Poor pitching has been the downfall of the Tigers for several years, in the opinion of observers. Next season. Detroit will start with the best string f hurlers,"of which the local outfit las boasted in a number, of years In speaking- of his team's prospects' Mr. Navin said: "We should have the best pitching staff in this history of the club. "Rio' Collins, whom we obtained from Bos ton for Howard Ehmke and other play- fi6, wm give us help where we need, it most. Sylvester Johnson, but nearly the entire season, due to injuries, un doubtedly will deliver.

Chicago's nation- il league baseball club is long on hampions. It claims to have the tall lit and shortest men in the major sagues and also the strongest player. Ernest Osborne, a pitcher, standing j feet fi 1-2 inches in his stocking feet, indoubtedly is the tallest player in ,he majors.. Earl Adams, who came o the Cubs from Wichita Falls, Kan., it i ' .s a secona oaseman, ana measures )r.ly 5 feet 4 inches. Lawrence "Hack" Miller, who came from the Pacific Coast league is said :o be the strongest man in baseball. Ho is the son of Sebastian Miller, who "or years was known about Chicago xnd the middle west as the "strong nan," and whose tests of sti-ength ire well remembered by the old timers, jack inherited much of his parent's iriake-up, but he prefers playing base ball to touring the country. " However, for the edification of his teammates, "Hack" has picked up a horse shoe and taking hold of the 'icels of the iron shoe, straightened it ut. He also will push a nail through a two-inch plank with his thumb. He is a hitter of the slugging type, his blows having plenty of strength be hind them. i .

S. department of agriculture, and cir cular 124, N. C. extension service. These publications are obtainable from county agents, or by applying direct. From 3 to 6 dustings i were given, at night and the results gave a net profit in every test. An average of all six tests sho ws that the dusted cotton yielded 328 pounds more seed cotton per acre than did the undusted cotton. and this was worth $29.7G, one of the -ests being with , long staple cotton; suotvacting the average cost of dust d t or : n , t my, i.oo per acre ior tne season- there is an average net profit of $24.88 per acre from the ..operations. This proves that the dust-method was high ly profitable. A table is given showing names of tanners whose tieids were used, num ber cf dustings, yiel'd of dusted and un dusted plats, gain, value of gain, cost, and net profit per acre, in each of the six tests. The recently ..announced "Florida method" is under study and it is plan ned to try it in North Carolina dur ing 1923. " MR. CHILD'S STATEMENT Springfield Republican. 1 In general Mr. Child, official observ er for the United States, bases his statement to the Lausanne conference of the American attitude toward the question of the straits upon the doc trine ot the open door. That serves well so far as commerce is concerned, but is more difficult to apply to the passage of ships of war. His argument against the neutralization of the Black sea is therefore otherwise based. No nation, he declares, is more ready than the United States to uphold the need of maintaining a naval force to act as police to protect American citizens, as was recently shown m the Near East. bhips of war, he urges, are not nec essarily- agents pdesti-uctio,'' and he"acTds 'We want access" tovef"y free' body of water in the world, and the United States is not going to be satis fied unless American warshiys ai-e al lowed to pursue their peaceful errands wherever American citizens and Amer ican merchant ships may go." The nevolent spirit shown by the United States navv in Near Eastern . waters beyond question, yet the general principle enundiated here is of rath er staggering breadth. All nations may send commercial vessels into the Great .akes, from Ontario to Superior is it to be inferred that where their citi zens and their merchant ships may go they have an indisputable right to send ships of . war for protection ; Cer tainly Mr. Child would not admit that; he will have to explain therefore why the United States has. a right to de mand that the Black sea should not be given a status similar to that of the Great Lakes. Innocent as may be the errands of American warshiys, not all naval op erations are so4peaceful and humani tarian in character. It is stated in London that if Russia builds up its naval strength in the Black sea Great Britain will ask the United States to call another Washington conference to deal with this question. But , to such a conference Russia would have to oe invited, and if Russia should show that its naval plans resulted directly from thfi admission to the Black sea 01 the warships' of all nations its logic might be difficult to meet. For it can hardly be contended that the main function of shins of war is rescuing refugees, or tVint. tht admission of sea power to a basin from which navies have long been excluded may not call tor detensive measures by the riparian states. Mr. Child" in his statement may have com mitted the United States more deeply against the demilitarization of nearly landlocked seas than was quite prud entfat thiiUime-.r . .- l..s..i,YiTi t ' u ' HRfln AT EP1!

Charlotte, N. C, Dec. 9. A con struction program," which involves an investment of approximately $16,000, 000 and is said to be the largest ever attempted by any corporation in the south, will be completed by the South ern Power Company during the com ing year, it was announced by offi cials here today. This program includes the building of two hydro-electric power plants, ad ditions to two steam-electric plants, which will add 200,00 horsepower to the company's generating capacity; the construction of 200 miles of trans mission lines and a number of trans' formers and switching stations, accord ing to the plans. . 'The two hydro-electric plants are at Mountain Island, Gaston county, N. C, where 80,000 horsepower will be developed, and Dearborn Station, Great Falls, S. C, where 00,000 horse power wiil be established," it was stated. "Work upon both these plants was started a year ago. The Dearborn plant, it is anticipated, will be ready for ciieration in March. The Mountain Island plant, a much larger undertak ing, is scheduled for completion in August. "The steam plant additions, accord ing to the. contract?, will be ready for operation by September 1, 1923, in time to supply the deficiency in .hydro electric power which usually occurs during September, October, and No- ' J- Ci i.

C, where 20,000 horsepower will be added. The cost of these additions will be approxi mately $2,000,000. "The 200 miles of new transmission lines, which not including substation urn! switching equipment, will repre sent a;i investment of more than $2, 000,000 and will be completed during the early Hummer, 'fha longest and r.io;-.!. important, of these lines is rom "Lookout Shoals, west of Statesville, to Winston-Salem, Greensboro and High Point, a distance of more than 75 miles. ' ' "Three lines will radiate from the r.few power station at Mountain Island, extending respectively to Salisbury, Gastonia and Mount Holly. Other lines will ! 'be built between Hickory and Rhodhiss, and between Shelby and Carolcen, while one fifty-mile line is being built from Great Falls to New berry, S. C. "The new lines will give the South ern Power Company a total of 2,400 miles of transmission and distribution lines in it's system, making itone of the most extensive transmission sys tems in the world. "The construction 'program, being put through at the present time is the largest ever undertaken in the his tory of the Southern Power Company, or any other power company in south ern states," the statement continued. "The demand for power by the rapidly growing industries of the Carolinas is such, however, that the company al ready has sold all of the power it dares to sell against the two new hydro-electric developments.
