Bruce Caldwell
 Now Free Agent

Bruce Caldwell, former first baseman of the Bulldogs, who has becn holdout all year, was 'noti- fled last evening by John II. Far reli. secretary of the National As- sociation of Professional Baseball leagues, that he had been granted his claim as a free agent. This means that Caldwell Is now free to do business with any teams in organized baseball! he cares to. and 1t was understood last evening that the big slugger who, topped the Eastern league last season In bat ting and home runs will open ne- gotiations with several clubs which have sought his services recently. It Is understood that Caldwell's claims were based on non-payment of salary due from last season.

 New York. May 19--(U. P.) - The Yankees were going good. and 1t was c pretty elegant ball game, but Bob shawkey, who managed them in 1890 was thinking about gold mines instead--mines with as much gold in them us burlesque queens upper plate.
 Here he was, in the press box at the Stadium, his legs stretched out indolently, his cap over his eyes, and his eyes somewhat mist ed and blurred at tho thought of the great silent north, whore men are men and lawdy help the weak lnEs.
 We broke his reverie with tap on the shoulder.
 "HellO Bob, how does the club look as compared to the bunch you had in 1930?"
 Huh? oh, 1t runs about $19.5O to ton of ore. I'm sorry. l was thinking about my gold mine. The Yankees, they look pretty hot. When they get some hitting to go along with this pitching, they're liable to be caution. Say, you don't happen to know anybody with an extra $76,000 or SO. do you?"
 No, we didn't know anybody with 70 cents, much less 75 grand. But what did he want with that sort of money?
 want it for my gold mine. You knew l had one. didn't youY Well I have. It's up fin the Rouyan cOun- try. about 500 miles north of Tor onto. 1 bought the land last year on n tip from prospector friend. People told me was l0oney. but 1t looks like I'm going to get the last laugh. The big Sisco mine Is right by my place, in the same vein. and they mined about $300.- O0O worth of gold last month.
 I'm ready to start as soon as l form n com pany-Im going to cali if the Shawkey Gold Mine company-and raise $75.000 for en,ipmer,t. I've got s50,000 of my money in 1t already, and that's all l can spare.

That's because so mny of them have been sucked m sn phoney deals. But I've got the ,eal thing. The Canadian govern hent will tell you that" ..

Governmental did Widespread

HE extent to which governmental aid to a
particular industry extends is not always
readily discernible Take, for instance, the case
of the leather industry. Leather manufacturers
are familiar with the research work the Gov
eminent chemists have carried on In working
out tanning compounds and the treatment Of
leather, but perhaps the other or more wide
spread efforts are not realized at all
Tanning compounds come from various trees
and other sources producing fannie acid. One
of the most important of these is the chestnut
tree, which is disappearing because of the
strange blight which has practically eliminated
the tree in some parts of the country
New sources Of tannin must be found or sub
stitute materials produced. The Department
of Agriculture has sought to introduce new
types of chestnut not subjected to the blight

into this country. They have endeavored to
find other trees which might serve as well as or
perhaps better than the chestnut in producing
tannin These activities, carried on outside the
laboratories and at widely scattered parts OF
the world, are not so well known, yet they are
q definite step in the direction Of aid to the
tanning industry and, therefore, to the con-
sumner who wears shoes and wants the best,
Longest lived leather he can find.
Then there is the question of animal breed
ing, feeding and control of diseases and ticks
which make holes in the hides and destroy them
for use as leather. An readers Of newspapers
are familiar with the so-called tick wars" IN
which actual hloodshed has occurred In enforc-
ing the Federal regulations requiring the dip
ping of animals in anti-tick compounds.
Federal experts have gone deeply into the

question Of proper methods Of skinning car
cases and curing hides to preserve them for
refinement IN the tanneries. They have taken
up the breeding of various M-bearing animals,
such as for instance, the Alaskan reindeer.
Government hunters cover wide areas in killing
out predaceous animals which war on domestic
live stock and valuable E-bearing wild animals.
All these and other activities involving many
departments and bureaus within the depart
ments ere carried On in the interest Of the
various classes Of persons interested in the pro-
ciuction of leather from the hide to the finished
article IN the hands Of the consumer.

