making the back swing, that
you are minus wrists altogether.
A good thought to pore over in this
connection is that golf driving ma
chimes, made of steel and springs,
which are observable at golf factories,
do not have wrists. They consist of
a steel post, comparable to the human
body, and a steel arm, comparable to
the human arms. They work with me-
chanical perfection, of course, and
have a fixed style about their bust
ness that should be appealing to the
average player.

these mechanical contrivances espe-
cially commends itself to the average
player, for it is obvious that in their
back swing the clubhead stays abso-
lutely even with the end of the swing
ing arm where the shaft is attached.
That one point about these things
merits the initiative action of the
average player. One of the finest les.

steering gear in running order, put
to sleep all and sundry Controller
bills except the Elections Commit

its legislative business. 1t passed
two bills and one memorial, and de-
feated another bill.
Speaker Smith was kept on the

hand and the gavel in the other

single day. With some advice from
Mr.. Murray, a recess or two and
some direct action on his own part
the wavering ship of state was got
back on its course without much
injury to any of its cargo.

of order that the House could not

ground that the action of the Sen
