Tliat was all I'op h;ul to say, but Larry was fined and bt.nclied for a couple of days- The newspapers recorded Larry's insuborinution with some glee and much serious comment. Doc Hiers said that you couldn't l;eep the col- legiate grandstand play out of a fresh rookie's {^anie unless you bang- ed his head in first. What would I'op Clark do wtli ths seemingly brilliant but unreliable player? The Blues left Washington with only one game to their credit out of the three played. The writers said that the Blues were living up to ex- pectations and it was going to be just another year of the Blues' base- ball performance. The accidental winning of a few games had fallen ten years before. No hope was held for the Blues in their coming game against the Bos- ton Indians at Bcston. Terry went to Boston on the night train before the first game. He wanted to be there curly and get the lay of the land. He had an early lunch and when he saw several of the players starting for the field, he tftnlded to go out himself anJ watch the Indians warm up. He was i.'oss- ing the lobby of the hotel when he spied Doyle Bitting alone in one of the big armchairs in the lobby. He wasn't sure, but he thought Doyle had smiled at him in recognition. Curious, if true. He was inclined to go back, but could not be (juite sure what Doyle's smile might mean. Did he smile in recognition or did the smile mean that Doyle was rather lati.sfied with the beating he had given Terry down at Tony's? Terry knew that Frances Clark and Sid Kcynolds, the Brooklyn sports writer, would be coming in immediately anyhow. He had seen them in the dining-room; they v.ere having des.scrt an I coffee when he left. Terry lingered just iiisid..- me lobby until all tlio players had l»S"t. The doorman gave them the pri-fer- ence, anyhow, and he had .ilenty of time, ''rom the corner of his eye he saw Frances and lloynolds jiass Doyle with just a nod of rocc^nition. Ten minute.s later he wu.-i on his way. His cab wa.s racing along a street which had been deeply ditched for a sewer «i- some work of that Bort. 'I'hcre was a great Ka|)inK note on the right-hand side of the load. The brakes of the cal) weie jarMme<l on .suddenly and for one sickeninjr moment Teny fell the cab sway and then come to a dciid stop. Theie was a terrific traffic jam on ahead, with people running e.\citodly about. "."Vlust have been an accident," the driver .saiil and started backing up while Terry dun;; to the side of the car in terror a.s the rear wheels seem- ed to sag over the edge of the o Icli. The cab swung across the traffic and was blocked by oncoming cars. "Damn!" liio driver exploded. '"I'hey've got me hemincd in now, boss. I can't got out!" â- 'It may clear up in a minute," Terry suggested hopefully. EA.THON THE iAMOND BY CORTLAND FlTZ5IMMON5V\X- •5 I "Naw. There's a wrecker, an am- bulance and a police car up there. Was you goin' to the game? It's only a couple of blocks away it you want to walk it." Terry paid his faro and sta.-ted ahead. He reached a line of curious spectators who *ore watching a wrecker lift a ta.xicab out of the ditch. Terry tried to press on, but was stopped by a husky policeman. Terry showed him his newspaper card. "Well, can't you tell a follow what happened?" "Sure. A taxicab went into the ditch." "Anybody hurt?" the man neit to Terry asked. "Now, how would 1 know? An. I up there? You can see as much as I can. If your car ran into the ditch, don't you think maybe you would be hurt a little?" The crowd grinned at the cop's speech. Terry, with a momentary shiver as he remembered his own cab sway- ing to a halt beside the ditch, sidled along the line which the police were holding back. The t'ab was pulled free from the ditch ana the horrible work of {aking out the victims be- gun. The front of the car was badly smashed in, the top was pretsed down over the driver's .seat and the tUits were buckled. They pulled the driver out first and then a blow- torch was used on the hinges of the door and the other occupants i-ere lifted out to the street. Terry looked at his watch. There was still plenty of time, but he hated being held up. Across the str»it from the wreck a new building was going up. Terry worked his way Into the building, picking his steps care- fully 80 as to avoid falling into the cellar. In the rear of wnat would be the first floor of the building, they were pouring the concrete floor. The workmen were all out on the street edge looking at the accident; that is, all but one of the workers, and Terry wondered why he, of all men, should show such a lax of interest. He was ramming something under the con- crete mixture and Terry supposed it was one of the steel reinforcing rods which arc used for that purpose. Terry'.s precarious path led him to- ward the solitary worker, who looked up startled when Te-^jy'.s step on a board dislodged something that clat- tered into the cellar below. "I'm not used to this," Terry said and grinned. ' Dui it is the only way I can get round the police. I want tu (ict to the game." The man said nothing, bent his head and went on smoothing the cement. For a moment Terry con- sidered and then went on. That man had seemed vaguely familiar. There was something about him and yet he was obviously an Italian, and to Terry all Italians of the slim, dark type with bu.shy brows looked alike. It was a corner building which he had crossed and he made the street away from the accident, walked round the blrck and reached the field in about five minutes.

