Armed With Cleaver, This
 Woman Starts Campaign

Waukesha, Wis, Feb. 23 P1A militant campaign by 8 woman who employees the methods of Carrie Na- ton, brought a promise today from Sheriff Alvin Bedford to clean out illegal slot machines in Waukesha county.
 Using cleaver instead of the Carrie Nation hatchet, Mrs. Florence George, county humane officer, smashed gambling paraphernalia in several places. In each instance, she defied the owners to have her arrested
 Mrs. George said she went after the machines because county au- thorities had failed to act. She as- serted the machines were being played by students from St. JohnH Military Academy and the Episcopal Divinity school at Nashotah.
 In announcing that the machines would be cleaned out by March 15. the sheriff said he had planned such 8 program, but that action had been delayed by other business.

woMaN's WORD FREES MAN

Supernumerary Officer Edward Carroll brought Joseph Babula of B Russell street and Joseph kron of 75 Hartford avenue to police head quarters at II o'clock last night, Babula accusing Kron of having taken his automobile off Church street. kron claimed Mrs. Babula feared the car would be tagged by the police If it was allowed to re- main on Church street, and for that reason asked Kron to drive 1t over to the railroad property. which he did.
 Sergeant O'Mara went to Mrs. Babua's home to learn her version but she was not at home. Later, however. she telephoned to the po- lice and verified Kron's explanation. Her husband insisted on more proof than a telephone verification, so she made a personal visit to the police station and Kron was released.

Ball of Legion Post
 Attracts Large Crowd

Entrancing music, elaborate decor ation and general atmosphere of joy combined to make the annual ball of EddyGlover post, American Legion, at the state armory last eve ming one of the most successful in it's history.
 A departure from the usual GUS. tom of having programs and a grand march was noticed. Decora. lions were in the national colors. red, white and blue. The drill room Of the state armory, the scene of the affair, presented a fascinating pie ture with hangings forming an at tractive background for the gowns of the women.
 Local and state officers and many of the more prominent citizenry of New Britain were included among the attendants. Mayor Gardner C. Weld, a member of the Legion. was present and occupied box.

not come. MT. Fletcher will come. MT. George Is ill. MT. Glass will come. MT. Golf has gone to bed with bad cold.
 MT. Gooding is in bed, but says, All right, I'll come over Mir. Gould has gone to bed. Mr. Harris is sick. MT. Harrison is not at home. MT. Hawes reported that he was in bed. Fbut says he will be here.
 "Mr. Heflin is reported as being i'll and can not come. Mir. Reyes is in bed, but says he will think it over"
 | This brought burst of laughter. T think he is serious about that. and that he Is considering coming, " protested the sergeant-at-arms. Then he resumed his report, in- dlcating that an epidemic had over- taken senators since the early eve- ming. Those reported i'll included King of Utah. Watson of Indiana, and Swanson of Virginia. The re- port from Mclean of Connecticut was that the person answering the l telephone refused to deliver the of- ficer's message.
 Resorts to Power When the senate had heard all l the sergeant-at-arms had to say on these subjects, it decided quickly to resort to its power of arrest over absentees, but it did so only with in- different success.
 Again the senate loafed while the writs were being prepared. At 2 a. m., the ergeant-at-arms reported that "the order of the senate Is being carried out as rapidly as pos- sible, which IS not very rapidly" Gooding of Idaho was the first arrested" senator to show, stalking in at 10 minutes past 2. He was followed ten minutes later by the venerable Ferris of Michigan. Then came Reed of Missouri, head of the campaign funds committee and cus- todian extraordinary of divers writs and subpoenas for summoning re- calcitrants before the bar of the sen- ate. Stalking to his desk. the fiery Missourian said:
 T wish to understand whether or not am under arrest. If am, l want to purge myself of contempt V That was a poser for Senator Robinson of Indiana, one of the new senators. who was presiding.
 Soon after II o'clock King of Utah suggested the absence of a quorum. but leisurely call by the clerk showed 49 senators either re- spending to their names or reported engaged in important business in committee rooms. Several mani- festly had made quick recoveries from the indlspositions which kept them away during the night. They included Watson, George, Heflin and Swanson.
 With the announcement that quorum again was present, Senator Kendrick, Wyoming. began an ad- dress on the importance of the Boulder Canyon dam legislation to the states in the upper Colorado basin. Again the senate quickly emptied, but the galleries began to fill rapidly.
 During the early hours there had been but one spectator in the public gallery, Mrs. Johnson. wife of the California senator, who stayed throughout the night.

