BERLIN COUPLE BOASTS
OF TAKING APARTMENT
Scarcity of Such Quarters Leads to

Correspondence of the Associated Press.
BERLIN. N.-AHans and Liselotte Horst,
young Berlin couple who were married
about a year ago. sent out an unusual
notice to their friends. Besides their
names and address, II bore merely these
words:
I'VE have an apartment"
This is perhaps the first time that
special cards have been printed and
sent out to announce so prosaic a fact
as renting an apartment. 1t has deep
social significance. however. Apartments

thousands Of couples must continue for
wears to live with their parents or in
separate boarding houses.
Under these circumstances, the JOY
of the Horst couple at finding an apart

'klcin's Backswing
Model for Dubs

Willie Klein starts his irons back
with a straight left. as does every
good golfer. but there is already
a slight roll to the wrists at the
quarter mark. although his body
has not pivoted at all. In fact.
Klein does not begin to show body
pivot until his club Is half way back
as in the drawing on the left. 1t
is noticeable here that the pivot Is
greater at the shoulders than at the
hips. thus permitting the hip slide
Just before contact, noticeable trait
among fine iron shots that permits
them to get their weight into the
the blow.
There Is a struggle among buffers
in the first half Of the backsWing
we'll worth noting here. In attempt
ing to keep the right elbow In at the
side as they go back they fire.
quently pivot the body too early.
The result Is they lift the club up
too straight from the ball and have
difficulty on the downswing In con-
trolling it. This too rapid pivoting
causes one to hit down on the ball
or to pull the club face through
with toe turned In, a sharp hook
resulting.
Don't pivot 80 quickly. Let the
left arm take the club face straight
back farther and low until 1t forces
the pivot. That will aid your iron
play greatly. Practice this. II you
are Winter bound golfer. In your
home at odd times. You can solve
many golf perplexities in this way
without even hitting a ball.
