kIWANIS POLITICS
 BAN MAY BE ENDED
CeaInia My Lift Taboo of
 Discussion Of Public Affairs

Milwaukee, Wis, June Fl (uP)- Kiwanis international-a civic club in which politics always have been taboo-soon may hear the words Democratic and Republican" men tionsd as freely as club members discuss public affairs.
 The question of discarding the old political rule will be one of the many problems that will be dis cussed in Milwaukee June 23-27 when 1000 delegates, most of them from the United States and Canada. gather for the clubs annual meet ing,
 In an effort to promote fellowship, good feeling. and cooperation, poli- tics heretofore have been banned from the floor of some 1,70o Xii wanis clubs.
 Leaders recently have observed growing difficulty, however. in dis -os su@ uI aIed Su!Ne, pun. sulssno lution of public problems without violating the political rule. Hence ths delegates will be asked to con- sider modification.
 Clubs would remain emphatically independent under the proposal to be discussed at the annual meeting. it was pointed out. The change simply would allow club members to discuss the political element in public affairs that come up for con- alteration.
 Other problems to be discussed by Kiwanians include the care of un- der privileged children. Plans for furthering the clubs activities in this field will be considered.
 Under prevailing conditions most assistance given to needy children by Kiwanians is purely monetary. it was pointed out. Plans will be out lined at the annual meeting looking toward more personal relationship btween club members and children they try to assist. ..

COLUMBUS LOCATED PARROTS NOW GONE Cuban MaCaWs Convinced World
 of Pind-NoW Extinct

Washington. June Fl R-When Christopher Columbus returned in triumphal procession to Barcelona. in the spring of 1493, the gold which he brought from his India" was of Sreatest interest to Ferdinand and Isabella.
 They laughed at the shrieks and antics of his 40 parrots, but it was these birds which aided in latter day proof that Columbus had in reality sailed to new world.
 The gold pieces, which meant nothing. now are museum exhibits. Th4s of agriculture would lik4 to add a representative of the rac4 of parrots to its museum lore. bu4 the birdg have vanished.
 They were known to ornitholo- gist1 of later years as Cuban ma- caws, and were to be found nowhere in the world except in eastern Cuba and in few of the other West In- dies.
 The historians of the day cited these Cuban macaws as proof that Columbus had discovered a western route to India.
 Pietro Martire d'Anghiera, Ital- an humanist at the court of Castile, long . doubter of Columbus' claims was convinced by the parrots.
 These parrots brought from there," he wrote, show that either by proquinity or nature. the islands are . part of India. They nourish popinjays. of which some are green. some yellow, and some like those of India with yellow rings about their necks as Pliny rescribes them.
 ''Of these they brought 40 with them. of most lively and delectable colors, having their feathers inter- mingled with green. yellow and pur- pie. which variety delights the sense not little"
 The best available records show no Cuban macaws have been seen for half century.

Well, Clair, several years ago two

Comdr. G. T. Lynes, who Is now a
member Of the Washington Golf and
Country Club, and very good golfer
was at that time a beginner, who
hardly knew which club to use for the
distance required. To show how little
he knew Of the shots, he took spoon
doubted he could reach 1t with a
mashie.) And he holed the shot for
an ace from the tee. The man with
whom he was playing, Lieut.. James
Lineberry, was a veteran golfer, who
knew all the shots.
Lynes turned to him and said, well,
Jim, don't know much about this
game yet, but I'd like to see you tie
that one" So Jim took spade mashie
and holed the ball for another ace and
O half >on the hole.
You see, Clair, nothing Is impossible
in this game. Would you believe that
the green Of q hole 600 yards away
could be reached In two shots, without
a following wind and the favorable
conditions induced by hard ground?
Well, Clarence Gambler did it in the
1927 open at Oakmont. He hit two
30o-yard shots in a row, but he couldn't
can the putt for g. He got an eagle
4 just the same. And would you be-
lieve that a man could hook a ball
out Of bounds on par 4 hole, and
still score a birdie on the hole count
ing the ball out Of bounds as one lost
stroke? That was done not long ago
at the Washington Golf and Country
Club. No, Clair. nothing is too freakish
to be done in the game of golf. Dis
lance means practically nothing, and
the ball hops around so much it might
end anywhere. It has to stop some
where, and 1t might as well stop In
the cup as anywhere else.

