have seen many a golfer trying to
be compact or crisp in his play when
he was merely being wooden, with no
freedom to his swing and no snap to
his blow.
Compactness is just keeping your
self together in the right place.
One OF the most common faults I
have noticed in golf is this
The player takes his stance, bends
over in about the right way and ad-
dresses the ball
Then. just as he starts his swing,
in place OF starting it from the same
position, he straightens up; IL he
doesn't straighten up at the start he
will before the back swing is COM
pleted.
This means that he is no longer in
the same compact position; he is no
longer down where he can hit the ball
with power; he has lifted his shOul-

HUDSON-ESSEX REDUCTIONS ARE FROM $50 ID $12O Local Dealer Says Prices of Standard Makes Now
 Are at Lowest
 Level

The prices of several of the stand ard motor cars are materially lower today. considering the values put into them. than at any time in the history of the automobile. says A. R. Pryor of the Pryor Motor company, local Hudson Essex dealer.
 Ever since the summer of 1920, when drastic cuts began to be mado in all businesses, the automotive in dustry has been e leader in getting back to pre-war values. That the public appreciates this is reflected in tho tremendous sales of automobiles this year. Many manufacturers con- sistentiy took losses, particularly through siashing large inventories to c value much less than cost, in order to resume business again on forTner standards of value.
 Today two years after this down ward level started, many automobile manufacturers are quoting prices which, considering improvements made in the last five years, are ac- tuAlly lower than pre-war levels.

ture. "reminiscences are inevitably in order. Twenty years have seen many achievements in the auto mobile world-ln fact, so young is the miracle industry that all of it's achievements have been registered in that brief span.
 It may be remembered that from the beginning self-propelled vehicles met with skepticsm and open op- position. In England, their early operation was permitted only when they were preceded at safe dis tance by man with a bell and a red flag, to warn unwary pedes- trians that the destroyer was coming. As recently as 1905. most people thought that the operation of auto mobiles over country roads would result in frightened horses, numer- ous runaways, slaughtered live stock and poultry, wrecked nerves and per- dftion generally So when the Olds- Motor works announced q transcon- tinental race between two Oldsmo- piles, in the early part of 1905, there was a storm of protest. The storm was useless, as it turned out.
 In 1903. an Oldsmobile of the fa- miliar curved dash type, with a steering handle. driven by the in- trepid Whitman, had made the then almost perilous trip from San Fran cisco to New York in 72 days. It cov- cred a road distance of about 4.O00 miles, without breaking either the metal of the machine or the mettle of the man. though it was literally gruelling experience for both.

THE MINERS FEAR OF FIRE

THE MINERS FEAR OF F1ftB John L. Considine, in Adventure
 Magazine.
 Nothing Is so much dreaded by the miner as fire. When millions of tons of rock begin to settle down he is not frightened. He goes among them when they are being splintered in all directions and are cracking like pistols.
 One reason why fire in a mine is so much dreaded is because there are SO few avenues of escape open to the miners. Probably there Is but a single shaft-if the mine Is connected with no other-and up this. a thousand or fifteen hundred feet, or more. he must go to escape.
 In case of fire there is liable to be a panic. A panic in a church or other building on the surface is a terrible thing; then what must be a panic in mine where there are 500 or 1000 men perhaps. all to go up a single shaft 1000 feet or more, a cageload at 8 time? At such times, too, there are explosions of gases which extinguish all of the lights, and the men. rushing to and fro, are exposed to danger or tufnDnnB heau- long into scores of pitfalls in tho shape of chutes, winzes and other ex- cavations.
 All these things being often In the miners mind give him a wonderful delicacy of nostril. He can scent a fire from afar. He knows the smell of burning fuse, of giant powder, of black powder and of everything with which fire ordinarily comes in con- tact in a mine, and the scent of these Is no more noticed than is noticed tho air he breathes on tte surface of the earth; but let any unusual sub stance be ignited anc, like the hunted stag, his nose Is in the air at once.

road tested for chassis defects and adjustments
 One of the progressive steps Peer less has taken is evident in the way motors are tested. Each motor is run under it's own power in a dynamome- and block test for eight or ten hours. It is then dissembled and tested for wear and defects with feelers and , micrometers. If it passes this inspec- tion it Is reassembled and again run In for six or eight hours before being placed in chassis. This thorough method of testing has made it prac- tically impossible for Peerless owner to get defective or extremely stiff motor in his new car.
 Another forward step taken by Peerless has been the unusual care with which they select their distribu- tors and dealers. Not only is the fi- nancial rating of a prospective dealer carefully investigated, but his char acter is equally we'll scrutinized. For Peerless realizes that adverse adver- Using of a very undesirable nature may be obtained through irrespon- sible representations.

Peerless Has AltUays Been
 Leader i1 ProgressiUeness
Has Never Failed the Public, Say Mccormack Brothers
 Distributors Here

The Peerless Motor Car company of Cleveland, O., has shown a marked tendency toward progressiveness throughout its entire existence. For 20-odd years 1t has manufactured fine motor cars, and for 20-odd years it's progress has been noticeable and continuous.
 Not once has 1t faltered in its for ward march and, although accepted in its infancy as a producer of one of America's finest cars, it has not for one moment checked its efforts toward the production of an ever bet ter vehicle. Perhaps it's unbroken progress has been partially due to the fact that Peerless has always main tained an expensive and complete re- search and experimental department devoting It's entire time to the devel- opment and ultimate perfection of their car.
 Peerless enjoys a unique position among motor car manufacturers in that 1t has never placed an indiffer- ent model upon the market. Not once has 1t failed the public. This fact has created confidence in the Peer less organization and product.
 The originators of the Peerless company had in view the manufac- ture of the finest car that could be built. Not once in it's history has it produced a cheap car; in fact, it's in- tention has been to build the best car possible. regardless of price. The entire Peerless organization, includ- ing factory equipment, has been de- veloped with this end in view. Natu- rally the manufacturer working in a single direction for 20 years gets nearer his ultimate goal than one who changes his plans to suit the market or his needs. Peerless prob ably has the most completely equipped plant in the country. The Peerless has always been manufac- tured car and not an assembled product. Every Peerless car is track tested on a private track before it passes it's final inspection. It is also

