So when a golfer drives a ball down the middle of the fairway and then isn't able to find It, he knows at once that a philly-loo hird has swooped down and gobbled It iip. Since this strange bird Is Invisible, of course, the golf ball becomes Invisible also. But YV. M. Hint of the Cliaflin (Kan.) Clarion hns developed a plan for outwitting the philly-loo. He tells about It as follows: "My method is to use specially prepared balls as bait.y...i'ou take some red and white striped stick candy and dissolve It In hot water, making striped paint. Paint the golf balls with this striped paint and when the philly-loo bird swallows 1 the ball the paint will still be vls- ' ) lble so you can locate the bird. '" "The best way to kill it is to cut out a section from the heart of a tornado, where the air pressure Is greatly reduced by the whirling motion. mo-tion. Armed with tills section of ratified atmosphere you get as close as possible to the bird and throw the rare atmosphere all over him. Then the bird Just flies to pieces and the ball drops at your feet. Simple, Isn't it?" Western Newspaper Unloa. |
