ducing results against the BuShmen
Evidently something happened
that wiped off the Indians war
paint. They were a fighting crew
only recently when they won five
out of six starts. On last Friday,
however, the spell was punctured.
They lost to St. Paul, were idle
Saturday. split a twin bill with the
Millers Sunday and then toppled
again yesterday. Now the home boys
have dropped three out of the last
four battles.
The Indians now will turn to the
night lights and endeavor to win a
few nocturnal contests. No action
is scheduled today, but tomorrow
the big towers will be aglow and the
might opener" will be played with
the Milwaukee Brewers serving as
the opposition Mondays and Fri
DAYS will be ladies nights" under
the after-dark arrangements ana
play will begin at 8:15.
Forced to Night Ball
With Home Town Ownie Bush on
hand with his league-leading Millers
the local club officials thought yes
terday's game would show an in
crease in attendance over the week
day tits of last week, but it was no
different. Persons who are unem-
ployed have not the whereWlthal TO
put out and persons employed can
not afford to LAY off" 1t becomes
necessary, therefore, to play night
ball at once-Or sink.
Similar conditions prevail at
Iolliville and Toledo, and if st. Paul
doesn't perk up shortly and hit
winning stride the Apostles will be
performing before empty STANDS at
home. Weather permitting, games
will be played every night at the
local stadium, exclusive of Sunday
The Indians pastimed without the
services of Ernie Wingard yesterday
and the lanky first sacker will be
seen in a Milwaukee uniform here
tomorrow night He was sold to the
Brewers yesterday morning in
straight cash deal. Johnny Cooney
held down the initial sack job and
Como Cotelle filled Cooney's terri
tory in the center pasture.
Starr Is Effective
Ray Starr, Minneapolis right
handler, kept Tribe hits few and far
between in all but the sixth inning,
when the home tossers rallied for
two runs after two down on a single
by Rosenberg, triple by Washing
ton and a single by Bedore. Sher-
lock also smacked a one-baSer IN
that round, but was forced by Sprlnz
The Indian hit total was eight,
with the top of the batting order
having a bad day. The Millers
smaSsed eleven blows. They were
helped to their first three runs by
shaky Tribe defense. They tailed
one marker in the first, one in the
fourth. one in the fifth, one in the
sixth and two in the eighth. Pinkie
Hargrave, with two doubles and a
single, was the batting leader Of the
winners.
Bob Logan, Indian starting pitch
er, received cratic support and de-
served a better fate. He retired for
a pinch hitter in the seventh. Jack
Using took up the toll in the eighth
and was knocked out in short order.
Hal Chamberlain, giant rookie, re-
lieved Using and put the check to
the MillerS.
Dudley Lee turned in some fancy
stops in the Tribe short field and
accepted ten chances without miss.
The defeat yesterday knocked the
Indians out of tie for second place
and Louisville was in sole possession

Bespectacled Mr.. Ouimet, who
ranks right along with culture and
baked beans in Boston, was being
prodded today by his mates and
writer's for his lack of resistance
to the game which was being
played around here in the four
teenth century.
One or two of the lads thought
of writing poem about Ouimet'S
Day of Rest" 1t seems that the
greatest and most enduring golfer
Massachusetts, ever produced de-
cided to ease off yesterday. He
spent about twenty minutes eX-
planning that a complete day of
rest would help his game a lot.
He owed it to himself; it would
help the team in approaching
matches with the British. Francis
did everything but wave the Star
Spangled Banner in this eXplana-
ton.

~ wandered around the club
house and course in the morning,
champing at the bit, while Johnny
Goodman, Lawson Little and the
others were out betting the eggs
around, practicing singles.
Came the afternoon, and with
Ouimet's complete and abject
surrender. Teamed with George
T. Dunlap Jr., U. S. amateur
titleholder, Francis was steaming
over the historic and hazardous
course in a Scotch foursome.
Every one was we'll pleased
when Francis and Dunlap were
beaten, 3 and /, by Goodman and
Little. All felt that it was no
more than just after Ouimet's dis
play of lack of will power Ouimet
and Dunlap scored 78, while their
opponents carded IA.

