AEay H. Formby Is a true championship test Of
golf by the best of British standards. 1t looks
out upon the sea and is situated on true links
land The holes at the start and those at the
finish are fat terrain, but most of the course
from the fifth tee to the sixteenth green runs
among high sand hills. One fairway is in what
seems veritable canyon. There is a green on
the homeward half that sits in crater forma-
ton of hills in the fashion of Lake Louise. The
American professionals who went over for the
championships of 1924, which Hagen won at
Hoylake, know Formby well. for it was used in
the qualifying tests that year.
Hagen may be back at Hoylake in June,
seeking his fifth British championship. Whether
he wins or loses. he will not be likely to create
any impression strong enough to dim re-
place the memory of his triumph in 1924. No
one who saw him play the last nine holes in
that tournament will forget, imagine.
those rs minutes of tense excitement, shared by
IL 900 admiring buffers. It was as gallant and
thrilling an effort to make nine holes in SO
strokes a golf gallery looked upon.
IT was late in a gray afternoon and a fierce
wind was rushing inland from the mouth
of the Dee when Hagen drove from the high
plateau where the ninth tee is placed and
walked down into a trough between two waves
OF rolling fairway to pitch his approach over
one of them onto a punch bowl green. When
he had sunk his putt he knew that he had
taken Al strokes for the nine outward holes
On his card were three IS and S. Over the
hills that surrounded the eleventh green, hills
30 high that they are called the Alps, trooped
hundreds Of spectators who had been following
Ernest Whitcombe, Britain's hope. They
brought the news that Whitcombe had finished
with 72-hole total of 302 strokes. Hagan
would have to go home in even 4s-36 strokes
for the last nine holes-to beat him. Some
one-several some ones, in fact-told Hagen
the job that was cut out for him.
Thanks" he said and started out to ac-
complish it.
Now, the last nine holes of Hoylake measure
3,640 yards, and when the wind is blowing
hard they are about as difficult nine holes
as a golfer may find anywhere this bunk
cred planet. The wind that afternoon so
strong that man instinctively bent his head
and shoulders down in walking against it.
Starting home, Hagen was in trouble on each
Of the first four holes, but he got the proper
figures on all but one Of them. Then he faced
those five long holes that are said TO be the
most exhausting finish on any golf course in
all the world-holes known tc all golfing folk
Of Hoylake as Field, Lake, Dun Royal and
Home. Their combined par Is % strokes.
Hagen had to do them in 81. He did. In
doing it he got of two Of the finest shots that
gallery could ever hope to see Straight into

as many women interested IN aviation as there
are men and, although do not wish to seem
to be old-faShioned, 1t does strike me at times
that there might be better things for women to
do than flying around in one Of those ridiculous
looking suits. and certainly a girl does not look
her best with parachute strapped on her back
or even, for that matter, when the parachute
is open. and there Is never any way Of telling
just where q parachute Is going to light and,
I were husband should certainly resent be-
ing called up at any hour Of the day or night
and requested to climb to the top Of some roof
or TAN tree just because "she" was there) whose
duty it is to pilot the planes and here, as I
have suggested, It is necessary to have, first Of
all, good idea Of certain fundamental prin-
ciples in aviation. For example, a good pilot
ought to know what it is that makes his plane
leave the ground and he ought to know, further
more, why it is that his plane stays in the air,
because there are questions which he Is apt to
be asked by nervous passengers at almost any
minute and If he does not know the answer,
it is liable to have a serious effect upon the
passengers morale and, as every good pilot
knows, the lowering Of the passengers morale
can have q very distressing effect upon the other
passengers and even upon the furniture Of the
plane itself. ! remember-but perhaps some
other time would be better.
At any rate, let US take up the question:
why does a plane leave the ground?" To
explain this, let us imagine that we have
plane IN" that wants to leave the ground N"
at point "P," or, as it Is called, the old "NAGP"
problem. Now IT viii be necessary to ascer-

