NEW YORK, April 10. W.H-
Sixteen major league ball clubs par
adc their 1880 contcnders today in
the grand and glorious opening of
the baseball season.
Shortly after the parades, the two
major pcnnant races will be on,
with everyone optimistic.
Whatever could be accomplished
during the training period in sunny
climcs has been done, and from now
on down to the decisive battles of
next September, il will be ease of
survival of tie fittest.
The experts have picked the pen
nant winners of 1929, the Philadcl-
phia Athletics. in the American
League and the Chicago Cubs in the
National, to repeat their triumphs
of last season, but the uncertainty
of the national pastimc provides
plenty Of hopes which bloom each
spring.
In the National League, where
the flag race figures to be quite as
close as usual, the New York Giants,
the Pittsburgh Pirates, the st. Louis
Cardinals and even the crstwhilc
lowly Brooklyn Robins are counted
upon to provide stern opposition for
the champions of 1929
Astridc the American League, the
world champion Philadelphia club
stands like "A Colossus, but the New
York Yankees, the Cleveland In
dians and the Detroit Tigers have
served notice that they refuse to be
written out of the race.
Already the Boston Red Sox, hav-
ing defeated the Washington Sena-
tors in a game which anticipated
the seasons opening at the national
capital yesterday, are out in front
with Il perfect average of 1000 per
cent. But it won't last long. Bos.
ton, once almost the baseball CAPT
tai of the country, is expected to
provide the eighth place teams in
both pennant races.
Approximately 100000 fans will
witness the opening games this af-
tcrnoon.

Some believed Chevalier could

take a decision from Camera but
majority bewailed the fact they
had not seen a clean cut knockout.
Bob Perry of Los Angeles, a sec
ond for Chevalier, threw in the
towel. Referee Toby Irwin immed-
lately raised Cameras hand. There
was some criticism because he did
not confer with Chevalicr's mana
ger, Tim McGrath, before stopping
the contest, because the State Ath-
ietlc Commission provides that only
fighters chief second can toss the
towel. Perry was only assisting in
the care of the negro.
Accuses Second
Chevalier charged that Perry had
put on his face after the second
round some grease containing a
substance" that burned his nose,

in this country.
Camera missed repeatedly and
scored only one knockdown. which
was about 80 seconds before the
fight ended. The negro took nine
counts but was up on one knee for
the last five of them.
The italian man mountain ap-
peared to be surprised at the ability
of Chevalier and often looked to
his corner for instructions. He slip
ped on the wet canvas three times,
tumbling once with a bump that
could be heard throughout the park.

Hog Cholera Outbreaks During
Month OF April

The disease was reported to exist
on twenty two premises during the
month, against nineteen year ago
and an eleven year average of twenty
one for the same period. Seventeen
were classed as backyard outbreaks,
while five were on farms where
hogs are bred and raised, but garb-
age feeding plants were maintained
on four of these farms. All twenty
two of the outbreaks were classed as
primary, or new cases of the disease.
Wicomico county, by the distribu-
ton of infected pigs to ten premises,
stepped into the lead with as many
outbreaks of the disease. Six gar
bage feeding plants in Prince George
county did their stuff and gave that
county second place with a half
dozen outbreaks, while four of these
odoriferous places gave Montgomery
county third place with quartet of
outbreaks. Worcester county was
trailing with two cases of the disease.
Twelve of the outbreaks were ap-
parently due to feeding bones, rinds,
or scraps of infected pork aud gar
bace, table scraps, kitchen swill, etc.

Natural and Other Gas.
(NeW York Times.)

Natural gas from Texas is to cook the dinners and turn the factory wheels of the Middle West and eventually of Chicago contract for gas main of 1,25o miles has been let and within three years communities in Kansas, Missouri Illinois
 Indiana and Kentucky will be enmeshed in pipes that extend from the Panhandle oil fields. Not the fact that natural gas is burned in cities but the record-br breaking length of this projected line at
 tracts attenon. In the last five years natural gas pipe lines varying in length from 100 to 450 miles have been conveying billions of cubic feet from the oil fields to Denver Pueblo, St. Louis Birm ingham Cleveland and San Francisco.
 Fifteen years ago told by conserva- tionists that criminaly wasting our natural gas The charge was justified But the gloomy prophecy that long before 1850 the supply would be exhausted has already been belied. It is hardly conceivable that in 1880 fully $250000,000 is to be invested in lines to distribute steadily dwindling supply of natural gas. No knows how much natural gas still remains within the earth. The two fields that supply San Francisco alone cap- able of producing 4oo0OO00o cubic feet daily for seventy five years
 Since 30 per cent. of all the gas now consumed in the United States from oil fields and from petroleum refineries, it is natural that manu- lecturers of coal gas should consider the future Iof their industry. They not unduly alarmed Edison taught them lesson in economies When the Edison lamps introduced it freely predicted that gas was doomed More gas than ever is manufactured and consumed-but not for illumination. Instead of succumbing to the com petition of the central electric stations, the gas companies improved their manufacturing methods and make gas cheap that it could be sold las household and as industrial fuel.
 Because of the inroads of natural gas, engineers foresee more rational utilization of coal The gas manufacturing company will erect it's gen.
 orators at the mine, pipe gas for hundreds of miles and thus compete with natural gas Natural and manufactured gas at not much than half the prevailing prices may well be possibility.
 Moreover, the future gas plant will compete with the oil refineries By applying the principles of
 Bergius already accepted in Germany, gasoline will be synthesized from coal as well as other motor fuels and half a dozen alcohos The burning of coal is destined to become a quaint anachronsm. Smoke and soot, responsible for deposit high las 460 tons annually on square mile in Chicago, will disappear with effect the public health that can be imagined, not to mention saving in property losses estimated at $50O0O0000 year for the country whole All these consummations were devoutly wished and preached by chemists and gas engineers a generation ago. Apparently, it remains for the competition of natural gas piped over half the continent to convert technical dreams into realities.

