THEY'RE GIANTS
There Is a collection OF young
giants, all six feet one inch or more
with Leins. at 215. being the light
est. There's material to work with
but Edwards tackles have TO pass
a stiff test.
Edwards requires two types OF
tackles for his system-he calls
them outside and inside tackles,
"The outside tackle i like To
be very fast, fast enough to lead
the backs II necessary" says the
Lions boss. "He must be very
aggressive on defense and play
left tackle, because tho largest
percentage Of plays come that
way. 1 should say that a man

very fast In ideal.
Fred VanLo, for instance Il
about what I'd like, but we have
10 keep him as a blocking back.
We could use lots like him.
MUST BE BLOCKER
"The inside tackle must be
good offensive blocker, with ex-
cellent coordination. He has To
he able 10 handle himself and
his opponent, but he doesn't
have 10 he as fast as the outside
tackle. He can be one OF those
big beefy giants. He doesn't
have to be so aggressive either,
because the weak side tackles
are the ones they always try 10
mousetrap. Ii he doesn't rush
in. he won't get clipped. It's
just up TO him TO hold his ground,
cover for reverse plays"
Has Edwards any OF these play.
ers now? He has ideas, but he
isn't yet ready TO commit himself
needs a few more days.
Right now I'm just watching
them for their action, co-ordina-
ton, speed and so on. I'll learn
more later when we go into
blocking and start scrimmage.
Edwards doesn't appear TO have
many worries with the backs,
real hot-footing crew with Cotton
Price, Vanzo. Dick Booth. Bill
jefferson and Harry Hopp among
the present sure-pop Lions and
with Whizzer White. Milt PiepuI
and a couple others coming in.

Hinkle OF the Packers-put the
brakes on Tuffy Leemans of the
New York Giants and the skids
under the redoubtable Johnny
Drake of Cleveland's Rams!
Try and do it? Well that's just
what Bill Edwards and his aide
Roy Miller. the Detroit Lions
coaches plan to do. And they're
right in there pitching now on the
third day Of the Lions practice at
Cranbrook School.
WATCHES TACKLES
There are beautiful surround
ings at Cranbrook. a peaceful syl-
van atmosphere blending with a
clustered quiet which was mas
terfully produced by eight million
dollars or so. But Bill Edwards
has eyes for none of that as he
watches his sweating, husky tack
les wheel and cut back. pull out 10

group OF rampaging backs.
Edwards has 10 find a pair OF
tackles TO keep this ball club in

SIGNS OF CRACKING

remnants have been won with
out southpaws but such winners
had tremendously powerful corps
of right handlers. And the Dodger
right while good, are by
no means overpowering. In fact,
Whitlow Wyatt. the ace OF the
bunch. has shown deciding signs
of cracking.
Wyatt lasted less than one heat
against the Giants while old Hub
staggered through for his tenth
victory, largely abetted by his
roommate, Mel OFT, who drove in
six runs with his twentieth and
twenty-first homers. Melton COM
pletely handcuffed the Dodgers in
the nightcap, holding them 10
three singles, and was never in
danger.
Meanwhile the Cardinals were
moving a game and half in front
OF the Dodgers by coming from
behind TO trim the Cubs. 81. The
Cards own pitching hasn't been
too good lately but they have a
happy faculty Of pulling games out
of the fire in the late innings as
they did against Bill Lee in the
eighth yesterday.
Over on the other wheel the
Yanks got going in the right di-
rection again by banking the Red
Sox. 40, behind Spud Chambers
six-hit job. and increased their
margin TO Il games over the In
dams, who split a pair with the
Tigers.
Two home runs by Buddy Lewis,
good for five runs. gave Dutch
Leonard and the Senators an easy
decision over the Mackmen. SO,
and the Browns and White Sox
battled IA innings TO a SO draw
before darkness h allied the
proceedings.

Ace Trouble
Gets Hole-in-One but Has
a Time Proving IL

T. Barr Of 1878 Birwood made
hole-in-one at Worthwhile Golf
Club yesterday, but he had quite
a time proving it 10 the satisfac-
ton of the clubs attendants.
Barr. playing alone, used an No.
8 iron to ace the 130-yard fourth
hole when his ball lauded in front
Of the cup and hoped in. T. G..
Stackpole and c. P. Spartan, on
the adjacent ninth tee, witnessed
the feat.
They signed Barr's score card to
attest il. but when he returned
TO the clubhouse. Barr discovered
he'd lost the card. An hours
search was successful and every
thing was made official.

