MORE WOMEN IN
 PUBLIC ACTIVITIES
Connecticut Shows Increase Of
 134 to, 652 in Four Years

Washington, April 15 P-Almost unnoticed, women are slipping into local elective and appointive posts. from justice of the peace to alder man, at a rapid rate.
 That discovery was made by the League of Women Voters in survey of four states, sampled as typifying the situation throughout the country.
 An increase of more than 100 per cent in five years was noted in Con- necticut, Michigan and Wisconsin. while Minnesota showed a decided gain.
 Connecticut, with record of 20 women members in it's state legisla- ture, jumped from 134 to 652 wom- en office holders between 1925 and 1929.
 426 More in Michigan
 Michigan showed an increase from 367 women office holders in 1927 to 793 in 1929. Its women justices of the peace numbered 2S, jump from in a 2-year period.
 Wisconsin had 62 women office holders in 1926, and I'll in 1929. Minnesota's increase was from 227 to 34S, all in elective offices, the number of women appointed to of flee remaining practically stationary.
 The studies are sufficient to in- dicate an influx of women into pub lie office, which is none the less rev. olutionary because so little observ- ed," the league of women voters con cluded. 'It may be compared to the influx of women into the minor ranks of the business world decade or so before"

Great Resources Lie Untouched
 in Great Arctic Peninsula

Washington, D. C., April 15- 5 Quick frozen fish for world markets, newly discovered waterpower sites, ! the most unsophisticated salmon ! and trout in the world: these arc :. factors which along with radio and ! airplanes are tying Labrador to civilization, according to Sir Wiltred Grenfell. famous medical worker. Dr, Grenfell told the National ! Geographic society, when he was in : Washington recently, that Labrador will soon follow Alaska on the road s,io. progressive development of her
 resources.
 -a= Fish that Labrador could use only
 as fertilizer may soon become fav- < orites of the American table by Vir- 1 tue of improvements in refrigcra- ! tion.
 2 Frozen Fish Still Lived |. Labrador fathered the new quick : freezing process which makes 1t ,. possible to ship fresh fish thousands 5 of miles, he pointed out. It was < noticed while fishing through the , Labrador ice on very cold day |. that the fish, which froze instantly 2 upon being taken from the water, n began to flop about when taken s into a warm room.
 ,a Experiments revealed that by ,, quick freezing the flesh of fish could ' be kept much more firm and strong z than by the older slow freezing < method.
 z Although Labrador was the first 2 land ot North America to be discov- i cred by Europeans it is the last to ' be explored Recently college boys : from the United States discovered !. one of the finest watcr-poWcr sites .-s.on the continent, remarkable falls
 over which tremendous volumes ol
 water rush to the sea. Grand Falls T.ln, central Labrador, twice as high :. as Niagara. has a million horse ' power waiting to be harnessed. Vast < inland forests of virgin pine await < the inevitable demand of civliza- !. tion for their timber.
 No "Moyies," Only One Auto z, Labrador has as yet no movies 2 It lacks other appurtenances oi X civilization. It has no roads but has \ one automobile; the car brought in . recently by Donald B. MacMillan = Arctic explorer, who is building himself home in northern Labra- -- dor.
 . With nothing to speed on and Z. nothing to speed in except boat End? no movies to go to, the Labra ---doreans remain very much the same
 kind of people their English, Scotch .s and Irish ancestors were who came < to the coast hundreds of years ago 2 Among the ''liyeyeres,' as the per.
 II Ranent residents are called, there
 : are also no suicides, no murders and ' DO nervous breakdowns.
 ,- Dr. Grenfell upset the popular CT. ' TOT that Labrador is a far nortF Y country. No part of it, he said, is ! farther north than any point o :. Scotland. Battle Harbor, one of tht ' principal ports, is in the latitude o
 A London, England. Therefore Labra