rarsng or lSvering the plane or Is 1t Is called
BY experienced aViators, flying higher Or
lower" It Is important that every beginner
should know how to do not only one, but both
OF these maneuverS and many serious acca.
dents have resulted just because a pilot knew
how to fly higher, but had not yet learned the
converse evolution. In fact, know of no more
annoying situation to the occupant of a plane
than to have the pilot turn to him at fifteen
or twenty thousand feet and confess that he
doesn't know how to get the darned thing to
stop going up. For this reason, incidentally.
it is usually wise for passengers to fill their
pockets with sandwiches and bits of chocolate
or dried beef before taking a flight with an
inexperienced pilot. because 1t may be several
days before they get down again, and hunger
is one of the most fundamental of human emo
tions. speak of this particularly because OF
the unfortunate experience of a friend of mine
named Mrs. x (that wasn't Of course her real
name) who went through the narrowing ex-
perience Of almost being eaten alive by several
hungry passengers on just such an occasion
and was saved only when the plane ran out
Of gasoline and fel $4,000 feet-a narrow
escape.
This brings me to the subject of parachutes,
q recent invention which has done much %
destroy the thrill Of aviation. suppose that
parachuteS had to come, but shall never cease
to regret the good old days when the failure
Of ones motor at $4,000 feet meant an un-
forgettable thrill. Parachutes are after all, Q
rather cowardly way Of avoiding certain
probabilities. Not only that but they SO
unbecoming that It is almost impossible 70 find
anything that really goes with them-a fact
which viii probably limit their usage to avia-
ton for some years to come. Furthermore, M
IL extremely difdcult to dispose Of wornO0S
paxachutes because, IL one gives ones last
years parachute to ones maid or butler, the
next thing he or she win want viii be plane
in which to wear It, and so the vicious circle
starts all over again. ], for one, curse the day
that the things were invented.
FINALLY, let us take up landing The best
sort of landings are those in which the
plane, the pilot and the passengers all land
at the same time and IN the same spot,
although very good "class b. landings have
been made In which the plane and occupants
were scattered at regular distances within an
area Of three square miles. 1t Is usual, in maxi
ing good landings, to pick out some level piece
Of ground. such as q golf course and circle
slowly around it several times. Then shutting
of your motor you take a deep breath and
aim for the chairman of the membership COM
mittee or whatever official happens to be putt
ting on the eighteenth greenland VOLTA, be-
fore you know it you have landed. And the
rest Is simply a matter OF a few weeks or
months in q hospital

 The crowd greeted the fliers with an ovation as, escorted by Governor Trumbull and Mayor Patterson, they made their way to the grandstand and ascended to the platform. They were followed across the field by the municipal reception committee and the First Company, Governors Foot Guard Band.

 Hitler Makes Gains
 The fascists of Adolf Hitler, the Austrian responsible for the notori- ous 1923 Munich "putsch." made astoundingly sweeping gains in vir- tually every section of the country They increased their 12 seats gain ed in the 1928 elections to 1o7. a figure which surpassed even the claims of their campaign managers.
 Communists, at the opposite end of the parliamentary arc frfom the fascists, but with the fascists op- posed to the republic and to ths peace treaties, gained 22 new seats in the Reichstag, jumping from 54 to 76 to become the third largest party in the body.
 Other totals, estimated by the federal election supervisor 2 on the basis of the total of votes cast were: Centrists 69, Nationalises fl. Peo- ple's Party 2e, Economic Party 23. States Party 22, Bavarians IS, Farm CTS League IS, Christian Socialists 14, Peasants Party 6, Hanoverians 5, Landbund 3, Conservative 2, to- tai 573 against 4s1 seats in the 1928 elections.
 Chancellor Bruening's fall might almost be taken for granted today unless he can enlist the collabora- ton of the social democrats. who preceding the elections refused con- tinually to ally themselves with him in most of his important moves.

 Around the position of Attorney general doubt arises. Deputy Attor- ney General Ernest L.

