PACIFIC OCEAN IS
 NOW DOUBLE TRACKED

SAN FRANCISCO, April 5.-Traf- flee on the Pacific ocean has become so heavy in recent years that steam ship companies have found it neces- sary, for the sake of safety, to "dou- ble track" the waterways, according to the United States Photographic of flee here. Routes affected by the de- cision are: Seattle Yokohama, San Fancisco- Honolulu, and Honolulu To- kohama.
 The Pilot Chart of the North Pa cific for March shows well-defined routes which masters of vessels must follow. Of the three routes, on only one, from Seattle to Yokohama, is it required that the vessels keep to the right" Vessels bound from San Francisco to Honolulu pass to the south of those eastbound, and the same obtains with those on the Homo lulu Yokohama run. The keep to the right" rule, the Photographic office explains, cannot be applied at sea as readily as on land because fogs, pre- vailing winds, ocean currents, and other factors must be taken into con sideration.
 As yet no necessity has been found for planting traffic "cops" on brooches buoys out in mid-Pacific, but optim istic shipping men believe that this may yet come to pass.
 "Double tracking" the steamship lanes of the Atlantic has been Tn prac tice for some years. This is the first time, however, that the system has
 been put into operation on the Pa cific.

WASHINGTON RELIC GIVEN
 TO RESIDENT OF ILLINOIS

BELLEVILLE, H., April 5.-A snuff box said to have been given George Washington while he was President is now the property of Henry Williams, Jr., of this city. The box, besides being a receptacle for snuff, contains a drawer and com partments for quill and ink, and is said to have been made from branch of an oak three centuries ago.
 It is said to have been sent to Washington by the Earl of Buchan. It was carried in the Battle of Fall kirk, in Scotland, July, 129S, it is related.
 Washington returned it to the Earl it is stated, but ultimately it came into the possession of naval com modore, who gave it to Miss Clark of Delaware. Miss Clark later mar ried and became the mother of Vol ney L. Williams, a pioneer settler here.

OLD CITY LAWS, DATING
 BACK TO 1742, FORBID
 SUNDAY WORK AND DRINK

LANCASTER, Pa, April 5.-Lab- orders in clearing out an old vault in the City Hall here accidentally dis covered several volumes containing the minutes of Lancaster's bur gesses, dating from 1742 down to 1918, when the charter, under which the city now operates, was obtained. They are of great historical value. According to the borough ordi- nance, dated 1743, any person drink ing in Lancaster on Sunday was fined one shilling six pence. An ordinance dated 1744 included a provision forbidding the galloping of horses through the streets, and also prohibited unnecessary work on the Sabbath Day, except in the case of butchers.
 A clause in the borough ordinance dated 1745 named a penalty of ten shillings for persons allowing flames to issue from the chimneys of their homes when the flues were on fire. The ancient records. which are righ- ly prized by the older citizens, have been placed in charge of the Lan- caster Historical Society officials.

FARM PESTS COST
 BILLION EACH YEAR

WASHINGTON, April 5.-A bil- lion dollars year is the board bill of uninvited farm and fruit pests which have come to the United States from foreign lands, according to Chairman c. L. Marlatt of the Federal Horticultural Board. Two hours of every days work on the farm or in the garden and orchard goes to feed these guests, Dr. Mar latt says.
 There are at least 100 major plant pests and many hundreds of minor pests which have been imported, but there are thousands of other pests, insect and plant, that have not gained entry into the United States and which the Federal Horticultural Board is endeavoring to keep out.
 Fifteen quarantines are being en- forced now, and in connection with these, efforts are under way to eradicate the pink bollworm, the cit rus canker, and the Parlatoria date scale. The other recently established pests, including the European corn borer. the Japanese beetle, the pine blister, etc., are recognized now as permanent factors in the agriculture of the country, and for these, re- tardation of spread is the only hope left. This eradication and control work is being conducted by the Fed eral Horticultural Board and involves an annual expenditure of upwards of S2,0O0,OO0.

