Strong in Pinches.

Strong in Pinches,
TW1CE the White Sox got as
many as two hits in an inning.
Simmons opened the second
with single and, after Appling
popped, was forced out by Dykes.
This play almost finished Simmons
for the day, too. Cronin, trying for
double-play after getting Myers toss,
chucked with all he had and the ball
plunked against the back of the duck
ing Simmons bean. Al went down
and out for time. but revived to
finish the fray. After that Hayes
singled, but Shea put up soft pop
Simmons opened the fourth with
another single, Tommy made Ap-
pling one of his five strikeouts. Then
Simmons was nipped as he attempt
ed to steal second, so Dykes two
bagger was wasted. Hayes walk fol-
lowed Dykes hit, but Tommy easily
disposed of Shea.
Uhalt got on when his bunt was
messed by Boken with one out in
the third and never got by first r. ?
In the eighth Bordagaray pinched for
Jones and hit for a base. Uhalt
strolled. But Haas fouled out and
Bonura whacked into a double play
that started with the forcing of
Bordagaray at third base.
That was the fine brand of base
ball that Tommy pitched.
The Nationals hoped on Sam
Jones, an old pal, for their victory.
They got all their nine hits and all
their runs off him in the seven ses-
sions he toiled The White Sox made
it tough for their starter by kicking in
with three errors and Jones made one
himself that did not figure in the
scoring Ted Lyons heaved the
eighth against the Nationals without
being harmed.

Cleopatra, Dark Queen of
Egypt, Maybe a Blond

According to the popular belief,
Cleopatra was brunette, and is fire.
quently referred to as "the dark queen
of Egypt" But historical sources do
not supply positive evidence as to her
actual complexion notes writer in
the Cleveland Plain Dealer. She was
a Greek by ancestry. and Egyptian
only by birth.
So far as records go, she had no
Egyptian blood in her veins. 1t Is
supposed the Ptolemies remained pure
Macedonian Greeks, and their capital,
Alexandria, was the center of Greek
rather than Egyptian culture. Cleo
patra. therefore, must be regarded as
a Macedonian type, and the dark skin
and hair of the native Egyptian afford
no clew as to her complexion. Many
Greeks were dark compleKioned, but
white skin, fair hair and blue eyes
were not uncommon among the Mace
domains.
One of Cleopatra's ancestors, Ptol-
envy Philadelphus. is described by
Theocritus as having light hair and
fair complexion

EXPERT SUMS UP
FORMIDABLE LIST
OF EYE DEFECTS

Many a driver who sees clearly,
attention to the road still finds drlv-
ing car hazardous business. Such
man will be interested in what
DIR. Alvah r. Lauer, of Iowa State
college, says about the physical short
comings Of apparently normal people.
Clarity Of vision is merely one OF
the qualities of normal eyesight. A
secondary quality is width of the
field of vision. Normally, a person
looking straight ahead detects the
presence of a car when 1t pulls up
beside him, but some do not become
aware Of 1t until 1t moves ahead. Ex-
IRENE sufferers from narrow vision
are said to possess tunnel vision, but
many persons have less than the nor
NAL field of 1856 to 1876 degrees and
do not suspect the fact.
Depth of vision also Is necessary
to safe driving. This means that the
man behind the wheel must not only
be able to see car In the road
but must be aware of whether 1t Is
travelling with him, standing still, or
coming toward him, and approximately
how fast. Depth perception is linked
with another point, eye dominance.
Many people who get headaches
when they are tired do so because
they are seeing out of only one eye,
although they do not know 1t. Two
eyes are needed for three dimension
sight.
Color blindness is a common and
widely recognized fault. Another
thing needed for safe driving is
strength In the hands for emergency
use; there must also be the ability
to judge speed of movement, and the
right amount of awareness to sudden
noise. All these and many other
abilities are part of every persons
makeup in varying degrees. We rec
ognize them by saying driver Is
alert, or capable, observant, quick,
cool, but seldom think to discover
which particular combinations Of
perception and nervous control pro-
duce these desirable qualities. 1t
goes without saying, however, that a
driver who recognizes his deficien-
cles can take steps to compensate for
them.-Detroit Free Press.

New Sleeping Luxury

Ceiba fiber, the product of tropical
tree already widely used for insulating
purposes, now bids fair to replace wool
and down in the manufacture of bed
quilts and comforters. Tests have
proven it to be % per cent more eff
Client than wool for this purpose and
as light in weight as the softest down.
In addition this material is said to be
naturally moth-proof and resistant to
odors and does not have a tendency to

ordinary comfortable filters.

New York Prue's heart felt warm.

