BRIGHT
 FUTURE FOR GAME
President Ernest Barnard Thinks
 Baseball Will See Boom

Chicago, April 10 CPJ - Major league baseball, slightly groggy since the World war depleted its ranks and interrupted it's annual supply of young talent, has recov- cred from it's shock and will boom louder than ever during the next five years, President Ernest Barnard of the American league predicted today
 "Ill frankly admit that the class Of major league baseball since the World war hasn't been equal to that as displayed in the years between 1905 and 1916" President Barnard said, but We have caught up now and despite the attractions on the golf links and football fields, sport lovers again will realize that base ball is the great national game. So disastrous was the war and it's after effects that major or minor league clubs had difficulty obtain ing high class players at any price. The war took young mems minds off the game and those with natural talent forgot about our great game l and we lost at least 100 finished players. But that's all past now. We are getting faster and better players; the game has been speed cd up to it's former class and we arc destined to have tighter pcnnant races from now on. Baseball will come into it's own once more" President Barnard is optimistic over the prospects of q tight flag race in the American league this year and expects the loop to draw over 5,000,000 spectators for the first time since 1925.
 While Philadelphia looks to be | the strongest in the league this year, don't think that Connie Macs boys are going 10 have q walk-away," he 1 prophesied. "Thc Athletics won last | year because all their pitchers went good. But will they all go so good this year? The Yankees look to be a vastly improved team and should extend the Athletics to inc limit
 They have improved their club inn 1 mcnsely with Chapman at third
 base and they have two young
 pitchers who may hand the Amcr-
 can league q big surprise this year.
 "Clevcland too, looks good. The
 Indians finished like champions after q bad start in 1929 The odds are they won't have such d poor start and that they will play a more certain, smoother brand of baseball this season.
 1 'Thc White SoN and Detroit i Tigers have improved themselves 1 more than any other clubs in the 1 league and that means they will
 help shave off some games from the i big lead everyone thinks the Ath- letlcS arc going to get on the rest
 of them. St Louis should be bet 1 ter, too, l don't know much about
 Washington and Boston, but they
 should do better than ;4 year ago. q There have been no changes in l the playing rules since 1926 in the 1 junior circuit and will be none ir 1880, President Barnard said, but q
 meeting undoubtedly will be called
 for the spring of 1881 to consider more alterations.

Business Advice
As Good as Ever.

Alfred p Sloan Jr president of General Motors tells his
stockholders:
General Motors has not reduced either salaries Or
uOases, and It Is my hope that no TeddJustHent OF
that character DM be necessary.
"To my mind il is important fov industry to ap;
preciGte the fact that the prosperity o. the OnHed
Sfofes Is founded on a high wdge scale. To reduce
the uOage scale my judgment not only tOOud delay
the return Of more normal times but Svortd PUT

perity Of the country
"T;he broader the margin that exists betUeen the

"This Development Of purchasing pODsr crsaees

In those five sentences Mr.. Sloan gives American Ou

Urges Protection of Dogs

Editor, Washington Times:
Winter is now upon US. and
/ wonder how many people who
have started their furances real
ize that their dogs and cats
suffer from the cold as well as
humans.
If you have dog, not a
house dog, see that the roof of
its house does not leak, and
that it is dry and warm inside.
The dog can not complain, but
he is your best friend and de-
serves the best Of treatment.
People are thoughtless and
will often put their pets out at
night, no matter how cold and
wet it is. This is most unfair.
After being in warm house all
day to be put out at night.
II they must be put out at
least have the kindness of
heart to see that they have a
warm shelter. Often at night I
have seen dogs covering in
rain-lashed porches, trying to
keep dry. This is certainly In.

person who does not take care
of his animals has no business
owning them.

Perplexed Motorist Is
Baffled by Signals

EpttOf Times:
A rnotorist who is doubtful re-
garding the wisdom of adopting
and enforcing uniform traffic
code needs only to attempt the
operation Of his machine in
washington to become an ardent
supporter of such a plan.
To the native and iongterm
residents doubtless the maze of
streets, circles and ovalS, rotary
turns and other local peculiari-
ties are the natural order Of
things.
To a stranger in the National
Capital, though. the operation
of an automobile is distinctly
not a pleasure. Neither is it a
desirable way to see the city.
The only sights that such one
can see are other machines
bearing down upon him from
all directions. It is a task to
follow a street. #
To Be Expected
That phase of driving, how
ever, is to be expected. It is
a matter of getting the layout
fixed In mind and is not much
more complicated than is en-
countered in other large cities
of the country. One soon learns
to make left turns by the ro-

right and one Of the local
ground rules.

trum itself, but also records
heat far beyond the ends OF
the spectrum visible to the
naked eye.
This instrument and also an
other, similar one. the radiom-
eter, have been brought to q
great degree Of refinement. An
especially sensitive instrument
was employed by Nichols and
Hull in their experiments. This
instrument was capable Of evalu-
ating an amount Of energy
equivalent to that which would
be received from q candle 20
miles distant. The bolometer
measures the total energy Of the
solar radiation. and not merely
that associated with the viSibie
rays.
Most remarkable Of all the frl-
StrumentS is the SpectroSco cope.
It has succeeded, for example,
in telling us that there are TO be
found, on the sun, 66 Of the
elements already found upon
the earth.
The spectroscope likewise
gives us much valuable inforna-
ton about the constitution OF
the stars. although the nrpb-
lens connected with them are
much more difficult because of
their great distance. The rays
from the stars have to travel so
far that they reach US IN a
weakened condition.
One class of stars is given
the name of "helium stars" be-
cause the spectrum of helium
is so conspicuous. Another class
of stars is denominated hydro
gen stars" because their outer
atmosphere, and possibly their
deeper structure as well, is
filled with that element. Iron
is found in many stars; and
titanium. an element rare on
the earth. Is rather surpr1s'
ingly frequent in its appear
ance among the stars. ::
Many of the largest and
most brilliant stars, as Williams
points out in "The Great AS
tronomers," are Of excessively
tenuous structure-som OF
them composed of gas of such
extreme rarefaction that it Is
the equivalent of what in the
terrestrial laboratory Is called
"a high vacuum!
