despite or because of governmental
control, depending upon your

tearer of turf. Even when my
drives are all right, get within

might just as we'll be in China.
1t takes me two shots to get 300
yards. Then it takes me six
more to get that blasted ball
into the cup.
There must be something
wrong" replied Diffenbaugh.
"Let me see how you hit the
ball?"
WhackS One Into Rough
The duffer placed the club
head behind the ball nicely and
took the club head back slowly,
but somewhere in the downswing
something happened and what
started out as if to be real good
swing developed into smothered
shot that started straight but
hooked viciously to the left and
ran into the rough-where the
rough will be when spring time
and flowers return to the land.
Then Diffenbaugh described the
buffers faults and planned rem.
edy, as shown in the pictures in
the adjacent columns.
In the first cut, Roger Peacock,
Of Indian Spring has swung his
1nashie through for a pitch-and-
run shot to the green. The high
speed lens stopped his club at
the instant of impact with tn e
ball.
Played Off Right Foot
Notice in this photograph that
the ball is played off the right
foot, about on line with h e
right heel. Peacock is standing
close to the ball without crowding
it. His hands come through
clearly. lifting the ball enough
to start it on its journey to the
pin. The good golfer shoots for
the flag, not for the green. The
hope of every good golfer is to
get within one-putt distance of the
cup.
Notice that Peacock's head has
not moved. His left arm is
straight, and you can see three
knuckles on his left hand. He
has preserved the correct form
through this important short shot
that cuts strokes off scores.
Real Perfection Shown
In the second panel Peacock is
shown smothering a shot. You
will notice that the face of the
club is turned to the left, and is
not Soled properly. You will no.
tice, too, that the hands have
come in slightly ahead of the club
head. This destroys the timing

that some individual will decide not to wait for

shooting or sticking on his own. When he says,
hate" they hate in count, and when he says
quit hating" they quit.
Curiously, nobody seems to give the slightest
thought to the question of what the British people
will do. But the British, though they did not hate
the Italians with corresponding vgor, undoubtedly
have begun to get filled up on propaganda against
them. They might remember long after the Italians
have decided to let bygones be bygoneS.
This demonstration should leave one lesson with
the people of other lands. They have how the
Italians be made to blow hot cold at a word Of
command and should remember not to take insults
too much to heart if the Italians turn them.
Remembering that in big office in the big palace
the master mind is regulating all this with a

But let it be remembered too that the Italians
weren't really bloodthirsty AS their hatred made
them appear in this. They haven't been asking for

else was using where they could grow some broccoli

Your Health
by DIR. MORRIS FIsHBEIN =

THE average person consumes far too much pro-
Il tein with his food daily.
Of course your body has the happy faculty Of
getting rid of excess protein without much trouble
and it is safer to have liberal supply of protein
than an under-supply. But if you want to regulate
your body weight, you should also regulate your
diet in relation to the amount of protein you take
in your food.
Experiments indicate that man who weighs 154
OF protein every day If he weighs less he needs less
protein. If he weighs more, and wants to keep
weighing more he take protein.
CFor the purpose of easy calculation, when you
buy your food, there are about asa grams to the
pound, or about % to the ounce)
When We study The amounts of food that most
Americans eat we find that they take 106 grams of
protein every day, instead of A.
ONCE protein food is generally more expensive
~ than carbohydrate food it is more economical to
carbohydrates for fuel or energy value and pro-
teins for body building and tissue repair.
Children require more protein, in proportion to
the double purpose of maintaining their body and
child requires two or three times as much food as
grown man does for each pound of weight.
If the amount of protein you eat is much in
cess of what your body requires, the is elm
mated through the proper organs although a part
of it may be burned up in the body and used as re-
serve fuel
Actually one gram of protein or one gram of car
bohydrate will yield about four calories of energy
when burned in the process of digestion in the body.

Chet among these is one: Is the earth the only in

The answer varies with the year. AS new expert

E>OR quite some time astronomers were inclined to
look more and more favorably upon the notion
that other planets in solar system might be in

1t is perhaps fair to say that recent observations
upon the atmospheres of the planets made at Mount
wilson and elsewhere, definitely rule out all the
planets from consideration except Venus and Mars
In the case OF these two the looks less proms-
