A hurried, jerky backswing. follow
ed by a hurried downswing, often
causes a player TO extend the arms
too far, with the result that one hits
the ball with the shank. that part of
the club-head that bends into the
shaft.
To avoid this, it is advisable to keep
the arms close to the body. Bobby
Jones keeps his arms SO close that at
times he brushes his trouser legs.
1t also would be we'll to check up
on the wrist action. Where there is
no wrist action. golfers attempt to
make up for lost power by swaying
action of the body. This causes one
to throw the club head beyond the in
tended path.

United Press Stan Correspondent)
 New York, Feb z4--(UP)--A picture of 90-year-old oliver Win dell Holmes. who resigned recently from tho supreme court bench, as man possessed of a diamond edged wit, reader of innumerable dective stories, and as "the most universally beloved personality in contemporary life." was etched to- day by SIlas Bent. who has just completed a biography of the great Jurist.
 Tn n series of intimate interviews the first and only interviews Justice Holmes ever gave. Bent gathered the material for his book. to be published on tho retired justices 91st birthday March 8th. Today the interviewer was interviewed.
 There seems to be a popular opinion," Bent explained, "that Justice Holmes is a cold remote person, whose mind operates in a sort of semi-vacuum. Such an opinion is all too false. have never talked with q man whose mind was sharper, whose wit was 80 quick and to the point, whose philosophy was 50 tempered.
 "They tell the story that he once hade q dream in which the lord appeared to him and told him that he had only five minutes to live. Justice Holmes dreamed that he answered, Lord. can't you make 1t ten?'
 Tho son of the man who wrote "The Autocrat of The Breakfast Table" is an unsuitable reader. and he goes to the classics in their original tongues. whether they be French or German, Spanish or Italian, Latin or Greek.
 But he confessed his passion for detective stories:" said Bent. He said that ho got to reading
