Supercharging Diesels
Brings Gains in Power

Washington. - Supercharging of
giant Diesel engines on metorships
at sea offers two benefits for ma
rine commerce and naval vessels,
said E. D. Newell of the bureau of
engineering, Navy department, in
an address here at joint meeting
of the American Society of Mechan-
ical Engineers and the Society of
Automotive Engineers. .....
In naval ships, Mr.. Newell indi-
Gated, supercharging enables the
same engines to turn out valuable
extra power for special short time
operation in emergencies. In COM
mercial marine installation, super
charging permits motorship to
use smaller engines, thus having
more cargo space but obtaining the
same speed. Or the cargo space
can be kept the same and the speed
increased.
By supercharging Diesel engines
on the new streamlined railroad
trains, additional power gains have
been achieved which, in one case
have amounted to so per cent power
increase for continuous operation.
Mr.. Newell reviewed the use of
supercharging in Diesel engines for
aircraft and pointed out that such
supercharging not only permits
greater power for the size and
weight of engine but makes possible
engine performance at higher alti-
tudes where the air is rarefied.

World Series Test

The real answer should be writ
ten in the world series. If the Ma
tional league wins the event and re-
verses the trend that has given it
only three worlds championships in
the past ten years, credit will be
given to President Ford Frick for
his owl-like wisdom. If the Amer
lean league wins, there can't be
much said in the way of alibis and
most people will then concede that it
is the league and not the ball that is
responsible.
Some critics have insisted that in
voting for a change last December,
the National league clubs had come
to the conclusion that the ball the
Yankees were pounding was too
dangerous to continue in use. In
fairness to Mr.. Prick it should be
assumed that the National league
was trying to improve the game.
If you are a devotee of strategic
baseball, there isn't much argu-
ment about the ball being too live
ly. Strategic baseball-the sacrifice,
base stealing, moving the infeld in
to cut off a run at the plate, the
squeeze play, etc.-hasn't been

California Diamonds
Do Not Justify a Rush"

Washington. - Recent diamond
finds at Cherokee Flats, near Can't
no, Calf, do not justify any rush to
the area in search of easily-gotten
glittering stones" says DR.. r. A.
Foshag, curator of minerals at the
National museum here. eve re-
ceive at the museum one diamond
from the Cherokee Flats region ev-
cry three or four years. Perhaps
two hundred diamonds have been
found in California since the gold
rush days, the largest reported be-
ing about seven carats."
The Cherokee Flats diamonds, ex-
plains DR.. Foshag, are perfectly
good stones, their rarity, rather
than any defect in them, making
the placer gold deposits unprofit-
able as diamond mines. Near the
creeks is a dixie of serpentine rock
from which the diamonds are be-
ieved to have been freed by wealth
ering during many thousands of
years. Working this dixie for dia-
monds would cost much more in
labor than it could ever produce in
diamonds, he believes.

CHAPTER XIX

Pedro FACES looked with awe and
curiosity at the collecting of ESQ
teric instruments scattered around
the tent which La Perouse had had
erected on the beach for labora-
tory.

Conde," he said with twinkle, "but
these look strange to me. I have
not found such things necessary in
my study of this country and peo-

The French scientist Strengthened
up from the microscope into which
he had been peering, and laughed
as he stretched himself. His place
at the instrument was Immediately
taken by a pale lank-haired scholar
who adjusted it to his sight with

Art Work Helps in
the Building Up of
Mental Health
By MARJORIE VAN DE WATER

By MARJORIE VAN DE WATER
New York. = Paintings OF
modern schools of art and those
by the mentally deranged are
likely to be repulsive to many
judging their aesthetic merit.
But such artistic presentations
have their value nevertheless. To
the psychiatrist, for example, the
aesthetic qualities of painting
may be of least Importance.
The physician of sick minds has
come to realize that through the
medium of brush and canvas, tor
tured soul can find release for his
emotions, a lessening of tensions
and anxieties and a bridge for the
unreal realm of his imaginings to
reality. .-.. ....
And a naughty boy who draws in
the back of his geography carica-
ture of his stern teacher let's off
steam which otherwise might result
in an emotional explosion.
Children treated by psychiatrists
for emotional disorders are encour-
aged to make such drawings of
teacher and parent, because they
not only relieve their minds but also
reveal to the psychiatrist the young
sters' individual worries and sup
pressed troubles.
Size, Design and Color.
DR.. Edward Liss, New York
physician, tells in the American
Journal of Orthopsychiatry what
the psychiatrist looks for as signifi-
cant in the paintings of children
and adults.
In the first place, size is signifi-
cant as revealing inner attitudes. It
is related to the individuals evalua-
ton of his own ego.
Next the design or pattern is i'm
portant. Good technique in all kinds
of art is the result of a certain
balance between natural impulses
and certain censoring agents which
tend to bring them within approved
limits or patterns. The more fixed
the pattern, the more geometric
the designs, the greater are the re-
pressions within the individual.
Color choice is important. Brown
and black, for example, are asso-
ciated particularly with deep un-
conscious components of a depres-
sive nature, DR.. Liss has found.
Finally the finished work is inter-
preted in much the same way that
dreams are analysed. Preference
for some subjects and evasion OF
others indicates to the trained
student the emotional impasses and
fixation points of the artist.

