The right hand acts in the swing

player is never conscious of it. Any
time he is conscious of putting the
right hand into the hit, the action is

Definitely putting the right hand in

arm. being stronger. shoves the club
outward, away from the body, so that
at the moment of impact it is showed

hand takes such a firm hold at the
moment of impact that it begins

which turns the club face for the

At the present rate of payment the
American Government will pay off it's

government in the world is doing it as

debt means that much less interest

These savings this year. II is esti

the number of such depositors total

The depOSitOrs found that where dis.

- or later they were losing the best
of the Christmas shopping opportuni
ties. Their money was not availa BILE
until the merchandise stocks in their
city had been somewhat depleted, and
they were forced to compete with the
tremendous crowds which thronged
the stores during the latter part Of
the Christmas shopping season."
Early Season Indicated.
Bankers state that chief factor in
bringing about earlier distribution of
these funds was the fact that in prac-
tically all cities retail merchants have
recognized the tendency toward earlier
shopping, and this season are placing
their Christmas holiday stocks on sale
much earlier than in former years. In
Washington. for example, merchants
this year are displaying their full holi-
day lines earlier than ever before.
A local banker who has watched the
development of Christmas savings
funds in this city stated today that
in his opinion the growth of this idea
would he a considerable factor in

something like that of the chamber.
The significance of the event is that
tax legislation will really be non-parti
san this time with the Democrats en-
deavoring to show that the cut in
taxes can be deeper than recon-
mcnded and with the Republicans
more or less forced to go along with
the Democrats as was the case in the
last session. Both President Coolidge
and Secretary Mellon know that from
the point of view it is much better to
argue for a 1925 100000 maximum in
November and take a cut of $500, 900

than to yield an inch. of ground at this
