PLATING FIRMS
BUSINESS RISES
AT RAPID RATE
Adams Company Is Work,
ing Night and Day Crews;
Forces Doubled.

Now is the time for motorists to
have the metal trimmings on their
automobiles replated, Albert P.
Kriese, production manager of
Adams Plating Company, 1873 West
Tenth street, declared today.
Plating automobile parts for the
trade and for individual motorists
forms the bulk of the company's
work.
Operations Of the company are at
their peak in its history, Kriese said,
with night and day forces working
to keep up with orders. The force
has been doubled in the last three
months
One of the heaviest contracts of
the company is chrome plating auto
trim work, including bumpers and
tenders, for the Stutz Motor Car
Company. Chrome plating is the
latest development in plating. 1t
consists of applying a chromium
coat over previous coating Of copper
and nickel, giving a hard finish with
blush cast. Most automobile
manufacturers have recognized it's
efficiency.
The company now is equipped to
do nickel, silver, copper and chrom-
lum plating on a large scale.
Equipment added recently in
cludes several polishing lathes of
the latest type and picking watts to
remove the hot roll from raw steel
and iron.

POLAR DISPLAY
STIRS INTEREST
AT HOME SHOW
Ice Palace Is Center of
Attention; Refrigerator
Sale Is Heavy.

A special display of properly con-
structed ice boxes and refrigerators
by the Polar Ice and Fuel Company
at the home complete show this
week attracted much attention.
The display was housed attractive
ly in an ice palace covered with imi-
tation snow. On the front of the
display was the Polar coat of
arms" the word Polar" on a Shield
with nickel-plated ice box, under
which were the words: Say it with
Ice"
During the last three weeks the
Polar company has disposed of a
carload of ice boxes each week and
indications point to an even greater
volume in the next few weeks.
Prices are made on a basis Of car
load prices, plus actual handling
cost.
Air Circulation Shown
A glass enclosed ice box at the
home complete exposition enables
persons to see clearly the circulation
of air in an ice-cooled refrigerator.
A small pinWheel at the bottom is
Kept moving constantly by this flow
Of air. The air, as it circulates over
and around the food, constantly is
purifying air in the ice box, and
taking off food odors.
So far this year the company's
business has been greater than last
year the best year in history of the
company.
People are beginning to under
stand the value Of a good ice box,
which not only saves ice, but better
preserves food" H. L. Dithmer.
president, said. "Polar's refrigera-
tors maintain a dry cold, but not so
dry that it takes all the necessary
moisture from the food"
At the home complete show tickets
emitting the holder to a credit of
Is cents on a 25-cent box of ice
cubes are being given. Attendants
at the booth are attired in the white
duck uniforms worn by all Polar ice
wagon employees, freshly laundered
daily
Many Go to Offices
Many persons who have been UNI
able to get into the booth at the
show because Of the large crowds
have gone to the company's Offices
at 1000 Northwestern avenue, where
there is ample parking space and
where they have an opportunity to
study carefully the various refriger-
ators offered by the company.
Only ice boxes and refrigeratorS
approved by the National Associa-
ton of Ice Industries, which expert
ments with refrigerators at Column

FIVE BILLS TOAD
j. s. PRISON
SYSTEM

The Hoover administrations
plan for q sweeping reorganiza-
ton Of the Federal prison system
was laid before both houses Of
Congress today with pledges Of
prompt consideration. Senator
Norris (R.) Of Nebraska and Rep
resentative Graham tR1 Of Penn
sylvania, cE1airmen Of the Judi
ciary Committees Of Senate and
House, introduced the legislation.
Attorney General Mitchell is ex-
pected to take the lead in the
movement for enactment Of five
separate measures, aided by SAN
ford Bates. who was chosen super
intendent Of prisons to effect q
reorganization.
The program is designed to end
the congestion condemned by a
special House investigating CON-
nlittee; provide employment, re-
vafnp the parole system and
broaden the power OF the Depart
ment Of Justice to effect emer-
gency changes.
Riots Hasten Action
Although the Administration S
reorganization plan has been IN
The making Tor a long time, the
riot Of last summer at Leaven-
worth and riots at State prisnrs
have added to the determination
Of the Justice Department to OBJ
tain changes In the law.
The program includes:
Building OF three new prisons,
0l1a vest Cf the Mississippi River,
two east Of it.
Creation OF q single board of
parole to replace the present
system of board for each insti-
tuition composed Of officers with
other duties.
authorizing employment of
prisoners in building roads and IN
national parks and their loan to
States for public works purposes:
authorizing Of maintenance Of
road prison camps.
Building of new institution for
criminal insane, now housed at
st. Elizabeth's, Washington, d. c..
which is overcrowded.
establishment of temporary
JRils If local or State authorities
refuse temporary iailing of prjs-
o1ers awaiting trial.
Increased funds for probation
Officers, as one means Of ending
The Washington times., 1929-12-13


