American Burma Road
Traced FOR Travellers

\ TTENTION is focused on
"A that longest of all high
ways the Inter-American or
Pan-American highway-extend-
ing from Alaska to the far end
of South America. a distance
five times as great as the dis
lance across the United States.
Relatively few people will
travel the entire length Of the
highway, just as few people in
the United States travel from
coast to coast. The short haul"
will be important. That is true
also from a practical military
defense standpoint on this so
called Burma road" of the
western hemisphere.
From Fairbanks, Alaska, to
the northern border of the
United States, not much prog
ress has been made during the
past 10 years. Even the route
is undetermined. One branch
will probably parallel the coast,
although it may be inland, to
Vancouver, B. G. Another easier
route under consideration passes
through Alberta, east of the
Rocky Mountains.

The extent to which war con-
ditions have set up internal
stresses in Vancouver's CONNER
cial and professional economy is
indicated In figures which the
Vancouver Sun just obtained
from the city hall.
Mars is blamed, for instance,
for the fact that there are
fewer professional men in prac-
tice now than last year. The
armed forces have recruited the
experts along with the artisans
and the unskilled.
BY the same token, there are
10 more licensed beauty par
lors, perhaps because tn e
women are earning more money
in the jobs vacated by men, or
perhaps because the compete
ton IS keener now that many
thousands of young fellows have
gone overseas. 1t could be that
these reasons explain increase
in ladies' wear shops from 157
on Sept. 80, 1910, to TIA at the
same date this year.
Business Booming
And the extra facilities for
giving milady a well-groomed
appearance may account for an
upsurge in the jewelry trade
(gifts and rings!) from 50
shops to SO.
The census something like
$4,000 will give the accurate
statistics on the presumed
growth of Vancouver's popula-
ton, but clues are seen in the
issuance of LAB apartment
house licenses by comparison
with 1874, and 1879 lodging
houses by comparison with 1,759.
Vancouver folk wonder If the
income tax is responsible for
less instalment purchasing and
greater difficulty in collecting
old accounts, or is II only a CO.
incidence that financing agents
are down in number from 10 to
IS, while collection agencies are
UP from seven to eight.

The figures indicate that is

Detailed Instructions.
The tailor cut and sewed. Then
Power did some groaning. He had
to fit each of those costumes. And

two copies of suit he had to fight

a seam before the scene was fin
ished. There were six copies Of a
suit he had to swim in-juSt in case
the first few shots were no good.
Then two books are made for
! the wardrobe master. Power was
photographed in each costume.
That made one book. Then de-
tailed instructions were written on
each costume-so he'd show up in
| the same hat, for instance, in a
tavern scene. The scenes are shot
in such small pieces that. without
this check, you might see Power

Dom Due for Big Season
If He Escapes Droft

Dom undoubtedly is one Of the
finds of recent years. He will have
a better season this spring and
summer than he knew year ago
at his debut, if the draft doesn' I
nail him before the stretch is on.
Vincent hasn't been quite as hot
as Dom and Joe, but he still Is a
good ball player who has the con-
fidence of Frank FriSch.
The three Di MaggioS all are on
the quiet side. Joe wasn't quite
sure of himself when he joined the
Yankees, so far as social inter-
mingling was concerned. but he is
different today. He came in with
a terrific ballyhoo and for a spell
naturally was beWildered.
He has moved forward lot in
the last year or two. He still isn't
any human volcano. any cataclysmic
vocalist, but he is friendly and
cheerful and pleasant.
He has found out where his feet
belong-which is on the ground and
not up in the clouds.
Dominic, who wears glasses and
resembles a Harvard, Duke. North
Carolina, Auburn or Princeton
junior. is about the same type.
Temperament, as some one has
said, is the highbrow word for
ordinary, pure cussedness. The
Di Maggios are not afflicted in this
morbid respect

Aside From Hitting, Dom
At Leost Joe's EquoI

Joseph Paul Di Maggie, jr., the
Yankee entry, is the star of the
tribe. He is the best all-around
hitter in baseball.
But outside of his hitting he has
nothing on Dominic. the kid, who
can field and throw with any one in
the game. His Boston pals believe
that young Dominic has even a
shade on Joe in all-around outfield
play, but the Yankees won't agree.
At any rate, Dominic is just as
good.
Vincent is a stride or two back
of his younger brothers, but Frank
Frisch believes he has the chance
to crowd both at the bat.
So far Joe Di Maggio's single
weakness has been a bit on the
brittle side. In his five years with
the Yankees, up to 1941, he has
played in 1873 games, Isl games, l45
games, 100 games and l32 games,
which means he has missed "a
contests.
But in those five years Joe has
drawn a big league average Of
.343. which also includes 168 home
runs, and that doesn't embrace his
1941 start.
Young Dominic opened his first
major league season at 301 for the
Red Sox. He was then only %
years old. His San Francisco sup
porters believe he is a natural 800

Of Diamond History
By GRANTLAND RICE,

NEW YORK, May 7 NAN.A).
Who is the top family of baseball
for all time?
Years ago We had the Delehanty's
with us, headed by Big Ed, one Of
the greatest hitters of the game,
one of the two who hit for a matter
of four home runs and single in
a single game. Big Ed was backed
up by his brother. Jim, another
fine ball player and there were three
other Delehantys scattered over

But the five Delehantys Of other
years now must give way to the
Di Maggios-to the three brothers
who outrank in all-around playing
skill any other family in baseball
history.
They include Joe Di Maggie OF
the Yankees, Dominic Di Maggie OF
the Red Sox and Vincent Di Maggie
of the Pirates.
Vincent, 29 is the oldest. Joe, 81
