Erwin G. Garrett, of German
town, Who Writes Poems on

ton for Belligerency
HANDS WILL NOT BEHAVE

Erwin c. Garrett. who spends much time
in writing militant verse, Is truly a pugna-
oous poet. lie lives at 43i West Stafford
street a quiet part Of Germantown.
He is what authors call "virie." lie is

in peace that he Is willing TO fight for Il.
lie wrote peacefully while fighting in the

He is the antithesls Of the general poetic
suspicion. He IL big. broad -shoudered and
bald instead of being thin. long-haired and
anemc, as comic paper editors would have
US believe poets are.
Mr.. Garrett is not n sarret poet He Is
q man OF means. He is brave, lie is
original and has initiative.
HAS HAD HIS TROUBLES
1t Is this last qualification probably
which has caused most of his trouble. Car
rett believes in settling matters quickly on
his own account when he learns that some
person has not performed his duty. This
habit has brought him in contact with the
police numerous times in the last few years.
Word Of his last conflict reached here
today. II was with a lifeguard at Cape
May whom, II Is said, he whipped on Tues
day during an argument. The poet was
held In 5000 bail. But the lifeguard was
patched up and also the trouble. ,'arrett
criticized Lfeguard Keenan, because a man
AT the resort broke his neck by diving into
shallow water, II appears that the guard
reminded Garrett that he was not re-
sponsible for the depth of the ocean. and
words and fists followed rapidly.
Garrett admitted that he had criticized
| the guard, but said the subsequent hos
| tllities were due to a misunderstanding.

500 Over-Strength

Mr.. Bates standard for every part is
at least so per cent over-strength. And
every part in the Mitchell meets it.
There Is no uncertainty on this. He
has used up fifty cars in proving strength
requirements. And his tests showed
when he met them.
Another Bate idea for years has been
to make this lifetime car. Now it evil

Know the Bate Idea

Factory economy is only one side of
efficiency. But it's vital side.
In this model factory, built and
equipped by Mr.. Bate, our factory costs
have been cut in two. That Is what pays
for the Mitchell extras. No car like
this could be sold at this price II built
as most cars are built.
But John w. Bates ideas of efficiency
