GOOD ROOKIE CROP
 IN TEXAS LEAGUE

DALLAS, May 21.-The five-man rookie, or class rule, appears to have slowed up the calibre of base ball played in the Texas league as compared to 1927 and 1928, but it also has caused the rookie crop to appear more promising than in many seasons.
 harmon Cox, slugging Fort Worth outfielder on whom the Detroit Tigers are said to have strings, seems to be the outstanding pew player of the season. At the close of the third weeks play Cox was hitting at a 458 clip and leading the league by almost 40 points.
 If Cox belongs to the Tigers, one of Manager Bucky Harris outfield worries may be solved next season.

TRY PRAYER TO CURB
 RIVIERA AUTO CRASHES


 NICE, France, May .21.- Since more stringent road rules and heavier fines have failed to reduce the number of automobile accidents on the Riviera the region has decided to see what prayer will do.

Following the cere- mony the Bishop of the dis trict leads the procession of motor cars to the towns central square where he formally blesses them.

600 inhabitants seems to q great ex-
tent European. 1t is becoming mod
erinized in the American sense per-
haps more rapidly than any other
South American city.
American investment. however, has
been poured into the copper fields
Of Chile rather than into Santiago It
self. And Santiago remains Chilean
city, for the Chileans are race unto
themselves, without any large popula-
ton Of mixed blood, and their capt.
tai Is no melting pot.
Landing by air In Santiago Is much
like landing at lie Bourget in France.
Driving into the city through q rich
valley set between high brown noun
tains and speckled with pure white
dwellings. 1t is easy to imagine one
self again in southern California.
There's an aroma of Mexico City
entering the city itself, but there are
many buildings of the French type,
Is are the little tea shops and drug
stores, and q boulevard to cross which
reminds everyone Of the Prado In Ha-
vara.
The business side of Santiago has
rather an American tinge because Of
the extensive advertising Of American
products. although II 1t were not for
our automobile machinery and oil,
Chile'S imports from Europe would be
considerably greater than from the
United States.
But the visitor looking for Ameri-
can impressions from Santiago can

WATER SYSTEMS
Cities and Town. Built Around Sup.
 plies of Pure Water

Practically every city and town in the United States is the result of someone's need of water" according electric water systems.
 Most of the communities in this country are the outgrowths of pio- neer settlements" says the local D. l. dealer. This is true in the case of New York, of San Francisco, and of the most of the other great and smaller cities and towns.
 When the hardy pioneers selected the sites fer their early settlements, they looked first for a pur water sup ply. Then they considered the shell ter nature aff orded the spot, the avail able supply of wild game and berries, and the nearness of a fuel supply. When all these things were found in one locality, a settlement was started there, but no settlement would be made if there was no convenient water supply"
 It is interesting, the local dealer says, to compare conditions in the days of the pioneer settlements with conditions now prevailing at the very same spot, where cities and towns now stand.
 "Of all the things that caused the pioneer to start these communities, only running water remains as tangi- ble evidence of their reasons for set ting where they did. Natural shelter, wood supply, and wild game no long CT have a place in the economic life of these communities. But the water supply still remains, even though the needs of the community may have outgrown the original supply and new sources of water have been found.
 "The farm or suburban home can not always be located near supply of fresh running water ,as were the picneer settlements. So it must de- pend on a water supply that the own CT provides himself. Yet modern in- genuity and manufacturing skill have brought forth the means of providing pure. fresh water under pressure that is far superior to the natural water supplies found by the pioneers. With either a deep or shallow well, the modern home can have its own run ming water in every room of the house, if desired, available at the sim- pie turn of faucet.
 "In these modern days of electric water systems, the home can be sit uated anywhere and still have a water supply far superior to that which the early settlers sought so laboriously when they started out to build their homes"
 D-L water systems sold by the local dealer, are made by the Delco-Light Company, a subsidiary of General Motors ,and are backed by the re- sources and engineering skill of that great organization.

Eskimo Musicians Not
 Enthusiastic About Jazz

The Eskimo must be the great musicIover. II is said of him that he will sit on bis native ice for hours listening to the graphophone. Ills own music he makes on an instru. ment which consists of skin tightly stretched over the frame Of hoop half drum and half tambourine. Eight players of eight of these Instruments make an Eskimo orchestra. With each man striking the one note Of his in. strument with rod. the eight notes of the octave are produced. Also, the musician sings as he plays. Needless to say. tine people nourished on this music are amazed by the more civ. ilized music. and it is said Of them that they greatly appreciate grapho- phone records of singers. Strangely enough. too. they prefer most other music 10 jazz.
