At 8 late hour this morning Joe
had hit upon two ideas. They
were,
/. Harry Child is to be tried out
as first.string relief man. One OF
the others, probably Ad Liska, will
supplant him as batting practtie
pitcher.
3. Lloyd Brown is to take Mar

latter is ready to resume his du-
ties. Also Sam Jones and Alvin
Crowder are to be worked more
frequently.

mentioned, "And / want to see
plenty of him.
"I've ordered him to lay off
pitching to batters for the time

position to cut loose with every
thing he's got when called

The youthful giant, who was
signed as a free agent earlier In
the season, has plenty on the
ball, uses his head and looks best
in the clincheS. Though used
mostly as a batting practice slab
ster heretofore, he has impressed
with his all around promise since
Joining the Griffs.
In view of his recent rescue
performances Judge believes that
Brown is ready to take his turn
as a nine-period moundSman once
more. Says Judge:
1--WE got TO use one Of our ex-.
tra pitchers, and Brownie is
about set to click. I don't like
to work Jones and CrOwder
overtime. But they both think
they can deliver and we need
them"
Jones is to be sent to the fir

81. LOUIS, November 20.-The St.
Louis Zoos red-headed parrot, with q
vocabulary said to resemble that Of q
mule driver, yesterday was sold to
Jasper Bayne. New York City, for $40,
@. p. Vierheller, director Of the zoo,
announced.
Bayne was one Of the 619 persons
nom all parts of this country and Can
ada who asked for the parrot as a gift,
purchase or trade, after publication of
stories relating how the bird had talked
itself out of home in the bird house
Bayne first wired an offer of 500, later
raising it to $140. He gave no reason
for wanting the profane polly.
A number of unique trades were pro-
posed. An Illinoisan offered "a nice
male wolf" while another man wanted
TO exchange "a jawbone of an unknown
animal for the parrot.
A Cleveland woman offered to take
the cursing out of him and then re-
turn him to the Zoo" A Boulder, Colo,
woman ventured higher altitude might
work wonders in reforming him."
Twenty students of North Carolina
College for Women wrote they were
seriously in need of new expressions,
and San Jose, Calf, girl said she
didn't know what a mule drivers vo-
cabulary was like, but could stand
anything for a talking parrot"

OKLAHOMA CITY, April 2. W.H
"A great gusher roared like YOUNG
volcano in the back yard of Oklaho-
ma City today while men made fu-
tile efforts to control spout of gas
and oil unleashed in their race for
riches.
The gusher, now almost a week
old, has driven inhabitants from it's
cnviorns, deluged the section with a
thick coat of petroleum through
which even trucks cannot pull, filled
iavines with gas, and Threatened
lives and property with a fire haz-
ard.
A pebble, driven by the tremend-
Gus flow of gas released into the
sky, might strike the spark which
would envelope the countryside in
flames.
Efforts to stop the flow of the
geyser, which is spewing gas and
oil 200 feet skyward, were aban-
doned last night when company Of
f,cials ordered hundreds of harassed
workers to retire. The men had been
working waist deep in oil since the
seyser went "wild'" six days ago.
Armed guards, posted along the

field and stationed there by Sheriff
! Stanley Rogers, kept all but Off

plane pilots were forbidden from
flying near the area and fires were
quenched. Electric power lines were
protected and in some cases power
was shut off.

would be destroyed should lightning

The big count begins today.
Census bureau agents have start
ed out on the long trail which will
take them, pad and pencil in hand,
to the doorsteps of some 30.000,000

Their task is to gather data for
the 18th American decennial census,
an enumeration which will provide
the first authentic population count

chart of the course commodities
take from raw material to the home.
President Hoover was among the

the White House family's ages, real

ado not hesitate for a minute TO
ask the census taker to show his
credentials if you suspect that he
is not bonafide enumerator,"
Steuart advised. rThere have been
instances of people claiming to be
census takers in order to collect in
formation for private purposes or to
gain admission to homes for pur-
poses of robbery.
Steuart asked the public to meet
the enumerator cOurteously and ans
wer questions promptly; also to
give the best possible estimate for
any questions they cannot answer
exactly, and to fill out promptly
any individual or family blanks
left by the enumerator who' may

FINANCIAL AND
ECONOMIC CRISIS

By MILES w. VAUGHN
United Press Staff Correspondent

TOXIC, April 2. (U.H-Japan's
critical financial and economic sit
uation likely will have a consider
able effect on the special session
of the diet called April 81 by En-
peror Hirohito.
Business has become increasingly
worse since the first of the year
the number of unemployed has in
creased, and gold reserves of the
Bank of Japan are sinking stead
lily. Leaders of the Seiyukai-the
principal opposition party in par
liament-already are planning t,
attack the government rs response
bic for much of the acute depres-
sion.
Impartial observers are agreed
that the governments policies
while unquestionably necessary and
bound to benefit the empire in the
long run-have contributed to the
present near-crisis.
The primary plank in Premier
Yuko Hamaguchi's cabinets plat
form was removal of the embargo
on exports of gold and silver which
had prevailed since the World War,
and to this end the premier and
his colleagues consistently have
urged empire-wide governmental
and popular retrenchment.
The embargo was taken off Jan
uary II after the yen had been
forced up to par on the American
dollar. Depression set in almost at
once.
