Motion pictures Of golfers In action

them more closely. writes p. A. Vale

lieving all that the movies" show
them.
Camera is Liar.
1t is an old gag that the camera
cannot lie. Well, We all know that Ii
not only can, but does. We also know
that the moving picture camera has
the ordinary camera beaten out of
sight as a prodlgious liar.
/ am led TO these remarks by a rec
objection of some moving pictures of
Harry yardon, whose play p~ersonifes
golf form, II anybody's does.
This great player is shown clearly
dragging his hands away, In the up
ward swing before the clubhead has
left the ball.
Now. It might sound foolish merely

to say that / do lot believe the pic
lures give a correct representation OF
what takes place. Therefore. let me
give an illustration OF the ability of the
ordinary camera as a liar.
Anyone who cares TO may see in
Great Tennis Players" several pie
lures Of players serving or smashing
with the racquet having a most pro.
nounced bend forward.
Trick of Shutter.
Anyone with any common sense
must know that If there were my bend
TO the racquet at all IT would be back
ward, yet here the camera shows II to
be clearly a forward bend, and mark
you, these pictures were taken at the
rate of one twelve hundred and fifth
eth of a second. II Is merely a trick OF
the focal plane shutter.
Therefore, do not implicitly accept
any moving picture evidence Of golf
form that is repugnant TO reason or
the best teaching without most thor
sitting the evidence.

CARE OF FRENCH WAR ORPHAN
Araonne AssocIatlorfs Plan May 30

A plan for the care and training OF
French war orphans, worked out by
the Argonne- association, an organlxa-
ton formed as a permanent memorial
10 the Americans who fought In
France, is said to be functioning so
satisfactorily that a similar organiza-
ton may be formed for the care of
orphans In the United States.
The Argonne association was fc~med
In 1918 by a group of America In
terested In French orphans. II has as
Its motto: ITO provide for the child
who has no parents, a home and a
family life; to secure him his birfh-
right of health to educate him and
train him TO earn a livelihood; to de-
velop his character that he may be-
come a useful and an upright citizen
and to do these things so well and so
economically that others shall follow
this exnmple-is the aim Of the Ar
gonne association"
The orphans cared for under the as
so%ciation's plan are placed IN private
homes in a community where they are
really wanted. They are not Harmed
out" There In a community school,
playground and vocational training
center where the children are daily
brought together to get their mental
and physical development. There are
three such centers In France where
the orphans are given three distinct