 The only disturbance of custom ary G. o. P. convention harmony may come from the efforts of Pro- lessor Albert Levitt of Bedding, an ti-Roraback candidate for nomina- tion for governor. Levitt has three delegates in the convention. one of whom-George W. Hull of Burling- ton-will nominate Levitt as candi- date for governor and William J. Pape, Waterbury publisher, as can- didate for comptroller, Hull is ex- pected to ask for a record vote on Levitt Rogers
 Levitt's candidacy is acknowledged by himself to be hopeless but he hopes to start a movement which will unseat Roraback from his dual control of politics and power in the state. The professor will attend the convention as a spectator since he was unable to get a place on the delegation from his home town.

 The Question Mark took the air aid circling the field in the over hanging haze as two escort ships warmed up their motors. A few min- utes later Lieut.. Roland Hicks took off in his army plane with Francois Beron, Coste's mechanic Major George Written, manager of the tour, and Rene Recover. who will act as interpreter for the French fiers, followed.
 Reports of poor weather around Hartford had caused the hiers to postpone the start, which had been scheduled for 10 a. m. Shortly be- fore Il o'clock. they decided to take off in spite of second report from Hartford which said a thick fog limited visibility to about three quarters of mile and gave a ceil- ing of only 899 feet.
 The second message from Hart ford said a state inspector of avia- tion had left Hartford in a Moth bi- plane for Bridgeport, where he would circle the landing field as a mark for the fliers.

GERMAN ELECTIONS
 RESULT IN CHAOS

lost 10 seats. The fascists gained s5 and the communists gained 22.
 The likeliest solution of such a situation, it is generally conceded as assuring the government a working majority. would be coalition of the middle parties and socialists, with a possible majority of 32t, against the PA of the fascists, communists and nationalists.
 Such a coalition would insure that Germany's foreign policy would be carried on substantially unchanged, but what compromise might be made between the divergent views of the socialist and middle parties on taxation, employment doles and oth- CT domestic issues would be hard to predict.
 The attitude of the fascists to- ward participation in the govern ment is indicated by the statement of one fascists leader, Paul Roeb- bels, to the effect that they were willing to cooperate providing fas- cists head the reichswehr, Ministry and Berlin police department and that new diet elections are held in Prussia.
 Uneasiness Manifested
 The Boerse today reflected the general uneasir1ess over the situa- ton. The opening was weak on sell ing orrers, particularly from abroad. some shares such as potash, siemens. and Reichsbank dropping 10 points and others slipping from three to five. Banks, however, were inclined to support the market and drastic slump was not expected. Whether or not the new reichstag proves to be a bigger problem than it's predecessor it is sure to be a big ger and more expensive parliament.
 Because of the heavy vote and the constitutional provision authorizing one seat for every 60,oo0 ballots cast. the reichstag will have 575 members against it's previous 4s0.
 Berlin, Sept. IS P-Parliamen- tary chaos, in which no government will be able to survive, loomed in Germany today as a consequence Of Reichstag elections Sunday.
 So extensive may be, the results of the polling, in which fascists and communists, themselves bitterly an- tagonistic, received almost a land slide of votes. that the fall of the present Bruening government-now almost certainty-appeared the least serious of the developments which now threaten.

Morrow to Ignore Wet
 Issue During Campaign

Newark. N. J., Sept. IS P- Dwight w. Morrow plans to ig- nore the liquor issue in his cam paign for United States senator.
 E. Bertram Mott, chairman of the republican state committee said Morrow's campaign would be made on issues of foreign rela- tions and domestic questions, in- cluding unemployment. Liquor will not be discussed because both parties in New Jersey have de- clared for repeal Of the 18th amendment.
 He said the campaign would be opened soon after Morrow returns from Mexico City October 3. A program of five or six speeches in principal cities of the state and tour to meet the voters will be the extent Of Morrow's participa- -tion in the campaign.
