 Fielder, Cincinnati Nationals, one of the greatest hitters and outfIeldeFs In the game today.
 The illustration makes this clearer than telling about it. The reason for using the method shown. however. Is that 1t gives so much greater speed and 1t gives more 'footsureness" to the outfielder. Run ming backward after fly ball is a clumsy way of getting about for the ordinary out fielder. although Iris Speaker can do 1t to perfection. At first it will be little difficult to judge balls when run ming back after them shown, but a little practice will overcome this diff culty.

$3.50, 900 FARMERS ARE
RAISING WHEAT IN u. s

More than 2,250,000 farmers are
today raising wheat in the United
States. In three years they pro-
duced a total of $500, OOO,0 900 BUSH
els, which was greater than the
production Of any other country
in the world. This enormous pro-
duction overran domestic require
ments by $4,000, 900 bushels, and
prvided an annual surplus of $780,
100000 bushels for which it was
necessary to find foreign market.
The foregoing figures are taken
from a bulletin issued by the United
States Department of Commerce
showing the magnitude of wheat
growing operations in the co1n-
try.
Approximately $4,000, 900 acres
are annually devoted to wheat rails
ing, the department said. Most of
the wheat going into foreign trade
moves down the. Great Lakes to
Buffalo and other Eastern Lake
points, thence by rail to, New York
and Baltimore. This is explained,
the department said, by the fact
that four-cent rate on the Great
Lakes will often carry a bushel of
wheat twice as far as a twelve
cent rate on land.
Last summer the all-rail rate
from Duluth to New York for ex-
ports was ~ cents per bushel, while
the Lake-and-rail rate was only
about 13 cents per bushel, it was
said.

COSTS
DOUBLED IN
10 YEARS
Cost of Labor and Materials
Now Stand at Same In
creased Level.


NEW YORK, April 14.-Building
costs in the United States, in the
midst of what economists have
agreed is the country's greatest con-
struction boom, have doubled in the
last ten years. according to an an
nouncement just issued by the Me-
tional Industrial Conference Board.
The board summarized the results
of a study 1t has been making into
the national building situation. A
noteworthy development by the
study is that costs of labor and of
materials stand at exactly the same
increased levels, for the first time
since 1920.
Wages High.
While in New York city the build
ing crafts receive high wages, the
study shows that last month they
were the highest in the country in
only ten out of twenty-five trades.
Graphic charts reveal the nation.
wide character of rising costs, net
alone in wages, but in all materials
entering into building. Other cities
reporting uniformly high wages are
Chicago, Cleveland, Pittsburgh, st.
Louis and Houston, Tex.
The boards investigation covered
the leading American cities, and took
in all the crafts and the leading ell
ments in building. material. Wage
figures were based on Government
and other reports annually in May
from 1914 to 1920, and monthly
since August of that year.
Among the separate trades, plas-
salr 10 - y
bulkiest pay envelopes in practically
all cities. Bricklayers get SIPS an
hour in fifty cities, and plasterers
in forty-four cities, while in st.
Louis the rate is $1.75 an hour.
Lathers and masons get $1.50 ali
hour in Houston, Tex, the same
rate being received by roofers and
hosting engineers in New York.
Masons get $1.25 an hour or more
in twenty-eight cities, fathers in
twelve, cities, hosting engineers in
seven cities and roofers in four.
;s Materials Cost More.
Gasfitters and steamfitters in
Houston; plumbers in Houston and
Pittsburgh, ornamental iron workers
in Cleveland, marble settlers in Phila-
delphfa and tile settlers in Shreve-
port, La, all. get $1.37h an hour.
In New York the trades best paid
next to those above cited are car
penters, cement finishers, painters,
pipe coverers, sheet metal workers,
and structural iron workers. These
get $1.51E an hour. Although their
wages are less, steamfitters' helpers
and lanorers get the highest wages
in the country in New York.
The hodcarrier earns up to $1.25
an hour, and the average earned
by ill hodcarriers is more than 80
cents an hour, in the cities sur
Veyed.
The same sustained nigh levels
are also being experienced by plumb
ers, electricians, carpenters and
sheet metal workers.
Prices of building materials until
recently more than kept pace with
the rise in wages, the announcement
reveals. 1t shows that from 1915 to
1920 the prices of materials increased
more than twice as much as wages.
In 1921, however, they fell to APP
proximately the same levels as
wages, and during the past year
the present 100 per cent increase
over 1914 in both was established.
the general trend of building
costs, taken as a whole. is a tend.
ency downward for material, and
rising tendency in wages.

OFFICER SAVES

Alaska Storm.

The presence of mind Of an

a temporary officer saved Airships
No. 3 and 4, of the round-the-world
flight from being dashed to pieces
in the terrific storm at Sitka, Sat.
urday night, according to a-tele.
gram received today by the Chief
Of the Air Service by Major Martin,
leader Of the flight
The man, Sergeant Harding, was
on board ship No. 4, which was
riding 900 feet from the shore and
the breakers when the fury of the
storm struck the air fleet. Starting
the engine he TAXED for the shora
in the dark, taking a chance on the
breakers, rather than lose the ship
at sea. Buffeted about like a leaf
in the storm, Harding managed to
get the craft safely past the
breakers and beached and then re.
turned to rescue ship No. 8, which
a lone guard was unable to, hold in
the wind.
