~ v YHY is it," some one asks,
"A/ that fairly good golf
er-that Is, one who can
play close to 80 on oc-
casions-can sometimes possess what
we call the feel to such a degree that
he can hit the ball really well, and then
can suddenly lose all sense of hitting
until he can't play at all? Is 1t be-
cause he can't play while he is think
ing about his swing?"
It seems to me that this question
implies that the better player, or expert,
Is able to play golf without thinking of
anything at all except where he wants
the ball to go. I know good many
fine young chaps engaged in big-time
competition who would be highly pleased
If this were so.
Unquestionably there are times when
Tommy Armour, Gene SaraZen, Horton
Smith and other first-class players oan
play the game Subconsciously. There
are times when they have the "feel'
just as the 80 player may have 1t. But
it Is a fine thing for the average play
er to remember that the most accom-
plished golfer can lose the touch as sud-
denly and for as little apparent reason
as any one else, and that although
sometimes he can Immediately discover
and correct his fault. there also are
times when he is entirely at loss for
a remedy.
And this does not mean that he does
not know how he should swing a club.
But golf Is a difiicult game to play con-
siStently well because the correct swing
Is not a thing which the human body
can accomplish entirely naturally. To
hit the ball correctly the golfer always
has to be under a restraint. I have
always. in my own mind. ikeped this
restraint to that under which trot-
ting or q pacing horse must labor in a
race when he must hold to an artificial
gait, although every urge must be for
him to run like blazeS.
So any golfer may for while have
the feel" 50 that he may think that
he can go on playing in that way
easily and naturally. But the trouble
is that the moment some mental i'm

Imports 6OO,OOO,OOO
Agricultural imports for the
last six months were 100000, 900
Mr.. Legge said. He pointed out
however, that it is not the
volume that brings distress to the
American farmer.
It is the fact that these i'm
ports hold the American farmer
down to the cheap price of the
imported product, forcing him to
cut his costs down to meet these
low levels.
Many items in the markets to-
day are really below the cost
of production, the farm board
chairman pointed out. and rep
resent the farmers attempt to
liquidate his assets and get any
thing he can out of his crops.
Dairymen Hard Hit
The dairy farmer is injured by
the importation of palm oil, Mr..
Legge declared, as this is q COM
pOnent part of margarine. Yet
palm oil comes in duty free.
BlackStrap molasSeS is another
item pointed out by Mr.. Legge
as coming in with practically
no duty. Yet this molaSses is
used to make legitimate industrial
alcohol. 49,
If sufficiently high tariff
was placed on the molasseS, he
said, the farmers would be able
to sell their corn for making
alcohol. This alone would use
$4,000 bushels day, he estimates.

Passage of Bonus
Due in Senate Today

Prompt passage of the $780,
100000 bonus loan" bill, without
amendment, was the slogan on
Capitol Hill today as the Senate
prepared to give the measure an
overwhelming Endorsement against
the wishes of President Hover.
The Presidents opposition, in
terpreted as indicating he will
veto the bill, made no impression
on a Senate anxious to increase
the borrowing capacity of the
bonus certificates from 22R to
80 per cent.
Friends and foes of the mea-
sure were ready to vote during the
day, although several no Irs will
be required to exhaust debate.
The only opposition came from
Administration Senators, who re-
iterated the Presidents protest
that the bill would require q
large bond issue and disturb busi-
ness and banking conditions.
This was the public position Of
Administration leaders who under
took to back up the President
and Secretary of the Treasury,
Andrew w. Mellon. Privately,
they hoped the bill would pass
and be signed by the President,
SO that the bonus issue would be
removed from the economic hOri-
ZOn and kept out of the 1882
campaign.

Mahatma Refuses to Call Off
Disobedience Strike; Will
Insist on All Concessions

BOMBAY, Feb. 10 G.N.S).
Mahatna M. K. Gandhi's next
move in India was awaited with
interest today after his two-day,
"man-to-man" conference with
Lord Irwin, viceroy, which ter1ni-
mated yesterday.

optimistic than after the first
days discussion, but gave the i'm
preston that q halt was called
in order to permit further con-
sultation with his own lieutenantS
and consultation by the viceroy
with London authorities.
DiSObedience Continues
From Gandhi's close friends it
was learned, however, that the
Indian civil diSobedience move
ment will not be called off until
the Karachi session Of the India
National Congress next month
If it Is called off then"
It was intimated by informed
sources that this was Gandhi's
answer to Lord Irwin's proposal
that the Indian congress with
draw its boycott Of British bust
ness in exchange for release of all
political prisoners and lifting of
viceregal repressive ordinances.
The Mahatma, according to in
formation, Furthermore flatly re-
fused to recommend a cessation
of the civil disobedience campaign
unless and until India's irreduci-
BILE demands are satisfactorily
met"
Uses American Car
Aware of the economic crisis
threatening Britain at present,
Gandhi seems determined to press
his advantage to the utmost and
extract all possible concessions.
The viceroy placed well-known

posal during the conference at
New Delhi, but Gandhi continued
to make use of the small Ameri-
can motor car, which he uses in

modify prices of the last few
years.
The investigating committee,

The members were impressed by

receiving the same price for milk
that they have been receiving for
