Soon Got Acclimated.

NOV, ltS true tnat IN the 1rSt lew
days here our players we're forced
to stop and rest after running around
the park The high altitude affected
them. But this wore off in no time,
and we're now scclimated to put in
hustling days work with no after
effects beyond normal fatigue.
So beneficial has our visit been that
there isn't a sore arm or charley
horse in the camp. And when we
leave I'm positive We'll be in peak
shape.
I got here a week after the bat
terymen, due to business, and my first
glimpse of our pitchers was as big a
thrill as a camp trip can provide.
You'd think they had been III train
Ing a month!
Everybody knows pitchers is our
problem Well, after you've been
around as long as I have, you don't
get reckless when group of young
pitchers shows we'll in camp.
But I'm going to be mighty sur
prised if we can't have a strong staff.
Two new men from Atlanta make
me feel mighty frisky. Luther
Thomas and Almon Williams were
consistent winners last year and
played key parts in giving the Crack
ers the pennant.
Thomas is the finished article. He
knows what pitching Is about and has
can miss.
Williams Is Young Giant.
WILLIAMS is a young giant and has
great speed. His strength, speed
and spirit all make me believe he also
is ready for the big time right now.
Thomas won 13 games last year,
Williams IT. With these two and
George Caster, a pitcher we repos-
sessed after he won no fewer than %
games for Portland Pacific Coast
League champions we have three
prime 1887 prospects.
never saw a more improved pitch
er than Caster. He's with us to stay
nov.
We have two young left-handers
I'm banking on in Fred Archer and
Edgar Smith. Archer hasn't had
much experience, but looks like a
pitcher Smith is making his third
camp trip with me. Last year he won
II with Williamsport pa and you're
going to see that name in headlines.
Gumpert Greatly Improved.
A S FOR my other right-handers,
Randall Gumpert, the l9-year-
old schoolGoy, who was with us last
year, has proved himself. He's the
lad who was beaten, to 2, by Bob
Feller the afternoon Bob famed II
AS for a new league record.
Feller deserved every headline and
compliment he got-I've already rated
his feat as the greatest thrill of my
whole career-but the papers forgot
to mention Gumpert's work. Two
Cleveland runs were unearned and
Randall didn't walk man all after
noon.
Kelley, Ross, Turbeville, Fink and
Benton are back and doing good work.
And 1 only had to look at Earle
Brucker to be convinced I've added a
hArd-hitting catcher.
Watch Brucker. And between the
high altitude here and my high opti-
nlism I'm on the verge Of taking back
my mid-Winter prediction that the
AS would be last again in 1897. Let
three or four ifs work right, and!

 YOUNG SENATOR
Ex-Governor Bridges to Present Party's Views
 on Labor Sunday
(speciaI to The DemOcrat)

t0ueCl8l GO AHC OCmOCK8tD
 Washington, May 13-H. Styles Bridges, New Hampshire's republi- can member of the United States Senate, has been selected to pre- sent the viewpoint of his party on Labor, it was announced today. Senator Bridges will speak with John Hamilton, republican national chairman, and Representative Fran cis Case, of South Dakota, next Sunday night, May 16, from l0:0d to 1O:30 o'clock, Eastern Standard Time, over the network of the Col umbia Broadcasting Company.
 Senator Bridges, only 39 years old, is one of the three youngest mem- bers of the United States Senate. He has moved rapidly to a position of prominence in the republican ranks in the Senate. He is mem- Der of a number of important Sem ate committees, including the pow erful committee on appropriations and the committees on Military Af- fairs, Post Offices and Post Roads, District of Columbia, Interoceanic Canals, and Privileges and Elec- tions. He has recently been ap- pointed 8 member of the National Forest Reservation commission.
 Senator Bridges, long recognized as an outstanding leader of liberal and progressive thought, was Gov- ernor of New Hampshire and one of the youngest Chief Executives in the nation, prior to his election to the Senate last November. Since his election to the Senate, although very active in Senate affairs, he has found time to make a number of radio addresses on subjects of current national importance.

