Farmers Interested in
New York Auto Show

Farmers throughout the land are
more Interested in the 1925 Automo-
bile show than ever before, accord
ing to e. II. Richardson of the Doug
las Auto Supply company, in this
city Richardson declared today that
the feature of this years show is
the beauty and variety of Duco colors
seen on the new cars exhibited by
the Chevrolet Motor company.
Che agricultural interest in these
colors comes from the fact that two
of the largest crops grown in the
United States are combined by the
chemists in the manufacture OF Duco.
Cotton, in the form of linters is
mixed with nitric acid to form nitro
cellulose while corn, after being dis
titled into butyl alcohol, is used as
a solvent The result is that today
thousands of bales of cotton linters
and millions of bushels of corn are
being consumed by the Du Pont COM
pany in the production of Duco,
which is unlike paint, varnlsh ana
enamel in that it contains no OILS.
Thus, as new by-product of agrl-
culture, it has opened new markets
for the farmer
In Mark Twain's days on the mis-
sissippi no one had an automoplle
and no one dreamed that cotton ana
corn would some day be used as a
finish for automobiles and still TINS
year this chemical achievement IS
arousing more interest among the
farmers than any other feature of
the auto show.
The exhibit of the Chevrolet COM
pany contained many new ana peau-
tiful Duco color combinations which
can also be seen at the local Slio"
room of the Douglas Auto supply
| company.

100 CHANGES in
BASEBALL RULES
FOR This YEAR
: (By Dispatch A. p. wire)

! NEW YORK, Jan. 30-Revision and
Qualification of playing rules was
finished here today after the joint
rules committee of the major and
minor baseball leagues had written
almost 100 changes into the code.
Most of the amendments necessitat-
ed only slight notifications to meet
possible contingencies, the outstand-
ing change making sacrifice flies ef-
fective in all cases where runners
are advanced base. Hitherto a sac
rifice has been allowed on a fly ball
hit when runner scored after the
catch.
New pitching regulations to per-
NIT the use of resin, approved by
ten into the rules To-Day requiring
that under the supervision and con-
troll of the umpire, the pitcher may
use, to dry his hands, SMALL finely
meshed bag containing powdered res
in, furnished by the league
No application of the resin to the
ball will be permitted, the committee
announced. Balls hit into grand
stands, to count as home runs in the
future, must travel $50 feet an in
crease of Is feet over the former
limit. Major league parks will not
be affected hJ the change.
Coaching hcXes at first and third
bases were reduced to IS foot rect
angles, the rest period between dou-
BILE headers was increased from ten
to fifteen minutes. Winning home
runs in the last half of the ninth
arc to be scored as four base hits,
only if the batsman completes the
circuit. 1t was explained by the com
mittee that in some games last year,
Wheer mere singles were required to
win, batters who had driven the ball
into the stands touched only first
base and .hcn ran to the club house.
The committee hit at violation of
the intentional pass rule from an un-
usual angle, taking steps to prevent
the issuing of bases on balls thr r0Igll
throwing the ball to a baseman, rath-
er than to the catcher.
The amended rule now reads that
with the batsman in his proper posi-
tion, "the ball shall not be thrown
by the pitcher to any player other
than the catcher-except in an at
tempt to retire a base runner"
If repeated after warnings by the
umpire, the rule adds, the pitcher
shall be removed from the game.
Another change provides that no
substitutions shall be made while the
ball is in play, complaint having been
made by minor league club that a
player substituted for a catcher just
as the ball was thrown to the plate
by the pitcher made a foul fly catch
near the dugout. Delay of an hour
and half in game last year re-
suited in a rule amendment deleting
the clause giving the umpire permis-
sion to prolong contests after a 80.
minute intermission- on account of
rain. The rule now reads that at
the end of a half hour, the umpire
! shall have authority to end the
game
Hurlers who make wild pitches on
third strikes will no longer be cred
tied with strikeouts. Furthermore.
under change made today, they
will be credited with errors on such
misplays, where the batter reaches
| first base.

