayed too closely to your side. There are so many little things you can do wrong, that to the beginner it probably seems as if it would be impossible for anyone to get the swing just right. It is not as hard as it sounds, however, as it is really a very natural hit after it is learned and can be executed faultlessly time after time with practice. There are few people who I have heard of who had not at sometime or other batted at a thrown ball, but not very many have ever hit at an object on the ground, It is not hard to take a bat and swing naturally and powerfully at an object shoulder high. You use the same power to hit a ball on the ground but because it is on the ground it 1s hard at first to keep from getting into a cramped position from which it is impossible to hit. Take a club and wind up as though you were going to beat a carpet hang- ing on a line and about chest high. The feeling of power and ability to hit hard that you feel is exactly what you should feel at the top of your golf swing. Then place yourself at the top of your golf swing and experiment till you find that same feeling, but remem- ber that the shaft of your club must be somewhere near a point midway between the point of your right shoul- der and your neck and the club head should point slightly to the right of your direction line or "lay across the fine at the top of your swing," as it is called. I will explain this more fully in next week's hint. GRANITE FURNISHED AND ERECTED BY J. H. ANDERSON MONUMENT CO. FINEST DISPLAY OF MEM- ORIALS IN CHICAGO 5751 RAVENSWOOD AVE.