YOUR AUTOS
 ELECTRIC SYSTEM

The three principal units of an cleo tric starting and lighting system are the starter, the generator. and the storage battery. Practically every automobile driver will say, "We know that: tell us something we don't know" But very few people have a clear idea about the way these three units work together to give the re- suit that most of us would be lost without
 A simple explanation of this intrl- cate part of the modern car can be made by comparison with common water system. Imagine a tank of water being filled by a pump forcing water through a large inlet pipe. The speed of the pump (therefore Its pressurel keeps water going into the tank. If the pump slowed down to the point where the weight of the water already raised to tho tank would be greater than the force of the pump. water would return through the same pipe. pass the pump and drain the tank. For this reason check valve Is placed In most hy- draulic systems and this check valve Is analogous to the return cut-out switch that prevents the storage bat tery sending current through the gen orator when the car Is running slow iy. So much for the first comparison. /, The water stored Tn the tank will turn a large water wheel or motor If sufficiently large pipe is used to convey the water to the motor. Or it will operate several smaller motors with the use of smaller pipes. This Is comparable with the action of a storage battery when it operates the starting motor on an automobile through aNarge cable that permits a great supply of current to be used at one time. The storage battery also operates the lamps and spark 1 plugs when the proper switches are | opened, quite the same way as the tank of water turns the smaller water motors.
 If the demand of the motors being operated by the water supply in the original tank should be excessive and greater than that supplied by the pump, 1t is evident that the tank will soon be emptied and the motors cease to operate. Again the same thing i happens with the automobile. when the starter. and lights are used ex- cessively and more current taken from the storage battery than is sup I piled by the generator. A leak In any of the wires and connections about the car would contribute to the same effect as would a leak in the pipes of the water system described 1 above.
 The generator must have an out put In excess of that required to operate the starter. lights and igni- ton to take care of the normal loss of efficiency" that any mechanical

equipment mus incur. That loss Is due to the energy consumed In the operation of the generator itself, to the losses by friction and other causes and represent about 20 per cent of the total electricity absorbed by the battery.

The modern fertilizer factory with
its efficient machinery and methods
for mixing can produce a fertilizer
more thoroughly and uniformly mixed
than can be produced on the farm. The
experience of the Georgia Experiment
Station has been, however, that the
farm laborers with a mixing floor,
screen, tamper and broom, can produce
a pretty fair mixture. Some of the adj
vantaees of home-mixed fertilizer are:
The farmer can know exactly the
grade, source and quality of the in
gradients. :.
The formulas can be varied to suit
the local conditions of soil and crop
demands.
The effect on the soil of different
combinations may be tested.
The chief objections are that unmlX-
ed materials may not always be avail
able, and that the mechanical condl-
ton of the mixture is not so good as
in the factory-mixed fertilizer. But
while mixed goods are easily secured
it is not always possible to obtain

certain materials. And the difficulty
of securing the unmixed materials, is
more or less a question Of demand.
The calculation of the amounts OF
the carriers to mix in order to make

is a simple matter. AS an example,
suppose a formula S-6-3 is needed for
cotton; that is, a mixture containing
8 per cent available phosphoric acid,
6 per cent nitrogen and 3 per cent
potash. Necessarily the composition
of the materials to be used must be
known. Suppose that for the purpose
there is available 7 per cent cotton
seed meal, 10 per cent acid phosphate,
20 per cent ammonia and II per cent

a HUGE SLASH IN
PREPAREDNESS FUND
CONGRESS PLANS TO CHOP A
COOL 100000, 900 OFF ARMY
AND NAVY MONEY.

WASHINGTON, D. CA huge
slash in army and navy appropriations
for the next fiscal year-possibly as
large as 100000, 000-would be made
by congress under plans framed by
some of the most influential republl-
cans in the house, it was learned to-
day.
Such a cut would mean saving OF
So in federal taxes to every man, wo-
man and child in the United States,
or from $40 to SIS to the average fam
ily. 1t would be a reduction OF more
than one third in the amount asked tor
next year in the budget. Under this
plan the estimates for war prepared
ness would be cut from total of ap-
proximately $800,000,0O0 to S5OO,OOO,-
900.
Republican leaders backing the plan
take the view that a big reduction IN
army and navy expenses must be
made for the relief of the taxpayers
regardless of the lack of complete
agreement on armament limitation by
the arms conference. Representative
Madden. chairman of the house appro-
priations committee, is reliably report
ed to share that view and behind him
are group OF the strongest leaders
in the house.
Advocates of the $3OO,OOO,OOO reduc-
ton are not confident such large
slash can be made. If not $3OO,OOO,OOO
$500, 100000, they say.
The navy is costing approximately
1920, 100000 for this fiscal year and has
asked materially the same amount for
next year, through estimates that were
submitted without regard for the arms
conference. The army received $780,
100000 last year, but has trimmed its
request down to $363,672,714 for the
next year.
In view of the agreements reached
at the conference the navy naturally
will bear the brunt of the trimming.
The army, however, is in for big
reduction also.
