AUTO OWNERS WARNED
AGAINST DEADLY GAS

It is better to breathe cold air than

>f R. W. Carpenter, professor of farm
i engineering at the University of
Maryland, who cautions automobile
owners against the danger of shut
ting garage doors on cold mornings
| while starting their machines.
• A considerable number of people
ire killed every year, says Mr. Car
penter. 1 eeause they do not under
stand that the exhaust gases from an
automobile In cold weather often con
a!u large amounts of carbon monox
ide gas which is a deadly poison. Cat
huration is poor in eyld weather, ex
plains Mr. Carpenter, and Instead of
complete combustion which would re
sult in carbon dioxide gas, the gaso
line is only partially exploded and
produces the deadly colorless and od
orless carbon monoxide.
The simply remedy of opening the
garage doors while the engine is run
ning. is Mr. Carpenter's suggestior
■ for preventing fatalities.

DEVELOPMENT OF RICH
COLONIES WOULD HELP
FRNNCUftYS SARRAUT
(By The Atorialr4 PrfU.)
PARIS, Dec. 3<*.—A proper develop
ment of her rich colonies would help
Franch fill the gap made by the waste
of the general war. is the argument
advanced today by Albert Sarraut,
Minister of Colonies, who is known
in the United States because* of his
work at the Washington disarmament
conference. M. Sarraut is the leader
n an effort to so equip French col
onies, that in case of another war.
France would not depend on the out
ide world for her stocks of food,
.oat and other supplies.
The French colonies in Africa and
Asia are slightly larger than the
United States, with a total of 56 mil
lion inhabitants. - Through protector
ates and otherwise. France controls
above forty percent of the continent
if Africa. According to M. Sarraut,
the richest of all French colonies is
Indo-China, with a population of 19
million people and an area of six
imes that of the state of Alabama.
M. Sarraut has a bill before par
liament to bring about the develop
ment of France's colonies, their
mines, forests, and agriculture, a pro
gram which would require three bil
lion francs. If France could arrange
natters with Germany so she would
be sure of no further invasions, this
money would be forthcoming by re
ductions in the national budget, M.
Sarraut declares.
The native populations of French
colonies are described as well dispos
ed toward their rulers, so much so
that President Millerand recently
made a trip through the African pos
sessions of the Republic in perfect
iafety.

Christmas holidays last week.
Uliurrh Services; Parties Too
As New Year’s Eve comes on Sun
lay. festivities except for church
watch” parties to welcome the new
arrival, probably will not get under
way until late Sunday night, when
countless supper parties In many
homes, as well as dances and other
forms of entertainment, and a fiance,
beginning at 11 p. m., at Carvel Hall,
will assure the little guest a royal

midnight, when throughout the city
innumerable glasses (containing grape
juice“ or fruit punch, of course) will
be raised in toasts to the health,
wealth and prosperity of the Nation
during 1923.
Will Get Noisy Welcome
But while the eve of 1923’s advent
falls on Sunday, nevertheless a right
noisy demonstration will signalize its
arrival. Many persons are prone to
firing pistols as a means of celebrat
ing the dying of an old year, anti
welcoming the uew, and the ringing
of church and fire bells, and tooting
of whistles will add to the noise-mak

that it interferes too greatly with the

IS HTBOHER
(Bt The Aneorlated Prea.)
ANN ARBOR, MICH., Dec. 30-
Blind from birth, with his conception
of the heavens formed by descrip
tions from others. Joseph Caldwell, of
Indiana, Pennsylvania, is studying
astronomy at the University of Michi
gan in order that he may meet the
scientifical requirements to permit
hjm to be graduated from the College
of Literature, Science and Arts.
Mr. Caldwell, a sophomore and 46
years old, is doubly handicapped. In
addition to his blindness, he lacks the
mechanical aids for the study cf
astronomy that often are afforded
students who take up other studies.
Blind students of astronomy are so
rare that there are no text hooks with
raised type. Therefore, he depends
upon fellow students to read his les
sons to him. So proficient has he be
come. his professors say, that he fre
quently memorizes a lesson by hear
ing it read only a few times.
In addition to astronomy, Mr. Cald
well is studying psychology. German
French and Italian. He ranks as one
of the most adept students in his
classes.

