By Hltcd Press
CHICAGO, March l3.-Some 900
athletes. who comprise the greatest
field ever to compete in the meet,
Friday will begin the Illinois relay
carnival, the annual indoor event
which provides the first opportunity
to compare the different teams

some of the champions of last year
dethroned.
George Simpson, Ohio States
speedy dash man, to retain his title,
must defeat such men as Eddie
Tclan, the flashy little Michigan
Negro. and Hubert Meier of Iowa
State.
James Rockaway, teammate OF
Simpson, to successfully defend his
high hurdles crown provided his
school declares him eligible before
the meeD must defeat Lee Sent
man, the Illinois hurdler. who set
an unofficial worlds indoor record
of SO seconds for the seventy-fye
yards in the Big Ten meet last
week
One champion who seems likely to
repeat is Orval Martin, Purdues
great middle distance man.
The all-round championship
should go again to Barney Ber-
linger, the great Pennsylvania star
and Olympic team man, who won
last year with record breaking
total of 6,070 points out of a pos
sible 1000. Everett Utterback Of
Pittsburgh may be close to him.
Todd of Indiana. and McDermott
and Harper of Illinois should win

CLEARWATER, Fla. March Is.
THE most conspicuous person in

manager Of the club which finished

no difficult feat for Robinson TO at
tain a degree Of conspicuity because
ne Is the largest manipulation Of
ivory in baseball. Indeed, 1 seem
to recall having read somewhere in
the higher literature of the sport
that he is the dinosaur of the dug

On T-ry hot FLORIDA days, Robinson Is
a disuf & boon 70 the community and
mothers bring their young out sf doors

in the soothing shadows cast by the eK-
pansive outlines Of the gentleman's super
structure.
the spectacle OF hordes OF children
scampering around this vast shaded era
is very moving and quite fascinating 20
behold. and II IS characteristic Of the
generosity of Robinson and his deep in
terest in the woes of humanity that each
succeeding spring sees him becoming
beefier and bulkier.

Long suffering from heart trouble, from which there appeared to be no relief, George Palmer, oldtimer of the Cook Inletacountry, committed suicide some weeks ago at Knik, where he was engaged in business, by shooting himself through the heart with a-32scaliber. automatic pistol. A note which. Left in the store ex- plained that he could not stand the pain any longer. Truman Parish, who was associated with Palmer in the mercantile business, found his part ner's death notes.in the store and rushed ito the oldtimer's apartment, where he found him suffering greatly. He asked Palmer to permit him to send to Anchorage for an airplane to take him to the hospital, and after considerable argument Palmer con- sented, but insisted on waiting day before taking any action. Thinking he had talked Palmer out of the mo- tion of killing himself. Parish re- turned to the store, and few min- utes. later heard the fatal pistol shot. Returning. to the apartment, he found his partner dead.

Farm Sales on Gain.

THE roadside market Of the farmer has

cash crop plans Of the smaller farmer
The old idea that farmer need do little else
than put up some sort Of shelter and place his
goods on display has given away to the pro-
gressive market which not only has farm
products for sale for any autoist on the hunt
for them but goes further and makes the
display so attractive that the passerby though
not intending to purchase is lured into buying.
The Department of Agriculture has been
conducting investigation of these roadside
markets and has found that in a large number
Of cases where the farmer has combined some
merchandising sense along with attractive dis
plays of fruit and vegetables the sales have
increased 10 and IS per cent from season to
season.

too far back from the well travelled roads to
hope to do much business they have grouped
