 It is fundamentally important to have balance in the putting stance, as we'll as for the other swings in this game of golf. Good balance without tension is impossible to ob- tain in a crouched position, and ten- sion, we all know, flinders a rhyth- mic swing.

Farm Board commended in a radio

Charges that the Farm Board is to

But unfortunately" he asserted,
some persons who are friendlXv to the
farmers interests are being taken in by
this propaganda and are misled into
asking for changes in the boards poll

public that the Grain Sterilization Cor

such a way as to impose the minimum
burden on domestic and world prices.
Complete withholdings of these sup

ARMED AIR FORCES
HUNT DESPERADOS
Two Planes Search for Band
That Robbed Bank and
Wounded Policemen.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
GREEN BAY, Wis, July ala band
Of robbers, carrying machine guns, held
up the Southside State Bank yesterday,
obtained $4,000 in loot and escaped in
two automobiles after wounding three
policemen and smuggling several bank
employees and customers.
Their escape was made after gun
fight with the police and in spite OF
pursuit by two airplanes, mounted with
machine guns
While only three men entered the
bank, authorities believed two or more
were awaiting in automobiles.
The police were called while the
hold-up was In progress. AS the police
car pulled up in front of the bank it
was sprayed with bullets from ma
chine gun fired from a sedan. Detec-
tive Martin Burke and Chief Hawley
returned the fire, wounding one man
who had jumped from the sedan. Mrs.
Harold Malchow, who witnessed the
shooting from her automobile, said, Il
saw man run from the bank" carry
ing bag In his hand. He jumped into
a large car from which another man
was shooting Across the street could
see an officer shooting at the robbers
from behind tree. 1.-THE car started
quickly and dashed around corner"
Inc Otner TWO followed from Cne Dirk
and jumped into the sedan. Heading
out of town it was preceded by another
car, witnesses said.
When the men entered the bank,
Frank v. Slupinski, assistant cashier;
four employees and three customers were
ordered to lie on the floor, but were
dubbed in spite of their willingness to
obey. Slupinski was struck over the
head when he said that all the money
was in the cages. Earl Cayer, teller
likewise was dubbed.
Chief Hawley, Detectives Burke and
De Love and Officer Elmer Denamur
were the police who engaged in the
gunf1ght.
Chief Hawley was cut by flying glass
when bullets punctured the car. De
Love was shot in the left eye and in
the left arm. Efforts were being made
to remove bullets from his head at st
Mary's Hospital. His condition was re-
ported serious. Burke was cut about
the head by flying glass.
Shortly after the robbery Omcel
Denamur took OF in o plane to search
for the cars. Later another plane
joined the search.

NEW j. s. CRUISERS
POORLY BALANCED
Changes Ordered to Stop
Rolling Developed on
Trial Cruises.

Repairs designed to counteract the
excessive roll developed in recent trials
of the Nays eight new 10,000-ton
cruisers were ordered by the Navy De-
partment yesterday.
The balance imperfection was the
second discovered in the new ships
during their "shake-down" cruises sew
eral weeks ago. Installation of new
rudder posts in six of the eight newly
completed craft. was necessitated when
the original posts cracked under the
strain of simulated battle conditions.
Navy to Bear Cost.
While the major cost of the new rud-
der pivots will be borne by the con-
tractors the Nevy Department must
pay for the alterations required to re-
duce the roll. The cost OF this WORK
was not announced.
Naval officers had believed for some
time that the new vessels, embodying
many new developments in naval ar
chitecture, might roll too must to afford
good gun platforms, but the defect did
not become definitely apparent until
the vessels were put to the severe test
of battle practice in all kinds OF
weather. The roll proved to be such
that improvements were found neces-
Sary.
The first two cruisers to undergo the
alterations will be the Pensacola and
the Northampton. The former is to be
repaired at the New York NAVY yard
and the latter at the Norfolk navy
yard. The Pensacola will be ready for
duty on August l and the Northamp-
ton on September Is.
Two Changes Ordered.
Two types of Improvements have