Fire Ants Destroy Quail
i'm Southeastern States

Baltimore.-Enemies of quail are
usually thought of in terms of foxes,
rats, occasionally owls. But in the
quail territory of the Southeast a
species of ant, the fire ant, has to
be taken into the reckoning as an
important cause of quail life de-
struction, reported Bernard ".
Travis of the bureau of entomology
and plant quarantine, United States
Department of Agriculture, speak
ing here before the annual North
American Wildlife conference.
These ferocious swarming insects
attack the eggs as soon as they have
been pipped, or the newly Matched
quail chicks while they are still
helpless. The voracious insects kill
from to 16 per cent of the quail
hatch each year. They are also
serious enemies of citrus fruit trees.
It is very difficult to combat these
ants. They detect even small con-
centrations of poison in bats, and
fumigants are costly. Dry sodium
cyanide seems to be the most prom

Olympic Problems

7 INCLE SANS monopoly of lead
~ ership in the track and field
events of the Olympic games seems
definitely menaced so far as the
1910 Olympiad is concerned. By
booking the games in far-off Japan
and on dates when our best ath-
letes will be unable to compete, the
rest of the world has found a way
to beat us.
Not since the games were revived
many years ago has the United
States been defeated in track and
field sections. But by scheduling
such events in October, when col
lege athletes obviously should be
attending classes, the Olympic man.
aging committee is in effect offer
ing the track and field champion
ships to some other country.
The United States has two alter
natives-frst, not to send a team
to the 1910 Olympics; second to in
duce the universities of this country
to release star athletes long enough
for them to compete in Japan and
let them make up their lost studies
later. Since Britain and several 9TH
er countries have stated they will
not send teams to Japan, the first
alternative would be relatively
easy. Fulfllment of the second
would be tougher. Academic sched-
ules are sacred cows in American
universities. They could not easily
be disturbed in order to head Ger
many, Italy and Japan off from
winning track and field events.
Moreover, many of the crack COL
lege athletes are wanted for foot
ball service by coaches.
A few years back the complica-
tons Of the present Olympic SEIZED
ule would not have embarrassed
Uncle Sam at all. He could still
have left his college athletes home
and won the track and field events
handily. That is no longer true.

Harridge Doubts

Mr.. Will Harridge, president Of
the American league, has some hon
est doubts about what happens
when you begin tinkering with base
balls.
"When you change the ball it's
hard to tell what results you'll get"
he says. "For instance, we had
three experts appear at meeting
of the board of directors of the
league to explain how they might
deaden the ball a trif1e. One said
the only way to do it was to cut
down the size of the cork center. The
second said it would have to be done
with the wool, the yarn winding.
The third said the only way to get
any change was to use different
cover.
eff the experts who make the
ball differ like that, how could we
know what the results OF changing
the ball would be? It's an expert
ment and there won't be an answer
until a full seasons trial has been
made"
The consensus Of opinion among
baseball men is that if there is any
vast amount of difference between
the dead and lively ball, the former
won't bother the players who have
the eyes and the power to knock
one over the wall. A good hitter
will adjust himself so that his bat
ting average won't be damaged.
If the dead ball assists the pitch
ers in improving their perform
ances, the only fellows who will
really be hurt are those who really
aren't first class batsmen. The bar
gain home run is something that
should not belong in major league
baseball. If the so-called dead ball
helps eliminate it, at least one i'm
provement can be recorded to its
credit.
The difficulty in distinguishing the
difference between the dead and
| lively ball was illustrated by what
happened at the Chicago Cubs train
ing camp this spring. In the early
days of the camp, leftover balls OF
the 1887 vintage were used first.
Then the 1888 models were brought
out. Somehow the two vintages be-
came mixed. All the oldtime play
ers, coaches and newspaper men
went into a huddle. But they
couldn't tell one ball from the other
either by sight or touch. After a
couple of days all the balls on the
field had been used up. Then only
1888 balls were used. The hitting
didn't subside, but the pitchers, pro-
tected by the fact they weren't bear
ing down, felt they could get better
ZIP on the new ball.

Speaking Of Sports
Lively VS.. Dead
Ball Is Riddle
of 1888 Season
BY GEORGE A. BARCLAY

BY GEORGE A. BARCLAY
IND the National league put
- itself out on a limb when
it adopted the deader ball for
the 1888 season - while the
American league voted to con-
tinue the lively one?
That question will come in for
plenty of attention from now until
the end of the world series next Oc-
tober. 1t has already had a good
deal of newspaper space. But no
one is really certain there is a rad
ical difference between the dead and
so-called lively ball.
Government scientists have taken
samples of each, shot them out of
catapult-like machines and record
ed their findings. Sluggers from
both major leagues have tried their
bats on both dead and lively balls.
The results are still a question

The two men strolled away from
the tent, and the Governor rolled
La Perouse a cigarette from his

"You must give me some of these
to take with me-" he said. "Now
