"Yovrs!" said Mr. Field

"a YHlLE Jane Farmer had been consider
w ing for some time breaking off her
w engagement to George Fisher, there
was no particular reason why she should have
chosen this muggy August night to tell him
the bad news. Perhaps it was the weather.
Anyway, the conversation had begged down
and silence was reigning.
Jane made an impatient gesture. then
pulled the engagement ring from her finger
and thrust it into his hand. Here" she ex-
claimed Its over"
Thus she smashed up an arrangement of
seven years standing and, when George, after
staring stupidity at the ring, lifted incredulous
eyes to her and murmured. Why. Jane
why?" she leaped from her chair, twisted her
pretty face into dreadful scowl and cried:
Because hate the sight of you!'
Evening star., 1939-01-29

She ran into her bedroom and slammed the
door. George endeavored to expostulate
through the door, received no answer and
finally, in daze, left the little apartment and
went out into the street. Later he would be
very angry for the time being, he was numb.
George Fisher was a chap who had come
down from Yale in 1927 full of vim and had
accepted a clerks job with Broadbeam Co.

concern. offered opportunities for rapid pro-

In those days George Fisher was lusty
youth who was eager to go places. Being
what he was. Jane Farmer. one of Broad
beam S most efficient and best looking secre-
taries, had been wildly happy when he asked
her to marry him. Life, at the time, had not
got the fellow down
In ten years George had risen, hardly by
leaps and bounds, to be chief clerk His hair
was thinning, he wore spectacles at work and
an air of apology. He had grown what Miss
Farmer bitterly described as a bookkeepers
mustache because he saved minute in the
morning by not shaving his upper lip. 1t had
helped establish reputation for punctualty
which would have gratifed the president of
the company if he had known about it.
If the economic system had hammerlock
upon the young man. he had put up good
fight Under the impression that efficiency
received its just reward, he had become an
authority upon all matters apperainng to
the business and particularly the subject of
Amianthoid.
Unfortunately nepotism was rampant in
Broadbeam. The third vice-president, who
had Georges neck under his heel was cousin
of Tobias Field, the president His name was
Thomas Field and he turned most of his
duties over to George so he would have more
time for polo. Menacing George from below
was a grandnephew of the big boss, who un-
questionably was being groomed for the job
of chief clerk.

1t is truism that anticipation is worse

After George had taken a shower he was
feeling quite well. He took out his shaving

The
SPORTLIGHT
Rolling Feet, Ankles
Essential In Golf
BY GRANTLAND RICE,

LOS ANGELES. Dec. is (N.A.-
N.A0.-Since interviewing Alex
Morrison, golf instructor, on the
Importance of rolling your feet"
or rolling your ankles" there has
been a somewhat steady demand on
the part of many golfers to know
just what he means by this ad-
monition.
How do you roll your ankles?"
How do you roll your feet?" What
help could that give to the golf
swing?" Etc, etc.
On the start Of the backswing
Morrison wants the inside of the
left foot, also the left ankle, turned
or rolled to the right. He wants this
done without lifting the left heel
to any extent. If you bend your
left ankle inward you help to release
the entire left side, including the
left wrist. 1t is a sound way of
taking too much weight off the left
foot at the top of the swing.
Coming up ON your left toe won't
help at all, if the inside of the left
foot isn't turned or rolled.