production methods and equipment
and better engineering practices which
have been developed.
Second, the important adjustment
between the highway and the motor
vehicle that has taken place has been
accomplished through the cooperation
of the motor vehicle manufacturers
and the tire manufacturers and the
highway engineers. Only few years
ago the heavier loads were all carried
on solid rubber tires. Pneumatic tires
had not been developed capable of
carrying the heavier wheel loads.
When, through the process of expert
mentation and research, it was found
that the use of solid rubber tires under
the heavier loads resulted in high i'm
pacts on road surfaces, causing depre-
citation in both vehicle and the road,
the tire manufacturers. devited earnest
and successful efforts to the produc-
ton of heavy duty pneumatic tires.
Research Findings.
Also, when, through research, 1t was
found that the wheel load or axle load
rather than the gross load is of ma jor
Importance in the effect upon the high
way structure, the motor vehicle manu-
facturers redesigned their larger We
hicleS to increase the number of axles,
and to place them upon either the
high pressure or balloon type Of heavy
duty tires These two developments
are of outstanding Importance to the
future highway transport in their ef-
feet not only upon the service to the
public, but also upon the public's pock-
etbok, which during these times, is
highly important.
Today the highway transport indus
try is a highly convincing demonstra-
ton that highway officials, road con-
tractors, equipment manufacturers,
material producers, motor vehicle and
rubber tire manufacturers have coop

for the transport service; and these

MOTORISTS SHARE
IN RESPONSIBILITY
Recent Pennsylvania Court
Case Is Cited by
A. M. A.

The driver of an automobile who
continues to proceed for a distance Of
more than $50 feet at night while his
eyes are blinded by the lights Of ap-
preaching automobiles, and as a result
crashes into a contractors crane parked
in the street without lights, is guilty
of contributory negligence, and Is pre-
cluded from recovering for the dam
ages resulting.
Opinion Of Test Case.
The Superior Court Of Pennsylvania
so held in test case just decided the
latter part of November and reported
by the legal department of the Ameri-
Motorists Association.
The opinion, of interest to every mo-
torist, is quoted, in part, by the A. M.
A., and is as follows: "A driver of an
automobile must keep in mind that an
obstacle may appear in his path at any
time, and so drive his car as to be able
to avoid it, under ordinary circum-
stances. What would be a safe speed
in daylight, or at night under ordinarily

favorable conditions, may be very un-
safe when the range of the drivers vi
sion is limited. The Supreme Court
and this court have steadfastly held
that it is the duty of the driver of an
automobile, when he is driving at night.
to have his car under such control that
he may stop or turn it away when OBJ
jects intercepting his passage come
within the range of his lights. In test
ing plaintiffs conduct, how can it pos
sibly be said that he was not negligent
in driving his car at speed Of from
25 to 80 miles II he could not see the
crane until he was within five feet Of
1t?
The only rational conclusion Is that
he either drove directly into the crane
and failed to slacken his speed when he
could not see objects which might ap-
pear in his path, or failed to turn aside
if he could see the crane. He could
not proceed without having sufficient
viwe Of the highway in front Of him
to safeguard those who might be forced
to use it, and it could not be said that
he discharged his duty in this respect
if he proceeded, although blinded by
the lights Of approaching automobiles;
so advancing, he was in no different
position than he would have been had
he gone on with his eyes shut.
Temporarily Blinded.
plaintiff testified that he was tempo
rarily blinded The extent and dura-
tion of the blindness may not have been
such as to have made it his duty TO
stop, as in some circumstances may be
necessary in the exercise Of due care
when a driver is blinded by lights. But
his testimony leaves no doubt in our
minds that in the circumstances as he
described them it was his duty to re-
duce his speed, and that his continuing
to drive at a speed Of 25 miles an hour
until it was too late to avoid striking
the crane was negligence. Under the
conditions, such speed cannot be de-
termined to be the exercise Of due
care"

constantly decreasing index Of road
costs before there was any effect from
the present depression. The decrease
in road costs for the five-year period
from 1924 to 1929, taken from unit
prices of Federal-aid projects, was
about 27 per cent. During this same
period there was a canstant increase
in the quality of the roads produced
generally. The road contractors and
equipment manufacturers are to be
