Harbord Thinks Resumption

NEW YORK, December 9.-Resum-

ably restore jobs to six and half mil
lion workers, Gen. James G. Harboard,
chairman of the Board of the Radio

ican Society of Mechanical Engineers.
He outlined far-reaching results
which he believes will come from merely
resuning machine repairs and replace
ments as one of the biggest steps in
iustry can now take to speed up pros
perity.
Like the man at home who thought
1t prudent after 1929 to spend as little
as possible, Gen Harbord said indus
trialists ceased to repair and replace
their machines. That he added, brought
idleness to 1,619,000 men engaged IN
such work.
Those same men lost their wages
which the general estimated as over
three billion dollars year"
Tracing the chain of other jobs af-
fected by this one big cut, he said:
''Some 6,500,000 workers are now in
digent and idle This cumulative effect
cannot be measured in dollars alone.
It may, if unchecked, go to the very
foundation of our free institutions"
He explained that machines have to
be scrapped SO rapidly on account of
new inventions that or 3 years is
often the whole lifetime of machine.
BY stopping these repairs and replace
fnents, he told the engineers, industry

Fat Man Reduces
 B Pounds-Oh Boy

Don't be stubborn, you big fat men-throw off your fat before your fat throws you into the discard. Do as MT. s. A. Lanier of Sawtelle, Calif., did-read his letter:
 q have used two reducing belts to no benefit but since using Kru- schen Salts each morning in my coffee I have taken off lbs. in week and eat most anything like. I weighed 243 lbs. 6 months ago and now I weigh 190 lbs"
 Take one half. teaspoonful of Kruschen Salts in a glass of hot water every morning-cut down on fatty meats, potatoes and sweets now you know the safe way to lose unsightly fat.
 For a trifling sum you can get a jar of Kruschen Salts that lasts 4 weeks at Butler Mauro Drug Go. and Juneau Drug Co. or any drug store in the world-but be sure and get Kruschen-your health comes first. -adv.

DANGER OF FEUD AVOIDED BY MILD
 WHITE SOX FINES

CLEVELAND, O., June Is. - Perhaps another famous baseball feud, such as the Ban Johnson Comiskey affair, has been avert ed.
 It looked like the makings of a first class row when our Chi cago White Sox players engaged in an under -the-bleaeher brawl with Umpire Georgie Moriarty in Cleveland.
 William Harridge, as President of the League. came from Chi cago to investigate
 With rule permitting a 90-day suspension to almost half the Chi cago team on club house walls, It was recalled how the late Ban Johnson, then League head. in- cured the lasting enmity of the late Charles Comiskey, White Sox owner, over an adverse ruling in awarding of player.
 Would the new league head have a run in with the new White SoX owner, Louis Comiskey, son of the "Old Roman?'
 The elder Comiskey was a great friend of Harridge But so was he friend of Johnson until the ! two had their difference. 1 But it all blew over when Har- ridge assessed fines upon Manager Lew Fonseca, Coach John Butler, Pitcher Milton Gaston and Catch CTS Charles Berry and Frank Grube with brief suspensions for Gaston and Butler.

Whatever may have been under lying reasons, apart from his health tho. t.oagat about the resignation C.

 Connie Mack remains but Mo GraW's departure really removes from the field the last of the old time fighters" the war-horse of baseball who asked and gave nc quarters.
 It is remarkable, in fact, that all three of the leaders associated with the twentieth century suc- cesses of New York's trio of big league clubs have now passed from the scene of action. The late MIL Ter Huggins died after winning six pennants with the Yankees Wilbert Robinson virtually was busted after a long term of off, flee, during which he twice cap tured pennants for Brooklyn. Now McGraw is off the bench, after piloting ten National League cham pions and three world champion ships.
 Of course McGraW, in the last few years especially, lost much of his old truculence. He was nc longer the "Muggsey" of scrappie1 days and resented the nickname heartily. III health forced him to take things easier and reduced his active direction of the club to a part-time basis.
 The old spirit of McGraw some how resented modern methods and trends. the forces that outlawed or discouraged the fighting habits of ball-players in another era McGraw's era; it was only a sea- son or so ago that the veterans wrath exploded in St. Louis against his old foes, the umpires Me Graw carried the fight to John Heydler, President of the National League.

Development of polo for girls at the University of Arizona did not seem to the coeds a startling de- parture, although at the outset progress was not propitious.
 Horseback riding is major coed sport, nearly every feminina stu dent spending at least a few hours week on the bridle paths, Since 1922 the mems polo team has won wide attention, several times com ing into national prominence.
 Two years ago the girls demand ed their right to invade one more mans sport. Authorities looked ask ance, but capitulated, until in the first scrimmage the over-enthus- iastic coeds mixed polo mallets in discriminatory with the legs of their mounts, spilling horses and riders groteSquely.
 There were no casualties, but that was the end of feminine polo for a time.
 Recklessness Banned
 This season the petition was re- newed, with promises that reck- lessness would be curbed until the girls learned the fundamentals. The plea was frowned upon, but the young women persisted, and Cap tain Irwin finally was assigned as coach to organize a real team. Matchmakers got busy-the girls got proposals of marriage.

NAPLES, Italy, January 21.-An-
! cient Vesuvius presented a new problem
| to scientists today after fresh groWlings
and explosions last night.
The problem is, Why has VesuvluS'

No one was hurt by last nights dem
onstration, which consisted Of light
earthquake shock and loud explosive
noises and rumblings underground.
AS soon as the explosions ceased the
crater, which always has been aglow at
night by internal fires, had become cold
dark, and remained that way. Scien-
lists today began an investigation to
determine why.
An observatory, a military police bar
racks, a convent, a railroad and a hotel
on the volcanoes side danced" reports
said, during the disturbance, but re-
manned upright. Their quakeproof
construction saved them, observers said.
The motion of the movement was per-
pendicular and they were actually
lifted up and set down again. Many of
the occupants were asleep at the time,
but they vacated the buildings after
ward and huddled on the mountain,
wondering what the raspy old hill
would do next.
Attendants at the observatory worked
through the night, but learned little
except that the epicenter of the quake
was within or under the mountain and
it apparently affected only small
area.
The rumblings continued two hours.
