THE SUN, NEWBERRY, S. C, FRIDAY, JULY 12, 1940
'T'HE subject matter of "head lift-
-*■ ing” in golf may not seem to be
as dramatic as a pennant race or
a heavyweight fight, but it is far
more important to some 2,000,000 or
3,000,000 suffering human beings, not
overlooking the stars.
You hear the cry, “Heads up,” in
baseball. But this cry is connected
entirely with mo
rale, not with any
physical attitude.
And a golf ball isn’t
flying waist high or
shoulder high as a
baseball flies.
“I didn’t raise my
head to be a golf
er,” should still be
the game’s theme
song.
A certain well-re
spected instructor
writes me that I
have overplayed the
importance of keeping the head still
or down, or the chin back, through
the swing.
“If you do this,” he comments,
“you immediately stiffen up. Just
think of looking at the ball.”
Hie fact remains, however, that
if yon notice the slow motion strokes
of all star golfers yon will find the
head is still nnlifted, the chin slight
ly back, well after the ball has been
hit.
How can a duffer get by with
something the star golfer can’t af
ford to do?
Grantland Bice
Anchor to the Swing
“The head,” as Long Jim Barnes
told me years ago, “must be the
anchor to the swing.” Long Jim is
right, as usual.
“The chin hack” matter, advocat
ed by Alex Morrison, even before
the backswing started was first used
by Jerry Travers, then by Walter
Hagen, then by Bobby Jones. They
merely wanted to be sure of this
one detail in advance. Each tilted
his chin back, to the right, just as
the backswing started. And each
kept it there until after the ball was
well on its way.
“I’ve found out,” Jerry Travers,
winner of five national titles, told
me once, “that on an average I
move my head incorrectly about six
times during a round and that
means I’ve missed at least five
shots.”
To let the chin move only an inch
or so towards the line of flight, ahead
of timj^ means almost certain trou
ble. —
“You lifted your head on that
,,
one.
How often has every golfer heard
this somber tip from a playing com
panion? You know?
How can one break up this fault?
In the first place, head lifting is usu
ally the result of three advance
faults—
1. Too much tension.
2. Muddled or befuddled or poor
concentration.
3. Too fast a backswing and too
fast a starting downswing.
Mind on the Ball
How can you keep your eye on
the ball when your mind is on some
bunker, pond, out-of-bounds, or oth
er trouble on beyond? I’ve always
believed that “keep your mind on
the ball” was a far better slogan
than “keep your eye on the ball.”
The eye travels with the working of
the mind.
The main trouble with most golf
swings on the average side is the
mind working back of the swing.
This doesn’t apply so much to
those who came up as caddies to
be stars, because these golfers have
picked up an instinctive method.
They were first imitators. Then
the fundamentals became thorough
ly set—except in big championships,
where they also blow up, through
tension and faulty concentration.
One good example was Snead’s
opening 67 and his closing 81 in the
recent National Open.
The average golfer has no such
foundation to build on. He must use
his meager resources to the limit—
and one of these beyond any doubt
is head action. And back of head
action there must be mind action.
“How can I keep my head still?”
In the first place, the main idea
is to think largely of the backswing.
The main idea should be to elim
inate anything beyond the ball it
self. Never mind the ponds and
the bunkers. The ball has to stop
somewhere.
The next move is to be sure of
a smooth, unhurried backswing.
Don’t be too anxious to hammer the
cover oil the ball. Golf balls have
tough covers. Don’t be too anxious
to hurry the downswing. A slight
pause at the top will help.
Try to forget all that poisonous
terrain beyond the ball. Try to
make yourself keep your head
where it belongs until you think the
ball has landed—somewhere. It
can’t land in much worse places
than it usually locates for a habitat,
awaiting the slash of the recovering
niblick.
If the head remains as "anchor
to the swing,” the swing can’t be
far wrong. But it is an action that
must be watched at every shot. It
can’t be taken for granted, for it
won’t work that way. You are fight
ing human n.-ture.
you.
Mr. Knox—That’s what I’m afraid
of.