Stark, thin-lipped Jane Mack, her

air of being about to commit a social
blunder. The rosy-faced stout woman
pumped into her chair with a con-
tented sigh.

interval devoted to serving and eat

Science Witnesses Evolution

Scientists are now permitted to see
evolution in actual progress because
of the discovery Of red quail on. a
southern game preserve. This brick
red specimen of the ordinary bob
white is exactly like the rest Of the
family except as to color. This sub
species breeds true to color even when
mated with the usual brown and white
birds. 1t is the first time that natural
evolution has ever been witnessed and
consequently scientists are keeping a
close watch on the birds.-Pathfinder

Settlement out of court was eff. fected in five civil actions asking a total of $70,0O0 damages in the superior court here today. Four of the actions were based on auto mobile mishaps and the other on a stairway fall. Tn the suit, of Josephine Vysocka of this city against pr Samuel M.

POSTMASTERSHIP
 NOT YET SETTLED
Civil Service Commission Looking Over Blanks
 Filed By Applicants

The Waterbury postmastership situation was today back in the same status that it was more than three weeks ago, when appli- cations closed. The latest report from Washington is that the list of candidates will be limited to those applying before Jan. 2, closing date for applications.
 The blanks submitted by the seven applicants will be studied by the civil service commission and the three rating highest will be submitted to the postal depart ment. Any one of these three can then be recommended for the post, or all of them refused, a new ex- animation called for.
 A day after applications closed the civil service commission an- nounced that the examination had been cancelled, thereby giving rise to the belief that Acting Postmas- ter James T. Kelley would be pro- noted through the service. Senator Augustine Lonergan then asked that an examination be held. The report from Washington ends the speculation as to whether 1t would be necessary to have the applicants file new blanks and questionnaire forms.
 Seven applications have been submitted for the postmastership. In addition to Acting Postmaster Kelley, the applicants are Edward J. Real, Michael J. Bergin, William T. Harrington, Charles A. Babin, James F. Wallace and James A. Neagle.

TREASURY'S CASH BALANCE BOOSTED
Record Levels at $l,4S9,- O63,226 Attained From
 Huge Security Sale

Washington, Jan 31.-(UP)- The United States treasury's cash balance was boosted today to around record levels at $1,489,- 063,226 from the proceeds of last weeks billion dollar security sale.
 This huge balance will be in- creased by $2,6O0, to $4,- 00,OOO,000 additional as soon as the profits from the govern ment's dollar devaluation plan are will help finance the recovery drive and the proposed $2,000,000,0O0 sta utilization fund.
 A continued heavy drain of funds out of the treasury was re- vealed in today's treasury state- ment, which showed that $921,175,- 57O had been spent in the first 29 days of January, one of the heavi- est spending periods since the World War. In the first 29 days of last January, only $335,46O,408 was spent.
 The heavy January expenditures carried the governments deficit to- day for the. current fiscal year, which began July 1, to above the deficit of the corresponding date a year ago. The deficit on January 29 stood at $1,871,3O8,542, against $1, 9,841,716 a year ago.

New State Hospital
 For Children Sought
1935 Session of General Assembly to Be Asked for
 Appropriation of Nearly $4,O0O,OOO for Purchase

Hartford, Conn, Jan 31.-(UP) An appropriation of approxi- mately $4,OO0,0OO for purchase of site and construction of new state hospital for treatment of mentally deficient children, will be asked of the 1885 session of the general assembly, it was learned to-day.
 A committee, composed of trus- tees of the Mansfield state hospi- tai and State Commissioner of Fi- nance Edward F. Hall and State Architect Albert Bennett, have selected three tentative sites, it was understood, although no ef- forts have been made to acquire the property by agreement or op- tion.
 The new hospital, if approved. may be built in New Haven or Litchfield county.
 Efforts to secure an appropria- ton from the 1888 legislature were unsuccessful in view of shortage of funds. However, a committee was authorized to make study of locations and report to the next session.
 While the state now faces de- ficit of approximately $7,000,000 the need of such an institution was said to be imperative in that there are enough mentally deficient chil- dren and adults in the state wait ing list now to fill a hospital larger than the Mansfield State Training School and Hospital, now over- crowded.

and Lena Wilner. The suspicion of the fire officials was aroused by the report that the odor of kerosene was very noticeable. The fire marshal learned on inquiry that the kerosene had been left in the cellar by a former tenant, a grocer. A jar of gasoline in the cellar also was claimed by 8 tenant of the building.
 The fire marshal further stated:
 we learned that some workmen along with the plumber had been in the cellar earlier in the day, and that when the plumber left everything was perfect. But there was plenty of rubbish in the west side, near the cellar window and stairway to the first floor. Entrance was easy.
 We do not now regard 1t as suspicious fire in any waH care- lessness in large accumulation of rubbish, of all kinds and ma- -terials, left for some time, brought about a situation, which resulted in fire.
