GENERAL EXODUS STARTS
 FROM CHINESE CAPITAL

London, June ] lPs-A Tokyo dis patch to the Evening News says re- liable reports from Picking state that Chang Tso-Lin, the northern dictator, has definitely decided to abdicate.
 Chang Tso-Lin, untl! the recent victorious drives of the natlonallsts from the south, was the most pow erful war lord in China and was dictator of the northern government havins his capital in the historic city of Picking.
 About B Year. Old
 Chang who is about 5% years old hrst came into prominence as d bandit leader in northern Man churia. He fought for the Japanese in the Russo Ja panese war of l9o4- ) and then joined the Chinese regn- lar army, becoming military gov ernor of Fenstien in 1911.
 .As the central government at Pc king weakened, Chang became more and more independent and after varying fortunes. he decisivelv de feated WI pei-Fu in 1925 but was betra ved by Feng YuHsiang. now a nationalist ally, who seized Picking.
 Nu Pei-Iu is Out
 Feng, however. did not last long III Picking and in the spring of 1926 was overthrown by combination consisting of Wu Pei-Eu and Chang Tso-Iln. Wu Pei-Fu since then has steadily lost ground and is now Nir- tually out of the picture, while Chang took Peklng and has sxer- ,cised dlctatorial power there ever since.
 Peklns, June R-'rhe families of prominent Manchurian officials are beginning an exodus from Pe- king.
 Four special trains left the north ern capital for Mukden last night and another four went out today.

Pinot Properly and Feet

Abe Mitchell, the English star,
has frequently been pointed out as
an example Of perfect economy of
foot action. Abe keeps the ball
on the left foot firmly on the
ground. His left heel comes up
slightly. but not to any marked e.
gree With him there is only a
slight bend of the instep as the
heel is raised. rather than any turn
of the foot, and that anchorage il,
in my opinion, part of the reason
why he is so consistently long and
straight with all his shots.
1t is seldom that a professional
has to pay any heed to his foot.
work, for the pivot IL properly
made will automatically take care
of that
;. The initial movement i'm the
swing Is. or should be, the turn
of the left knee and the turn Of
the left shoulder. Starting them
together will result in greater
smOOthneSs OF the swing and as
the start to turn the left heel Is
hound to come up, lifted by the
turn of the knee.
This turning OF the body Is
absolutely essential because 1T re.

shoulder should be permitted to

ever, to waste any time thinking
about what the left heel IL doing
II the turn OF the knee is properly
made then the action of the foot
will be automatic.
The big mistake made by golfers
Ii that they do not turn the knee
and the shoulder enough, with the
result that both the feet are usually
flat on the ground, heel and toe
alike. If this happens it Is impcs
sibIe to relax and to transfer the
weight, or most of it, to the right

basis Of good golf.

The average player. as I have
found, Is afraid to let the left knee
and the left shoulder turn In
smoothly. This Il shown by a glance
at the way the majority of players
keep the left foot either flat on the
ground, which means that they are
C implicitly tied up before they swing,
or else they get up on the toe ike

whatsoever. Either way Is disas-