present congestion in Federal
prisons.
The proposal to permit general
employment of prisoners is re
garded as one Of the most sweep
ing changes. OF 1000 prisoners
in Federal institutions, only 2,000
now have regular employment.
according to Superintendent Bates.
A canvas bag factory is main.
tained at Atlanta, and shoes are
made at Leayenworth.
The employment law is hedged
with restrictions designed to re-
duce competition with free labor
to minimum. The proposed
new law makes it the duty of the
Attorney General to provide en-
ployment for all physically fit
inmates.
Use of prisoners in building
roads is particularly desired in
public parks and through public
lands in the West, it is under
stood. Prisoners also could be
used in building levees on the
Mississippi River and for other
flood control work.
More liberality in the parole
system to reduce congestion is
predicted by prison authorities If
single parole board is created.
Over 5000 cases were heard last
year by the various parole boards,
which include wardenS and prison
physicians. The boards have
been unable to give prompt at
tention to all demands for parole,
1t is asserted.

coaches then change his batting posture
so that he will subsequently hit into
safe territory. If the natural inclina-
ton of the batsman is to hit lofty fly
balls, the coaches instruct him to flex
his knee muscles and thus avoid dip

weak points of that slabman. Occa-
sionally pitcher may develop an unde-
sirable condition known among coaches

condition Is difficult to diagnose by any
other than scientific means.
The average coach will tell you that
there is something wrong with the

trainer has his hands full eliminating
the physical defect.
The reaction time of the base ball
player to emergencies must be as rapid
as that of the experienced automobile
driver If that athlete is to develop into
a star Psychological tests have been
perfected for ascertaining the mental
lag OF athletes. These are all eye mind
hand tests.
The athlete who receives a message
In flash by eye and relays it to his
brain which, in turn, speeds an order
to the hands in answer. is the one who
climbs highest up base balls ladder of
fame.
One device which resembles a tele-
phone switchboard and Is equipped with
10 different tests has been originated
for determining individual reaction
time. The board is operated by an eX-
anliner in an adjoining room. A red
light flashes and the subject as quickly
as possible presses switch In reply.
A bell rings and the athlete pulls a
switch in answer. Two weights fall and
the subject quickly replaces them on the
board. Delicate recording instruments
tabulate the time interval or reaction
each of these operations.
The mental quickneSs and muscular
accuracy of the base ball player are
determined by his ability to insert an
electric contact as rapidly as may 'be
into three sockets in rapid alienation.
The recorder which keeps track of the
results faults the subject If the electric
pointer strikes the sides of the hole in

tralized its athletic research on the

some studies of Babe" Ruth, the sultan
of swat. These experiments which were
performed at Columbia University prove
that Ruth is the king Of long distance
hitterS because of his great size and
strength, perfect timing. muscular and
mental coordination and inherent abil-
ity as Strategist.
Whenever Ruth faces a pitcher. a
battle of wits, courage and experience
begins. The batter seeks to outguess
and outmaneuver the twirler while the
latter strives to fool Ruth. That this
business of vanquishing Ruth is a tough
task is shown by his worlds record
batting average.
Psychologists report that in addition
to being the king of natural sluggers,
Ruth is wise in base ball sense. He
knows when to exercise dash and dar-
ing and when TO use discretion on the
diamond and he does just that.

THE muscular agility of the athlete is
now tested in unique manner
Two powerful electro-magnetS are
mounted on the lower side of a strong
table. An upright handle is installed
on the upper side of the table. The
base ball player is instructed to grasp
this handle and to hold it in fixed po-
sition. The examiner then manipulates
the magnets so that first one and then
the other eXerts force to pull the ham
die from its position. 1t demands un-
usual muscular control and dexterity to
hold the handle without moving under
such circumstances.
Wrestlers who are accustomed to the
rapidly shifting attacks of their adver-
sarieS usually make the best scores in
this test.
The timing factor is important in
all sports. particularly in base ball bat
ting, boxing, rowing. golf, running and
throwing weights. Boxers who become
rusty in ring activity lose that nicely
of timing which previously had car
ried them far along the road to pugilis-
tic renown Base ball players during
the Winter layoff lose some of their
timing skill. The ball players must be
masters of timing not only in the bat
ter's box in regulating the speed of their
swing TO the velocity of the ball, but
also when on the bases.
Psychology has devised remarkable
electrified maze which it now uses sue
cessfully in testing the timing abilities
of athletes. The subject stands before
this maze, holding either one or two
electric pencils, which he seeks to guide
through the metallic "catacombs" with
out mistakes or mishaps. The electric
pencil makes contact at certain points
throughout the maze. The timing skill
of the subject is concentrated on so
plotting the pointer through the wilder
ness that such contacts will be made
uniformly and correctly. This appara-
tus Is practically infallible in Identify
ing those gifted with the natural pow
ers of perfect timing.
A remodeled talking machine has
been rugged up as another efficient
tester which uncoverS athletic secrets.
1t is employed in studying the dexterity
and mental speed of the athlete. 1t is
another of the eye-mind- hand type of
testing machines. The revolving disc
of the talking machine Is so arranged
that 1t can be run at varying speeds.
The surface of this dial is covered ex-
cept for a number of small square holes
The subject attempts to make contact
with each OF these apertures as the disk
