Many Unidentified Minerals Are Sent in for Com

SAN FRANCISCO, Cal, April IT. A succession of rare mineral discov- cries in the West has scientists scratching their heads as to what they may mean in new wealth, new industries or value in time of war.
 Fifty-three new minerals have been discovered in California, Al of them never found elsewhere. New Jersey is the nations second greatest mineral museum strange rocks being associated with it's zinc ores.
 In 1870 gold prospector in Cali fcrnia stumbled on metacinnabar, which became leading source oi quicksilver and produced some great fortunes. In 1873, w. T. Cole man of San Francisco found the worlds greatest source of boraX out in the desert and named the deposit Colemanite. Now Kernite, discovered in 1927, has displaced 1t.
 Lured Away From Gold
 Walter w. Bradley, state min- eralogist, says many of the discov- cries may prove only of scientific interest. This seems to be the case with all those found since 1850.
 The fascination of geologlcal sidebnes has lured many pros pector from gold and silver. rake Charles D. Dorsey who works out Of Lovelock, New, where he has made and lost two fortunes in gold.

NO D0CHOUSE FOR BROWNS
 THIS SEASON
St. Louis Club to Try to Lick Old Defeat
 ist Attitude
By FELIX R. McKNEGHT

SAN ANTONIO, Tex, April T. The St. Louis Browns have been in the doghouse long enough.
 Sort of an annual statement, that, but the way bespectacled William o. Dewitt, vice-president of the base mant Brownies. puts it, you stop and listen.
 Why can't we hit the first di- vision?" queries Dewitt. The an- swer's easy-a defeatist attitude has had the club
 And what kind of a remedy do the Browns have for such an ugly attitude?
 Last fall we decided to follow one of two policies. Our first im- pulse was to tear down the whole club and start all over with young sters Then there was the idea We could maneuver around and get some seasoned ballplayers to plug our weak spots.
 We knew we had players other clubs wanted players that just couldn't perform in a Brown uni form We knew they were in de- mand and felt we could shop around and get seasoned players in return. We decided to sell no players for cash just to keep things going We started trading and buying = getting players who were accustomed to winning.
 Where we formerly had bunch of men who went out each after noon with the thought of holding down the score, we feel we now have which is a strange thing to us"
 Winning Pitchers
 Dewitt then plunged into the pitching staff-a little matter the fans have long felt was trifle more responsible for Brownie lapses than attitudes.
 Look at Buck Newsom, Jim Weaver. Ed Linke, Vito Tamulis some of our new blood They're winners and know they can win. The players have the same idea. Two holdovers from our last years last place club, Oral Hildebrand and Jack Knott, are good pitchers. They did we'll last season but got few runs to back up their efforts.
 "Six new faces will be in the starting lineup this year. Of 40 players now in training camp, only l2 were here last year. We're get ting rid of the gentlemen who lose ball games in their minds before the first batter is up.'
 A peek at the training camp. where Gabby Street, the baseball veteran of 38 years is starting his first year as St. Louis manager, almost makes you believe Dewitt has something.
 Stock Goes Up
 No grumbling, just lot of hus- tie Morning workouts are sched- uled for 10 o'clock. The squad is always suited out and on the field by 9:30.
 Street, of course, is highly en- thusiastic,' said Dewitt. He's a man who has won two National league pennants and World Series. He knows he has a last place club and has everything to gain by prodding them up the lad der"

GROWN NOW OPTIMISTIC

Given a Few Breaks, Bos- ton Will Be Tough
 Outfit, He Says
By DILLON GRAHAM Ap Eeafurc Servicc Writer

