TOO LATE TO SAVE THEM ALL.

Here in Alaska where there seems to be no suffer
ing lack of food etc. it is hard to realize the terrbl
plight of the Russians in the famine districts. Pee
pie of all classes have their own ideas about wha
should have been done and what could have bee
done Various editors throughout the country hav
made their suggestions, trades r. Er regarding tn
Russian famine relief. The individuals in Alaska ais
have their opinions but the following terse state
ment in the New York World is clear, concise an
may strike sympathetic note in the minds Q
Alaskans
No general report has been made on the
progress OF American governmental relief in
Russia but a summary of conditions placed
by Dr. Fridtjof hansen before the League
of Nations Committee Relief gives
ground for doubt that any human agency
can entirely check the famine prevent
millions of deaths from starvation before the
next harvest
According to DR.. Nansens figures
there S3, 900 people on short rations
in Russia result of the crop failure
OF these 100000 suffering intensely
and 1900, 600 will die unless outside help
reaches them. In his opinion it would be
impossible to save all those affected il
the railroads to carry nothing food
destined for the Volga. He estimates that
between and the next harvest more
than enough grain be shipped to take
of from 100000 to Z, 600 persons
If his data and conclusions are reliable at
least 5000, 900 people will die direct
result of the famine.
If Congress had made appropriation
for Russian relief the seriousness
of the situation became apparent, many of
these lives might have been saved. AS it is
the Relief Administration will mil
lions, but it will be obliged to look at
the tragedy of other millions in remoter
districts for which it do nothing because
they cannot be reached in time

DISTRICT IS PICKING UP
Car Shortage, However, Is Retarding
Factor in the Southwest.

Factor in the Southwest.
Kansas City Mo-, Oct. 2S.-Expan-
sion in industrial and trade activity
and a slight rally in prices of farm
products marked the beginning of the
fourth quarter of 1922 in the Tenth
Federal Reserve district, according to
the monthly review issued today by
the Federal Reserve bank of Kansas
City.
Resumption of coal mining opera
lions in September at a rate closely
approximateing the highest peaks of
former years, the report states. has
greatly stimulated other lines of pro-
duction and business.
However the car shortage, which
has dominated the situation in the
southwest during the summer and au-
tumn, is still a retarding factor" SAYS
the report, due to pressure for coal
distribution and an apparent lack of
equipment to enable the railroads to
handle the vastly increased freight
traffic offered.'~
"Just what progress has been made
recently toward a great revival of in
dustrial and trade activity may be
judged by the reports of the financial
activities of the banks in the Tenth
district.
"Figures quoted from seventy-nine
selected banks in the district show
larger loans and discounts, invest
ments, reserve balances and gross de-
posts than for many months, and in
some instances the highest on record.
THE member banks total of loans
and discounts and investments, are
indicative of an expansion of credits
in this district in line with the largely
increased volume Of production and
general business" the report con-
tinues.
There is currency and credit for all
legitimate needs at current rates of
interest"

Control of the Shoulder Movement.

Control of the Shoulder Movement.
When it comes to golf instruction
you hear a lot, at different times,
about the grip, wrist action, the head,
turn of the body and the stance.
You will also hear about the
straight left arm and the right elbow
close in against the side.
1t isn't often that you hear any,
thing about the action of the Shout
ders and yet the shoulders have a lot
to do with the right sort of swing.
than most golfers seem to think them.
They can make or spoil good shots
as often as any other part of the body.
Shoulder Movement.
In the first place I should say the
shoulders are used too much in taking
the club back.
This belongs to the hands and arms.
The shoulder should turn in nat
ural way with the left one dropping
slightly on the back swing. But the
effort here should be a natural one.
Skying is caused chiefly by shoulder
trouble. The left shoulder is raised
during the swing and at this moment
the right one, drops. - The weight is
then thrown too much on the right
foot and remains that way until the
ball is struck.
This means that you are striking
off balance and that the right shoul-
der is too low to let the club thru
properly.
As the right shoulder ducks under
there is then a tendency to hit under
the ball and pop it up in the air.
If you have a tendency to pop the
ball up watch the action of your
shoulders. 1t is quite possible you
will find the trouble right here with
out having to look any further.
The Cause of Topping.
Just as bad~shoulder action is the
cause of much skying, so in the same
way it plays its part in topping the
ball.
I should say first that topping was
mainly caused by a lifting motion
with the body, where the body and
shoulders ara lifted in place of turn
ing as they should with the swing.
If they turn in the right way they
help to keep the head in one place.
If the head is lifted going back the
chances are it will stay that way all
thru the swing. which means that
the right shoulder is going to be too
high when you strike.
If the shoulders are too high or too
low most of the power is taken from
the swing and t--ere is little control
| left.
There is certainly no way to have
] the feeling of power with the Shout

Play in Topeka Tuesday
Here are some interesting facts
concerning Walter Hagen, British
open golf champion and Joe Kirk
wood, the Australian golfer, in con-
nection with their worlds tour"
They have played more than fifty
matches and never failed to appear
for an engagement
Up to the present rain has only in
terfered twice with scheduled
matches and these were played on a
later date.
Gene Sarazen, American open
champion, made a, hole in one, at Col
umbus, while playing in an exhibition
against Hagen and Kirkwood. Hagen
has never made a hole-in-one and
hopes that his first win come during
an exhibition match.
Galleries get more pleasure when
Hagen cracks one on the nose off the
tee and during Kirkwood's exhibition
of shots than at anything else
Hagen and Kirkwood hole all their
puts.

Hagen is the best dressed player in
golf. Gene Sarazen has
attempted to follow Hagen's pace in
clothes but King Walters friends in
sist that Walter is still one up on the
field when it comes to uniforms.
A colony of actors and actresses
at Lake Placid, after seeing Hagen in
action told him that he would go big
on the stage because of his complete
self-control and convincing manner on
the golf course.
Hagen and Kirkwood play 36 holes
at the Topeka Country club Tuesday.
Following the match Kirkwood will
give an exhibition of his famous
trick shots in golf. In the morn
ing they will be opposed by two To-
peka amateur stars. In the afternoon
another amateur will join Chick
Trout, Country club professional, in a
match for eighteen holes.
1t will be an opportunity for To-
peka golf fans to see how their sweet
stickers match up with international
winners.
