THE MARCH OF INVENTION
BY FREDERIC ]. HASKIN.

American inventiveness was not dis
couraged by the years Of depression.
In fact 1t appears to have been
speeded up. Possibly the mere fact Of
being out Of regular employment gave
some individuals time to perfect in
ventions they had been pondering for
years. Possibly sheer desperation
moved others to mechanical inspir-
alton. At any rate, the worst years
the country perhaps has ever known
economically were marked by I'M
portant advances.
The range is wide. On one end
there Is the aluminium stream-lined
train and on the other innumerable
small gadgets for household and per-
sonal use. In 1882 the Patent Once
issued more letters patent than In
any previous year in its history.
It is an almost ironical circumstance
that the hard times stimulated the
invention of mechanical, labpr-sav-
ing devices to lower production costs
in many lines. Ironical because many
people regard the wave Of unemploy-
ment due to the existence of too many
such devices. Yet the invention OF
new devices and Of processes actually
was stimulated.
The building industry is regarded
as having been the heaviest sufferer
from the hard times. Production in
this industry fell to only about 10 per
cent of normal. SO, in this field,
there was much effort spent to re-
duce building costs, to find new ma
terials and new methods. Because OF
their lightness in relation to tensile
strength aluminium and magnesium
have been introduced in building con-
struction, while new cement and tiles
have been devised The use of glass
has increased and number of new
compositions have been introduced
for interior walls A joint connecter
has been patented which speeds con-
struction and reduces labor. Hand
me-down houses were in use, of course,
before the depression, but there have
been remarkable advances during the
bad years and now it Is easier than
ever to obtain a mail-order house, de-
livered, one might say, to ones door
site.
Air Conditioning Advances.
The advance in ir-conditioning
has been greatest during the years
since 1929. Air conditioning was
known before 1880. but it has seen
its greatest advance in the very worst
years since. The Department of
Commerce shows that orders booked
for apparatus during the first four
months Of 1888 amounted to $l,5l8,-
600, while for the first four months
of 1884 they were s3,328,000. In ad-
dition to the pretentious plants for
large buildings, the manufacturers
now offer small, individual coolers or
conditioners for the small house or
fiat.
In the same general category come
electric refrigerators. The year 1929
is looked back upon as one of the
highest imaginable prosperity. EN-
ployment during most of the year
was full, profits were huge, wages
high. In that brisk year sales of elec-
trio refrigerators amounted to 840,-
900. In the year 1888, which is looked
back upon as the worst year in Amer
lean economic history, with 12,000,-
900 out of work, few companies meet
ing dividend requirements, and rath-

Will Get More Opportunity.

@RONIN has been particularly
u sweet on this pair from the be-
ginning of training and the
through yesterday tickled him no end
After the contest. he did not hesitate
to declare his faith in these aspiring
candidates and added that every op-
portunity for development would be
afforded them.
Prim, who left-nanded his way
through the first five frames, was the
main victim of the Indian attack. He
yielded all the alien runs and six of
the seven safeties that we're credited
to the invaders of Biloxi Park. Yet
he showed a fine fast ball, a decep-
tive curve and a battling change of
pace.
Something else. too. that Prim re-
vealed was deceptive pitching mo-
ton that made the Tribesmen who
reached first base hesitate about TAX
ing a healthy lead of the station.
He flashed this knack before the game
was warm when after two were out
in the first frame Earl AVerill, the
southSide swinging batsman, managed
to crack a handle single to left field.
Earl decided to take advantage of the
supposed greenie and stepped a trif1e
far from the sack. Prim then pitched
a strike to Joe Vosnlik ever a danger
GUS batter, and poised for his second
delivery. Instead of travelling toward
the man at the plate, however, the ball
went to first base and Joe Kuhel easily
erased Averill Thereafter in Prin's
term on the hill, no Indian who was
fortunate enough to reach the initial
sack took any liberties with Prim.

CRON|N IS T|CKLED
WITH SLAB ROCKS
Set Down Indians in True
Big League Fashion in
First Real Tilt. u
BY JOHN B. KELLER.

~ nOXI, Miss, March "a
x That pitching problem
with which Manager Joe
~ Cronin has been wrestling
ever since the Nationals opened
camp here early this month may
have been solved yesterday as
the Nationals in their first for
NAL competition of the training
campaign won 5 to 2 over the
Cleveland Indians.
Cronin sent to the hill only two
pitchers, the left-handed Ray Prim
and the right-handed Ed Linke, and
both looked so well they may easily
complete the managers nine-man hill
squad, which already has seven vet
Grams seemingly assured of member

As they performed against Walter
Jollnsons outfit, Prim and Linke

clude Earl Whitehill, Al Crowder,
Walter Stewart, Monte Weaver and
Jack Russell and more than probably
Al Thomas and Bobby Burke.

old veteran of the minors; Ed Chap

ter; Len Phillips, the purchase from
Albany. and Mark Filley, shipped here
for trial by the same club. haven't
had trials under fire this Spring and
may display surprising worth. but
from what these four have uncovered
in training none appears to have
much chance to go along as strongly
as either Prim or Linke.

way through the stiles and that's
about 10 per cent of the towns
population.
This Holland who is being tried
in right field by the Indians came
from the Milwaukee club. He
looked pretty good, but nothing
like Sam Rice. who took over the
berth in the fifth frame. The for
mer Washington star appears in
great trim and he's been playing
fine bail for Johnson's club this
Spring.
Had Schultz not loafed on hit
in the fifth, Pytlak would not have
made a double. 1t was really
nothing more than a single that
he banged. But that's what these
exhibition games are for. Schultz
will do more hustling the next
time something comes his way.
After five frames Manager Cro-
min threw In his reserves, Boken,
Dugas. Sington. Kerr and Harris
crashing the game. Dugas and
Harris helped themselves to safe
ties, Dugas cracking a two-bag-
ger. And Gus looked mighty fast
as he sped from second to third
base in the seventh after the Tribe
left fielder gathered in Sington's
loft.
A feature OF the game most
pleasing to Washington observers
was the work done behind the bat
for the Nationals by Elmer
Klumpp. The catcher sent here
by Chattanooga for training held
up both Prin and Linke in fine
fashion He saved Linke from q
wild pitch by spectacular pickup
Of a low and inside heave to
Knickerbocker in the seventh. And
a runner was on first base at the
time. Klumpp failed to get a hit,
but he took a good cut at the ball

Trosky at first base, perhaps Bad
News Hale at second, although he
played third here yesterday in the
exhibition game while Bozie Berger
was at the middle station; Bill
Knickerbocker at short, and Johnny
Burnett at third. These young
fellows have their days, but not
often enough maybe to make the
Indians particularly formidable in
the pennant pursuit.
The Indians will have a sturdy
outheld with Earl Averill and Joe
Vosmik playing the leading roles,
a good catching staff headed by
Roy Spencer and Glenn Myatt.
although little frankie Pytlak can
contribute plenty to this depart
ment, and a superb pitching staff.
If he can get his infield func-
tioning properly, johnson says the
Indians will give the Nationals and
all other rivals a great argument
this time.
1t was a great day for Biloxi
yesterday with the biggest crowd
at ball game since the Nationals
started training here in 1880.

Washington boy trying for regular
