Golf Advice
By Sam Snead
UPHTIT, LIE

Take your usual playing
stance but bend your left knee a
little so that you can keep your
balance fairly level. Keep the
weight we'll on the left foot to
resist tendency to fall away
and miss the shot. You usually
get a hook from an uphill lie,
so you better aim a bit to the
right of the intended line.

y
and miss the shot. You usually
get a hook from an uphill lie,
so you better aim a bit to the
right of the intended line.
DOWNHILL LIE
Take a more lofted club than
you'd usually take for the dis
tance you have in mind. Play
the ball little farther toward
your right foot and hit down at
the ball. Keep the clubhead
following through, close to the
ground, and the loft of the club
will get the ball up.
FINAL ADVICE
The first don't of all is TO get
the "don'ts" out of your mind
and think of what you want to
do" You must begin with the
right grip; one that will enable
you to swing your hands easily
and in the true path instead of
getting you frightened up at diff
ferent places in the swing.
Then you have to have an
easy, natural stance with your
weight on both feet evenly At
all times keep away from the
thought of stiffness. What you
need in your swing is the
rhythm and zip that grooves the
clubhead in the correct path, and
which, by accelarating clubhead
travel at the right time, gives
you a powerful hit.
Don't tighten up. When you
do, you won't pivot. You are
bound to rock back on your
right foot. That wouldn't be so
very bad if you would sway
ahead when you start to hit the
ball, but the chances are you
will stay back on your right
foot, try to hit the ball by re-
mote control, and fall away from
the ball when you should be
whipping into it.
Don't get the idea that you
have to stand with your feet
stretched far apart or get an
chored. When you do that you
can't pivot as you should. Try
to keep your elbows fairly close
together instead of letting your
right elbow get far away from
your body and up in the air on
your backsWing.

ONE RABBIT; ONE HORSE

The New Munuqement--Lubor Code

On March % the heads of the AFL, CLIO and the United States
Chamber of Commerce announced a new set of principles which. they
hope; will control labor relations in this country when the restrictions
OF a are removed. Recollections of what happened after the last war
make some such plan for industrial peace seemdesirable.A AT tina. time
we had a savage attempt on the part of the big industrialsts to assissin-
ate the labor movement. William Green, Philip Murray and Eric John
ston trying to head off another such drive back toward the jungle.
The ideas formulated in the 7point code are good. There is en-
visaged an expanding economy with plenty of jobs and provisions for
social security. Management is to manage and labor is to be free to
organize. Differences are to be settled by collective bargaining.
The statements made to the press by the three authors of this code
show that they do not overestrnate it's Importance William Green feels
sure that labor and management. -. will subscribe whoeheartedly
and accept this code" Eric Johnston says, 1T is a good beginning"
Philip Murray remarks that 1.-The plan is conceived to help America"
All of these words seem to indicate that the plan is nothing more than
pleasant words designed to spread an idea.
The propaganda nature of the announcement was revealed by the
attitude taken by Ira Mosher, president of the National Association of
manufacturers. 1t is MI. Moshers notion that the peace project is still
only on the idea stage. He is, obviously, right. And there is a real
danger that many will get the notion that from now everything will
be lovely along the industrial front. That concept is, to say the least,
premature" Both capital and labor still have to face the basic social
problems of the postwar world and find a solution or there will be no
peace n the home front-The New Leader.

EQUALITY OF SACRIFICE?

$1,000 citizens now have telephone
service they had previously been
denied.
The phones came from the book

tanned the instruments on official
priority orders by contending they
were news services.
Although $1,000 is a lot of tele-
phones, that number could be
found multiplied many times if
the FEC would force the telephone
companies to take out the extra
phones in the residences of per-
sons who are to tired to walk up
or down stairs to one. There are
some multi-phoned homes in Wash
ington that have as high as is in
struments. And every community
has its share of 3-5 phone houses.

LEST WE FORGET!

The war situation is looking
better every day and no doubt
will come to a finish one of these
days when the German war ma
chine collapses.
Let us all remember that after
the last var there were some Z
000, 000 members in the trade
unions of the country. In a period
all to short, that number was re-
duced to less than 1000, 600 mem
bers.
Today there are approximately
$4,000, 900 union members. We
hope that there will be an educa-
tional program of sufficient value
to keep these Ia, 1000, 600 members
in the trade unions after this war,
and that there will be no repeti-
ton of the decline in membership
which followed 1913. - The Pro-
gressive Miner.

IN THE WIND
From THE NATION

An AMG man in Aachen, ques-

ical beliefs, was assured that they
we're unanimously anti-Nazi and

NONSENSE replied the German
spokesman. That's just pluto
democratic Jewish propaganda"

gates has passed a bill making il
illegal to use obscene language
over the telephone or to use the
telephone for the purpose of
making immoral engagements. The
bill doesn't say how it is to be en-
forced.

Why So Excited
Over Germuny's
Gold?

Like little children, we were
greatly excited by the seizure of
Germany's gold reserve, sailed
away half a mile under the earth.
Some of us want to keep it,
Army lawyers say that the bullion,
which fills a room 1870 yards long
and 80 yards wide to a depth of
three feet, belongs to us by right
of conquest.
Ever since the first savage saw
the stuff glittering in the sands Of
d river and decided it would make
a good ornament, we have been
hypnotized by gold.
For thousands Of years empires
were built on gold, and fell for the
lack of it.
The Kingdom of Israel was
founded by the warrior, King Saul,
who laid his hands on considerable
gold. 1t flourished under David, a
man of commerce, who used gold
to finance world trade.
Then came Solomon, and defla-
ton.
Solomon used all the gold in the
kingdom to plaster the Temple,
and emblazon his splendid palace.
To decorate Jerusalem, he even
stripped the provinces of silver,
making silver to be in Jerusalem
as stones"
There was no currency left to
finance trade, and when Solomon
died his country was impoverished
and torn by civil war. No wonder
he said: Vanity of vanities all
is vanity"
Solomon, the wisest of men, was
an economic ignoramus. He thought
that gold was wealth, and could be
boarded.
The same fate overlook the Per
sian Empire. Alexander the Great

No Limit to Charges

Chambers told the Legislators
that an average funeral need not

every essential care of the dead
In general, he charged, "the fun

standards of price. Whatever can

THE average funeral director
might charge as much as 500 for
a casket the material in which did

THE embalming process COSTS
but SO cents for materials and not
more than a dollar or two for labor

could be completely embalmed for