TELEVISION OPERA
'T'ELEVISION is making headway.
-*■ More and more homes are now
getting their radio noises illustrated.
It is possible not only for the fam
ily to argue over the radio words,
but over the radio pictures.
Grand opera got its first tele
vision broadcast the other night.
It proved that it is entirely possi
ble to throw a fat tenor’s voice
into your living room, and the
tenor with it.
Elmer Twitchell is so sensitive
to the conventions and such a
slave to form that he dresses for
television opera.
“It is a nuisance to dress for a
radio program,” said Elmer today,
“but I never can get used to opera
In any form unless I am all dolled
up for it. I climbed into my dress
clothes as soon as I found that Pagli-
acci was coming over the radio. I
just couldn’t help it.”
But what made Elmer sore was
the way Mrs. Twitchell reacted to
opera by television. She went out
and bought a new ermine wrap
for it.
“Believe it or not,” declared El
mer today, “that woman has me
rim ragged. Do you know what she
proposed when it was announced
that the Metropolitan Opera com
pany would broadcast an opera by
television, right into our living
room?”
“No.”
“She put on all her jewelry,
had a facial, spent four hours
having her hair done and then
insisted that we go over to the
corner garage, hire a sedan with
chauffeur and be driven right
up to our radio set in style!”

CABINET MEETING
The President—Gentlemen, these

1 ates, Mr. Knox and Mr. Stimson. !

Mr. Hopkins—What made you pos

Mr. Ickes—The boss’ statement
that he wasn’t even considering it.

Mr. Knox—I feel strange here,
don’t you, Henry?
Mr. Stimson—No; I’m equally un

Mr. Knox—Gosh, I never thought
I’d land in a Democratic adminis
tration.
Mr. Stimson—If you’re surprised,
imagine my amazement!
Mr. lokes—Why should either of
you be surprised? A Republican is
apt to wind up anywhere. Look at

Mr. Knox (still incredulous)—It

on the ticket in opposition to Roose
velt.
Mr. Ickes—That was no opposi
tion!

There’s Mr. Morgenthau who has
charge of all the money.
Mr. Morgenthau—All what money?
The President—And you all know
Harold Ickes. Harold, are you sur
prised to find Frank Knox here?
Mr. Ickes—No. I always said Re
publicans make the best Democrats.

Perkins. She is the secretary of
labor.
Miss Perkins—Did he say Is or
WAS?

Voice—I propose that the cabinet
now sing “Hull, Hull, the gang’s all
here.”
Mr. Stimson—Well, Mr. President,
I am anxious to get to work as sec
retary of war. There is much to be
done. I assume I am to have full
authority there.
The President—You’ll find out.
Mr. Knox—I think I’ll go over to
the navy department at once and
get things going.

A THEME for poet and painter,
■l*- and as to those whose mission
it is to tell the story of fashion in
columns such as this, the dictionary,
quick! It’s super-glamorous adjec
tives we must have to describe the
beauty of water-sprayed flowers
worn by fashion’s mermaids. The
happy thought about these flowers
is that, being made of rubber, they
come up out of watery depths look
ing as fresh as flowers in a summer
garden..
It is indeed a pretty fashion that
has been launched of wearing flow
ers made of rubber to wear with
swim suits. There is simply no
limit to the possibilities this fashion
envisions in the way of picture ef
fects. When one sees the charm
ing bathing ensembles by Kleinert
that are enhanced with flowers, one
is brought to a realization of the
importance of the role rubber is
playing in the fashion realm.
Faithful reproduction of the color
and design of real flowers has taken
years of training in workmanship.
It requires artistic ability-plus to
successfully reproduce in rubber re
alistic camelias, violets, water lil
ies, anemones, sweet peas, forget-
me-nots, gardenias, roses, cornflow
ers, dahlias and chrysanthemums
such as fashion offers this season.
We are showing below in the picture
just a few types available, and if
you go in quest you will be shown
many more where swim suit ac
cessories are sold. The swim suits
here pictured are most as interest
ing as the flowers that trim them,
in that they are made of a new
rubber fabric that has a crepe-like
knitted surface that can be softly
draped to give a dressmaker touch.
From the outside these attractive,
Red, White and Blue
“Three cheers for the red, white
and blue” and it’s fashion that is
joining in the chorus in accenfs loud
and clear. This stunning hat and
bag ensemble sounds a patriotic
note in its red, white and blue color
scheme. It is woven of cord in the
three colors and emphasizes the
importance of matching accessories.
Accessory sets simply thrill with ex
citing adventures such as a bag and
hat made of print cotton of the old-
fashioned calico type. Polka dot
bags and hats are the rage. Latest
is hat, bag and shoes made of print
in bizarre colorings.
Field Flowers
Daisies seem to be the winning
design in the flower group, with daf
fodils and lilies next.
Gingham Gaiety
Brightly checked gingham is a
gay touch to add to a tailored sum
mer suit.
Bag and Bracelet
In Red Style Note
The fashion for bright red hats,
bags, jewelry and other accessories
is going strong this summer. Try
this combination to enliven your
navy, white or black costume—a
stunning bag in red leather of fab
ric, together with a striking red
bracelet which may be of the carved
plastic type or one of the new poppy
red flower effects. It is within the
bounds of good taste to add a match
ing necklace if your enthusiasm for
red carries you that far.

