q. Guiding factors in the grooved swing that you see in the experts are the left arm and side. Use of the straight left arm is the only way. a grooved swing can be .at- tained. fs
 By keeping the left arm straight in the backswing. the shoulders turn on an axis practically down the center of the body. The left shoulder always follows a definite path. as does the left hand at the end of the straight left arm.
 But suppose the right hand con troiled the backswing. From the moment the club is started back the right arm is bent and has little chance to travel along a definite path. It is working in space and, as the bend in the elbow is inc creased and diminished, there in nothing in tho right arm or side to control the swing. .s

THE NUT CRACKER
By COL. JOE O,GOnETY

A ran suggests that the new name for the team formerly known as the Robins be the Horses" be- cause "a horse can sleep standing up." Another reason for that mon- ticker might be the fact that the Flatbush fans excel in administer ing the horse laugh.
 Another suggestions Is "MOthcr Carey's chickens" after Manager Max Carey, a name which might be shortened to "Chicks." A few members of the team, however, still would be eggs.
 Carey announces that he will teach the team to play thinking baseball. Maybe the club should be called the Inteiligentsias.
 The club might bc niclxnamcd the Crows provided the boys could show caws. (Joseph, you old jcs. ter.)

DELAWARE CROP REPORT
Dry and Warm Weather During
September Damages Crops

September weather was general
ly dry and warm resulting in dam
age to nearly all unharvested crops
particularly potatoes and sweet po-
tatoes, according to Richard G.
Ross, agricultural statistician for
Delaware. Indicated production of
potatoes is now placed at 100000
bushels compared with $4,000 in
dicated September 1, $4,000 pro
duced last year and $4,000 the ten
year average 1919-1928. Sweet po-
tato indicated production of 40, 900
bushels is likewise below last
months estimate of $4,000 bush
els. Production in 1881 was ,4OO,-
000 bushels compared with $4,000
bushels the ten year average, 1919
1928. Production of corn is placed
at 4,104 900 bushels and buckwheat
at 5000 bushels. Production OF
both of these two crops is below
last year and below the average
for the ten years 1919-1928. Fruits:
Small sized apples resulted from
the dry weather and desirable col
ors failed to develop. Grapes did
not suffer quite as much as usual
from insects and diseases. Milk
cows were producing about 11.9
pounds of milk per COW daily on
October /, compared with 14.3
pounds reported October I last
year, and 14.1 pounds in 1880 The
average is about 1875 pounds.
Egg production continued to de-
cline during September, but aver
age daily layings on the first of
October were reported to be fairly
high when compared with other
years.

SAFETY COUNCIL
GIVES ADVICE
Five Per Cent of Automobile
Drivers Are Poor Drivers
and 33 Per Cent, Average
TOO MANY ACCIDENTS

At the recent Annual Meeting of
the National Safety Council held in
Washington, D. c., the Nations S
traffic experts reached the conclu-
sion that about five per cent of all
automobile drivers are poor drivers.
An operator who has three or more
accidents in the course of five years
comes under the poor driver rating
Thirty-three per cent of the driv-
ers are average they have one or
two accidents in five years and the
remainder, which means a very
definite majority, who do not have
any accidents at all The Della
ware Safety Council emphasizes
that in spite of this our traffic ac-
cident toll is far from what it
should be. Apparently a careless
few are responsible for this ghast-
ly highway slaughter. It certainly
is unfair to allow a thoughtless few
to jeopardize the lives and property
of the majority. In Delaware 20
people have been killed on our
highways during the present year.
If you are among the majority you
have a right to register a mighty
protest against the carelessness
that is SO prevalent on our streets.
If you are among that unpopular
five per cent you had better make
a careful analysis of your driving
habits in an effort to determine the
cause of your accidents. One point
which many drivers apparently lose
sight of is that tired drivers are
more susceptible to accidents than
drivers who only drive a reasonable
number of miles per day and have
had a sufficient amount of rest be-
fore starting on the trip. Fatigue
is not only caused from lack of
sleep. Improper food may cause
it. Hours of driving in a cramped
position viii help bring on fatigue.
Worry is another potent cause. Any
one of these factors make safe
driving difficult Any two or more
of them combined makes driving a
dangerous occupation.

