TIL. IS, 100000 WOMEN
WHO CAN VOTE,

/ When women were given the RICH,
up politics. Perhaps they have
here and there; but the cleanup has
not been 100 per cent perfect. Per-
I haps hat is due to the fact that not
more than IS or 40 per cent of
women eligibles have gone 10 the
polls.
OF the 100000 American
citizens eligible TO vote in the presi-
dental election of 1928, fully cS,-
500, 900, or AZ per cent. are women.
II in this presidential election issues
were presented in which women
were specially nterested--some
moral issue like the right to sell
hard drink - national politicians
say that the potential women voters
could be relied upon to line up on
one side. while the men would be
divided. The result, they say. would
be decided by the women. That is
one reason. so the word comes from
political headquarters, why the
party managers are not over eager
to indulge in too many moral issues
la Il -.
tons are much safer.
The opinion once held that when
women voted they would become
officer chasers has not held good in
the light Of events. A commentator
close TO political Washington said
it all in the following neat para

Told her he'd made wish
And hoped it might come true some

So thrice he kissed her meath the

And talked of love, and fate.

which is expected to shed further light

Knock the legs out from under a
pitch shot and your ball will hold
the green. That's Macdonald
Smiths idea, and no one plays a
better approach. Fe followed him
a few years ago wher he was stag
ing his remarkable comeback. the
most astonishing one in the history
of the game, and marveled at his
ability to toss mashie approaches
pretty close to the pin from 140
and $50 yards away. One such shot
struck US above the others, as
there We're two levels to the green
with a slope between. Smiths ball
came down on the upper level, took
a few short bounces and trickled
down the slope to within feet of
the pin. He rolled a birdie on the
hole.
Smiths advice is to knock the
legs out from under a ball on such
a shot, and that expression aptly
describes just what he does. He
plays his mashie shots clean, TAX
ing little divot, really only cutting
the grass. Most of the other~pros
get their backspin by taking turf
after contact. Note the diagrams
above explaining the method used
by Smith. He really cuts right
under the ball, knocking it's legs
out from under it.
