CONCERNING THE PLAZA
DIAMOND.

D ECENTLY we. had occasion to
IN pass by the Union Station Plaza
and stopped to take a look at the
Plaza diamond. where a number of
youthful baseball aspirants were
holding forth.
We were surprised in a number
of ways. pleasantly in some and
very unpleasantly in others.
The first thing to catch our eye
was an apparently new and entirely
adequate looking backstop. Then
we looked further. A large playing
area, a trifle short in right field,
maybe, but that's a common falling.
Plenty long enough in center and
left. .
But drawing nearer the home
plate 1--WE took -a-squint at the play
ing surface itself. Then we shud-
dered. A boy was batting fast
grounders to a likely looking squad
of young inflelders. Once in a while
they got their mitts on the ball.
More often they didn't.
The infield. sun-baked to the hard
ness of a rock, had retained every
.upOh II lOI
months, and as a result was as I'M
even as they make 'em. And the
outfield looked no better.
What chance has a younGster to
protect his face if a hard Grounder
takes a bad hop in that direction?
The few stops we did see may be at
tributed more to luck than anything
else. The great majority of hits got
away entirely, glancing off in every
direction except the one in which
they were originally batted.
We stopped to inquire as to the
chances of Improvement in the dia-
mond and were told. They're going
to pillow it/neXt week" Then an
other kid horned in and opined that
sit will not; it was like this all last
season."
BE that as IL may, the grounds
should he Ievelled on and the
Kids given a real chance to play
ball. And when the grounds
are Ievelcd OF, II wouldn't he a
bad idea to lay out the diamond
properly. From the position OF
the bricks representing bases,
third base II much too far from
home and second IL extremely
close to the pitchers box.

which also travelled about 3,O0O,000 miles and carried passengers prob ably equal in number to those booked by the permanent operators, suffered
 IA accidents, resulting in 49 deaths and injury, more or less serious, to S9. Twenty of these accidents are attrib- uted in whole or in part to inadequate landing fields or to the total lack of terminal facilities.
 In 1921, these air ports totaled but 146, an increase of 26 over 1920. Four accidents are attributed to the lack of weather reports and 10 to the lack of clearly defined routes or limitations in travelling between or over cities. Equal in importance with ascertaining the qualifications of pilot and navigator, is inspection of aircraft and engines. Out of the IA accidents, 22 may be at to faults which proper inspec, tion probably would have revealed-4 the plane. the engine, and an accessory, gas or oil. This inspection must be made at frequent intervals by federal authority.

CAU TIONS
 NECESSARY FOR
 EXTENDED TOUR
Garageman Tells Necessities To be Looked for Before
 Taking Long Journeys

Vacation time is arriving, and nu- merous car owners are contemplating
 a trip overland to the coast. This is the most delightful time to consider long drive across the desert, but be- fore starting it would be we'll to have the ear in perfect mechanical condi-
 tion, says Frank Thayer, garageman of Lowell.
 It is advisable to have the maximum
 amount of power, so valve grinding job is necessary. Have the carbon burned CT scraped, because you will doubtless acquire a great amount of dust and sand, which mixed with an accumulation of carbon causes the valves to function extremely badly.
 New rings are not always necessary, but consIuerable oil will be saved and more nbTer assared you if they are in 3goodf keIldi icnMnd well lItted Hay ing tthe5 cafgir6tpf cleaned and proper llS adfistedss wilI Save gas.
 All bearings 'sheul1 be examined and If loose taken Sup. The crankcase
 should be drained, cleaned and refilled with new oil.f The oil should be changed in q new car, after 500 miles
 running, and after that every 1000
 miles, during the summer. The grit
 and dust which accumulates in the oil i causes a certain amount of wear on | the bearings. The molecules of oil are gradually broken down, and the lubri-
 eating qualities lost. So this detail is
 important.
 The car should be thoroughly
 greased, and if you are a victim of | few nerves, do not neglect having
 bolts frightened to eliminate as many rattles as possible. Have the trans
 mission and differential examined. It i is expensive and disagreeable to have
 rear axle trouble. The least grind
 from this direction should receive at
 tention. The brakes should be in good condition ana any slack or loose-play ;. in the steering wheel taken out. Then
 with good tires, plenty of gas and oil,
 not forgetting an extra canteen of wat
 CT for the radiator, one is assured of 1 a pleasant vacation trip, where car
 troubles are nil.

