WAIT FOR DOCTOR
BEFORE MOVING OF
ACCIDENT VICTIMS

When the Minnesota State Medical
Association meets late this month one
important section of the program will
be devoted to a demonstration for the
benefit of state highway patrolmen of
the best methods for giving first aid
in automobile accidents.
Some of the information to be given
to the patrolmen on this occasion
should be part of the knowledge of
everyone who drives or walks on the
highways, says today's weekly bulle-
tin from the Association.
You may be first on the scene of a
serious highway accident tomorrow"
says the bulletin. THE first thing to
remember, if there are any serious
casualties, is that they must not be
moved.
"The great temptation is to move
the injured person, to pull him to the
side of the road, or to the grass, or
to a nearby house. The temptation
should be resisted because there may
be bad fractures as well as other SER
ious injuries and the less handling the
better until expert aid arrives. Allow
him to lie flat where he has fallen
until the physician and ambulance
arrive. A coat may be folded under
his head for greater comfort
The number of serious head injuries
is increasing with automobile acct
dents, the bulletin points out. FIRE.
quently they are of the very obvious
kind of impact fractures" with deep
wounds, with bleeding from the nose,
mouth or ears and with swelling of
the cheeks and eyelids. The most
inexperienced will heed these signs
and hasten the victim as soon as pos
sible to the hospital.
There are serious brain injuries
that give no such signs, however, the
doctors warn. The victims appear at
first to be only slightly dazed or they
appear to regain consciousness with
out much delay after the accident.
In view of the fact that the majority
of victims of simple conclusion do
recover completely, they may be dis
missed and neglected.
1.-The best rule" they declare, "is
to take every accident case that shows
the smallest signs of head injury di-
rectly to the hospital where he may
have expert watching and care.
eff there is an open head wound
and expert help is not Immediately
available, alcohol may be applied to
the wound-not iodine-though no at
tempt should be made to clean it. A
sterile bandage can be applied and
over that towel bandage as a pro-
lection. An ordinary towel will
serve. 1t can be pinned around the
head or held in place by means of a
strap under the chin"
eff the accident victims pulse is
very fast and his skin cold and wet
he is probably what the physician
calls in shock Cover him as closely
as possible with robes and blankets
until help comes to preserve the body

Hit Drive Slightly Upward
To Obtain Length and Roll,

ward blow as is consistent with good
control.
DUT the accurate iron shots and
- pitch shots which bite into the
green must be struck downward.
One rarely sees good iron player
who does not rip into the turf in front
of the ball. The impression is gained
that he has squeezed the bail against
the ground in sending it away, al
though this, of course, is not the case.
The lofted club even moving hori-
Zontally, parallel to the ground be-
meath the ball, if it contacts the ball
below center will produce some spin,
but this effect is exaggerated by the
downward blow.
Apparently this last Is one of the
hardest things for the average player
suppose, for him to think that the
very high shot will always stop quickly.
As a matter of fact this is not so.
If the green's are soft and well watered
the shot with plenty of elevation will
stop quickly enough, but it does so
merely because the ground holds it.
Any such delusion as this will be dis
spelled with sad experience to him
who entertains it whenever the putting
surfaces become a little bit dry and
firm. When that condition exists it
Is spin and spin alone, which will do
the work
So for length and roll hit the drive
slightly upward, and for accuracy and
quick-stopping strike the irons and
pitches slightly downward. But also,
when playing irons, trust the loft of
the club little bit. 1t rarely needs
any assistance in supplying elevation
and it seldom needs a great deal in
producing spin. In ordinary cases
enough back-spin can be had without
any drastic measures. The loft of the
club, directed slightly downward, and
meeting the ball below center is enough.

quest to Bobby Jones, in care of The

DY BOBBY JONES.

r SUPPOSE that almost every golfer
has recognized the queer perversity
of golf ball. At any rate I have
heard no end Of complaints that the
pesky things would run when they were
wanted to stop, and they would stop
when they were wanted to roll-full
drives that stop dead and delicate
pitches that run as though the devil
were in them. The average golfer gets
his backspin just precisely when and
where he does not want it.
This is another case of not knowing
what he is supposed to do with the club
head. Merely knowing. of course will
not give him the ability to play the
shots, but it will put him long way
along the road.
Every decent golf club has some loft.
We do see some drivers and putters
with perpendicular faces, but I do not
class these as decent golf clubs. When
the face Of the club comes in contact
with the ball there is a certain amount
of friction or gripping between the two
surfaces. The face of the club exerts
two kinds OF forces-or at least forces
in two directions upon the ball-one
tending to compress the ball and pro-
pei 1t forward, the other tending to
produce spin. The only case in which
the force tending to produce spin is
not exerted occurs when the club head
as 1t meets the ball Is moving in a
direction exactly perpendicular to the
plane Of the club face, or, in other
words, when the ball is taken on the
upstroke. am not considering the
topped or half-topped sho..
NOV, Tor some reason, most golfers
y when swinging a driver hit the
ball downward blow, and the
same players when swinging me- shie-
niblic strike the ball upward In this
way the results which they complain of
are inevitable. If they do not top the
drive, the downward blow merely in
creases the tangentlal force tending to
produce spin. and if the shot is fairly
struck it will rise abruptly toward the
end of its flight and drop dead.
In playing pitch shot suppose the
natural desire is to lift the ball into
the air, with the almost unconsciously
cherished idea that the loft of the
club needs some assistance. Taking the
ball on the upstroke in this way directs
the force of the blow more nearly to-
ward thescenter of the ball, and dimin-
ishes accordingly, if it does not remove
entirely, the resultant along the periph-
cry Of the ball which would produce a
backspin.
The longest drives are hit slightly
on the upstroke. The loft of the 0rdi-
nary driver is very little, SO that only
a slightly upward blow is needed to
make the spin-producing force almost
negligible. Yet think that the driving
swing should strike as much of an up-