UNIT OF
NEWARK CHURCH
New Structure Includes Social
Hall, Dining Room, Kitchen,
and Reception Rooms
SERVICES DURING WEEK

With Bishop Edwin II. Hughes,
p. D., LID, of Washington, DC,
the speaker, the Educational Build
ing of the Newark Methodist Epis-
copal Church was dedicated Sun
day morning with about 900 people
in the congregation. An entire
week Of special services will be de-
voted to the dedication of this new
unit, built at cost, including
equipment, of S51, 900. The Edu-
cational Unit includes a spacious
social hall, dining room with a
modern kitchen and all appliances,
ladies parlor and numerous class
rooms. A new organ has been in
stalled at a cost of $4,000 and the
old church room redecorated. A
new heating system has been in
stalled for the entire building. This
building, finished under the direc-
ton of the Rev. Walter E. Gunby.
has been the result Of gradual and
steady growth over period of
years. The first preaching place Of
Methodism in Newark was in the
Market House, which stood in front
Of the present Academy building.

from place to place. halted lorg

was perhaps the founder of Meth
odism in Newark, as it was in his
house the first class was held, the
services being continued there un-
til 1872, when the first Methodist
Church building was erected on
ground of the present cemetery on
Chapel street, costing approximate
ly $4,000. In 1852 new church
building was erected on Main
street, which was destroyed by fire,
July, 1861. The following Spring
work of rebuilding was begun, cost
ing $4,000 and in 1865 the build
ing was dedicated. Bishop Simp-
son preaching for the occasion.
During 1904, an entrance was add
ed to the church as a memorial.
Several years later, a small addi-
ton was added to the rear to house
a heating plant, displacing the coal
stoves in the Sunday school room,
and also electric lights displaced
the old kerosene lamps. In the
spring Of 1922, serious considera-
ton was given to remodeling the
present church edifce, to care for
the growing church school. After
plans were submitted for new
church it was found that the cost
would be beyond the ability of the
congregation to handle, so the pro-
ject lay dormant until he fall of
1881, when a building committee
was appointed by the congregation
to consider the matter of adding an
educational unit to the present
building. This was realized as
above mentioned.

TEACHER RETIREMENT PLAN
Mrs. Laural G. Walls of Lincoln,
Makes Survey of Retired Teachers

Mrs. Laural Calhoun Walls, of
Lincoln, Del, who was appointed
last May by the State Board of
Education to make a survey in
Delaware, in order to determine the
number of school teachers in the
State Cout of service) who have
taught thirty years or more, in the
schools Of Delaware, has found
only a few teachers living in this
class. Up to the present time,
only twelve teachers out of service
have filled out the questionalre and
met the requirements. Prof. John
Shilling, superintendent Of high
schools has worked out an annuity
plan, whereby teachers in service
may contribute certain amount
of their salary, retire at a certain
age, and become self-supporting.
The bill was presented to the last
Legislature, and was passed by the
House of Representatives, and the
Senate. Inasmuch as there was
no provision made for teachers
leaving service, it did not meet the
approval of older teachers, and it
was not signed by the Governor.

SOME SIDE LIGHTS
OF NEW YORK CITY
Told BY Walter Trumbull in
His Own Immical Way
of DOings in City
INTERESTING SKETCHES

On the way to dine at the Stork
club, which used TO be Haywood
Broun's rendezvous with food and
now is Bill Corum's favorite restau-
rant, my wife called my attention
TO the tremendous change in New
York in the past two years. In for
mer days, before renting an apart
ment, you always looked to see
whether there was a vacant lot or
an old building next door. Should
there be either of these things, the
chances were that building soon
would be going on, which meant
that riveting machines would be in
cluded in your lease. They would
start their clatter early in the morn
ing and continue until the evening
shadows fell. Anti-noise societies
used to have spasms of indignation
and Franklin p. Adams used to
write scathing paragraphs, but old
man riveter just kept roaring along.
Those were the golden days Of 80.
Old Twenty-niners can remember
when streets were blocked with
boards, beams. and piles of bricks;
when pedestrians walked through
block after block of protective and
temporary wooden tunnels; when
bathtubs and other fixtures stood
Grated on the sidewalks and plumb
ers, carpenters, plasterers, steel
workers, and masons each contrib
uted their brass filings, sawdust,
lime puddles, steel shavings, and
brick and plaster particles to the
city ozone But this is 1882. The
air is clean and so are the streets.
The sight of building litter would
be as welcome as the discovery of
land to Columbus. The sound of a
riyeting machine would be a witch
ing strain. About the only place
you can see and hear construction
going on is around Rockefeller Cen
ter. And a fellow can't hang around
there all day. We are thinking of
asking Dean Aylesworth to use his
influence to get a riveting machine
IS minutes a day on the air. The
great radio audience would tune
in from Maine to California.
Edward G. Robinson, the film ia
vorite. looks quite bit like Emil
Fuchs, the baseball magnate. They
say that Judge Fuchs. as a criminal
lawyer, never lost a decision. Ed
Anthony and Frank Buck have been
literary collahOratcrs. Ed might
have caught the animals, but Frank
never could have written the
books. The Ed Anthony and Charles
Dana Gibson domes compare very
favOrably with those Of the Cap
itol at Washington. The Martin