BARRED QUILLs PROTECT PORCUPINE.

mouthful of porcupine quills is anything but a savory dish for any enemy of this self confident animal.
 Misguided and overzeaous attackers, such as coyotes often lose their appetites and even starve after collecting of the tenacious and finely barbed quills in their mouths, or in their tongues cheeks. Frequently at water holes in forests range cattle will sniff at a porcupine and in return receive nosefu of quills from a flip of the heavily barbed tail The sharp quills imbed themselves more deeply with each attempt to re- them causing intense suffering and some times death
 Thus protected the porcupine usually goes it's way unhindered, and in it's quest for food it may destroy young fruit and forest trees vegetable crops or wallow down alfalfa. According to Leaf let COL, Porcupine Control in the Western States by Ira N Gabrielson and E. E. Horn of the Bio- logical Survey issued recently by the United States Department of Agriculture, the porcupine in many areas has branded itself as pest that must be

THE NEW JERSEY PRIMARY KILLS
 PROHIBITION.

The Republican primary results in New Jersey make it plain that Prohibition is in the discard All that remains is decision to what will take its place. Ambassador Morrow, on a platform demanding the repeal of the Eighteenth Amend ment nominated for Senator by an over whelming majority notwithstanding that there were two wet candidates. The other wet however, former Senator Frelinghuysen, favored a modification of the Volstead Act. The dry candidate was man of great ability and distinction Franklin w. Fort had been Secretary of the Republican National Committee and for many years a member of Con- gress. Both Frelinghuysen and Fort were masters of the political game in New Jersey Both had been dry leaders through long series of contests in which the Republican Party was first wet and then dry. The party had the State elections when it wet and lost when it dry. Ere linghuysen had astonshed the country by modifying his position Prohibition, declaring against the volstead Act, and thereby sought to lead the vets When Morrow announced his candidacy for Senator he went the whole way against Prohibition He declared for the absolute repeal of the Eighteenth Amendment and for State control
 The Anti-Saloon League and ministerial associa- tions lined up behind Fort. The vets got behind Morrow, the wetter of the two candidates. With about three hundred precincts missing, the vote LOGO for Morrow, the wet; 107000 for Fort, the dry, and 43,Oo0 for Frelinghuysen the modif- catlOnSt. The drySs one, minority.
 These figures, following the Literary Digest poll, cannot fail to have tremendous effect upon the political situation Politicians will desert Prohibit tion like rats fleeing from a sinking ship. New Jersey is pointing the way. It would not be at all surprising if New York Republicans would fall in line, put up a wet candidate for Governor and give Gov. Roosevelt close race, f indeed not defeat. The New Jersey primary election has strengthened the Republican position in the Con- gressional campaign immensely. Not only has New Jersey been saved to the Republican Party with a Senatorship that in the balance, but Massa- chusetts New York, Rhode Island and other States might be saved if they follow the Jersey course.
 It is not likely that either political party will much longer stagger on under the burden of Pro- hibition. They will throw off the leadership of Ant-Saloon League and other blocs that would reform the world through passing laws. They will return in larger to State rights
 President Hoover might just well discharge his Wickersham Law Enforcement Commission No longer will it be possible to suggest way to en- force Prohibition. The people will not stand for it that they know unquestonably that Prohibitionsts are in constantly weakening min orty and have moral right to speak for the people of the United States.
 Prohibition is dead door nail. Only the obsequies remain for determination.

She is, of course, open to the charge of reckessness; but it looks foolish in face of her success. That she had not overlooked the risks is evident from her description of the joy with which she made out Melville Island, T threw overheard" she said my pneumatic pillow which carried in case I crashed into the sea.

 Porcupines in the Northwest winter in the cliffs and lava rims of the mountains In the Southwest they go to the lower forests for the winter.