PRICES ADVANCE
 IN WALL STREET
Easier Call Money Rates Has
 Its Effect :

New York, Feb. 23 LP1-Easier call money rates and expanding steel mill operations provided the background for another advance in prices in to- days stock market. Pools were ac- tive in both rails and speciaties, but they appeared to encounter stronger resistance, probably because several of the large commission houses had urged their customers to take profits in the expectation of an early tech nical reaction.
 Elevation Of U. s. Steel common to the highest price ever recorded coincided with the announcement that mill operations had increased to above 90 per cent of capacity. A further softening of steel prices brought the Iron Age compose price to the lowest level since August, 1925. Independent steeds also im- proved, with the accumulation of Bethlehem reviving rumors Of a pos sible resumption of dividends this year.
 Despite the increasing demand for funds with the approach Of March l, call money dropped to 34 per cent. Crude Oil price cuts in several sections of the country were prac- tically ignored by the oil sharks. General Asphalt and Houston actual ly showing large gains.
 With the judicial determination of the methods employed by the inter- state commission in it's railroad val uation plan indefinitely delayed by Mondays decision in the Los Ange- les-Salt Lake case. rails continued to gather strength.

is that rnere i a misapplication OF
muscular force. ~oftenest evident in
tense muscles. And the worst
offenders are the legs. Careful ey-
animation Of the stroke by going
through it slowly is a self-cure for
this fault. You do not need a ball
nor to be outdoors. After q few
practice swings. sole the club and
go through the whole swing very
slowly. Nine chances in ten you
will be able TO locate n or more
muscles that tense themselves in
voluntarily. Now begin again with
the club soled and relax every
where, especially the knees. IF you
can look into a mirror during this
relaxation. you may note that the
top of your head Is a fraction Of an
inch lower than it was. Now take
the club back regularly, keeping the
knees relaxed, not bent, and go
through the whole swing again.
You may locate other tense mus
cles. If so, try the swing over and
over until they L all relaxed.
Gradually increase the speed Of the
swing with the certainty that there
is no tensenesA and you have re-
moved the greatest stumbling-blOck
in the way Of golf progress.

THEY ALL FEEL 1T

Even the fashionable shop on
Fifth Avenue, catering to the
whims of the wealthy people OF
the cities, feels it when the farm
ers cease buying. The owner
probably does not trace it back
to the farms. But he feels it,
through the decreased purchases
by the wives of the steel com
pany stockholders. and of the
motor-car manufacturers and by
the thousand and one of his 9th
er customers whose incomes feel
the pinch RICH away.
'The nation is tremendously
prosperous today, to judge by the
volume of business which is be-
ing transacted. But a large share
of this buinesss is being done at
the expense of the farmer, who
has to trade a days labor-twelve
hours at that-for the products
which a factory workman of less
skill and intelligence turns out in
two hours at a machine or factory
bench. This means that he is liv-
ing on his stored-up surplus, if he
lives as well as he did before price
levels took this turn. And he can
not keep this up indefinitely.
ITO sum it up. here is how |
see the farm situation. AS a bus
mess man, | recognize that the
farmers plight is extremely seri-
Gus to business. AS a farmer, |
know that we are not making the
we should make from our
farming activities, and | am not
satisfied that this should be so.
AS a United States Senator, | rec
ognize that the farmer is entitled
to some help-and am sure he
is going to get it," Senator Ar
thur Capper in System.
