Is It possible to drive n ball so that 1t will
curve in or out which ever way you may want
II to? II So how?
ANSWER-Yes. but they are among the most
difficult shots In golf and it takes a finished
player to execute them, Generally speaking. II
Is mainly a question of the proper stance and
where YOU hit the ball Tn playing for the slice
you should take your stance about foot back
of where you would normally stand putting
your left foot slightly further from the ball and

Early instruction Necessary


While the small boy learns by imitation
the average golfer, who is probably grown
before he essays his first swing. must learn
consciously from instruction, and the
chances are that unless he is carefully
taught in the beginning, he will acquire
habits that may effectualy prevent him
from ever becoming good golfer. He
cannot learn the correct manner of playing
the different shots from the casual instruc-
ton of a friend whose own form of playing
may be poor.
We hear a great deal about the naturally
good swing, but II cannot be counted upon
There is always something wrong some
where and the adult man who hopes to ac-
quire a good technique at golf must as at
any art. undergo certain amount of pro-
fessional training For that reason, "A good
teacher is invaluable to a club He raises
the standard of play and shows us what
we should strive for
good course and good teacher can
start the new golfer upon the proper road
Some cubs are noted for the number of
good players in their membership. Careful
examination will show that these clubs have
had good courses and fine teachers.

U-Boats Stop Exports
From Holland to u. S.

The total declared value Of the eX-
ports from Amsterdam to the United
states during the quarter ended March
81. 1917. was Sl,s67.535. compared with
ss.4l3.O2g for the corresponding period
Of 1916.
The decrease. according TO Consul
Frank ". Mahin. Is attributable TO the
almost entire suspension Of ocean traffic
between Holland and the United states
since February, caused by the German
submarine warfare. Not only did L
boat ruthlessness reduce the eonsulat-
ing of invoices. but It prevented the
shipment Of large quantities Of goods
Of which the invoices had been CERT
fed Thus. the total value OF the IN
voices certified at the Amsterdam con-
sulatc in the nrst quarter OF 1871 rep.
resents much more than the value OF
the goods actually shipped TO the
United States during the quarter.
The value OF diamonds exported 70
the United States in the first quarter
OF this year was s3.6tl.O1l. which, with
the exception of s5.i5i $3.50 in 1915, was
greater than in any corresponding
neriod for seven years preceding. The
value Of tobacco exported declined IRON
SI.Ol7.3l6 for the first three months o.
1916 to S2sS.s2l for the corresponding
period this wear. being one OF the
lowest totals on record.

Cotton

The cotton market was nervous ana
unsettled yesterday. Uneasiness over
the situation in Russia seemed 70 De
partly responsible for rather active
selling early. Selling was also encour-
aged by the more favorable weather
After decline of about 500. niue
from the high level of Monday, the
market steadied, however and recoV-
cred some II or 20 points OF the loss,
with the close showing net declines OF
TO Il points. July contracts sold on
70 1852 and closed at 1915, compared
with 1885 at the close Of the previous
day and 2O.O3. Mondays high level.
There seemed 10 be selling from
Western sources, and there was also
some selling for Southern account
which was naturally attributed 10 i'm
proved crop conditions.
Talk of an easier tone in marine war
risks was accompanied by rumors that
an increased number OF submarines had
been disposed Of during the last few
DAYS. For the third day in succession
however. no exports of cotton were re-
ported. and the total export movement
for the season 10 date is now under
last wears figures. the amount being
4.747 500 bales, compared with 4,'ol ~ ,
10 this date last season. Detailed
weather reports showed clear weather
over the South, but the minimum tenn
peratures were still rather below sea-
sonable average.
The first government report on cot
ton crop condition for the season will
be published on June l, and its show
ing will doubtless depend largely upon
conditions for the next ten days.
Southern spot markets as officially re
ported were unchanged to % points
lower, with a moderate volume Of bust
ness.
