missioner John c. Paige spoke brief
ly, outlining the part played by
the bureau of reclamation in con-
struction of the dam and canal.
Paige introduced Secretary Ickes.
The secretary reviewed the history
of Imperial Valleys struggle for
security against flood and drought,
paying tribute to the pioneers who
brought water to the desert, and
to those who dreamed of the All
American canal and worked to make
it a reality.
Whir of Machinery
Then Secretary Ickes pressed
control button in the small tower
where he was stationed with his
party. A scarcely audible Whir OF
machinery heralded the opening of
roller gates feeding four channels.
Into each of the runWays poured
stream, not more than six inches
deep. Rapidly the water spread
toward the six deSilting basins a
hundred yards downstream.
Newspaper and moving picture
cameramen scurried along the banks
with the hurrying crowd, recording
the event.
The stream grew in size, and in
moment was courSing into the
desilting basins, where great ro-
tating fins were in motion, SLOW
ly revolving to take the silt from
the Colorados water. In half an
hour the basins were filled, and
sheets of white water slipped over
the aprons into the All American
canal.
For several mics downstream the
growing current swept surface dust
before, bent small trees in its path
and hurried on toward Pilot Knob
As the spectators left, and Secre-
tary Ickes departed with his party
to Yuma and a waiting train, rec
lamation bureau engineers again
closed the great roller gates-but
only for a while. Soon they will
open again to fill the canal to its

Of Winning Talent IL, Minors

Weiss is doing the best job in the bus
mess of supplying repla acements.
AS proof, it is necessary to look no
further than Joe Gordon, who stepped
from Newark into the second base spot
for the Yankees this season and has
played the position better than had
Tony LazZeri for four or five previous
campaigns.
Never Played Baseball.
There's no end in sight The great
Newark Club that overwhelmed all op-
position last year was torn apart
Even its manager. Oscar Witt, got a
bigger job with Cleveland Yet Weiss
calmly reached out here and there
and put together another team, and
many observers think the present New
ark lineup could finish we'll up In
either big league race.
Like many successful baseball OIL
cials, Weiss never could play q lick
himself. He got his start as manager
OF a semi-pro team at New Haven,
Conn, and later managed the New
Haven club in the Eastern League,
where he won three pennants. In 1929
he became general manager of the
Baltimore Club in the International
and in 1882 was beckoned by Col. Rup-
pert to Newark. The colonel never has
regretted it.

Drawing upon every available in

berg. This is not pennant-winning
combination, and so far 1t hasn't
proved to be even an adequate one.
Piet really is a second baseman and
Christman third-sacker.
All along the Tigers pitching hasn't
been good 1t has been about on 4
par with that of the Mats, which, of
course, is only slightly better than un-
pardonable. So until the Tigers get
back home and the GrifTs hit the road,
the fight for fourth place may be
something less than sensational.
The recent performances Of Apple
ton have been worthy OF note. Pietro
opened the season as q relief pitcher
and, as such, he was a tremendous
help. His fast ball was too swift for
the hitters early in the season and
his curve ball was cracking of sharply.
Pete didn't maintain his pace. He
ran into stormy weather and Manager
Bucky Harris got to calling for him
less and less. He practically became
the Forgotten Man until the Mats
last invasion of Boston. when Harris,
desperately needing a starting pitcher,
busted off OF Pete.
Appleton responded with a 5-to-4
victory, giving up 10 scattered hits
and winning when the Griffs staged a
three-run rally for him in the ninth
inning. He wasn't spectacular, but he
won, and Harris thought he earned
another chance off that effort.
So Pete went out there yesterday

Henderson daily dispatch., 1938-12-21

The typical example of the effects
of cold on the feet is chilblains. It
results from a previous mild FROST
bite and involves usually the heel
or the toes. When again exposed to
cold, the part becomes congested,
and on being warmed there is itch
ing, tingling and singing, with
swelling and redness. Sometimes
it becomes covered with blisters;
even liberation may occur. =,
The best treatment of chilblains
is prevention. When they once have
occurred, they are certain to come
on again with exposure. Warm
stockings, loose shoes, no construct
ing carriers will help protect. Mitch
ell. an Australian surgeon, treats
chilblains on the principle of direct
elastic pressure. Thin pieces OF rub
Der, the weight of medium rubber
gloves, are used in strips to cover
the foot. The stocking is put on
over them. He claims that the con-
dition is relieved instantly.
If the chilblain has occurred, mild
rubbing, bathing in cool water and
alcohol are tried at first. Glyc-
erin. either alone or in combination
with boric acid, or tincture OK iodine
painted on the sore place, is Of great
value.
