PATIENTS COMPLAINT:
Missing with my irons"
DIAGNOSIS: Clubface open
or closed.
TREATMENT: An easy
fault to acquire is lining the
clubface up wrong to play an
iron shot. You only have to
be just a little bit careless to
start the swing with the club
face toed in or out too much.
When this is. the case, even a
perfect swing may be a dud.
With the clubface toed in
too much (closeO or toed out
too much (open), accuracy is
all but impossible. With the
closed face, you'll miss the
green to the left: with the open
face, you'll miss it to the right.
You can get this aiming
problem right If you are care
full to line the clubface up
square with the target. All
you have to do is see that the
groove lines in the clubface
are at right angles to the tar
get. 1t only takes second to
check this point, but that sec
ond really pays off.
1t is particularly easy to
leave the clubface open. So if
your iron shots tend to be high
and short to the right, check
this point carefully before TAX
ing the club back on the back
swing.

sitioning pointers, read my

Stance" A copy's yours for

Twice Headed Nation

Mannerheim was born June
4. 1867, in Askainen, Finland,
then a part of Russia. AS a
member of the minor nobility
he attended military schools
in Finland and St. Peters
burg before entering the
Russian Army in 1889. The
dashing young cavalry officer
became a favorite at the
Czarist court and after serv-
ice in the Russo-Japanese
War made a name as an ex-
plorer in Asia. He was a
major general of cavalry
when the Russian armies
disintegrated in 1917.
Mannerheim made his way
to Finland where a Finnish
Workers Republic had been
proclaimed, and accepted
command of the White forces
in the civil war against the
Reds. With German help he
was able to defeat the Reds
and take Helsinki. In 1918
he served for a time as regent
OF Finland, but was defeated
for the presidency and retired
to private life.
In 1881 Baron Manner
helm was called back into
service as head of Finland's
Council of Defense and two
years later was made a field
marshal. He supervised the
construction of the elaborate
system Of defenses known as
the Mannerheim line.
Finnish troops under his
command put up a heroic
but futile resistance against

NOTES
Gold Coin Rules

Many non-collectors with
a gold piece or two in their
possession have been con-
fused by stories that it is
illegal to own gold coin.
Here are the facts on the
acquiring and holding of
United States gold coin, as
set forth in Section 54.20 Of
the current gold regulations
under the Gold Reserve Act
Of 1884:
"(a) Gold coin of recognized
special value to collectors of
rare and unusual coin may
be acquired. held and trans
ported, or imported without
the necessity Of holding a
license.
(b) Gold coin made prior
to April 5. 1888 is considered
to be of recognized special
value to collectors Of rare
and unusual coin"
Since no gold pieces Of any
denomination were minted
after the date mentioned,
this means that anyone may
own any United States gold
coin.
When these regulations
were last revised a few years
ago the Federal Reserve Bank
in this district sent out let
ters to its member banks.

CAMERA ANGLES
DeodIine Approaches
For Snapshot Contest

pick out those that show the
youngsters in action. Lay
aside those that reflect no &C
ton and concentrate on Sc
lection of pictures where the
little types are hard at work
or play. Interesting express
sions help, too.
Stopped Action Scores
If you are an animal lover,
you probably have any num-
ber Of pictures that could win
a prize in the category of an
imal life. Again, action that
has been stopped by your
camera will count heavily
with the judges. A snapshot
of an apathetic cat or dog
snoozing away in corner will
seldom be an eye-catching
picture. On the other hand, if
you have one of the family
pup chasing a ball or baying
up a tree at the neighbor's
cat. you may really have
something.
If your children are older
you can enter pictures of
them and other adults in
third-class, activities. Such
pictures as portraits, as we'll
as action pictures showing
such subjects in daily activi-
ties are suitable for this
category.
Ali other snapshots not
covered by the above will be
accepted as scenes and
table tops. Here action is
not the watc hword but
rather an appreciation by
the judges of good compost
ton, lighting and exposure.
In the color group entries
are submitted as people, pets,
animals or places.
Regardless of the class Of
pictures you send in, be sure
to pick out those that are
your very best. If you have
several which are very similar
choose the one which is best
all around.

of months ago, there are. in
addition to the five local

prizes, ranging from seven
