''Chin Back" Keeps the Head
From Interfering With Golf

ship, but 1t did serve to prevent our
hands becoming tender. But hammer

best, and finally Joe began to do some
Of his famous trick shots, and, OF
course, tried to follow him. Naturally,
there were very few could accom-
plish without more practice than we
had time for.
DUT one series of shots which Joe
~ introduced to me shed a good bit
of light on this question of the
position of the head. These shots were
played with an iron. Three balls would
be placed on the mat, in line, and Joe
would hit the first while looking di-
rectly behind him, the second while
looking into the eye Of an observer
standing directly across the ball from
him, and the third while looking In the
direction in which the flag, or objective,
would lie. That looked fairly simple
after locating the first ball, so had
go at 1t. After a few trials could hit
the first ball looking down the deck
away from the canvas, and the second
looking at Joe standing at the other end
Of the mat, but the third, looking into
the canvas in the direction of the flag,
I could never hit nor even make a re-
spectacle pass at it. With my chin to
the front, found it impossible to turn
my hips or to swing the club back at
all. The most could do was to lift
the club up and back at the ball.
Alex Morrison. more than any one
else, I think, has harped upon the
chin back" idea. I am convinced that
it is sound, for 1t places the head in
position where it will not tie up the
rest of the BODY either on the hack
swing or in the act of hitting the ball.
Whenever you see a flrst-class golfer
hit a ball. watch his head. You will
find that he either starts his swing with
his head cooked or else he turns it for
a few inches as the club goes back.
And it won't make any difference
whether he is 'left-eyed" or right
eyed"

The District Commissioner are
considering construction of pedes-
trian underpasses near schools
and along busy thoroughfares as
a means Of eliminating traffic
hazards.
The underpasses were recon-.
mended by Capt. H. C. White

In plans for the development Of
a colored section in the vicinity
OF Twenty-sixth Street and Blad-
ensburg, Road Northeast. The
recommendation, which was ap-
proved, pointed out that an un-
derpass was needed for school
children and pedestrians at the
intersection since Bladensburg
Road was to be improved and
wldened and would become one
OF the most traversed highways
IN the District.
Consideration is being given to
construction of underpasses be-
meath Pennsylvania Avenue from

an unnamed Government scientist who wanted

The poison in question, red SQuill has beer

Dispute Deer Honey.

GERMANY is highly particular about its
honey; too particular. in the opinion Of
honey experts of the Department of Agricul-
ture, when a standard is set up to govern the
importation of honey
Many shipments of honey from this coun-
try, which passed as pure and not over
heated have been barred out in Germany
because of the low diastaSe content The
diastase is an engine which has the power Of
breaking down the starch in the honey to
simpler and more easily digested products.
German experts believe this to be necessary
to make proper food of honey. Federal ex-
perts in this country disagree however con-
tending that there is q SUFFICIENT content OF
engine ferments in the human system to
take care of the starch in honey, without the
honey itself supplying any.
very definite relation has been found be-
tween the pollen content and the diaStase
content. and the darker the honey the greater
the count Of the latter. Exhaustive tests car
ried on in this country and in Great Britain
have proven beyond doubt that many honeys
known to be absolutely pure have fallen far
below the diastaSe standard of the Germans
Particularly is this true of California orange
hOneys and alfalfa honeyS, yet these honeys
are pure and unadulterated
About the only thing for the American honey
producer to do. however, in spite of the re-
suits of the research, is to submit his export
honey to tests of diastase content before ship
ping. for the German officials remain obdurate
in their standards, and will allow no honey
to fall below the rigid restrictions which have
been set.

4 Tie BRIDGE Forum

IN planning the play Of hand, after the
original lead has been made, there is
sharp contrast between the methods
~ used for a no trumper and those for
~ suit declaration In the case of the no
trump the declarer should count up his sure
winners in each suit, add them up to see how
many more tricks he needs, then study each
suit again to locate probable or possible win
ners and consider ways and means of develop
ing them into tricks.
AS rule, if enough sure winners or set-up
tricks in sight, such as four club tricks,
three diamonds and two hearts. those nine
tricks should be run at once especially if doing
otherwise can in any way risk game or the full
fillment of the contract, If the certain tricks
in sight less than the needed total the
player must choose from among the various
probable possible additional tricks. In doing
this he will not only consider the likelih 1od
Of getting his extra trick or tricks in a particu-
- lar way, but will think of the risk involved in
one way compared to another An example
Is this hand:
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1931-02-15

nents' suit would give his partner a perfect
picture Of his hand. East then would know
from his own holding that the first heart bid
a psychic.
Others would recommend two hearts by West
the heart. and when East answered
with two no trump West would call three
hearts.
How would you bid and play the following
hand on which neither side Is vulnerable?
