HARMONIOUS BALL CLUB
IS HOPE OF COLLINS

Collins Is depending upon two
men who heretofore have shown
only flashes OF promise. They are
Ted Blankenship, pitcher, and
JPohnny Mostil, outfielder Both
are Of peculiar disposition which,
many critics have thought, ham,
pered them in their diamond
activities.
IT look for Mosti1." Collins said,
'to show as great Improvement next
season as FaIk did last year. be-
lieve he has it in him and think
he has arrived at the stage where
he will blossom into one Of the best
outfielders in the American League"
The next pilot is not discouraged
over the shOrtstOp position. 1t il
not generally known, but Ike
Davis, who came to the SOx late
in the season, was q third base
man naturally. He played that
position i'm the international
League and in the American As
bench the day he arrived" Collins
explains, "and we were fixing up
some signs when he was an
nOunced as shOrtstOp. He was
very much surprised, saying he
was q third baseman, but would
go out there and do the best he
could"
The Sox next spring will depart
from custom and will not engage
any major league clubs in exhibition
games. Neither will they appear
in Texas. This is done to give
them a full month in the Shreveport
training camp. They will play the
local club of the Texas League
there and may go to New Orleans
for a pair of games. They also
may combat st. Joseph of the West
ern League at Monroe, La, short
distance from Shreveport.
I'VE planned to cut out travel as
much as possible" Secretary Harry
Gardiner explained. Heretofore the
Sox have come North In company
with the Giants, engaging in
fortnight of Uncle Tom stands.
This was thought good plan for
getting a line on the youngsters,
but each manager was anxious to
win and the kids had a fine two
weeks, practicing a couple Of hours
a day and sitting on the bench the
rest of the time. This did them no
particular good.
Connie Mack said something late
last summer that pleased Collins.
The SOx were down in the ruck
when Mack observed: III would
rather have the White SOx than
any club in the league 80 far as
prospects of building up are con-
cerned." This was before Collins
had been made manager and was
not passed out as the bull to him.
The Sox have added a new short.
stop in the person Of Butler late Of
the Wichita club of the Western
League. He is said to be the class
of that circuit and will be given
ample opportunity to show what
he can do.
The youngsters will report at
Shreveport March 2, the veterans
coming later. 1t is likely that Faber
and Schalk will go to Hot Springs,
Ark, for the baths ten days before
active work in the training camp
begins.

CUSTOMS OFFICES ON MEXICAN BORDER TO
 CLOSE AT g O'CLOCK

WASHINGTON, D. C., Mar 19.- The request of California state busi- ness interests that the customs lines at Tiajuana and Calexico, Cal, be kept open until midnight, instead ot g p. m. each night, has been refused by the treasury department.
 The customs lines at the two points were placed under the 9 o'clock restriction about a year ago to prevent illegal traffic across the border and to reduce crime in the southern section of California. Re gently, however, business interests have held that the restrictions great ly hamper them.
 Assistant Secretary Moss, in an- nouncing the refusal of the request, said the restrictions had greatly re- duced crime along the border.

 Upon his arrival here the ex-em- peror was met by the Japanese con- sul and driven to the Japanese owned Yamoto hotel
 Yesterday arrangements were made for the boy emperor to reside in Chang Piao's garden where he will remain for the present, his flu ture plans being uncertain. It is believed he desires to visit America or Europe. The women members of Hsuan's family were brought down from Peking yesterday by the secre- tary of the Japanese legation at that place

EIGHT POINT LIGHTING LAW WHICH
 wlfL i RE ENACTED X lN < THIS STATE
 MAKES NlGHT DRIyfNG MUCH SAFER

SATTLE, March 2O.-One of the really constructive features of the
 motor vehicle code which will be acted on when the legislature is called into session again, is that portion which defies the states headlight requirements, according to Douglas Shelor, manager of the Automobile Club of Washington. This section, ordinarily referred to as the "eight point lighting law" has been widely adopted throughout the United States, but its actual requir- ments still remain considerably of a mystery to the average automobile owner
 Knowing how utterly exasperat- ing our present headlight conditions are, l feel sure that every owner will be interested in a simple state ment as to what the new law pro- vides," says Shelor
 Tn the first place, it requires that every headlight lens, reflector or headlight control device to be sold or used in the state after certain date shall be submitted to a test at the hands of the director of licenses. This test will cost the applicant ten dollars-one fifth the amount asked in California Ade- quate provisions is made for retest of any rejected lens or device, and for appeal from any rejection.
 The test is the important point. It is made by throwing the light from the reflector or through the lens to be tested against screen Twenty-Five feet away. Without go- ing into details as to maximum and minimum candlepower requirements, the test requires that a comparative ly small amount of light be directed straight ahead and one degree of arc above the level of the center of the light; a still smaller amount on the same level four degrees to the left. This latter of course is the light which strikes the eye of the ap- preaching driver
 More than twice as much light is permitted on the same level as the lamp itself,-the light which picks up fairly distant objects but which will not, on the level and from properly loaded car, strike the eye of an approaching driver.
 "One degree below this point there is no maximum candlepower, but high minimum requirement, This insures plenty of light directly on the hoghway up to 15O or 200 feet ahead of a car-which is where the bright light is most needed A half degree lower, a smaller mini mum is allowed.
 Proper diffusion Of light to the sides is provided by the requirement that three degrees below level and six degree to either side there shall be minimum of 2OOO candlepower
 Nobody claims that these require ments are going to eliminate all headlight troubles. Whenever they have been put into effect, however, night driving has been made notice ably safer and more comfortable, as anyone who has driven at night in an eight point state will testify Tn California it has resulted in the elimination of huge number of lenses and lighting devices and the retention of comparatively small number which meet its require ments."
