DETROIT. MICH, Mar 27.--With
116.0S0 Ford cars sold at retail in
February new record for The short

lshed February sales exceeded those
OF January by more than $4,000 and
marked the eleventh month in which
Ford sales have topped the 100000
line
This sales record bears out predic-
tions made at the opening of the year
that an acute shortage in Ford cars is
certain and this shortage is expected

car sales.
Yet with even these unfavorable
conditions, the February sales topped
those OF January by IS per cent. and
set new high record for mid-winter
selling.
With February. the eleventh month
in which Ford car sales have gone
over the 100000, the total for this
period is close to 100000 cars.
Peak car sales usually are reached
during the summer months with drops

of automobile absorption by the buy

WASHINGTON, Mar 27.- Rain
making and the dissipation of fogs
and clouds by a process invented by
DR.. L. Francis Warren is a scientific
possibility. and the further perfection
of apparatus no doubt will prove its
feasibility, said DR.. r. b. Moore re-
Gently TO The Associated Press. DR..
Moore is chief chemist of the United
States Bureau of Mines. While he has
not vet had opportunity to see DR..
Warren's apparatus in operation Dr.
Moore has been interested in the
method since its inception and has
had faith in the soundness of the
scientific principle On which it is
based
THE rain-making method consists
in charging a dielectric Ga material
that retains an electric CHARGE such
as fine sand. with a static charge, and
then,s prinkling this sand over the top
of cloud by means of an airplane, y
said DR.. Moore. las everyone knows,
clouds consist of minute particles of
water, a large proportion of which
are charged. ALI the particles in the
same cloud are charged either mega
lively or positively and, therefore. as
they carry the same sign. they repel
each other when they come into too
close contact This mitigates against
the coalescence of the particles into a
Size that allows them to fall through
the atmosphere in the form of rain
Anything which win dissipate the
| charge on the particles will help coal
escence and, therefore, will assist in
precipitation"
Il have had no opportunity for per-
sonal observation" DIR. Moore con
tinued, lin connection with the tests
already made, but have read the aft
davits of the observers. From these
it appears that a single airplane has
been able to dissipate cloud Q mile
or two long and over 1000 deep in a
few minutes by using about 10C

THE apparatus which DR.. Warren
uses for charging the sand is not by
any means perfected, and he is able

NEW YORK. June 1.-THE west is
on the ascension in the National
League and is doing bit better than

With tons of confidence the eastern
leaders of the National swept into

Comtited last week. Should the teams
beyond the alleghanies continue to
display the strength they have shown
recently it would not be surprising
to see three of them in the first di-
vision before another week ends. and
in first place shortly after.
That the New York Giants can be
beaten was shown by both the Chi
caSo Cubs and the Pittsburgh Pirates.
The Pirates did il once after spend

the Brooklyn Robins. The Giants and
Pirates will resume their struggle
today, having rested yesterday, the
series now being even.
The biggest surprise of the week
was the rise of the Chicago CUBS.

Giants and with yesterdays 3 to o

ON THE SIDE LINES

President Griffith today announced
that. he has arranged to loan Out
fielder Dick Wade to the Nashville
club Of the Southern Association in
return for an option on Outfielder
Lance rRichburE. The latter, who
once had trial with the Giants and
since has seen service in the Amerl-
can Association. recently broke
bone in his foot and is expected to
be out of the game for about a
month. Wade will start for Nash
vile tonight and will be returned
when Richburg- Is able to resume
playing.
According to Griff. Richburg was
leading the Southern Association in
hitting at the time he was hurt. He
will report to the Nationals at the
close of this. season, provided his rec
ord justifies Washington exercising
its option.
The game scheduled between the
Browns and Nationals today was
called off at noon because of rain
and wet grounds. There will be a
single contest with st. Louis tomor-
row. The postponed game will be
played off in. the form of double
header when the Browns make their
second visit here next month.
1t is seldom that Zachary receives
the c1outing the Browns gave him
and gets away with it. He was hit
for twelve safeties. totaling eighteen
pases.
Harris made a spectacular catch
for the final out when he dashed far
into right center after Ezzells high

made several stops and throws that
produced yelis of delight from the

without a hit. He spanked several
on the nose, but right at opposing

If only four games are played in

there is a possibility that the share

1t was S247,3o9.71 in 1922. At Il min

winning team would receive about
$1,000, and each loser around $4,000.
The winners might possibly receive
as much as SIC, 900 each. That would
depend on what the owners of the
New York clubs did with their extra
seats and with their charges for the