Much Installment Buying

An easing of European war ten sion, liquidation of foreign-oWned securities here and talk of gold price reduction are believed to have had an effect on the commodity mar kets, as well as administration ef- forts.
 But there is alarm over a big increase in instIalment selling. which reached $9,000,000,000 in 1886 as compared with only $6,OOO,OOO,OOO in 1929. This is huge pledge of future wages. There has been lag in retail buying and 8 piling up of stocks until inventories in the hands of retailers and finished goods pro- ducers also are higher than in 1929.
 Foreign economists think we're crazy to permit such big volume of installment buying" says a celebrated government economist.
 Higher retail prices are antici- pated by fall and the viewers with-alarm assert that the country is getting to the point where there will be a deficit in purchasing power. Then, they say, there will be more unemployment piled on top of the present large unemploy- ment-in the face of a $35,000,- 100000 national debt.
 "The only answer is to get prices down and wages up," says this group. "Now is the time to tax and balance the budget at a high level of spending"
 This advice may be bad. It comes, however, from persons from whom F. D. R. has been ac- cepting advice for several months. Can't Let Franco Lose
 Distillation of recent confidential advices re Spain, as received and interpreted by the War and State departments:
 MussoIini and Hitler have agreed that they shouldn't let
 General Franco lose, and even- tually they will see to it that he doesn't. Meanwhile, preferring not to repudiatc the non n-interventiOn agreement openly, they have urged Franco to get together all the troops now in Spain he can round up, and try to take Madrid without heavy foreign reinforce mentS.
 Hence the drive on Bilbao with the hope that sufficient troops and equipment can be withdrawn from the Basque front to make pos sible a successful assault on Ma drid.
 The tendency among diplomats and army men here now is to be- lieve that within a year the FaS- cistS will control all of Spain with the possible exception of Cata- lonia. Such predictions are based solely on the belief that Mussolini, worried about Italian prestige and probably with the more or less reluctant aid of Hitler, will insist on sending enough troops and ma terials into Spain to enable Franco to do the job.
 A stiffening of the British and French attitudes toward the rebels has been noted. But our diplomats have been given to understand that England plans to wait and if

Washington, May 13-The influ- ential administration group which has waged a preventive war against price imitation continues. off the record, to prophecy trouble.
 These viewers with alarm are encouraged by what they consider the healthy effect of several pres idential gestures and measures to discourage price increases. They believe that these and other fac- tors have checked speculative buying and kept down or lowered commodity prices. The price of copper, for instance, has declined and it is widely believed here that what was to have been another steel price increase has been headed off.
 Various White House advisers however, will continue to urge further action. It is likely that Roosevelt before long will move toward a reduction of certain tariff duties which would affect prices of protected products considered by economists here to me "out of line" In this connection, watch for news of the future of the copper import tax which will lapse in June unless something is done about 1t.

to use these flavorings in interest
ing ways if already at hand.
Crab Savory.-1 crab, 3 toma-'
toes, lettuce, watercress, l egg,
pepper and salt. Shred the crab
meat finely and mix with little
mayonnaise. Wash the lettuce and
arrange leaves around and at the
bottom of the dish. Place some
crab in the center, then season
with pepper and salt; add slices
of tomato and hard-boiled egg and
watercress.
Opening Jars.-A strap with a
buckle on one end can be used to
good advantage in opening glass
fruit Jars. Run the strap through
the buckle and tighten it around
the cap. This enables you to
get a good grip on the lid.
Small Mods for Pudding.-In
place of one large basin for
steamed pudding, try several
small molds, placing them all in
one large saucepan. They will
take half as long to cook as one
large pudding.
Spaghetti and Cheese.-A nice
way Of preparing spaghetti that
does not require lighting the oven.
Fry one chopped onion and one
half pound ground meat in olive
oil until nicely Drowned. Add two
cups tomato PURGE or sifted to-
mato pulp, one teaspoon paprika,
salt and pepper to taste. When
nicely blended serve over plain
boiled spaghetti and over the top
sprinkle finely grated cheese.
Preserving Bright Color.-Cook-
ing preserves or jelly rapidly
helps to retain the bright color of
the fruit. The addition of pectin
shortens the necessary cooking
time.

Bronze Used by Romans
\ W. in Their Early Plows

Plows used by the early Romans
had detachable pole, held TO the
beam by wooden pegs. The share
was dashed in place by thongs. The
outline of the forked tree remained,
but the tree itself has been re-
placed by separate parts fashioned
by craftsmen.
Later Romans applied to the pillow
their highly developed artistry in
bronze and iron, according to a
writer in the Rural New-Yorker.
These metals had been discovered
in the East some 1000 years ear
lier-the discovery Of bronze and
the invention of writing roughly CO.
incide and mark the beginning of
the historic period, only 5000 or
5000 years ago; iron came about
1000 years later than bronze. The
Romans made shares and mold
boards of metal and added wheel
from the warriors charlotte
control and regulate the depth of
blowing.
The ancient Spanish pillow shows
an early stage in the development
Of the modern moldboard. Until
the moldboard came the pillow mere
ly gashed the soil to permit the plac-
ing of seeds. Afterward it became
tillage implement also and took
on it's complex function of pulver-
izing, mixing, aerating and invert-
ing the earth, exposing it to the
weather and releasing new fertility.
The early English plows had
conical points that dug rather than
sheared through the soil. Such a
pillow was patented by Joseph Fol
jamie of Yorkshire in 1920. BY 1863
Scottish plows were made entirely
of metal the moldboard of cast
iron, the share, beam, handles and
coulter of cast iron. The share was
narrow and the turned furrow had an
inverted V-shape. The top of the
furrow was not crumbled and the
pillow was not required to pulverize
the soil. Seed, broadcast by hand,
rolled down into the grooves between
the tapping burrows, to be easily
covered by the drags or wooden
harrows that followed. This custom
set the standard for blowing in Eng
land and it is still popular there.
