GERMANS CANNOT
 ACCEPT PRESENTS
Heavy Import Tax on Lux uries Prevents Acceptance
 of Christmas Gifts
By Associated Press

Berlin, December 22.-Germans who have received Christmas gifts from America find little cause to be grateful. and many have refused to accept their packages because of hav- ing to pay a heavy import tax, since most of the gifts are classed as luxz uries.
 For half-pound of tobacco and half dozen cigars the import tax amounts to from 300 to 400 marks which is far beyond the average leu toms means. The post offices are holding the packages hoping the re- cipients may change their minds.
 Luxury gifts have been banned by most Germans and stores report that their stocks have been virtually un- touched during the last few weeks Germans have bought shirts, socks, ties, collars, shoes and food for their friends and warm clothes for the children. The American forces in Germany have taken up a collection to entertain. feed and clothe thou sands of the smaller children in all the occupied towns.
 A round robin signed by war vet erans wounded In the legs has been sent to the city administration urging that reduced carfares be granted and that citizens be directed to keep the sidewalks sanded to prevent cripples from slipping.

Screen Exhibition of Big Bat tie To Be Staged at
 RiaIt0

Noted jurists, men of affairs na- tionally known statesmen, and bril- liant clergymen have placed their stamp of approval on the Dempsey Carpenter fight pictures, which are to open at the Rialto theatre Monday morning, and continue on solid weeks run until II o'clock Saturday night, according to the promoters. The reason for such universal praise of the picture is that it Is clean, wholesome, uplifting and moral, as well as thrilling and hair-raisng.
 The five reels of film start at the very beginning of Carpenters. arrival in this country to take part in the battle of the century" They show the Frenehman stepping from the boat that brought him over, and the camera man follows him throughout his training to the day of the fight al Jersey City The same is done with Dempsey. All the training routine and the efforts at muscle building and body building are shown.
 Then comes the great day in Jersey City. when over 90,000 fans, assem- bled from the four corners of the earth, packed and damned themselves into the mammoth stadium erected on Boyle's Thirty Acres, especially for this battle The eyes of the cam era havs overlooked no interesting detail. Into the preliminaries of the fight is woven a story that holds and thrills.
 Four rounds of boxing between the worlds champion and the French challenger ensue. It's the first time an American has ever defended his title against french challenger Notables of London and Paris, and some of the foremost figures in America are seen at the ringside. It's great sight. looking at that crowd, and looking at Dempsey and Carpen- tier as they vie for honors in the arena.
 Promoter w. G. Rudolph. who has charge of the film here and is Tex Richards personal representative, looking after Richards interest in the film that was produced under the celebrated promoters supervision, has been here for more than a week now stopping at the Tutwiler Ever since 1t was officially decided that the film could be shown here, Mir Rudolph's phone has been buzzing continually with messages from Ma gic City peo- pie, seeking information about the film and when 1t would be placed on exhibition.
 You can tell them for me-" said MT. Rudolph, that ] have received enough queries about the picture, to lead me to believe that 1t would take two weeks for all interested in Bir- mingham to see 1t. but it will posi- lively be here but one week, starting Monday, and closing Saturday night. However, there's show every hour, starting at Il o'clock, and ending at Il o'clock at night. With this all day grind we should be able to ac- commodate practically all who desire to see the masterpiece of fistana."

By Associated Press

Washington. December 22.-An- nouncement was made today by Sen ator LaFollette. republican. Wiscon- sin, that soon after Congress recon venes in January he will begin "pre- senting to the Senate and to the coun- try data showing that railroad la borer's wages are less today than at the beginning of the present cen tury."
 As the result of an investigation he had conducted into the subject, tho senator said he had found that the purchasing power of the wages paid railroad workers, and to some extent others, was less now than 1t had been at any time since 1900. He added that he believed he would be able to prove that further reduction in wages of any or all labor would in- jure the productiveness of industry.

in actual theory the blade should
be brought back on a straight line
but In trying this out most golfers
Will bring 1t back outside the hall.
One OF the best ways to practice
this very important matter of COM
ing back on straight line is to get
a block Of wood, say 2xl. about
eighteen inches long. and place Il
along the line you wish to mutt
PThen practice swinging the putter
back along this line with the ton
neck of the blade held along this
board. 80 RI
This shows you exactly how the
putter should be brought back and
also helps, to, develop the right
habit, ~
The basis OF putting is a straight
swing with a firm hit. 1t is on the
order OF q stab with a short follow
through.
The hands should not be held too
tightly, nor should the club head
ever be hurried back.
The swing must be slow back and
never tumpy. Braid even stops his
swing at the back before coming
through. and this isn't bad idea.
Checking Up.
Remember. then. these highly i'm
portant points:
/. Firm body. braced with weight
on left foot.
2. Slow back without hurry to hit.
,. Right elbow close in. left ell
bow out, pointing along the line of
play
4. Bring putter lose along ground,
/ slightly inside; no lifting motion.
5. Firm. two-handed swing and
punch.
s. Firm tap at ball. much like
stab. with a short follow through.
I. Hands held firmly, but in no
sense too tightly.
s. Concentrate on hitting the ball
as you make the putt.
On a down-hill putt II is always
| best to see that you get past the
hole in case the ball doesn't drop
| in. so that you have an uphill putt
| left. On an uphill putt 1t is better
to be short than over, IL a mistake
| is to be made.
| ! have been frequently asked Just
what should be done when one is
putting badly, especially when he
is missing short puts of two and
three feet
In conditions OF this sort it isn't
bad idea to loosen the grip, to
| change the stance slightly and to
shift the grip upon the leather. II
you are holding the club near the
| top, move the hands farther down
the shaft IL you are holding the
hands we'll down. move them higher
up the grip.
But in changing your stance re-
member to always keep the head
| over the ball. You are not going
| to correct any putting faults by
moving the head away from its cor
rect position.
II you are missing short puts
the chances are that you are jerk
| ing the club head back or lifting ii
| hurriedly away. Slow back the
swing. and don't come too far back
And don't be in too big a hurry
| to hit the ball