Busy days are here again" is the
theme song along gasoline alley
where drivers and mechanics are
swinging into the intensive training
grind in preparation for the Me-
mortal day 5OO-mile auto race.
Cars are arriving daily, and by
the end of the week Speedway Oh
fcials predict the big brick oval will
be cluttered with gas buggies get
ting ready for the qualification
trials starting on May 10.
Seven cars we're wheeled around
the track yesterday, and another
active day was predicted for today.
Most interesting in the days news
was the announcement that Louis
Meyer. 1888 winner. was on his way
here by train. Meyer, the only two
time winner of the event still cam
paigning, has high hopes of making
it three 5OO-mile triumphS, and
early indications are that Louis is
the man to beat this year.
Two Victories This Year
Since last years five-century vic
tory. Louis has won every major
event in which he started. and his
two starts this year both have
brought victory. Meyer has a new
four-cylinder car all ready for the
event and isn't backward in pre-
dieting he can wind it up over the
l4O-mile-an-hOur mark. The new
speed job is en- route from Calitor-
MIA by truck and will be unlOaded
here soon.

strength needed to withstand given
Dam is so large, however. that the
stock engineerin equations failed.
They had never been tested to such
great dimensions. Yet engineers had
to know in advance how the pipes
would stand up when holding back
enough water, stored in the reservoir,
to cover a State like Kentucky to
depth of l foot.
PoIarized Rays Used.
DR.. S. C. Hollister, professor of
STRUCTURAL engineering Of Purdue Uni
versity, who conducted the tests on
the structural strength of the pipe,
told the writer how he made these
tests at the recent symposium on
Boulder Dam sponsored by the New
York sections of the American Society
of Mechanical Engineers, the Amer
ican Society of Civil Engineers and
the American Welding Society.
At Purdue University the engineers
built small-scale sections of the huge
pipe out of transparent celluloid.
While applying pressure to the models,
they shone a special kind of light,
known as plane and circularly polar
lied rays, through them.
PolariZed rays sounded technical,
but Dr. Hollister gave simple ex-
planation of this kind of light. Ordi-
nary light, he said, is speeding along
at 1856, 900 miles a second, but at the
same time it is vibrating at right
angles to its direction of motion.
These sideward vibrations might be
likened to the straws in haystack in
a field, mixed helter-skelter. A wind
comes along, he continued, which, in
analogy, might be considered as the
transmission Of the light. and blows
the StrawS of hay against nearby
picket fence. Many straws will be
stopped by the fence and only those
parallel to the Stats will pass through.
Passing ordinary light through an in
strument called a Nicol prism makes
polarized light, for what comes out
the other end is a ray whose vibra-
tions are all parallel, just as the straWs
Of hay coming through the fence were
all parallel.
Small Models Built.
What happens when polarized light
is passed through a celluloid model
under pressure is that wherever strains
occur in the material colored, rain
bow-like pattern is visible. study

of these rainbow patterns in the
models showed which types would
work best when built of steel at full
size.
Next the Purdue engineers con-
structed steel pipe to one-sixth actual
size, or S feet in diameter; plugged up
both ends and pumped in water under
four times as much pressure as would
be encountered in actual use.
AS the water squeezed the pipe from
the inside the engineers put delicate
strain gauges, or mechanical fingers"
on the outside and measured the ex-
pansion of the pipe. The robot fingers
could detect changes in length down
to one ten-thousandth of an inch.
With all the scientific data checked
and approved, the Babcock & Wilcox
Co., who have the $40 1000, 900 contract
for the pipe construction, were ready
to 60 ahead with the actual fabrica-
ton of the huge pipe. Thirty-foot OBJ
jectS cannot, of course, be moved on
freight cars because of track clear
ance and bridges. The rolling mill
and welding plant had to be built,
therefore, near the site of installation.
Each section of pipe is made from
three pieces of steel plate 80 feet long.
IL feet wide and nearly 3 inches
thick. Each piece is run through
giant rollers so that when 1t comes
out it is curved in just the right bend.
Then the three are welded end to
end to produce circular section of
pipe.
Seams Finally Inspected.
The intense heat needed to melt the
metal of the pipe and the welding rod
joins the sections together, but, at the
same time, it can create stresses in
the metal. 1t is necessary, therefore,
to pick up each of the 150-ton Sec
tions and transport them with cranes
to a huge furnace where the unit is
heated to nearly 400 degrees. This
treatment relieves the stresses, but
cooling must be undertaken slowly
and the section brought back to nor
NAL over a period of days.
Finally comes the inspection OF
every welding seam land together
they total over rs miles, with X-rays.
Any faults concealed to the best sur
face inspection is revealed by this
technique. Any faulty metal Is cut out
and new piece inserted.
At present the pipe sections are
stored on the canyon rim like great
hoops. Some are straight and some
are bent to go around curves. They
will be lowered 800 feet into the
canyon for installation in their special
tunnels when the latter are complete
Joining of the many sections of pipe
into one continuous line will be under
taken when they are all in place in
the tunnels. If they were linked to-
gether at the temperature of the air
the passage Of the water after the
task was complete might make them
cold enough to contract and perhaps
rupture the joint. One way to cir
cumvent this possibility would be to
cool the edges of each section with
carbon dioxide SNOW or some other
freezing agent just before they are

