Hunt, who stands 6 feet and

.YANK PITCHERS
ON WILD STREAK

Pipgras, johnson and Ruffing,
three of Joe McCarthy's so-called
first string hurlers, furnished
plenty of mirth yesterday for De-
troit as the Tigers rallied in the
eleventh and turned back the
Yankees, 8 to T. Outside of hand
ing out IA bases on balls and
II hits, five in the final inning,
the three New York mound aces
were superb. The trio managed
to strike out three Detroit
hitters.
New York had IL men left on
bases, but even so that was two
less than Detroit. which surely
did not play brilliant ball. Vic
Sorrell staggered the distance for
the Tigers and Grabowski, bat
ting for Sorrell, scored the win
ming run on pop fly that
should have been caught, but
wasn't.
Ethan Allen hit a homer for
the Giants with the bases filled
but Catcher Hogan famed under
the same circumstances and
homers by Adams, Frisch and
Blades finally swept the st. Louis
Cardinals to victory, IL to 10.
Two hOmers by Rogers
HOrnSby won for the Cubs, Ii
to 3, over the Phils. The two
fOur-basers scored seven runs
in all. Malone was the win
ming hurler.
Douthit grabbed Bressler's
liner with the bases filled in the
eighth and with a sweet peg to

Walls of Silence

The federal farm board might be the first target
for Washington newspaper correspondents who are
trying to break down for the public the official wall
of silence" that has been raised there recently.
The board traded wheat to Brazil for coffee, and
the story finany leaked out IN Brazil The board sold
wheat to China for the food sufferers but the public
kept ignorant until President Hoover "scooped"
his board and announced the deal.
Then the sale of wheat to Germany by the board
was reported in Germany and brought here by the
cables The board surprisingly ignorant of the
negotiations.
On Thursday, Sept 10, Chairman James c. Stone
refused to confirm or deny the German DEAL
Then, on Friday, Sept. IL, the board issued a
mimeographed statement saying the German deal
has been consummated. 1t said the agreement was
entered into of Sept. s." that it signed by the
Grain Sterilization Corporation, farm board agency
on Sept T. and by the Germans on Sept. II.
Yet three days after the sterilization corporation
signed, stone neither could deny nor confirm the
deal.
Business secrets have their place, suppose. But
they have place in government business which is
conducted-and in this instance at great loss-with
the peoples money.

RESERVATIONS In Order

Governor Leslie is to be commended for his action
IN ordering the highway commission to explain its
action in the purchase Of trucks after decision to
use its funds for work roads, in the hope OF CIV
ing jobs to few Of the jobless in the state
The manner in which trucks have been bought in
the past has been scandal known to practically
every one except the Governor He has at last, ap-
parently come to the conclusion that the commits
sion needs investigation
one firm has received practically all the bust
ness and the bids on which contracts have been
let have been peculiar
This firm employs member OF the budget COM
nittee as it's salesman The statement that ne does
not personally handle the sa,es to the commission
has no force. The budget committee fixes salaries.
Every employee of commission knows of there rela-
tionship. Pleasing the budget commission is quite
as necessary and important as pleasing the Gov
ernor. There is always pressure even if not direct
" exerted.
This same firm has as one of its heads public
official who takes all responsibility for whatever
salesmanship is involved in selling to the state
The law rather specifically says that no state
official shall have direct or indirect interest in any
contract with the state. That phase of the matter
has been ignored.
Other truck builders who employ all Indiana labor
in the construction of their product have been passed
by This firm with its battery of officials on the
job gets the business Much of the money goes out
of the state.
Now that he has been ignored and Haunted,
Governor Leslie wants to know about it and shows
some courage in prying open the lid.
Perhaps he may have more courage and sug-
gest to the members whose handling of the immense
highway funds has been of doubtful judgment that
they are no longer needed in the service of the state
nd NV
the last legislature to put road building in the hands
of experts who give all their time to the work instead
of running the show on political basis
Until that happens, the best solution is chang

regulated by the human body to the
same extent as the beating of the
heart may be. The latter is almost
wholly an automatic function.
Breathing may, to large extent,
be controlled. You can breathe as
deeply or as fast as you wish, but
if you overeStimate yourself in ex-
ercising, the lungs will take in as
much air as they can to equal the
increased demand.
When "a person inhales air
through the nose, dust and dirt are
removed high up in the breathing
tract and the air is warmed.
Breathing through the mouth does
not supply these safeguards.
All systems of breathing such as
the "vitalic" breathing, abdominal
breathing, rhythmical deep breath
ing, and other schemes are IRA
tional.
Nobody ought to live for his
lungs alone. 1t is possible through
breathing too rapidly to stop the
respiration and it is possible by
breathing in too shallow a man.

that are not altogether healthful.
Enough exercise should be taken
and ordinary breathing ought to be
done sufficiently to provide for the
lungs a regular amount of ventila-
ton and development.

Earliest Chemistry

TINE opening chapter of the book
i points out the interesting fact
that practical knowledge of
many important chemical operations
precede the dawn of connected his
tory.
THE preparation Of wine and
vinegar, the arts of pottery, ele-
mentary metallurgy, glass-making
and dyeing are referred to as IA
miliar processes in the earliest hui
man records" Moore wrote.
Those who practiced these arts
in ancient times, however, recog-
nized no bond Of union between the
various pursuits, and would them
selves have been astonished If they
had been classified together.
"The dyer, the potter, or the
worker in metals either inherited
his craft or else acquired skill
through years of apprenticeship to
some successful master.
I'm either case, the practical rules
of procedure must have been handed
down in the form of oral tradition,
since the artisan class was practi-
cally illiterate.
From the number and variety
Of the industries successfully car
ried on, the sum total of knowl-
edge of chemical phenomena in
volved in them must have been con-
siderable. but we have no records Of
the details, and what we know Of
these early conditions depends upon
the chance illusions of contempo-
rary writers or upon the products
unearthed by archaeological re-
search.
Gold and silver ornaments have
been found which date back to the
stone age in Egypt.
cat first, silver appears to have
been rarer than gold, and was val
ued more highly up to 5000 B. c.,
and perhaps later.
