GOLF CLUBHOUSE & FAIRWAY <rtf) JjJ DICKv. *&bLm ILLEP^.
PROFESSIONAL golf group of the city has been augmented with a classy player this summer. Ray Clark, formerly the pro at Rea Park municipal course at Terre *Haute, is in charge of the indoor golf school at Em-Roe sporting goods store. Ray not only tells the boys how properly to bang the gutta percha into the net, but now and then he goes out and demonstrates his abiltiy. Par on the Rea Park course is
37-37—74, and on a recent visit to his old stamping grounds, and without previous practice over the course this year, Clark shot two rounds in which he was under par one and two strokes. Ray was two under par going out on his first round and even par coming in. On the second trip he was even

par going out and one under on the “in” trip. So you can see for yourself that he did some mighty perfect shooting on both nines and deserves a world of credit, because the conductor of an indoor school has little time to keep his golf eye on edge and his judgment of distance accurate. Clark’s cards follow: Par—Out 4-5-4-4-4-5-3-5—37 Clark—Out 4-4-4-4-4-3-4-3-5—35 Second round .... 5-5-4-3-4-4-4-3-5—37 Par—ln 4-4-3-4-5-4-4-5-4—37—74 Clark—ln 4-4-3-4-5-3-4-6-4—37—72 Second round .... 4-4-3-4-5-4-4-4-4—36—73 tt o tt Bon Ellis and Frank Fitzgerald won their way to the finals of the Meridian Hills junior tournament Wednesday with semi-final round victories over Bob Rhodehamel and H. L. Simons. Ellis and Rhodehamel played a nip-and-tuck battle that was decided on the last green, where Ellis won, 1 up. Athene time Rhodehamel was two up and Ellis also held that margin of lead at one time. They cut down each other’s lead until at the end of the last putt was made to decide the outcome. u a a Stmonsj- on the other hand, never was in a position to win his match with FitzPterala, going down as the match progressed. Fitzgerald mixed in a beautiful round of golf in the first nine holes to gain a commanding lead, being just long stroke over par with a 36 when the halfway point was reached. The final match wa3 started at 1:30 this afternoon. tt tt a The winner will be given the Meridian Hill trophy and the runn;r-up a valuable golf club. Don Ellis, who shot an 82 in |ihc qualifying round, will be given a spehial prize for being low qualifier. ■ it tt tt ■h HODEHAMEL, who is 14, and Xv. Fitzgerald, who is 18, are certain of going to the Indiana State junior meet at Ft .Wayne the week of Aug. 20. The pair nlby be joined by Ellis, according to George Marquis, assistant pro at Meridian Hills, and if so the Hills boys are likely to go somewhere In the tournament.

HUDSON,ESSEX ARE SHOWN IN FAUJGLQRS Smartness Features New Dress of Cars; All Styles Attractive. Hudson and Essen clrs are avails able in smart fall colors and are being especially exhibited all over the city, according to R. V. Law, Hudson-Essex exhibitor. These colors, declares Law, set off effecthe advanced lines and vogue which characterize the current Hudson ar.d Essex cars. “Attractive lines and colors play a most important part today in the public’s choice of motor cars. Hud-son-Ess’ex sales, which have broken records all this year, have centered largely around style and beauty as well as Super-Six performance,” said Law. “The great achievement in style is to create something permanently attractive. Hudson style designers are interested in producing effects which are more important than seasonal fads. They achieve lines which will be as fundamentally beautiful next season as they are today. Abreast of Vogues "Along with this they keep immediately abreast of advanced vogue and practices. Our latest feature is a standard line of Hudson cars with all fenders and related parts lacquered to match the upper part of the body. This is instead of the usual black enamel, the industry’s standard practice for these items. “Color in tne fenders and related parts give sa wonderfully attractive effect and yet these specially finished cars sell at no advance in price. Hudson has spent $1,000,000 in a special plant to make this possible. , “The growing importance of color is an extremely interesting recent phase of manufacturing. Especially it reflects the strength of feminine influence. We offer colorful cars because feminine taste guides the selection of new automobiles just as it shapes the great majority of expenditures by modern families, and it has decreed a permanent vogue for smart and attractive tones. In Modem Styles “All Hudson-Essex cars this year are offered in modern style and appealing colors. The variety is wide. All the*colors used are practical and of the type that wears well, and yet they have a sparkling and stimulating effect which adds to the enjoyment of owning them. “Hudson-Essex has advanced to thg position of the world’s largest builder of six cylinder cars because its cars meet the requirements of modern style and beauty as well as the best mechanical construction known.” t WILLYS-OVERLAND IS SECOND IN DELIVERIES Reports for May registrations available early in July, which showed Willys-Overland stepping into second place in the industry in total number of new cars delivered to owners, on added significance through the fact that May was a record-breaking month in many sections. / The position of second place in the industry has been achieved by Willys-OVerlafia in five months. In JaAiary, registrations were fifth in the industry and steadily advanced through February, March and April to the present position. All previous Willys-Overland records for six months have been passed and total sales at the present time are close to those for the greatest year in the history of the company.
HUDSON! ' Patents: F-Head Motor The U.S. Patent Office has granted patents to the Hudson Motor Car Company on the “F-Head” high-compression motor. The patent—No. 1,656,051, relating to internal combustion engines—covers the entire arrangement of valves, spark plugs and combustion chamber. * With the new patented design Hudson motors now are built with a compressiorf } ratip of nearly 6to I—or 20 per cent above the average—with correspondingly j standards of acceleration, fuel economy and power. It is practically im- ' possible to make the motor knock under even the most adverse operating conditions. The motor is the liveliest, most powerful and economical Hudson ' ' has ever built. $ 1250 and up All price* /. e. b.

