NEW YORK, Jan, 23.-If the Fed
eral League is really anxious to go to
the legal mat on the question of the
reserve clause in major league con-
tracts, it appears now that they have
a double-barreled case to squabble
over Returning from an extended
trip yesterday. during which he sign
ed up sixteen players, Charles Ebbets.

made it plain that he was ready to go
TO court with President Baker. Of the
Phillies. if the Fedorals wished to
challenges. Manager Wilburt Robin
son signed up Enos Kirkpatrick for
{ Brooklyn after Kirkpatrick had afIix-
ed his signature to a Federal docu-
ment and is said to have accepted ST.
600 advance money. The advance
cash was returned by Kirkpatrick.
This appears to be a dead open and
shut case for the Federals II they
really believe they can shoot holes
in the reserve clause by appealing to
the courts Ehbets is not worrying.
He joined the ranks of those express
ing the belief that the Federals will
soon be retiring to a Weeghman res
taurant to be sure of a meal. Not
that the restaurants have anything to
do with it, but Ebbets believes the
league is as good as dead now
Reports from Cincinnati declare
that the Federals are figuring on
transferring the Toronto franchise to
Garry Hermann's town If this is
carried through. a merry time is
promised for some manager If the
Cincinnati crowds live up to their
reputation established while sitting
on the remains of National League

LIGHT IS PROBLEM

throughout the country. and the local
officials are keeping in close touch
with every development Until some
device is invented relief will have to
come through regulation.
From Los Angeles, Cal, comes the
word Of simple solution Of the prob
lem. The means consists of q lens
nodded hemispherically and sand
blasted to give a frosted appearance
except for a small oval space slightly
below the center. which is left trans
parent. When seen from the height of
the drivers seat the frosted surface IL
between the eyes and the filament and
one sees only the diffused circle of
light and the form of the approaching
car Is visible.
The beam Of light coming through
the clear oval il centralized on the
road directly and far ahead instead of
as with the old style fiat glass over
widening arc. The road IL made
brighter by the contrast and the DIFF.
fused light coming through the frosted
surface enables the driver to clearly
see the front of his own car, even in
the face Of an approaching binding
searchlight.

(By w. MILTON KELLY
II has always been more or less OF
an unsettled point a. to how much

shall give or take for q bushel of
vegetables. The consumer can sci.
dom estimate how long a bushel or

even though he uses about the same

The size Of the bushel 10 usually
regulated by the price of the article

cheap, the producer and middleman
give liberal measure, but when they
are high and they know that they are

the consumer very small measure.

handling 1t.
At such times the measure il not