EARTHQUAKE STARTS OIL
 IN WELL THAT HAD QUIT

GREAT FALLS, Mont, April 5. - Coincident with the earthquake felt ir this section of Montana recently, an oil well near here resumed flowing and oil men are wondering whether earthquake might not be a good sub stitute for nitroglycerine in tickling oil wells into production.
 The well in question had been flow ing steadily for some time until few months ago, when it slowed down and finally quit producing at all. Follow ing the tremors oil again spurted from the well at an even greater flow than ever before.

BLIND MAN INVENTS
 LAMP THAT RIVALS SUN

STOCKHOLM, April 1.-The prob lem of how to produce artificial day light by electricity has been solv ed in Sweden as the result of series of experiments by Stockholm company familiarly known as Aga" which is headed by the Nobel prize winner, Dr. Gustaf Dalen.
 Under the light of a lamp just per fected by Dr. Dalen, color may be matched accurately as if they were being viewed in the light of the sun In some ways. indeed, this lamp is more satisfactory than daylight, as the latter varies somewhat with mo, teorlogical conditions, and is further, more affected by reflections from col. ored walls or furniture.
 The principle of this new process for obtaining artificial daylight consists essentially in Altering the light from an electrict bulb so as to absorb part of the red and yellow light rays. The ray filter is made of optical glass of the highest quality.
 A curious fact in connection with this new invention is that Dr. Dalen the president of the Aga" company and the inspirer, if not the inventor, of most of the companys products, is himself blind, having lost his sight while completing experiments with one of his inventions, the automatic light buoy, which is known to marin CTS all over the world.

COLLEGE GRID STARS DIM IN
 LEAGUE BALL
Pigskinners Usually Fail Show Class When Get
 Into Majors
MANY GET BIG CHANCE
lime Thorpe Stayed but Curves Fooled
 Him

NEW YORK, April 5.---In line with the customary inability of college foot, ball stars to get by on major league ball fields, it may have been noted that Glenn Killinger is to Summer with Atlanta Crackers, while Hinkey Haines, a more or less illustrious team mate of the great Killy at Penn State, is arousing no salvos of acclaim on the occasion of his third trial with the Yankees.
 The question of why the leading fig ures of football should show compara- lively slight aptitude for the diamond, even when giving it their complete in- terest and attention, can be answered simultaneously with this one: Why is water wet? Briefly, the reason in both cases is identical-there is none.
 Many Try Baseball
 Yet many of them have shown enough in college baseball to be deemed worthy of trial in the ma jors. The most famous illustration IS that of Jim Thorpe, said by many to have been the greatest football play CT of them all. James stuck on for years with the Giants, Braves and Reds because he showed unusual ability i'll all respects, with the exception of a marked ineptitude against curveball pitching. In other words, he was just a minor leaguer when all was said and done.
 Another case is that of Johnny Mo- hardt, a great halfback at Notre Dame, who received brief trial with the Detroit Tigers last Spring. A third is that of Howard Berry, All American back at Pennsylvania, whom McGraw turned loose without seeming regret.
 One Wick, who was Camps All American center at Michigan ill 1921, was supposed to catch on with St. Louis last Spring, but didn't. The Cards now have McCurdy, of Illinois, in their camp, at Mobile. He may or may not do.
 Some Exceptions
 Offhand, of course there may be notable exceptions we have happened to overlook For one thing, Matty was quite backfield man at Bucknell in the late nineties, and Frank FriscE was another, at Fordham, but so far as actual reputation was concerned the latter wasn't known outside New York. In fact, the water followed football rather closely when Frisch was in the game and wasn't aware that Frank was alive.
 Another exception is Eddie Collins who played quarterback at Columbia in 19O5 Eddie, however, was over looked when they passed around the posies. It is also our understanding that Carl Lungren played on one of the Big Ten Conference teams, but that may be fancy rather than fact
 Of recent years we would say that the best com mbination football-basebali men in the colleges were Mac Aldrich and Harry Legore, both of Yale. How, ever, neither was tempted by major league blandishments; hence their real status as baseball players is m, known.
