Major League Shortstops Lead All in Making
Errors

Big league shortstops make more
errors during the course of q sea-
sons play than do players in any
OF the other positions. In fact,
they make on the average about
twice as many as do their various
CO-WOrkerS.
Last year, Emory Rigney of the
Detroit Tigers turned in the most
miscues in the American League
He made so. one more than the
total hung up by Joe Sewell of the
Cleveland Indians. All told, Rig

Why do shortstops pile up the
most miscues? One reason is that

Gas.Tar Protects Concrete Against
Alkaline Waters

In its search for a means Of pro-
tecting Portland Cement concrete
against the action of alkaline waters,
the Bureau of Public Roads. United
States Department Of Agriculture,
announces promising results from
treatment with a very fluid crude
water-gas tar, such as may be OBJ
tanned as a by-product from many
artificial gas plants. So successful
have the tests been that further in
vestigations of the alkali-resisting
properties of Fabricated concrete and
mortar are under way and the pro-
tective effect of water gas tar on
mass concrete structures is being
studied.
The treatment consists of simply
immersing the concrete in the liquid,
which is soaked up, even by dense
concrete. Cement drain tile treated
in this way and stored from six to
eight months in strong alkali solu :
ton have shown no indications of
disintegratiOn, and samples tested
for tensile strength were as strong
as those stored in pure water. On
the other hand. untreated samples
showed both disintegration and a
loss of strength.
In certain parts of the country
where alkali salts exist concrete drain
tile and concrete structures have
been attacked. In many such places
concrete is a very desirable material
on account of the accessibility of the
materials that go into it. The bu-
reau's Investigations aim to devise
means of using concrete with assur-

French Honor Taxicab Elect

signally honored by the ministry Of

in the historic battle which saved

fresh troops from Paris almost to the
actual fighting area, where the
French left wing was seriously

The chauffcurs who were all too
old to fight, were conscripted as they
drove along the streets. Their pas

five soldiers were put aboard each

Indications Point To
Big Nash Year

Mash Motors on January 9, had
on hand more orders for delivery this
month than were booked in any pre-
viOus month in the history of the
company with the exception of May
and June OF last year." according to
. Il report just received by Wadleigh &
Son of Augusta. The year just
closed was the greatest twelve
| months period in the history of The
, Nash Motors Company. Total sales
of Nash passenger cars in 1922 more
than doubled shipments made the
previous year.
Zone interesting phase of the 1922
record is that the last six months Of
the year eclipsed the first half period
in point of sales. In other words,
1.005 more cars were shipped by the
factory from July !. to December 81,
than were shipped between January
I. and June GO. which period inciud
cd of course, the natural spring de-
nand.
Improvements and refinements
which began going into Nash cars
the latter part of the year and which
have been completed for the. auto
mobile shows have met with Instant
approval on the part of the public
with the result that for months past
the demand has left the factory in
an oversold condition. This has re-
suited in plant extension now in pro-
cess Of completion.

secretively engaged in getting to-

The night OF the ball arrived and

steamer rugs and blankets, predom-

One Of the most novel costumes
noted among the men was worn by
chap who weighed about three hun.

little trouble maker. Cupid. One
would think that it should have been
an easy matter to guess his identity,
but it happened that there were three
other passengers Of about the same

times with the senorita, carrying ON
a desperate Irritation. AS soon as the
dance ended, Cupid and the senofita
strolled away to the other side OF the
deck and sought steamer chairs in 4
shaded mock under one of the COM
panionways.
The sonorita told Cupid that she
was not going to unmask, and he
was thrown into the depths of de.
spair Realizing that the ship was due
in port the next day, he asked her TO
tell him how he would be able to rec

seconds, then told him that she would
be near the gangway and that as he
passed she would whisper the words.

the dancers and true to her word.
when the time came for unmasking
the senorita had disappeared and
Cupid could find no trace of her any,

The following morning when the

He wheeled in establishment and
looked for the senorita, but there
was no one there but Purser Hughes.
Cupid looked at the smiling Hughes.

The Old Mechanic Saws.

"Covering the radiator in winter is
difficult proposition if good result
are hoped for. It's more than a
matter of stepping into an accessory
store and purchasing 4 covering de-
vice, because the addition of alcohol
or other anti-freeze solutions changes
conditions. The main point in COW
ers is to cut the air off just enough
so that the motor won't boil over.
Thus a driver may find that the de-
vice he purchases covers too much OF
the radiator core and that he is OBJ
lged to keep taking the device off and
putting it on again. Before any of

ing heavy black,paper over the lower

Paper shuts off some of the draft of