~ YER heard of golf ball being
l. driven from the eighth tee at
Rock Greek Park clear over into
IL Takona Park?
r. Dean Shure, the composer
and orRanist at the Mount Vernon Place
M. e. Church South, who in addition
to being a musician is a golf bug, Is
authority for the yarn. A player name
unknown) drove golf ball from the
eighth tee, a wild hook, which fell
straight through the window Of q sedan
onto the back seat and was driven to
Takoma Park. THE fellow who drove
the ball does not know that he did it,"
Shure says. But he can have the ball
by calling National ATS, although the
present posSessor would like to keep 1t.
The right front window happened to be
the only one in the sedan which was
open at the time. 1t was beautiful
drive, right through that open window
onto the back seat. Nobody hurt, and
no windows broken"
Shure passes on the information that
A. w. Acher of Takoma Park had a
hole in one on the third hole at Rock
Greek Park a few days ago. The hole
is an iron shot of about ITS yards, with
a nigh bank at the right and con-
the shot with an iron club and had
the satisfaction Of seeing it run into
the cup. He is my neighbor," Shure
adds, land does not know that I am
giving you this information. He is also
q most modest fellow and probably
wouldn't like it If he did know it. But
have been observing from time to time
that mention is made of the immortals
who do this wonderful stunt, and
certainly feel that when a modest fell
low does it he is as much entitled to
some mention Of it in the sports column
as the fellow who runs there with the
news before the ball drops" So, hoping
that Acher will not feel badly toward
Shure for telling the yarn of the hole
in one. We print it, feeling that it Is
news, no matter where it comes from.

The point Is to get this right into
the blow in the correct manner.
This is done In two ways. First,
you jam the left foot into the
ground, keeping the leg braced, to
give you resistance to hit against.
Second, you hit through the ball
with all the power your right
allows. But make 1t hit through,
so the right arm keeps straight
until long after contact. It's the
dandelion swing you practice. You
must hit straight on through for
10 inches beyond the ball on the
line you intend to drive it, just as
you must take the clubhead straight
back from the bali on the upswing
for like distance.
Cure that hook or slice. Straight

LAIR M. WHITMAN. the up

~ medalist in the tourney of the

the chief prize is the r. E. Adams tro-

Whitman reports an occurrence
which probably has not been dupli-
Gated anywhere In the realm OF coin
cidences. He tells 1t like this: while
playing in the tournament last Sunday
had an experience which doubt has
been duplicated anywhere. On the
thirteenth hole, which Is a par 8 af-
fair, I had placed my tee shot just
short Of the green and Clipped up TO
the edge of the cup and dropped 1t for
q 3. As I stood holding the nag for
the others to putt, the foursome on the
thirteenth tee drove of. The second
man to drive Il don't recall his nance
played q high shot, which was dead on
the pin, and ! was prepared to step
aside to avoid being hit by the ball.
However, as the ball approached the
green realized 1t would hit short. 1t
landed on the front edge of the green,
took several short bounces toward the
cup and rolled in for an ace as I pulled
the flag out of the cup. OF course. the
inevitable excitement and congratula-
tions were INDUCED in when the lucky
golfer came up to me for his ball.
But that Is only half of the story.

Dandelion Swing
Helps Hit Through
BY SOL METZGER.

BY gradually increasing the speed
of the downswing of the club with
the straight left arm you bring it
into the ball while travelling at its
greatest momentum. That is Cyri
Tolley's idea of hitting of the tee.
But at the halfway down mark he
gets the right into 1t. This right
delivers the punch that adds such
great distance to his drive.
