Breaking your wrists back
sweeps the clubhead back very
rapidly from the ball. In the
picture is a start-back with
arms, wrists and clubhead even,
and the dotted line "A" shows
where your club would be at
the same point in the back
swing but with quick k-breaking
wrists. This latter of course
gets the clubhead too far ad-
vanced, and at some point you
will be required to get things
in unison again. Better to keep
them in unison.

too we'll known to permit such an infection to be regarded without con cern.
 The weather has been variable lately. and the king suffered chill while walking in the park. The nature of the infection was not known until to-day. when the foi- lowing bulletin was issued:
 His majesty the king is suffer- ing from an attack of sub-acufe bronchitis. His majesty is making slow but satisfactory progress."
 It was not signed. The physicians attending the king are Lord Dawson of Penn, who was with him during his nearly fatal illness two years ago; pr Henry l.. Martyr, surgeon apothecary to the household at windsor, and Sir Nilsson Rees, Iaryn- goIogist to the kings household.
 The king was able to attend to some of his state duties, but great care was taken against subjecting nm nm to any change of temperature. The bronchitis, if not carefully cnecked at the start, might easily develop into something more serious. medical men pointed out.

BRITISH PRISON
 COMMISSIONER
 VISITING STATE
Hon Alexander Patterson Tells Why We Have Pris- on Riots and Why Eng land Does Not

New Haven, Conn, April 2. (UP) Three reasons why American prisons have suffered riots and Eng fish prisons have maintained dis cipline during recent months were given here to-day by the Hon Alex ander Patterson, his majesty's com missioner of prisons in England and Wales, who willNconc1ude a tour of about 70 American prisons at Weth- ersfie1d.
 The reasons are:
 1. Every prison he has visited in the United States is housing more prisoners than it was built or should house according to crimino- logical theory"
 2. The sentences are longer here than for corresponding crimes in England.
 3. English prisoners know exactly when they will be free. There are no indeterminate sentences. This American procedure places too great "a power in the hands of a parole board, subject to various influences. he believes.
 Patterson, interviewed at the home of Dean w. F. Ladd of Yale Divinity school, was about to start for Wethersfield to inspect Connec- ticut's ancient states prison. He was to be guest at Q dinner given by the prison directors. T must say, however. that the food Is better here," Patterson in- terJected. The chief difficulty no doubt Is overcrowding.' One of the chief problems of prison administration, he explained. is the finding of guards "who will ltry to help prisoners rather than alted ego"
 He believed English prisons ob- tained a better class of guards than American because the scale of wages Is higher.

ALBERT B. FALL
 WILL APPEAL TO
 SUPREME COURT
Disappointed at Appellate Courts Decision Must Fight on, He Says, for Sake of Family
By ED WERKMAN United Press Stan C0rresnondcnfl

(UmtCd Press Stan COrrespOndent)
 Alamogordo, N. M.. April 7-(UPJ Albert E. Fall was determined to- day to continue his fight against con- viction of accepting Q bribe.
 T must consider my family, re- iterated the 69-year old man who
 was secretary of the interior in President Harding's cabinet.
 For myself would be willing to
 serve the sentence and thus rid my- self of the worry and bother of this long fight" he said.
 Fall, i'll and disappointed, was at his former ranch home at Three
 Rivers, N. M., last night when the
 United Press brought him a complete
 story of the appellate courts de-
 cision in upholding his fine and con- viction of accepting a bribe in con- nection with oil leases. The former secretary sat in large lchair before the fireplace in the liv- ing room of the ranch house as he read the account of the court ac- ton.
 Nearby sat members of his fam fly, and friends. He had been per- mitted only that day to sit up. He lappeared weak and tired. T want this conviction cleared off the records for the sake of my fam lily" he remarked after he had read
 the story.
 T note the court saw fit to tie up closely my own case with that of Harry Blackmer.
 "That is unjust. I knew nothing |about the Continental Trading com |pany of which Blackmer was said to
 have been interested. Ut would have been far more just |if the court had decided the cases |separately. "But l am not licked. I may be disappointed, but I'll fight this through to the end. 5 Faii said he would have to con- fer with his attorneys before mak- ling any announcement concerning . probable appeal to the U. s. supreme court. the action of the appellate court, he
 T do not want to criticize the courts, but the evidence never did justify the decision. That is why took this case to the appellate court land that Is the conviction which shall force me to carry my appeal to the supreme court. am not hid ling anything and am not guilty. "Some one had to be convicted and h was the one. l always have be- lIieved this a political case In view lof the unusual methods of prosecut- ling used at the instigation of the senate"
 Fall was asked if he would ac- |cept presidential pardon. Petitions for such action have been circulated in New Mexico.
 Under all the circumstances of Ithe present case," he said, 1T be- Iiieve would accept one if 1t were offered"
 Recently Mrs Fall said her hus- band would not accept a pardon from the chief executive of the coun- ltry.