Business Grows; Buy Trucks
Seventeen years ago the Leonard Cleaners, Inc., started in business. They then delivered garments in one-horse wagons. This year the company has demonstrated in one distinct manner its growth in the purchase of ten Chevrolet de luxe delivery cars from the Jones-Whitaker Sales Company. These trucks l will be used in Addition to those units now in service.

VEEDOL CHOSEN FOR BYRD TRIP Famous Lubricant Will Be Used on Planes. When Byrd’s expedition leaves New York to explore the ice plateau of the Antarctic it will be equipped as thoroughly as a modern army, taking the field for a strenuous campaign. “For expeditions, like wars,” says the conqueror of the North Pole and the Atlantic,” are won by preparation.” So the industrial world looks with keen interest on the commander’s choice of supplies and equipment. To “make” the Byrd expedition is equivalent to a medal of hfinor for distinguished merit. It is a gala day for an airplane manufacturer to have one of his models chosen for the polar flights. And the oil industry and automobile world today are discussing the latest announcement —the choice of .the New Vedol motor oil for the planes that will explore the end of the world. For this will be one of the greatest tests ever made of a motor lubricant. When men are fighting 100inile gales, 12,000 feet above ther jagged ice peaks in cold that drives the mercury down to 70 degrees below freezing—there must be no failure. And motor lubricants must do their part. The new Veedol will guard the motors of the two smaller planes when they plant f aches of food and fuel in remote spots' of the polar plateau. It is little wonder that the Tide Water Oil Company counts this as its greatest tribute—that Veedol should be chosen to bear this tremendous responsibility. Auto Deaths Pile Up If a cross were placed along o,ur 600,000 miles of improved highways for each person killed in an automobile accident in the last ten years, says the American Automobile Association, there would be one to every three miles.

BY SWEDE SWANSON The public safety department of the California State Automobile Association finds that the most effective way of curbing reckless drivers is to take away their driver’s ilcense. But States that have no laws requiring drivers’ licenses—and the majority are unfortunately still in that class —can do no such thing. So reckless driving goes on despite arrests, fines and imprisonments. The worst punishment a motorist can get is to be deprived of the use of his car for any appreciable length of time. New York knows it, so does California, for these. States do just that to drivers arrested for violating certain traffic ordinances. Only trained men who have passed an examination may operate a locomotive, points out the National Safety Council. But in many States, any boy or girl, any deaf person, any insane person at large may drive an automobile, which is even more dangerous a machine than the locomoilv j. The locomotive cs.nnot leave the tracks and dash into a crowd. It is controlled by numerous safety control devices, it is constantly inspected and it Is always under the guidance of two men, not one. Yet it is much more difficult to obtain permission to drive a locomotive than it is to drive an automo-

Some showed tremendous gains. Others showed a sharp falling off. The Graham-Paige company showed the largest percentage‘gain of any company, 225 per cent. Packard had a gkin of 89 per cent; Hupp, 84 per cent; Steams-Knight, 75 per cent, and Gardner, 75 per cent. The Ford figures show that the daily output averaged 1,221 in the first six months. Most of the Ford production, however, was in the second quarter, when the company had overcome the greater part of its production difficulties and was getting into its manufacturing stride. bile. Even the most stringent drivers’ license law can’t come up to the demands made upon locomotive engineers. At least it diminishes the chances of accident so prevalent today. It is regrettable that only a minority of the States have as yet adopted such a law.

The “Nationalists” commended courts and officials for "eradicating” public officials found guilty of misconduct and registered a "positive stand for the enforcement of the prohibition law,” opposing any effort to repeal any part of the present law.
