SUMMARY

Barometric pressure was rather
high over south-central Canada and
moderately high throughout the
great central valleys this morning,
and moderately low over the Pla-
teau and Rocky Mountain regions.
AS a result the weather was mostly
fair to clear throughout the region
between the Rocky and A%ppalachi-
an Mountains, but cloudy and un-
settled in the western and far east
ern states, where light rains occur
red also within the last "a hours.
Very light, widely scattered show
ers occurred also in the south-cen-
trial states. Temperatures continued
rather low in the northern states
and fell in the central and south
central states since last report.

Super Hosepipe Used
by MALAY Tin "Miners"

One Of the most extraordinary
ways Of extracting metals from the
body of this world of ours is that to
be seen in the tin mines of the Ma
lay States. With the exception of
precious metals, such as gold, silver,
platinum and radum, tin is now the
most valuable In the world. Often
the tin-bearing ground rises cliff-like
from the plain. Mining is then car
ried out not by orthodox methods,
but with the help of a super hose
pipe. This hose throws thin Jet of
water at a pressure of more than 200
pounds to the square inch. Until one
has seen such a jet it is almost i'm
possible to realize what it is like.
The strongest man, for instance.
could not cut through the jet near
the nozzle of a hose with a heavy
sword. If he tried, broken blade,
and probably a broken arm, would
result. The jet is directed against
the face of the cliff, which crumbles
away almost as If it has been blown
up by dynamite.

Gold Production Not
EQUAL to the Demand

A gold shortage is threatening the
world. The peak of gold production
was reached in 1915, tOtaling $780,
100000. Since then it has gradually
dropped until last year only $415,-
100000 worth was produced. No inn
portant fresh discoveries have been
made in recent years and old fields
are gradually being worked out.
There is plenty of gold in the world
for all normal purposes but so much
of it is boarded away in the form Of
money in banks and as jewelry by
wealthy families.
India has absorbed vast quaint
ties of the worlds gold. being hoard
ed by its petty princes and used fot
dowries, bridal gifts, etc. Twice the
amount of gold is heing used in jew.
elry today as compared with 20 years
ago.-Capper's Weekly.

Americas Gold Producer

Ontario can still boast Americas
richest gold producer in its rightly
famous HOllinger mine inasmuch as
that mine has yielded, up to the end
of 1928. gold to the value Of $l45,-
100000. The production of so much
gold has entailed the mining and
the milling of 100000 tons of ore.
The HoIlinger's present subsurface
workings, if placed end to end, would
reach from New York to Albany and
little beyond, a distance of nearly
$50 miles, and its underground rail-
road system has a length of more
than 81 miles.

Motorcycle policemen patroled all
streets near school buildings at Ven
tura, Calf, to halt vandalism Of
children bent on improving their
teeth by chewing tar. Since the re-
port that tar-chewing builds strong
teeth was accepted by the children, re-
peated raids have been made on the
city streets. Tar has been dug from
the joints of the concrete thorough
fares and the city fathers declare
roadbeds have been damaged by the
resultant seepage of water through
the cracks.

local team came back with an air

I SUPPOSED circular of book by some
chap who claimed the discovery Of the
secret of the correct golf swing. The Sc
cret was to roll the forearms over at the
impact!
Motion pictures of the great golfers
show uniformity in regard to the roll Of
the forearms, in this respect--the club
goes back three-quarters of the way be-
fore the forearms roll over and they re-
main that way-cocked, if you like to
call it that-until half way down when
they begin to unroll However, the right
hand is still well under the club until
almost at the impact, when it returns
to the address position and remains so
until the end of the followthrough as
shown in Picture 8.
In the full swing it Is exactly the same
and the rollover of the forearm takes
place at the end of the followthrough,
not before.

To show the different lines Of golfing
thought in the United States and Great
Britain, Golf illustrated Of London IN
recent issue published pictures Of Johnny
Golden and an attempt to analyze Ameri-
ican methods. It reads:
"What this magic movement amounts
to is that the left hand, wrist, and
arm roll the cIub-face away from the
ball in the upswing, and the right hand.
wrist and arm roll the Clubface back
to the BAH in the down swing"
Yet it is 50 obvious to any student Of
slow motion picture photography that both
hands are taking the club back equally,
but-why not leave that to nature?
Furthermore, the hands, wrists and arms
do not roll the club face away from the
ball in the up swing; the turn Of the
shoulders only is responsible for that.