COUNTRY CLUBS
PLAY WILL DRAW
LARGE AUDIENCE

With less than week remaining
before the play "Her Husbands
wife" is to be presented at the
Episcopaa Parish house by members
of the Douglas Country club, re-
hearsals are being held nightly.
The play, which spari1les from
start to finish with wit and .sa-
tire, was very successful during
8, long run in New York some years
ago, when Henry Miller STARTED in
the part of John Belden. Although
not a recent play, it is still so
popular that royalty is required for
every performance, and it is released
to amateurs only in cities that have
no stock companies.
Locally, r. E. Souers will appear
in the part originally Greater by
Henry Miller and Mrs. w. B. Allen,
as; his niece, Irene Randolph an
absurdly lovable little idiot about
whom the amusing plot revolves.
The second feminine lead, Emily
Ladew'' will be played by Mrs N.
o. Rucker, and Nora the maid, by
Miss Naomi Throckmorton. Both J,
Hs Fairbanks as Stuart Randolph"
and Arthur Bridgeman as Richard
Belden," have excellent parts, and
all signs point toward a most sue
cessful production.
The cast is being coached by Mrs.
Carl Cole, assisted by Miss Wini-
fred Paul and J. H. Fairbanks. The

DUTCH LEONARD
TO QUIT GAME
(By Dispatch 4. P. Wire)

SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. .SO.-Hubert
Dutch Leonard, former star pitcher
for the Detroit Tigers, and consider
ed one of the great moundmen Of
major league history, apparently has
decided to abandon the game for all
timeS Accordingly, the Mission Bears,
San F'rnacisco's new coast league
baseball team, probably have lost an
ace.
Leonard has asked to be placed up
on the voluntary retired list of the
Vernon baseball club. The Vernon
outfit is now known as the San Fran
cisco Mission Bears but Leonards re-
tirement from the first named club
: is necessary as matter of record.
His contract was assigned to Vernon

CAUTIOUS PROPOSAL

What is believed to be the most
cautious marriage proposition record
was made by Lorenzo Dow, rowing
preacher of the early days. Restless
and eager, he constantly travelled, and
was loath to assume any obligation
that would hold him to one spot. His
proposal of marriage, made in the
form of letter, ran as follows: "If
am preserved, about year and a half
from now am in hopes of seeing this
northern country again; and If during
this time you live and remain single,
and find no one that you like better
than you dome, and would be willing
to give me up IL months out of thir-
teen, or three years out of four, to
travel, and that in foreign lands and
never say, DO not go to your appoint
ment, etc.'--fors if you should stand
in the way | should pray God to re-
move you, which I believe He would
answer-and if / find no one that |
like better than | do you, perhaps
something further may be said on the
subject"

REMARKS OF THE GANG


victed of petty thievery, who in after
years became an upright and honest
man, always would find that record
of his Inisolemeanor when child was
kept against him.
Publication of crime news, where
adults are concerned is of value in
keeping down crime, for adults do
realize what their actions mean.
Children perhaps do not. The home,
the press, the school and the church
are interested in youth. Any Of them
is likely to err The court is another
great factor in the life Of civilization.
The courts, too, are interested in
youth. The newspaper often is the
most attacked because each day car
rying the news Of the world, the pa
per goes into homes everywhere.
Naturally, there is divergence of
opinion in such vast number of homes
and criticism follows. Yet newspa-
pers aim to upbuild, not to tear down.
Who would want to live i'm a city, a
state or a nation without the news
paper? The action of the publishers
of Arizona in voting against publica-
tion of names Of minors, except in
cases where use of names is impera-
tive, bat follows out rule that long
has been in effect in most newspa-
pers in this state.

BIG HEARTED AMERICA

Nowhere in the world are the
hearts of people as big as they are in
America. That is a broad state ment,
taking in considerable territory, but
time and again has it been proven,
and we believe that the inhabitants
Of other sections of the globe will
readily admit that it is not one bit
exaggerated.
There is a devastating earthquake
in Japan In less than "a hours thou
sands of dollars have been collected in
America and are on their way to the
stricken area in the form of food,
clothing and medicine. A hurricane
levels all before it in India-the Red
Cross, agent of the American people,
is on the job in an instant; the an
nual flood mandates portions of
China drowning or making homeless
a million or two people; American
gold is to the rescue without call
for assistance. Everywhere the gold
en- eagle of United States flies to the
succor of the unfortunates-over
oceans, desert and mountains. One
cry for help and the American people
respond.
Today we have an opportunity to
give assistance closer home And did
the American people forget? The
answer is that $4,000 was raised in
Salt Lake City alone for the hapless
victims of the great snow slide at
Bingham. No call for assistance was
sent out, but those who live within
the area of the greatest disaster of
its kind on record know that help is
needed and without solicitation have
raised small fortune to help bury
the dead, care for the injured and re
habilitate the camp that was RACED
before the onslaught Of the tons upon
tons of snow. If there had been a ma
tional appeal the sum would have
reached into the millions within less
than "a hours. American people are
that way. They may be always after
the almighty dollar, but only few
of them seek it merely for the pleas
ure of boarding it away. Foreigners
censure us for our national greediness
for money, but we might remind them
that the worlds wealth could not be
in safer or more generous hands.
More than once it has saved the Old
World, as witness the great indebted
ness of Europe to this country as a
result of the great conflict
