ganized today a concerted move on
the capitol to submit to the senate
10 national women's organizations
endorsement Of the pact.
Armed with more than ten
thousand resolutions adopted in all
parts Of the country in the past two
months 33 state delegations ar

on those senators who are signers Of

Sure OF Ratification
"There are certain men IN the
senate who do not like to have
things happen quickly" said Mrs.
Carrie Chapman Gait. chairman of
the conference and leader of the

day will come when the question Of
war and peace will be a. outworn as
woman suffrage or slavery"
More than a thousand Of the
resolutions which 1t is hoped will
persuade the senate to ratification
were from Pennsylvania. Minnesota
was second with 1872. and Michigan.

tinued to urge a cautionary policy.
There was practically nothing in

back swing. That cannot be done.
In the back swing the wrists
simply move, with the arms,
simultaneously with the club
shaft. Near the top, going
back, the wrists bend back
some the best practice Is to
let them bend back just enough
to take up the slack. Note
here, however, that this taking
up of the wrist slack is ac-
complished at or near the top
Of the back swing. The re-
verse of that action is this:
You move forward with the
club, with the wrists still
cooked" and they stay that
way until, reversing the back
swing action. you let the wrists
60 at and through the bottom
arc of the forward swing. A
retracing of the back swing
action, you will note, would re-
quire you to work your wrists
first, starting forward, and then
swing in with the club. Be
sure you get clear in your
mind the difference between
reverse action and retracing
action. Al true reverse action
is what You want.

were and of the whole lot, he
can foresee only Gehrig and

Athletics chasing the Yankees
off the trail are qualified.
Philadelphia's strength will be
intact, Peck believes, only if
