CULEBRA SLIDES
Still NATTER OF
UNCERTAINTY

Uncertainty as to the nature and
extent of the Cluebra slides at Pana-
ma canal has caused the American
Hawaiian Steamship Company to cor.
rect an erroneous report circuited
along the Pacific coast OF the United
States that the company were prepar-
ed to enter into contracts for shipment
by the water route OF the Panama
canal for early July. @
Until the sliding earth In Culebra
cut Is permanently checked, it is de
.clared impossible to operate steamers
through the waterway with any de-
gree of safety or the maintenance of
q regular schedule.
Steaming via Magellan straits, the
PENNSYLVANIA from New York is to
arrive at Honolu from Seattle about
July IL. This will be the maiden trip
of this freighter, which for some time
has been retained in the Atlantic ser
vice. The Pennsyl is laden to
capacity with a general cargo.
General Freight Agent C. p. Morse
states that the Georgian. now in the
Islands, will be dispatched Tor the east
coast Of the United States by way Of
Magellan tonight or tomorrow morn
ing, the vessel now completing ship
ment of $500 tons Of sugar at Eilo.
Proceeding direct from San Fran
cisco, the Alaskan is due to reach this
port on July 8.
Confirmation OF an exclusive story
appearing in the Star Bulletin concern.
ing the partial opening Of Panama ca
nal to passage of commercial liners,
was received this morning with the ar.
rival of the Pacific Mail steamer Ko-
rea.
The Pacific Coast press has much to
say Of the performance in which the
Grace liner Santa Clara figured.
In order to try out the Miraflores
and Pedro Miguel locks of the Pan
anna canal, the Grace steamship Santa
Clara was sent through this portion of
the big ditch. The operation was car
rted out successfully. the locks work
ing smoothly and without incident.
The Santa Clara is the first privately
owned vessel to be sent through any
portion OF the canal The vessel pro.
ceeded from Balboa for New York via
Magellan -.
According to adyices received from
Governor Goethals, the work of clear
ing the canal of the remaining slide is
being rushed at rapid pace, and no
effort win be spared to make 1t pos.
sible to permit the passage of all YES
sells as soon as possible. When Goeth-
ais gives the word it will mean that
the canal will be open to all shipping.

ANGELEN0 SEEKS
MISSING SPOUSE
in THE ISLANDS

Fond of strolhng in secluded and
leaf canopied pathways. a frequenter
of public libraries, reading rooms and
the quiet haunts of chess players. are
few of the directions offered Sheriff
Charles Rose by Mrs. ]. A. Shelton of
Los Angeles, California. who seeks to
gain knowledge regarding the where
abouts of her husband, who is alleged
to have left the woman and family
and is now believed to be a dweller In
the Paradise OF the Pacific,
Mrs. Shelton has also advised the
local police department that her way
faring spouse had embraced the bap-
fist faith and had been, regular at
tendant at one of the places of wor'
ship in the City of the Angels.
Shelton is described as American.
48 years old, 81, 150 lbs, medium COM
plexion, gray eyes. brown hair which
is getting thin, one gold tooth in front.
smooth shaven. Wore gray suit. light
gray hat, black shoes. This man has
been suffering from nervous break
down. Has. been missing from his
home, 1907 Crown Hill avenue, since
April 80. 1919.
Sheriff Rose is asked to seek for
Shelton in the various parks and
breathing places of the city. The wife
takes this opportunity to inform the
local officers that Shelton was not the
kind of man who would be found
lettering about the great white way of
any city. or would he be found in any
questionable resort.
In addition to setting a watch for
the elusive Shelton al the public
parks, Sheriff Rose is now considering
the proposition of detailing number
of his handsome young men to at
tend services at the several Of the
city churches, while the Young Mems
Christian Association chess club will
not be overlooked in the search of
the much wanted husband and father.

The mashie niblfck Is used to get
the ball out Of the bunkers, sand traps
and long grass and for pitch shots
through the green As the ball is
often found lying In foot print or
some other depression, 1t Is necessary
TO have a club weighing not less than
one pound with stiff shaft and .
well lofted face in order to get out
successfully
A heavy club is needed because, In
order to get the ball up, il Is neces-
sary for the club to have weight and
power enough to cut through sand.
In playing shot out of q bunker
the player should keep his eye fixed
upon some spot directly back Of the
ball, instead Of upon the ball itself.
In order to get the ball out of the
bunker it Is not necessary for the
club to come in contact with the ball,
but only with the sand beneath Ii.
Instead Of trying to bit the ball.
| the player should take the club up
almost vertically with the wrists and
arms and should bring It down In the
same way. striking the sand imme-
diately back of the ball.
The club should follow through into
the ground, the wrists Immediately
| turning up to aid In lifting the ball.
There should be practically no follow
through toward the hole as in the use
of other clubs.
Most beginners try to hit the ball
itself, which Is a great mistake.
Others commit the fault Of striking
too far back of II, and the stroke Is
robbed of all its power because Of
the amount Of sand displaced.
Practice is required so that the
player can gauge the exact distance
he should strike back Of the ball
When the ball is lying in long grass
the player should lift the club almost
vertically, as in the bunker shot,
bringing it down directly back of the
, ball, and turn his wrists upward at
the moment of impact This upturn.
ing of the wrists will assist the play
er in causing the ball to rise.
AS the mashie niblick has most Of
its weight in the heel of the club, it
is particularly useful in playing shots
where it is necessary to clear bunk
er guarding green. The weight be-
ing so placed tends to impart a back
spin to the bali, causing it to drop
dead where it strikes.
grip the mashie niblick in the
palm of the left hand and the fingers
of the right. When playing through
the green | press the right thumb on
the shaft as in a mashie shot In a
bunker shot the right thumb is around
instead of down the shaft.
When attempting to clear a bunker
and reach the green the club face
should strike the back side of the
ball, imparting back spin and taking
little turf. In playing this shot
the ball should be about opposite the
left heel and the right foot we'll ad-
vaneed. Both legs should remain rig.
id, the body and head should remain
as motionless as possible and all the
work in making the shot should be
done with the wrists and arms.