ANGELS WON BY NEAT BASEBALL
 IN FIRST HALF

LOS ANGELES, July 30.-Smart baseball still holds sway over nu- nierous basehits, if the Los Angeles club, winners of the first semes- ter in the Pacific Coast split-sea- son pennant race, can be set up as an example.
 The Angels could muster no bet ter than .304 team average which put them fourth on the list during the first half. Their leading hurler, little Berlyn Horne, was fifth from the top among the leading pitchers.
 An. almost airtight veteran infield cleverly handled by Lelivelt, mana ger, tided the club through.
 Lelivelt moved Ray Jacobs from second base to the initial sack. Francis Sigafoos, who came to the Angels by way of Portland from the Chicago White Sox, took sec ond. Harry Truck" Hannah, started the season as a coach but soon moved into the regular catching as- signment.
 Fred Haney, eX-big leaguer of note, and chief base stealer of the circuit, received third base position, with Carl Dittmar posted at short.
 To these guardians of the foot paths goes the greater share of the honors for first half victory What heavy hitting was done, for the most part, came at the hands of Wes Schulmerich, the outfielder who hankers to become profess sional wrestler.
 Wes led the loop with a 404 av- craze, but only four of his team mates were able to crash the 300 mark, with Johnny Moore, the best of these, hitting 1854, thirteenth from the top.
 Next to Horne among the Angel hurlers was Ed Baecht, with dozen wins and seven defeats.

e HELEN WILLS MOODY, like Bobby Jones, has one more big totlrnament to win in order to make it clean sweep for 193o. Unlike Bobby of Atlanta, however, Helen of Berkeley has been making an annual habit of sweeping every thing in V'onen's tennis.
 The odds should be at least 10 to .s 1,ron Helen to wade through the national championship field at ss Forest Hills in August. Jones at Merton will be about even money, which is remarkable enough, con- sidering the difference in hazards in the two sports.
 Helen Wills Moody has now won eleven national tennis champion ships in succession in France, Eng land and America. She has won 13 altogether. She has captured the U. s. crown six times within the past seven years, being unable to compete in 1926 because of an op- cration for appendicitis.
 She has not lost set to any feminine opponent since 1927. The Californian has been pressed to win even a set so seldom that it has removed the element of un- certainty in women's tennis wher- 4 eter she happens to be involved. Not even the great Suzanne Leng- len in her prime dominated the courts so completely as Queen Hell en
 The big winning streaks of 1930, up to the middle of July, have been those of Bobby Jones in golf, Gal lant Fox in horseracing and Helen Wills Moody in tennis. They have romped off with about all the main prizes that could conservative ly be expected of them in the short space of a few weeks, each start ing out in May to do things and go places rapidly.
 Never, believe, at least while I live, will women equal mems records in sports" writes Mary K. Browne in the magazine Tennis" They are nearer mems equal in swim ming, next in golf and further away in tennis; in polo, baseball, football and ice hockey, still fur ther' AS each game increasingly requires stamina, physical strength and speed, women are outdistanced .. but there will always remain few optimists who think there will live super-women who can de- feat men at any sport.
 # "On August 6, 1926, Gertrude Ederle conquered the English Chan mel and broke the best records of five men by two hours /. i. But Gertrude Ederle held her unusual swimming record for only a short time.
 Helen Wills Moody is better, believe, than the vast majority of men, but do not think she would fare as well in our mems national sennis championships as Miss Joyce Nethered would in a mems golf Championship.
 Tt is conceivable that in golf a super-woman might acquire the same accuracy with longer club that the men attain with shorter one. Francis Ouimet claims that Joyce Wethered is as good a shot maker as any man when she IS within 100 yards of the green, but tennis is entirely different and l ] cannot conceive of any woman being able to develop game equal to Tilden's for instance. nst.When Suzanne Lenglen was in her prime and, as so often happens there was no woman who could give her a game, Tilden defeated her 6-O in A friendly encounter"