EPARIHENT
practical rubber suits appear to be
seamless. In reality the seams and
reinforcements have been scientific
ally designed to prevent the possi
bility of ripping. Being of rubber,
when you emerge from the water
your suit will dry quickly, fit
smoothly and feel wonderfully com
fortable.
Were the accompanying illustra
tion printed in color, as w« wish it
might be, one would see how amaz
ingly realistic are the tones and
tints of the flowers. The lady shown
to the left is putting out to sea in a
dressmaker swim suit which reflects
Hawaiian influence in its wide-skirt
ed silhouette and garland of tur
quoise and coral sweet peas that
outlines the bodice top. Dress, flow
ers and matching turban are all of
rubber. The striking beachbag flung
over her shoulders is rubber lined.
The picture centered below gives a
cP je-up view of the flower arrange
ment.
The costume to the right presents
an interesting study in rubber flow
er culture. This clever maiden se
lected a flower bedecked suit in deep
pink. Under the flower cluster a
“mad-money” pocket is hidden,
which also holds locker key and lip
stick, which is self explanatory as to
why this suit is called “pocketeer.”
And now for another revelation
in rubber artistry. This time it is
rubber jewelry. Note the matching
halo to hold tresses in place and
bracelet which the lovely lady pic
tured in the center at the top is
wearing. Blue and yellow corn flow
ers form the straps of the bathing
suit and the jewelry. This ensem
ble is called “debutante” no doubt
in honor of its wearer.

orous our screen players have
showered and scrubbed before
the camera, with due discretion.
Remember Joan Crawford’s
bubble bath in “The Women”?
That was one of the screen’s
most elegant bathing bits, in re
cent years.
But in “The Howards of Virginia”
Cary Grant takes a bath that may
get him into trouble with the his
torians, though if it does nobody will
be to blame.
“The Howards of Virginia,” you’ll
recall, is based on that popular
book, "The Tree of Liberty.” The
author, Elizabeth Page, did exten
sive research for it; Producer-Direc
tor Frank Lloyd had experts at work
for months before a camera turned.
But—the author wrote a scene in
which the hero takes a bath in
Raleigh tavern, at Williamsburg,
Va. The first regulation bathtub
was not brought to America until
several years after the story takes
place. Research failed to uncover
anything in bathtub styles current
for the period; in fact, the general
impression seemed to be that the
male gentry performed such ablu
tions in the Potomac river.
So Lloyd used his imagination,
and decreed that Cary Grant should
take his bath in a round wooden
tub; maybe that’s not according to
Hoyle, historically, but it’s the best
he could do.

Felt Cartwheels
In for Popularity
If hat designers have their way,
big-brimmed hats will be the out
standing successes of this summer.
Felts as big as cartwheels are
shown again and again and, to make
them more interesting, their brims
and crowns are intricately manipu
lated. Some are arranged in fan
shape, others swoop back from the
face and are trimmed with gay
feathers. Almost all of them, even
the largest, are trimmed with veils
—some long enough to reach the
waist.
Trim It With Lace
Is Now Sure Fire
When in doubt trim it with lace.
Bolts and bolts of fine lace edging
are contributing to the news in sum
mer fashions. Hats are very smart
with bows, bands, brims and crowns
of lace. Accessories include match
ing lace bags and belts of lace—and
it’s chic to carry a lace parasol,
too!

with the royal air force, and it’s a

Describing his gift as “the least
we can do in these troubled times,”
Frederic March recently purchased
and presented to the American Red I
Cross, for use in Europe, a com- 1
pletely equipped ambulance. He
and Mrs. March were asked to par- '
ticipate in a benefit, but he was un
able to do so because of his work
in Paramount’s “Victory.” He said ,
that he thought the ambulance would
be more welcome than their ap< ;
pearance.
When a radio program comes on
the air with its studio audience 1

hard to get just that effect. Fibber
McGee has an old-fashioned watch
which dangles from his vest pock- j

broadcast he checks the time anx
iously with the control room; with
one second to go, Fibber nonchalant
ly says, “Oh, shucks, we got lots of
time,” tosses the watch over the
footlights into the audience, and they
roar with laughter.

1HE PUBLIC nature of advertising bene
fits everyone it touches. It benefits the
public by describing exactly the products that are offered. It
benefits employees, because the advertiser must be more But
and just than the employer who has no obligation to the public.
These benefits of advertising are quite apart from the obvious
benefits which advertising confers—the lower prices, the higher
quality, the better service that go with advertised goods and firms.