the roll will be eliminated by the in
stallation of anti-rolling tanks, which
are large containers filled with water.
When the ship rolls too much to one
side the tank on the opposite side pulls
it back to center. The second ship is
to be equipped with wider bilge keels,
which will serve the same purpose.
Naval architects explained that the
roll is due to the fact that the cruisers
were given lower center of gravity tt

which were installed. These cruisers
are lighter in weight than the Older
ones, due to improvements in armol
and other important details, and theil
ornaments are different. The imper.
fections, it was said, can be taken care
of without impairing the efficiency Of
the vessels.
Officers said such occurrences are tt

ly different design are put into service

precisely how new types Of ships vii

conditions and invariably 1t Is neces

now under construction will have thes,

daughter of the late John B. Hen
derson, jr. Carter said he was let in
on the alleged deception scheme. The
chauffeur told of driving Mr.. and Mrs.
Henderson, jr., from the old Hender-
son home in Arlington County to the
railroad station for trip from which
they returned few days later with a
baby girl. The baby was named
Beatrice.
Carter said Mrs. Henderson did not
know of the deception until after the
death of Mr.. and Mrs. Henderson. Jr.
The chauffeur revealed the facts to Mrs.
Henderson after some question had been
raised as to the girls parentage. Mrs.
Henderson said she told Beatrice OF
what she had learned.
Apparently it was about the time OF
the revelation that Mrs. Henderson took
out the secret adoption papers, which
were kept sealed in the courts until a
few months ago. In the adoption petit
ton Mrs. Henderson said that Beatrice
was adopted by her son and daughter
in-law and that she has always been
regarded as a blood relative OF the
HenderSons.

MOB VISITS HOME
OF 4MA' KENNEDY
Honeymoon Cottage Deserted
Except for Swarm of
Souvenir Hunters.
Special Dispatch to The Star.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
HERMOSA BEACH, Calf, July al
Although Ma Kennedy placed a big "for
sale" sign in the front yard and drove
away early Monday, the dwelling known
as Honeymoon Cottage and Heartbreak
House was by no means deserted. Mrs.
Minnie Kennedy, mother OF Evangelist
Aimee Semple Mcpherson, said she was
bound eventually for Catalina Island.
Rev. Guy Edward Hudson, bridegroom
of a few weeks, is in seclusion pending
a divorce suit which Mrs. l.. Margaret
Newton Hudson, who says she Is still
his wife, intends to file.
But Honeymoon Cottage Is, neverthe-
less, the center Of attraction Tor scores
of souvenir hunters. There used to be
a perfectly good clothes-line in the rear
yard. In various lengths it now adorns
homes of various earnest collectors.
Slips have been nipped from the
peranium beds. Leaves have been
9arnered from the two tiny FIG trees.
Chips of wood, pebbles and splinters
from the towering ships mast in the
side yard have not eluded the eyes OF
memento connoisseurs:
Somebody discovered q small plot Of
ground which looked as though Rev.
Hudson had intended to plant garoen
when former matrimonial ties united
his latest marriage. A man in a big
car scooped several handsful OF the
new earth and bore it away in fold
of newspaper. Other visitors penclled
their initials on the front door which
bore a neat card asking that important
mail be forwarded to Los Angeles
address. The card was signed signlfl-
cantly M A. Kennedy.
A visitor observed through a bulge
in a drawn curtain one Of Ma Ken
nedy'S stockings upon shelf. With
infinite patience and bit Of wire the
visitor contrived to hook the stocking
through a crack beneath the window
and to carry it off in triumph.
Ma Kennedy wore a pink and black
lowered silk gown when she drove
smartly toward Los Angeles. On her
head was a jaunty straw hat with up
turned brim and jaunty smile wreeth-
ed ner lips. She is. as she has herself
said, not one to dwell in the shadows.

PARIS, July 21.-In 28-page docu-

disarmament the government today
asserted that since the League Of Ma

of her own accord, has proceeded to
reduce her ornaments, but always in
view of her peculiar geographical stu
alton and bearing in mind that she has
been invaded three times in the past
century.
Interdependence of land, sea and air
forces is extremely important to France,
the memorandum asserts, yet land
forces were reduced by cutting the

to one year. The land forces of the
