forward swing. When the head
moves forward it indicates you
are lunging with the body, and
by the same rule, if you do
lunge in with the body force it
is almost certain you are letting
the body-and your head-go
forward before the ball is
stroked. When you keep the
head still the arms must reach
out after the ball-and that's the
knack of it. "Follow through"
means go through with the arms
and hands, not with your body.
Do that and observe how the
hands roll over. Watch out, in
trying to promote this hand roll
ing, you do not roll the hands
before the clubhead gets there,
or you'll develop the worst pull
you ever looked at.

to fall off below the hole, or IL we
have hit too hard, to keep 1t from
taking the fall until It has passed
the cup.
The mental attitude in which we
approach a short putt has a lot to
do with our success. When we
walk up to a putt of ten or fifteen
feet, we are usually intent upon
holing 1t. We know we shan't fee;
badly IL we miss, so our entire at.
tention is devoted to the problem
of getting the ball into the hole.
But it is quite different when the
putt Is only a yard long. Then
we know that we ought to hole it
easily. and yet we cannot fail to
recognize the possibility OF a miss.
Instead Of being determined to put
the ball into the hole. we become
consumed with the fear OF failing
to do so. Our determination, il we
may call 1t such, is negative. We
are trying not to miss the putt.
rather than to hole It.
One time I was playing with Leo
Diegel in an open tournament in
Atlanta, Leo and were having as
much fun trying to beat each other
as we were trying to win the
LOuTUaHIGuL. In IuS SGCOuQ TOunO
Leo had putt Of less than a foos
to beat me by one stroke on that
round.
Tho grass, Bermuda. by the
way. around the hole was brist.
" and stiff, and i could see, as
Leo stepped up to putt. that
he was intent upon hitting the
back of the cup. Concentrating
upon his purpose, he hit the
ball much too hard, and it
passed over the hole without q
bObble. running at least four
feet beyond. really did not
expect him to hole the next
one. but he did. and we fin
ished all even.
While I favor free, sweeping
swing for putting at middle and
long distances, do not believe that
this method is reliable for the
shorter ranges. The sweeping
stroke is primarily one OF delicacy,
and delicacy is not so much de-
sired on the holing-out puts as
direction.

In a competition Of this Lind II
we could make a careful stoke Dy
stroke analysis OF the play or the
first four or five finishers. believe
we should be able in almost every
case to account for the ultimate
margin within a radius OF four feet
from the hole. II we could go
back and concede every putt within
that circle to the man who finished
second or third. he would likely
prove the winner with strokes TO
spare. OF course. that might be
carrying things a bit too Tar, for
although a four-foot putt appears
simple enough to the gallery. 1t is
rare that even an expert can go IL
holes without missing at least one.
But the waster stroke is not the

TO miss q putt or two, three,
or even four feet seems about
the most useless thing i'm the
world. The texture Of most Of
our greens upon which cOmpe-
titiOns are played Is such that
no valid excuse is offered the
player. In almost every case,
one may have the assurance
that IL struck properly the ball

The greatest difficulty in the
short putt arises out of the fact
that, IL we allow for the roll of
the green. the Stroke must be so
delicate and the blow so gentle be-
cause OF the meager space to be
traversed.
To strike 4 crisp and firm, and
at the same time gentle blow, re-
Quires the very ultimate degree Of
what we call touch, and firm hit
ting is the essence OF good putting.
But for the putter Of less extreme
deIicacy there is always open the

Clean Up The Villages.

During the past five or six months
those villages on the island which are
inhabited by Porto Rican Iaborers have
been with the cooperation of the estate
owners cleaned up by the Sanitary De.
partment. Each one of these villages
has been furnished with one or more
privies to prevent the indiscriminate use
of adjoining yards and fields to answer
natures calls chiefly on account of the
danger of the spread Of H0okwOrm dis
ease not only among the Porto Rjcan
themselves but also among the native
labOrers of the island.
1t is the intention of the Sanitary De
partmpnt with the help and cooperation
Of the estate owners and the inhabitants
of the villages themselves to clean up
all the villages of the island inhabited
by native born Cruzians. Practically
every one of these villages are without
any privy Accommodations and it is high
time in this enlightened era that this
disgraCeful condition be remedied. Why
should the Porto Rican villages be clean
er and better equipped than the native
villages? Why should the Porto Rican
have more desirable places in which to
live? The native Cruzian certainly de-
serves as much care as the Porto Rican.
If the Cruzian has not been accustomed
to privy accommodation and general clean
llness in his village there is no reason
whatsoever why this state of things
should go on forever.
Beginning in a few days a general in
spection as to cleanliness and pFivy &C
cOmodation will be made by the Sanitary
Department and it is earnestly requested
that the estate owners and ihe villagers
themselves give US every help possible
to enable US to establish and keep estab
hsheu a better hygienic standard for all
the villages on the island. These ia
spections will be made in a thorough but
kindly amer in order to assure every

While sundry bleaching, dyeing,

already is apparent that from field
to fabric the cotton industry is es-

it and no step zO0Mld be taken ex-

wealth from which come values ap-

The cleaned cotton leaves the

these are taken to the compress

easy shipment. In this form they
are received at the cotton mills
