 College officials believed the girl may have been despondent because she was low In her studies although she had improved her standing since the Christmas vacation.
 No Poiaon Soad
 Detective Daly determined that no Northampton drug store had 1ld poison to a girl of Miss Smiths age for many weeks. He discarded tho theory that she might have begged ride from . passing motorist be- cause of her shy disposition.
 The possibility that she might have gone to Amherst where Ter parents maintain g summer home was exploded after thorough search of bull ijnss and ground.
 Her father secuted the likelihood that 8 love affair was at the basis of his daughters disappearance and declined to discuss her friends in New York city.
 Miss Smith had neither extra clothing nor money with her and no jewelry except for a small gold ,ring ornamentei with black enamel wine which she wore on the fourth finger of her right hand.
 A pocket book containing S7 was found in her room while her check book showed she had not withdrawn any money in several weeks
 Search Intensified
 The first two steps ordered today at the college were a thorough search of all the institutions build ings and an examination of all rub bish and waste paper baled within the last week. The latter move was ordered in the hope that 1t might disclose letter scraps which would throw light on \ possible disappear ance motive. Simultaneously a cir cular description and photograph of the girl was sent out to chiefs of P0IlNC VI HSdIUy lOW Ho.
 Detective Daly found himself faced with number of tips from persons who believed they might have seen Miss Smith. One of these came from a farmer of Westhamp- ton about six miles from here. He reported he had observed a. girl re- sembling Miss Smith on Saturday.
 Daily planned to check up on his story as soon as possible.
 Northampton, Jan. 16 UP)-
 Miss Smith entered the college last September after graduating from Milton Academy in Milton. Mass. Friends described her as be- ing quiet and shy.
 The following description of the missing girl has been broadcast:
 Age, IS: five feet. five inches tall; weight. 1So pounds; light brown hair, shading to reddish: blue-gray eyes. sl.
 At the time of her disappearance. Miss Smith wore a terra cotta coat with brown fur collar, orange flame dress with tan collar and cuffs, and tan shoes and stockings. She may have worn no hat.
 She wore a gold ring with black enamel vine decoration on the fourth finger of her right hand.
 Miss Smiths disappearance re- called the case of Miss Alice Corbett of Utica, N. Y.. who left Smith col- iege on November 13, 1925. never to return. By strange coincidence, both girls disappeared on Friday the 18th.

IS Cruisers Minimum

A minimum of Is cruisers repre- sents the absolute need of the navy 10 protect American commerce in time of war, in the opinion of Ad- miral Charles F. Hughes. chief of naval operations. He declared to- day before the house naval commit tee that this number of cruisers should always be on hand in the event of an emergency.
 The admiral said that the total minimum requirement in cruiser strength was 43. of which 2S would be required for work with the fleet and other assignments. He added that if 15 cruisers were not available it would be practically impossible for the navy to affoId adequate pro- lection to Americas farflung trade routes.
 Representative McClintic, demo- crat. Oklahoma, insisted that the navy should have additional airplane carriers and questioned Hughes closely as to his views regarding this type of fighting ship as compared with cruisers, The admiral did not discount the value of the aircraft carrier, but said that his recom- mendations for total of 43 cruisers represented, in his opinion. tho min- mum need of the navy.

KEEP GOLF GAME WELL BALANCED

balanced, brit nearly everyone has
to learn it," he said
Play Par Golf
He admitted that some players
like Hagen can be inspired into
super-golf by desperate circum-
stances, but he argues that if
sound par golf had been played on
each hole the good golfer would not
find himself many times in such
desperate circumstances that he
would have to save himself with the
successful execution OF an impos-
sible shot.
playing your man instead Of
playing par gets You into playing
his game" Mackenzie said. LAS
long as he is shooting well you
probably will keep with him to the
best of your game AMI you get into
the groove Of just doing that well.
Eut when he dubs a shot You let
down with him at the same time
with the thought that it will be
easy for you ;,al five times out If
ten you will fall down just like he
did"
Like the vas. majority of other
golfers, Mackenzie pays tribute to
Bobby Jones as the superb and the
perfect artist. He rates Jones and
George Duncan as the perfect sty-
lists, but he leans TO Bobby as the
only one from whom every g']fcr
can learn something Of everything.
He suggests that there is orly
one way to tell anyone how to be-

champion and it is the easiest way
because volumes and a complete