NORTH POLE SEEKING NEW
LOCATION, SAYS SCIENTIST
(By The Associated Pr*n.)
LONDON, Dec. 30.—The earth is
wobbling on its axis, according to
Colonel P. Jensen, the Danish scien
tist who returned from a degree
measuring expedition into Greenland.
He reports that'Greenland is moving
westward at the rate of 20 yards a
year. This seems to confirm the re
cent reports of surprising climatic
changes at the North Pole.
It is now established that there is a
periodic shifting of the latitude of the
North Pole. The movement is diffi
cult to detect because of the small
area of the Pole—about the size of a
tennis court. Some authorities say
that the poles are gradually changing
their positions, and that this altera
tion to the world’s axis will in time
mean that regions which are at pres
ent ice-bound will become warm and |
habitable countries.

“Hurry Up" Yost Responsible ,
For Forward Pass In Football;
Sport Gossip Picked At Random
l II) To* T ***•.>
CHICAGO. Dec. 30.—The discover
er of the play chiefly rt sponsible for
the modern-day style of football —the
forward pass—has just been found.
; He is Fielding It. Yost, veteran coach
at the University of Michigan. Twen
ty-five years ago. nine years before
the forward pass was used in foot
lull, he Introduced the spiral throw,
using it first at Ohio Wesleyan Uni
versity to teach punters how to kick
a spiral.
Using his hand instead of his foot
for Yost says he was a poor punter,
he explained to his squad how to im
part a whirling motion to the oval,
to give it speed and direction. For
many years he used this trick in
coaching his backtieid, and in 1905.
the >ear before the present-day for
ward pass, he published in a book
on football, illustrations of his meth
od of getting off the spiral throw.
“In executing the spiral throw”
Yost said in his 1905 article, "place
the ball on the hand as in the il
lustration. The ball should lie diag
onally across the palm from the base
of the thumb to the end of the little
finger. The arm should 1 e I rought
around forward in a horizontal line
and. just as Uie ball leaves the hand
it should le caused to revolve on its
axis by suddenly jerking the hand
around the Jail and to the left. The
oval will thus le made to rotate like
a spiral kiik. The end of the ball
that is ahead ’n the picture must le
kept ahead all the time. The all
in this, manner can be thrown with
ea. e from 20 to 4) yards. Tho revo
’rtion of the lull on its axis should
le rapid. This pass can be made
with or across the wind and with
practice the player can control its
distance and direction almost as well
as if the oval were a baseball."

“Tj” Cobh—Hit Controversy
- Many versions of the “Ty” Cobb
hit controversy have filled the col
umns of baseball gossip, but the truth
is that President Ban Johnson of the
American League refused to accept an
unsigned box score as official.
When Johnson announced after sev
eral weeks of dispute in newspaper
articles, that the hit was awarded to
Cobb because the official box score
was “unauthenticated,” he meant
“unsigned.”
An unsigned box score, Johnson
held, was like an unsigned check—
no good. The discovery of two dis
crepancies in the unsigned box score 1
was brought to Johnson’s attention
by the American League official sta
tistician as a routine matter and the
Associated Press box score was sub
stituted for the official box.

1 Western Conference schools only
should be permitted to compete in the
annual “Big Ten" outdoor track and
field meet, in the opinion of Nelson A.
Kellogg, director of athletics at Pur
due University, and chairman of the
athletic directors’ committee of the
Western Conference. The fact that
numerous athletic organizations, not
in eistenoe when the Big Ten track
meet was formed, now have track
meets of their own. is given as one
reason by Mr. Kellogg to confine the
event to "Big Ten” schools.
"Barring non-conference schools
from the P.ig Ten meeting would be
an aid to the national intercollegiate
meet." Athletic Director Kellogg said.
“Many schools feel that they cannot
enter both, so that If they were not
permitted to engage In the conference
event, they would be almost certain
to enter the national meet.”
Discrimination against Western
Conference schools by institutions
' w hich enter the Big Ten event only
when the latter have exceptionally
strong teams was given as another
reason why the conference meet
should he only for members of the
organization. Director Kellogg said.