Boulder Dam to Haze Greatest
Unit for Production of PO,Uer
Some accessories Are So Huge Special
Plants Are Built on Site-Project i.
Due for Completion in 1898.

AS ranking engineering project of
the Federal vernment-exceeded in
cost only by the Panama Canal -
Boulder Dam will be resplendent with
superlatives when complete. 1t will
have the highest dam (723 feet) that
will store up the greatest artificial
lake Q15 miles long,, which, in turn,
will furnish water for the greatest in
stallation of hydroelectric power ma
chinery ever put down in a single
unit.
Besides Boulder Dams apparent
benefits to the Southwest, it is not
generally realized that the construc-
ton is helping industry. not only in
the West, but in the East; that 40
per cent of the money being ex-
pended for the materials and the
many items to be used on the project
is being spent east of the Mississippi
River.
Some of these accessories. like the
turbine wheels and electrical genera
tors, can be built in the East and
shipped to the scene of installation.
Others are SO huge that they must be
fabricated on the plateau through
which the Colorado River has cut its
deep gorge. Thus in the canyon is
the worlds largest refrigerating plant,
whose function it is to cool the con-
crete in the dam after pouring, and
SO shrink" it to its final size before
a drop of water strikes against it.
New Problems Presented.
And on the desert plateau above
the dam is great plant for making
the worlds largest pipe-30 feet in
diameter-which is to be used in de-

One can say that the pipes in the

diameter without realizing what that
means. To picture steel pipe of that
size it should be realized that a two
track railroad or subway could run
inside the pipe. Or that the Holland

TACTFUL GUIDANCE
URGED FOR YOUTH
Good Example by Parents
Advocated in Alcohol
"PrObIem."
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
Education and good example, rather
than disciplinary measures, are the
best safeguards which parents can
throw about the adolescent to prevent
indiscretion in the use of alcohol, &C
cording to Dr. Douglas A. Thorn, di-
rfector of Boston's Habit Clinic.
A recent book by DR.. Thorn was
quoted yesterday by the Children's
Bureau in a bulletin on guiding the
adolescent."
The book. while dealing with many
of the problems of adolescents," de-
MED there was an "adolescent prob
lem; held, rather, that modern youth
has managed itself with wisdom, de-
serving more respect, less criticism,
from adults.
Problem Is Fantasy"
It said:
ITO assume that every adolescent
boy or girl is drifting about in an
emotional whirlpool or may be dashed
on the shores of failure because of
some hidden conflict is nothing more
than an indulgence in fantasy.
There are a sufficient number of
problem people and problem Situa-
tions to demand the attention and
occupy the time of all those now
trained, or who may be adequately
trainind in the next decade, without
creating problems where they do not
exist"
Tact Is Necessary.
Parents were advised, as the years
pass, to think of their children less
in terms of care" and manage
ment," more in terms of "tactful
guidance" A whole chapter was de-
voted to needs of the parent" stress
ing chiefly the idea that they must
learn to be less dominant factors in
their children'S lives.
"The child wants to care for and
manage himself, and this is not only
desirable, but essential. if he is to
become a normal, healthy, independ-
ent adult" DR.. Thorn said.
Children of the present day. he
contended, are less dependent on their
parents than present-day parents
were on the generation which preceded
them.

DEATH ORDERED FOR 26
+ FINE CANADIAN HORSES
Discovery of Chambers in Royal
Dragon Stables, Brings Effort
to Prevent Spread.
By the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
ST. JOHNS, Quebec, March 90
Twenty-six of the finest horses in the
Royal Canadian Dragon stables are
to be put to death today with bullets
from a bull killer" an instrument
for the painless destruction OF ami
mails.
The horses, most of them polo
ponies and jumpers, were found by a
government inspector to be suffering
from glanders, a highly contagious
disease.
Veterinarians expressed hope they
had localized the epidemic, with seq
regation of the Royal Canadian
Dragon horses affected, and that
there would be no further spread.