SARASOTA, Fla, April 7.-The old rocking chair has caught up With all maj league managers except Joe Cronin, the peppery Irishman who is needing the Red Sox for a surprise assault on the American league flag.
 And the 31-year-old Californian, in great shape after winter on the golf links, looks fit to do bit of fancy shortstopping for the Bostcns in his fourth season as skipper.
 Joe has bumped into some bitter disappoiniments since he went to Boston He thought that all the gilt-edged stars that Tom Yaw- keys old dollars bought would fetch bunch of pennants But he fcrg1t to figure on the element of onpcrament. Some of those aces didn'i see eye-to-eye with the others a touch of dissension appeared and the Red Hose Topped.
 The atmosphere has cleared this ssason and there's real pep and ginger a this Sarosota camp. Some of these stars aren't as young as 'hey used 10 be They're really working hard now to keep from slipping. Furthermore, Cronin has imported one of the finest collec- tions of rookie talent cavorting in Florida and the name" players know they've got their hands full 10 retain their jobs.
 Fcxx in Shape
 Lefty Grove, at 33, is the oldest ace pitcher in the loop And he looks great But he's got to go sometime. Hes always taken good care of himself and Cronin be- lieves he is good for another year or two. Jimmy Foxx, the belting apple-knocker, ran into bad slump last season and wound up with feeble .285 at bat But Jim my kept in trim during the cold months with frequent hunting trips and the boys say he's in bet ter condition than in several sea- sons.
 Lefty and Jimmy mus be right if the Bostons sparkle.
 And I think they're going to have good years" Cronin says I've never found Lefty as friend ly and full of life as he is this spring and Jimmys showing a lo of power with his stick
 Given few breaks Boston may push it's nose right up to the top. The infield is set with Foxx, Bobby Doerr, Cronin and Pinky Higgins. Doerr, the 20-year-old flash from the far west, saw some action last year and Joe thinks he's ready to go to town now.
 With Joe Vosmik, bartered from the Browns, Ben Chapman and Roger Cramer, Boston has crack outfield. And a line of rookie rein forcements is ready to move into the first row trenches. Ted Will Jams, Leo Nonnenkamp, Fabian Gaffke and Lindsay Deal are plenty

In the larger view, taking into

Shoe Dye Poisoning
By DR.. W. D. Brown

Recently a case of shoe dye
poisoning was reported locally. Oc-
casionally throughout the world
UGH odd cases arise. Since they
are preventable by means Of pub
icity of the known facts, it is well
that all should know about COM
bination of circumstances that
cause these deaths.
C. L.. Ferguson has studied this
problem and has collected the in
formation that we pass on. An
analysis of the dye shows the pres
ence, in most cases, of nitrobenzine
and aniline which are organic poi
sons. These poisons are absorbed
from freshly dyed shoes through
the skin of the feet without caus-
ing any local manifestation. They
pass inward and are absorbed into
the blood, changing the delicate
chemico-physical condition of the
blood. Due to this change the
blood becomes chocolate colored.
The hemog1obin is altered and
loses its power of carrying oxygen
to the tissues. The individual so
affected becomes cyanotic and he
develops symptoms of asphyxia
because the air necessary to life
cannot be absorbed into his system.
Death usually results. Children
seem to be unusually susceptible to
this poison.
Preventive measures are simple
and should be kept in mind; they
are:
l. Don't wear shoes within "a
hours after dye has been applied.
2. Keep recently dyed shoes out
of reach of children.
8. Air recently dyed shoes sew
eral days before wearing them.

the Congress and the Chief Execu-
tive, have labOred, though often
fruitIessly, to find a way back to
normally and safety. There has
been no departure from the prin-
ciple that no matter what the cost,
none must be allowed to suffer
from cold or hunger or go shelter
less. There has been much Of argu-
ment, often violent dissensiOn
among those whose duty and privi-
lege it is to decide the means by
which this should be accomplished.
There has been much of dissatis-
faction and admittedly some suffer
ing. but on the whole we may con-
clude that things could have been
wOrse-much worse.
Another hope of brighter fu-
ture inheres in the thought that
while the rest of the world has been
embroiled in war or in the prepare
tions for war the people of this
country have not only enjoyed
freedom from this scourge or the
dangers of it's preparation, but
have actually consolidated their
determination not to be drawn into
struggle with other nations save
in defense of their own land.
Even the Panay incident, fresh
in the minds of all, has not weak
ened the country's resolution to
suffer much rather than abandon
it's course of peaceful solution of
every difficulty pointing inexorably
to war as a remedy.
Coming now to consideration
of the fortunes of our own cOlOred

In addition we can find some very
valuable aids that we have gained