Ten Year Building Peak
Reached in u. 6. Cities

New home construction in $40
leading American cities in 1899 to-
tailed the highest in value and vol
ume in 10 years, according to the an
nual national home building survey
OF Investors Syndicate recently
made public.
Volume Of new homes last year
was more than 10 times 900 the
1884 total, the low for the decade, -
explained c. J. Ryan of the com
pany.
Value of these new residences
was almost 10 times (9.8) the low
total hit in 1884"
Contributing substantially to these
record breaking figures was the
smallness of the advance, only four
hfths of ! per cent, in average cost
per person provided with new hous-
ing over the preceding year.
Rapidly of residential construc-
ton last year, the fifth successive
year to record gains, is empha-
sized" said Ryan, "by the fact that
both value and volume increase
were the largest year to year rise
during the decade.
The cities included in the survey,
located in II states and the District
OF Columbia, have a population, &C.
cording to the 1910 preliminary esti-
mate of the United States bureau of
census, of 40, l34, 7O5, or 37.4 per cent
of the population of the United
States.
This group includes the 90 cities
with a population of 100, 900 or more.
New home building in these 80
American cities in 1889 provided
housing for 867, 664 people.
This was a gain of 202, 032 people.
or 30.4 per cent, over the 665, 632
newly housed in these same cities in
1893.
New residential construction last
year In these same cities provided
for 81 per cent more people than
N 1880, when only SIG, 1872 were new
y sheltered. ...>~,

Humming Bird Can Stand
Still in Air. Seconds

The only creature that can stand
still in the air with about SIS wing
strokes a second, take off from a
perch in seven-hundredths of a Sec
ond, and fly backwards is the ruby
throated humming bird. Although
its apparent maneuvers in reverse
have been disputed repeatedly, re-
cent photographs have established
proof of this flight phenomenon.
The Smithsonian institution re-
Gently put the humming bird under
q microscope, so to speak, when the
organization DR.. Winsor M. Tyler
went into gardens, woodlands, and
other habitats to study this tiny
creature. The adult is about the
size of small thumb and at birth
no larger than a black-eyed pea.
The babies are natures nudist col
ony, being born completely naked.
Although blind at birth, they grow so
fast that in less than two weeks
they possess all their faculties, are
almost as large as their parents
and leave the nest.
The Smithsonian institution also
discovered that humming birds are
the Stuka bombers of Nature-they
attack much larger birds in a form
of olive bombing" Their unusual
dexterity of flight enables them to
win victories over relatively power
full winged creatures, the hummers
attacking their foes in 'blitzkriegs."
And yet, despite such valor and vic
tory in flight battles, the hummers,
themselves, may become completely
ensnared in a SPIDERS web, hope
lessly impaled on thorns, or stuck
fast to thistles or milkweeds. There
was one instance of a small dragon
fly attacking and conquering hum
mer.
The humming bird, recent scien-
tifc studies reveal, is a confirmed
bachelor. The males and females
migrate separately and remain
aloof except for brief mating pc
RODS. Flights northward are timed
with clocklike precision They often
arrive the very day their favorite
flowers appear.

Sweet Potato in Bombs

The southern sweet potato, al
ready being used in starch manu-
facture, could also be pressed into
service as source of cellulose for
manufacturing bombs, hand gre
nades and other high explosives if
America were involved in war.
This was revealed by Gilbert c.
Wilson, instructor in chemurgy at
North Texas State Teachers col
lege
Wilson said yams are used in Ger
many and Japan for manufacture of
slow explosives, and that starch can
also De used for manufacture of
nltro-starch for shattering explo-
slves such as hand grenades.

Births to Poorer People
Not Alarming to Nation

There is no cause for alarm over
the fact that the so-called under
privileged economic classes in the
United States are producing large
proportion of the babies, accord
ing to DR.. Constantine PanunZio, as
sistant professor of sociology at the
University of California at Los An
geles, an expert on population
trends.
The Westwood professor recalls
the birth figures of 1929, prosper
ity year, when fully one-third of the
100000 babies born came from
families whose total income was
less than $3.50 per year; and the fig
ures of l930-35 when SIS per cent of
the natural increase was contribut-
ed by those in ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
pally low-paid agricultural workers.
Low income, unskilled occupa-
ton and low educational status do
not necessarily mean biological or
other kinds of inferiority," DR.. Pa
nunzio says. THE common people
of the nation have at all times con-
tributed large proportion of the
leadership of the country.
UNLESS We are willing to claim
or admit that the population of this
country is as a whole an inferior
type or that its leadership is poor,
we are forced to conclude that the
lowly classes are contributing much
to the population. In fact, if it were
not for them the professional and
other so-called upper classes would
become a constantly diminishing
segment of the population.

NabS Skunk by Tail

Mrs. Ted Fraser of Elm Creek,
Neb., can sympathize with the man
who got the bear by the tail. When
she caught a skunk in her chicken
house, knowing skunk cannot func-
ton as such when his tail is held
captive, she grabbed him by it,
swung him boldly aloft and started
in search of her husband. She
couldn't find him. Realizing what
would happen if she let 60, she shift
ed him hand to hand until her arms
tired. Finally finding a length of
bailing wire, she twisted it around
the skunk's tail, suspended him
from a fence, got gun and shot
him.
