It is a co-incidence, too, that,

n friend has just loaned me a book which deals extensively with the action of the wrists in iron shots. It is an old book, first printed in 1920. But in it is recognition of and tribute to tho greatness of Ernest Jones -the master of the swing.

The writer was Daryn Bammond, and in his chapter on the action of j the wrists he has collected and re- printed the opinions of some of the greater players of his day. These include Harry Vardon, James Braid, Sandy Herd and J. H. Taylor.

The consensus of all is that the essence of any shot is to get one's wrints into it. "The turning of the wrists imparts greater speed to the chubhead, and is the great secret of long driving" says Jerome D. Tra- vers

The Arst movement comes from! the wrists. The Initiative In bring-| ing down the club is taken by the left wrist-Brald.

"Bring the clubhead behind the bol with a fairly flat swing, and Kive it # He flick of the wrists. When the club is about 10 inches from the ball, I hit with the back of the left hand and at the same time put in that right wrist flick whicht counts for so`much"-Sandy Werd.

*The left wrist takes the club back. This turn of the left wrist is gradual movement. The wrists accelerate the speed of the clubhead at the moment of contact" opines J. H. Taylor.

These are the sentiments to which ninely-nine per cent of the first class golfers subscribe. But the rolling of the wrists is difficult to attain, and even more difficult to maintain with accuracy. Other good

golfers, but in

minority, aver that the forearms are the rentral_lever_of_n_good_nolt shot. and to this, wrist action is relegated

The "secret" is to keep the fore- arms in that wound-up state and maintain the cock of the wrists until that last foot or so before impact. The whole then unwinds and un- cocks to give what is commonly known as the "flick" of

Midget Auto Racing Takes American Fancy by Storm

LOS ANGELES.-Midget auto racers-"spindizzics" and "hot irons" their owners call them-bave grown from a tinker- shop hobby idea to a great national sport in only two years, and to-day there are from 12,000 to 15,000 of these roaring 12

Birth of Idea

TWIREE brothers in tllia city-Tom, Russell and Hurris Dooling-are given much of the credit for minia- ture racing in its present formi.

They had been model seroplane enthusiasts, but they became tired of the all-too-numerous crack-ups of their small power planes and began experimenting with a midget racing car, equipped with a motor they had used in their aircraft. They tested the machine on A circular track, controlling it at the end of a fine steel cable, affixed to centre post.

Total Warfare

means

Total Sacrifice

MERE WORDS FAIL to emphasise the gravity of the great fight against brutality and oppression, in which we are so seriously engaged. The hordes of Hitler are desperate in their fiendish desire to obliterate the British Empire, and all that it stands for. It is total warfare. Total in the sense that not only are our gallant sailors, soldiers and airmen in- volved, but civilians as well.

ALREADY THE TOLL of lives amongst the civilian. population of the British Isles, is heavy. Already, innocent. children are being maimed and blinded. The scene is poig- nantly grim... Our folk who are in the midst of the holocaust come up smiling after every onslaught—even though they have tears in their eyes and anguish in their hearts. The are Undaunted! Unconquerable!

THEY ARE ENCOURAGED by the great help they are receiving from their kindred nations overseas. In common with the rest of the Empire, Hongkong is helping,? Nearly a year ago, the Bomber Fund was started, and thanks to the generosity and the sacrifice of many, over two million dollars have now been subscribed and placed at the disposal of the British Government for the purchase of bombers—so urgently needed to avenge the innocents who have fallen, and to smash the German war machine.

HONGKONG is doing well, but can do sill batter. There have been magnificent contributions to the Bomber Fund, and there has been great sacrifice on the part of some who have given again and again. Let it be remembered. however, that the two million dollars would not have been recorded but for the humble gifts from those who could afford no more.

THIS COLONY enjoys the blessing of peace, but that blossing should serve to stimulate and quicken the desire to give to the greatest cause of all time. Our people at Home know what total warfare means. Let them know that the people of Hongkong understand what total giving means... the people of Hongkong understan
