Gene SaraZen on his last record
breaking round at Skokie a few
years ago, when he came in with a
60 for the title. one stroke better
than John Black and Bobby Jones,
gave vent to a Sa1vo of applause
Gene had just stuck one up in the
corner of the seventeenth green, a
space about - feet wide, where
the pin had been placed, from some
IS yards away.
That night SaraZen told me of
his mashie play and how he had
worked with it all the Spring of
1922 in order to have 1t win the
United States Open for him that
June. He plays this shot with ma.
chine-like perfection. What i'm.
pressed me most with his method
vas the fact that he had the shot
down so perfectly that he attempt
ed and succeeded in having the face
of his ashie make contact with
the ball on the downswing just an
instant before his machie cut into
the turf. He felt that 1t gave him
a cleaner and truer shot, one that
carried straight for the pin and
would stop on reaching the green.
Such a shot, too, so Gene claims,
will hold the line in wind better
than one played with the mashie
face meeting the turf and ball at
the same time. .zAaA-4SEs xakAA.--A

DRUGGISTS PROTESTING
 PROPOSED WHISKEY LAW
Declare They Would eB Left to Mercy of the Bootlesgcrs if
 It Passes,

Washington, aJn. 13 P) - The public and retail druggists would be left ito the mercy of the boot leg trust" by enactment of the treasury bill to authorize manu- facture by corporation of medi- cinal whiskey. Eugene Brokmeyer, representative of the National Re- tail Druggist association, testified today before the house ways and means committee.
 There is nothing In the bill, he declared, to prevent the richest bootleggers" from coming into pos session of the corporations stock and nothing to prevent adulteration and misbranding of whiskey. The 4,000 members of the association, he said, opposed the bill on the further ground that it would break down the present distribution sys- tenn, delay delivery to the drug stores, and would injure the drug gists by eliminating competition in the sale of wniskey.
 A charge that propaganda was being noated against the bill was made by Representative Mills. re- publican. New York, when Repre- sentative Childbloom, republican. Illinois, presented a resolution ex- pressing the opposition of Chicago retail druggists. Mir. Brokmeyer re- torted that the druggists had been denied participation in the treasury conferences at which the measure was drafted and that the treasury had been flooding the country al- most daily with propaganda" in favor of the bill.

Judge Hand Amends Libel
 Against Private Coach

New York. Jan. B R-FederaI Judge A. N. Hand signed a decree permitting U. s. Attorney Buckner to amend the libel against the private car Of Vice-president George Le Boutiilier of the Long Island rail- road, MT. Buckner said this would enable the government to proceed Tn its action for the sale of the car.
 The railroad had moved to dis miss the libel on the ground that the seizure of the car was not coincident with the seizure of the liquor found therein. The government contended the time of seizure was unessential and that "the true facts of the case" were that intoxicating liquors were seized. that the steward in charge of the car pleaded guilty on May 19. 1924 and was fined $500 Forfeiture of the car is sought under section 26 of the national prohibition act as vehicle transporting liquor."

 credit conditions, reflected in soften- i ing money rates and huge imports
 of gold provided the background for
 another advance in prices in todays
 stock market. Despite the large
 volume of new financing this month, the investment demand showed no signs of abatement. Except possibly to restrict trading on the part of timid traders and investors, the re- cent developments in the Mexican Nicaraguan situations appear to have had little market effect.
 While no reduction in the New York federal reserve bank redis- count rate is expected in conserva-
 tive banking quarters . at today's meeting, the trend of money rates would seem to warrant a cut in the near future.
 Oil, food, chemical and equipment shares also presented several points of strength. with the demand cen tering largely ill the seasoned divi- dend paying shares.

OIL COMPANIES ID
 TAKE PRECAUTIONS
Installing And-Lightning Alp
 paratuS at Tanks

Los Angeles. Jan. 12 F--The dis- armament of Jupiter by robbing his chief weapon. lightning, of It's ter TOTS Is being undertaken by the Pan- American Petroleum Go. here in the installation of new system of pro- lection over the largest reservoir for oil storage in the world.
 Colonel Ernest H. Wilcox. chief engineer of the Pan-American Co.,, in announcing the installation of the new system today said that it is the first effort that science has recorded to prevent lightning strokes. It is known as the Cage system of light ming protection. invented by John Milton Cage of Los Angeles.
 The system takes advantage of the fact that the actual amount of elec- tricity in a lightning stroke is rela- lively small, having been estimated at a commercial value of 30 cents. The destructive power Is caused by the sudden release of the energy in about ten or twenty millionths of 8 second. The function of the system is merely to discharge this energy in the same period of the>time required to build 1t up, a matter of one or two minutes.
 The apparatus consists of a series of points or barbs on wire which is installed on poles in circular forma- tion around the area to be protected. the poles being 80 to 100 feet high. There are three strands of wire. These are connected to ground wa ter, and to all metallic points such as pipe lines, the reinforcing of the cement reservoirs, wire fences and other conductors. It makes an elec- trical path for the return of the current to the storm clouds in the same degree as it comes to the earth in rainfall.