Metal Is Found Between Stars Scientists Say Titaniuna, Common On Earth, Is Also in Space WASHINGTON. â€" Discovery of titanium, a common metal of the earth, in the almost complete vac- uum between .-tars wus announced recently bv the Canu-i<ie Institu- tion. Astronomers of th; institution's observatoiy at Mount Wilson, Calif., reported that with I'ne aid of the nighty 100-inch teles'opo and spec- tograms â€" photographs of the rain- i.ows of light cast by st.ulight fall- ing through a prism â€" they had .di-ritified the element in the vast di"s>f cloud.^ ot the neT.iUv* f Orion, one of the great star systems. The discovery was declared by olhir astronomers to disprove fur- tlf-r the old theory Ihst the sp8;'e between stars was completely empty, pHviously the element.* calcium and .'ocium had been discovered betweeri sti,rs.

Offers Solution To Unemployment Doctor Suggests Men Go School Until Thirty To SYDNEY, .NI.S.W. â€" School till the age of 30 and marriage at 50 may be the design for living for the average man of the future, accord- ing to Dr. Edgar Booth, lecturer in physics at Sydney University. "Science has so arranged mat- ters," he says, "that grandather now stays on and manages the business â€" and draws the manager's salary â€" so tha; his grandson cannot afford to marry and his nephew cannot get employirent. "We might decide later that grand- father, even if in private and not Government business, must go and play bowls or spend his time in mo- tor cycle racing, if he prefers It, af- ter reaching 60; or we might decide that the future grandfather, having heen promised and by then, practic- ally guaranteed a healthy virile life to the age of CO, might equally be guaranteed a compulsory but pain- less departure from that existence at that age. "There are obvious objections to thi.s, particularly from grandfather, who controls the money and, con- sequently, the situation." Dr. Booth offered a suggestion for the solution of the problem in the production by scientists of a tonic, or «ict, or perhaps a small operation that would make grandson content to be still a schoolboy at 33 and to defer the responsibilities of marriage until he is t>0.

Smallest Crop In Eleven Years Ask for Production of Wheat Down 73,000,000 Bushels TORONTO.â€" World production of wheat in the 1930-37 season bids fair to be the smallert in 11 years, ac- cording to a semi-annual world wheat review contained in the Canadian Bank of Commerce's montly commer- cial letter, released recently. Including current estimates for the partly harvested southern hemisphere crops, the world, except Russia and China, is expected to yield a crop of 3,481,000,000 bushels, or 73,000,000 less than the 1935-3r) harvest. The size of the northern hcmis- crops is now fairly well established, 43 countries reporting a total of 2,- 971,000,000 bushels, as compared with 3,140,000,000 a year ago. This de- cline in output was the result, not of a reduced acreage, but of intense heat ant. prolonged drought over the wheat belt of this continent and ex- cessive rainfall and rust in south- western Europe and North Africa. After a good start, the condition of Canadian and United States wheat this year deteriorates steadily in June and July drought proved dis- astrous to large sections, particularly in southern and western Saskatche- wan and southern Alberta, where the drought was the worst on record. Salada Brown Label m "SALAM TEA Home Hints By LAURA KNIGHT Points to Women StiU Worse Off Mrs. Roosevelt Seeks Aid For Rural Women NEW YORK â€" Women of New York's least privileged groups were urged by Mrs. F. D. Roosevelt to "stretch their horiion" to include an even worse situation â€" the "under- privileged of rural communities." The wife of the president was talking to a group of Mothers' Clubs in Gotham's East Side. Hitherto she had confined such addreBses To more leisured and wealthy groups. Mrs. Roosevelt began by telling mothers about "rural slums" in West Virginia where no free clinic was available and a child hac to have a tonsilitis operation in a garage. "I know you here in New Y'ork do not know much about farm con- ditions," she said, "but they matter to you just as much as to any one because your children and the chil- dren from those farms are going to work together to make the United States ot the future. "You women must educate your- selves in conditions in other parts of the country, and be ready to back up the Government's measures that effect the whole nation. "You here, of course, are espec- ially interested in better housing, and if poor housing ever becomes a thing of the past it will be because everybody knows what he is talking about.

Using Left-Overs in New Ways Left-overs from the Christmas din- ner becomes very tiresome after a day or two and so many of the Christmas goodies are very rich and even the best digestions in the fam- ily can't stand them for too long. But there's the turkey, the cran- berry sauce and that end of plum pudding that must not be wasted. Here are some suggestions for us- ing them so that they have an en- tirely new character and their rich- ness is offset by the ingredients used with them in their new forms. For instance there's still lots of tender sweet meat left on the turkey but you are all heartily sick of cold turkey and it's as much as your life is worth to mention "turkey hash", but here's a new way to bring it to the table that will delight everyone. By making a loaf roast it will look and taste so different that the family will forget that it came from a Christmas "bird". Turkey Meat Roast Loaf 4 tablespoons minute tapioca, \ii teaspoon salt, dash of cayenne, dash of black pepper, 1 teaspoon Worces- tershire sauce, 1 teaspoon minced onion, 1 tablespoon minced parsley, 3'/^ cups cooked turkey, 3-4 cup to- mato juice or meat broth, Vi cup hot water, 2 tablespoons butter.
