Babe Ruth, mightiest figure in

every challenge in his fighting
career in baseball, admitted in these
words today that the blow of his
wife's tragic death has crushed and
defeated him in mind and body.
''I'm in a hell of a fix, boys"
said the big Bambino' to report
ers, his voice choking and tears
yelling in his eyes.
The "Babe" of old, with colored
shirt and gayly.hued suits, was q
far different 'tBabe" that Boston
saw today. He seemed older. The
grief that racked his heart already
told in his face.

hold the 'thome run bats" saying:
"All want to say is that it was

into tears.

YOUNG HOOVER
GOT JOB ON
MERIT

LOS ANGELES. Calf, Jan. Is Il.
N. s).--Herbert Hoover, jr., 25.year-
old son of the President-eIect, was Sc
lected for the post Of radio technician
for the Western Air Expresse out of
q score of applicants and because Of
his demonstrated fitness for the
work.
This was the declaration made
here today by Harris NJ. Hanshue.
president and general manager OF
the company. in an exclusive inter.
view with the International News
Service.
Picked for Ability
The young son OF the President
elect is expected to come to Los
Angeles about February to as.
sumo his duties. Hansue said.
He will have charge of all OF
the ccmpany's experimental work
in connection with the perfection
OF radio telephony between airships
in flight and land stations.
I'm our search for q man with
technical ability as well as an agile
mind capable Of grasping and SOW
ing the problems OF radio communi.
cation between airship and ground.
Hanshue declared. ut was felt
that Mr.. Hoover had the best quail
fication. He has long been q keen
student Of radio and il thoroughly
skilled in the profession which he
has chosen to make his life work. :
Has Studied Long
Young Hoover's knowledge OF the
radio is grounded on nearly a
decade Of study and experiments
ton, Hanshue pointed out. In the
summer Of 1921, the young tech
nician devoted his time to perfect
ing short-wave Communication with
Eurnrean amateurs.
In this field, meagerly understood
at the time, he achieved q large
measure of distinction. In the
amateur radio log book. he Is listed
8s operator of station 6xH at Palo
Alto, Calf, the Hoover home.
Although going into detail re-
garding young Hoover's qualifica-
tions and prospective duties. Han.
shue declined to reveal the salary
to be paid the President.elect's son.
The particular work which will
be assigned to Hoover will afford
him a wide area for individual
accomplishment in one of the most
fascinating departments Of modern
scientific research.

versity Farm, st. Paul, last year by
the department of agriculture, Uni
versity of Minnesota, to farmers,
farmers wives and others who specif-

several hundred written requests
were received every day in the year,
each for one or more bulletins. The
total number requested was 271,910.
By far the greater proportion of re-
quests were for bulletins of a popular
nature, such as are issued by the ex-
tension service. The remainder repre-
sented experiment station bulletins,
many of which are technical in char
acter. In actual figures, 216,534 ex-
tension bulletins and 55,376 expert

 In the case of new submarine building. Rear Admiral Beuret said. the only limit is on the weight which it is felt can be assigned for installation of protective devices.
 However" he said. weight 70 assigned must be taken from some other element of the design or the size of the submarine must bs in- creased, either of which adversely af fleets military efficiency"
 Rear Admiral Beuret revealed that while several thousand sugges- tion9 for safety devices flooded into navy offices here after the sinking of the S-4 none contained anything that was not geenrally known. The suggestions. he said. are for devices of five general types:
 Devices for identifying . sub marine and indicating its course when operating on the surface. de- vices for marking the position of the submarine when submerged. for supplying air. food. and the like to the personnel: devices to facilitate the escape of the personnel and de- vices for recovery of the craft itself.

SUBMARINES SAFE

 Fear Special Hazards

Washington. March IS R1Mis-
 haps that befall submarines now are virtually of the same character as those that occur to surface ves- sells. Rear Adm. J. D. Beuret, chief
 of the bureau of construction and
 repair of the navy. told a house ap- propriation committee that progress sive changes have done away with the possibility of submarine disasters
 due to the peculiar contraction of
 the vessels themselves.
 Tn the early history of the sub
 marine" he said, ''the accidents that
 occurred were due mainly to faulty | operation by the personnel or to de- fects in the apparatus installed on | board.
 Better trained personnel and im-
 proved submarine design have prac- tlcally eliminated accidents of this character and at the present time,
 accidents that do occur are. with few exceptions, of the same charac- | ter as the accidents that occur to 1 surface vessels"
 Submarines, he pointed out, due to
 their heavy construction, are con- ! paratively safe against stress of
 weather and damage due to ground | ing. Collision, however. is likely to result more seriously due to the fac, 1 that the reserve of buoyancy when l
 and when operating submerged is
 about zero. Consequently, relatively

BABYLONIAN MODELS

Tirana, Albania, March 15 R- Chaldean headdresses are likely to serve as model for Miss 1929's hats if the enterprising scheme of one West End shop proves popu- lar.
 An exclusive Conduit street mill liner recently displayed the head dress of Queen Shubad who ruled in Ur of the Chaldees before days of Abraham. The headdress is copy of one of the finds of the combined British Museum and University Of Pennsylvania expedition to ur.
 The display has raised the ques- ton of the desirability of regularly displaying the treasures of the Mu- scum so that those who never find time to see them in their show cases will have an opportunity tc become acquainted in their daily round of business. It is suggested that if the authorities consider il unwise to loan the original to re. sponsible shopkeepers, careful copies such as the one of Queen Shubad'. headdress would prove a drawing card to customers.