during stunting, 20 persons being killed and 36 injured-more than 40 per cent, of the total. Tn other words, stunt flying in unrestricted areas was responsible for almost as many casu- alties as all other elements combined. "A governmental system of control, linn iting stunting for training or testing. to certain areas will remove what is probably the most prolific cause of hesitation on the part of the public to believe that flying is reliable.
 From the foregoing it is seen, that flying, even with the burden of un- necessary hazard, imposed through the lack of an aerial code, is not un- safe"

INCREASED PRODUCTION OF ARSDURING MARCH

Production and shipment of auto mobiles showed an increase during March over the preceding month and the same month year ago, according to the March business condition re- port of the Federal Reserve Bank of Chicago. The production of passen- ger cars during March by. manufac, turers representing approximately 90 per cent of the total February produc- tion was 152,512 compared with 98,4S7 by indentical companies in February. Truck production in March was 19,349 from companies reporting 12,S61 trucks built in February. The esti- mated production of passenger cars and trucks during the first quarter of 1922 was 62 per cent over that of the same period in 1921. March shipments also show an increase.

Packard to Make 50
 Per Cent More Cars

DETROIT, May 6.-The directors of the Packard Motor Car Company at special meeting announced that the 'company's schedule of production in it's principal departments would be increased 50 per cent and that 1000 additional workers would be added to its Detroit factory forces.
 The company is at present employ ing $500 factory workers, an increase of 15OO since the first of the year. At the worst period of the business de pression the company's factory em- ployees numbered about 230e.
 Says President Macauley: Tt now develops that the country's purchas. ing power for motor cars is much greater than was believed possible six months ago. Detroit today is a very different city from Detroit at that time. Most of the motor plants in the city are working on heavy production schedules. Packard sold at retail 1473 of it's new model single six cars four days after it was announced People seem to be as keenly interest ed in a new motor as they were a dog en years ago."

STUNT AVIATORS

 AIR ACCIDENTS
Gypsy" Pilots Are Victims Of 40 Percent of Fatal
 Crashes Last Year

NEW YORK, May 6.-Three million miles in cross-country, flight without a fatality is the safety record of avia- ton in the United States in 1921. ac- cording to report just submitted to the secretary of commerce by the Aercnautical Chamber of Commerce of America with headquarters in New York.
 The report is based upon the signed statements of 125 operators in all parts of the United States, with equipment numbering 600 planes. or approxi- mately one-half the total now in com mercial use throughout the country. It is interpreted by officials as an ef- fective answer td the query as to the hazardsof flight invited by recent spec tacular accidents
 Capital Is Lacking
 Three deficiencies, the report states, contributes to the serious embarrass- ment of American aviation-small capital, insufficient terminal facilities and popular doubt as to reliability. The correction of these deficiencies and the consequent opportunity for the rapid growth of aerial transport, de- bends, it is stated, upon federal regu- -NNAOA anu lCdcOAdOlC COulNOA an aerial code
 The report adds that the established operators, having a fixed point of re- sponsibility ,approximated these re- quisites. with the result that in 12 months they actually made 130,736 flights, covering 2.907.245 miles and carrying 122.512 passengers. Only 24 accidents occurred, in which six per sons were killed. On these three were due to unauthorized stuntine. two to carelessness in policing the field and {. onerto storm.
 The report continues: There were 21 persons injured in the 24 accidents These mishaps were due to causes ' which could have been removed by federal regulation or supervision or had landing fields. air routes and weather reports been fully available: f had the field help been more disci- plined; had the pilots been more alert through consciousness of licensed re- sponsibility and had there been gen. eral inspection of aircraft, engines. and supplies. Even so, the record shows that 6701 flights or 13S.- 40 miles were flown for every injury sustained
