Az Mao Smith Sees It.

THE right hand Is the strong hand
hitting forward. The big temp
tation always Is to call on this hand
and forget about the left. Yet most
good Rolfers-most Of the crack pros
will tell you they start the swing with
the left hand in eontrol-both the
backswing and the downswing.
Il don't call on my right hand until
Just before the impact" Mac Smith
says MY left is in control through
tvo-thirds Of the swing and the left
stays firm and on the job until after
the ball is hit. The big trouble is
that most golfers let the left hand and
left arm quit on the Job through the
downswing The right hand rushes
into action and there is no flrm left
side, left hand or left wrist to keep
the clubhead in place-where 1t should
be through the ball.
AS one gets older, the main tend
sncy Is to lift the clubhead with the
right hand, using little body turn.
This Is the easier way-but 1t gets
melancholy results. 1t Is much easier
to get proper body turn from left
to right when you let the left hand
start the backswing, finish the back
swing and then start the downswing
Even after this has happened. there
still IL big chance that most golfers
will let the left hand and left arm
soften up or quit just before the club

Practice With Left Helpful.

ONE Of the best exercises the golfer
can take IS to practice swinging the
club with the left hand, leaving the
right completely OF the club grip. He
should do this swinging at the ball
At the start, 1t will be doubly awk
ward. 1t will seem an almost i'm
possible piece of work. 1t will prove
how little you have been using this
important hand in the swing. This
type Of practice not only will make
you left hand conscious, but it also will
build UP the weaker left side. 1t will
get you accustomed to using the left
hand and left arm all through the
swing. z
II you watch any good golfer, you
viii see the nrmness Of his left side
~ the ball Is hit. But when the right
hand takes charge too quickly, one is
almost certain to have the right
shoulder and right side get into ac-
ttcn against 4 weak left side, and this
mean ns q big loss in both direction and
control. II the left side doesn't turn
far enough, one almost Is sure to get
around too quickly on the downswing
and play shot after shot of line to
the left Of the green.
Nichols IL Amazing.
THE left side, featuring hand and
arm, has to be built up for most
golfers. On the mental side, 1t must
come more into the golfers considera-
ton. He must think about its Use
especially in practice-until it becomes
the normal thing to do. 1t must be
built up also on the physical side until
there Il = feeling OF greater power.
For the average person, the right
hand is much stronger than the left
and 1t Is also hitting forward. The
weaker hand and arm must work
backward-and this Is far from hav-
inx . natural feel. Yet there Is lit
tie chance for any steady golf until
your left hand and arm carry out their
part Of the job-All the way through
the swing. One look at Jimmy
Nichols would give you the general
idea much more clearly. The ease with
which he plays every stroke is amaz-
Ing. The distance and the control he
gets Il more amazing still. And he
has only 4 left hand with which to
work.

Commemorative COinsAre
Racket, Says Cochran

listed for sale to dealers at $12.4O
but that the market had been
manipulated so that now the ap-
proXimate price of the collection
is $3.50. This represented a mark
up of nearly 200 per cent over the
original price.
The reason for the increase has
been due mianly to the limited
coinage Of theCe issues. To date,
only 237,250 coins have been mint
ed and the Missouri congressman
said that if the present rate is
mainta ned, it will be 300 years
before the full 100000 are put
in circulation. He said the only
way to stop this racket was for
congress to repeal the law.
Treasury officials revealed that
when congress authorizes special
commemorative coins the mint
turns them over to the commits
sion or agency designated in the
act at face value. The profits go
to the commission or agency. IN
recent laws, the mint has had to
take back some of these coins and,
since they could not be issued as
regular money, melt them up.
Officials cited the case OF the
half dollars issued in connection
with the San Diego exposition.
Congress authorized 250,O00 coins
and the mint coined them. Appar-
emily the market was overloaded
because 10000 were returned and
a request made that they be mint
ed with the following years date.
Of these 10000 coins bearing the
1886 date, 100000 were returned
to the mint.
Thus, to sell 10000 coins the
mint had to make 100000 pieces.
The coins actually sold brought
the government $4,000 while the
cost of minting the 100000 pieces
ran to S2,8O5, coinage of half dol
lars costing $3.50 per thousand.

Washington, Aug. l. U.P)-Rep.
John j. Cochran, D, Mo, charged
tonight that private coin dealers
are profiteering in government
coins through the issuance OF
commemorative coins for centen-
mails and fairs.
Cochran characterized "th2 eX-
ploitation of the nations coinage
system as a racket" and asked hi
fellow congressman to enact a b II
he is sponsoring which would sU3-
pend all acts authorizing issuance
of commemorative coins which
were passed prior to the present
session.
Already 81 bills are pending in
the house or senate for permission
to mint special coins, Cochran
said, and two have been approved.
The first commemorative coins
were issued in 1892 in connection
with the Columbian exposition at
Chicago. From then until 1884, a
period of SO years, Cochran said
that l8 new designs for half dol
lars had been authorized while
during the three years from 1884
through 1886. New Deal congress
es authorized a total Of 26 NV
half dollar designs.
To bolster his point that the

become a racket" Cochran cited
the Oregon Trail half dollar. In
1926, congress authorized the coin

lars up to an amount not to eX-

I'VE decided to stop imposing
our tastes upon Gladys and let
her develop her own. We had
her too busy. AS thought about
it, 1 remembered my own early
summer vacations. 1 had regular
work to do. but 1 was allowed to
create most of my own pleasures.
I remembered long hours OF read
ing - discovering books that 1
learned to love, hours of play, and
gardening in the back yard.
Whenever I got bored, began to
look around for something new
and interesting to do.
Il told this to Tom and he re-
membered the same conditions
with regard to his own childhood.
We decided that we had been
supervising Gladys too much. So
we planned to be ready to share
experiences with her part of the
time, but to leave her many hours
each week when she would be en-
tirely free.
GLADYS had to do some house
work of course. and that kept her
busy in the mornings. During the
