Reath had moved up to the major leagues from the Baltimore club of the International, where his southpaw pitch- ing had attracted attention, It was the third inning of a gaffe runless, up to that point, that this young 1'pokies stepped up to face the veteran right-hander of the Yankees, ,Tacit, Warhol), Perhaps WarhOp held the youngster in light esteem. At any. rate, Wav'hep pitched a ball that was a little too good, and away it streaked, into the far reaches of the distant stands, a tre- mendous drive, It was the first of 714 home -runs' in major league play, and Babe Ruth changed the course Of baseball from the careful plaa single run to the "big inning,",,hen the sluggers suddenly gang up on a weakening pitcher, and hammer home- runs in droves, t But greater one hich oain hrecords,,wh ch oettheeternleditf the brawny Babe. When the Black Sox scandal broke, and in 1929 it became known that the Chicago American League team had conspired .to "throw" a world's series, the sports world was stunned, and baseball trembled to its foundations. It was undoubtedly a crisis. Baseball. was at the forks of the, road, facing the possibility of public ostracism and dis- favour. Then along came Ruth. His big black bat started to pound out home -runs at prodigious pace. Sold to the Yankees that year, he hammered Out 54 home -runs, batted .376. The next year, he hit 59 home -runs, and the scurrilous" Sox were forgotten amid the thunder of Ruth's big bat, that carried on for another 14 seasons and saved baseball from disaster. That was Babe Ruth's greatest feat of . all. "Your comments and suggestions for this column will be welcomed by Elmer Ferguson, coo William W.

By BOB ELLIS There are almost two and one pelf billion people in the world. Z,vo-thirds of them live on the verge of starvation and about the same percentage are illiter- ate, These 1,600,000,000 people are unindustrialized and in most eases are colonials. The fruits of their labour Sow inexorably to other coun- tries and they get only one- tdxth of the world's income. The greater part of the hu- man race live in want, disease, ignorance and economic slavery. Canadians are Lucky Canadian farmers are com- plaining about lost markets and Nipping prices for their prod - Itch. • Canadian workers are worried about the prospect of having to 'maintain their families on un- employment insurance which *Mounts to a thousand dollars per; year. Yet India, with three or four hundred million people, has a per capita income of about thirty dollars. How lucky we in Canada are, Was brought home by a message in 'today's mail. Misery. hi Korea CARE, the non sectarian and Aon -profit welfare organization operating in forty countries, in a special letter appeals for help /or the hungry and depressed' people of Korea. ° How badly attention is need- e4d is shown by, a report of Dr. Joy, seventy -year old ex -clergy - mum and noted ledturer and writer, who handles CARE'S ac-. tivities in South 11orea: "There are undoubtedly 1,500,- 000 cases of active TB In South Korea, about 7 per cent of the population. Half of these are in urgent need of hospitalization and isolation, the majority chil- dren and young people." "In all Korea only 2,155 hos- pital beds are available for these people and in Pusan not a sin- gle one. So a number of chil- dren are being treated as ambu- latory cases in the general hos- pitals and clinic, though hun- dreds of children are dying every month who could be saved it they had only three things: food, a hospital bed and drugs." "Hundreds of these sick chil- dren are living in conditions of squalor and miser, crowded in with and infecting healthy chil- dren in the same families and suffering from cold, malnutri- tion and lack of medical care." Hundreds are Dying "They are dying in overcrowd- ed refugee camps where ds many as 140 people are living in a tent about 50'x110', where there is no light, even in the, middle of the day,;and no fresh air. They are living in 'shacks made of cardboard and beer cans; in station waiting rooms on the concrete floor; under bridge's over foul-smelling' streams and in wretched hovels made of straw matting." Help! Help! There is nothing to add to these words. People are starv- ing, children are dying. Can we help? Will we help?

Twenty-five tithes he staked his coveted laurels against all coal- ers, white or black, It was un- precedented. Eleven years, he re- mained champion a record in ring history. Son of a cotton picker, born in wretched poverty in an Ala- bama shack, Joe Louis earned a fortune of seven million dollars. It speaks well for democracy that such a story as that of Joe Louis could have happened in America. ' When Jack Johnson, first. Negro to win the heavyweight championship, hounded by the law and deserted by his own people, finally passed into de- feat, the boxing world heaved a deep sigh of relief, When Joe Louis, the second Negro to hold the heavyweight championship of the world retired undefeated,. the boxing world heaved a deep sigh of regret. This unlettered pugilist . who became king of ail fighters k'as the greatest influ- ence for good, boxing ever has had No pugilist was ever more universally loved, respected and - honored than Joe Louis.

Island' Where Giants Grow The celebrated French scien- tist, Dr. Jules Craveur, has been to the island of Martinique, in the West Indies, to study a phe- nomenon that has .the whole 'scientific world guessing, The 400 -square -mile island possesses properties which, make organ- isnisr'grow! When, for example, a 64 -year- old man starts growing at the rate of one and a quarter inches a year, there is either some= thing, wrong with his glands or the mode of his living must be investigated. Dr, Craveur's assistant, Dr. Albert Rounan, who has been helping him to unravel the mys- tery, has himself grown two inches in two years of residence on lila island. At an' age of 57 that is not only uncommon, but quite fantastic. Mineralogists, geologists and radiologists have now all pool- ed their knowledge and resour- ces to find the cause of the growth. They have at last found out, after the most intensive studies and research .work, that the cause appears to be in the min- eral deposits of Mont Pelee, These emit a radiation that somehow affects the glands con- trolling growth, The radiation appears to have been effective only since 1948, andaffects not Only humans but animals and plants too, - Dr. Craveur discovered that the minerals emitting the rays were there before 1948, but it seems that the radiation's effects only became noticeable then. While humans can, at the very utmost, put on another three inches, cats Can "add• as much as five to slit inches to their sta. ture, ,dogs about 'four:' Terrifying is the growth of ants, beetles, tortoises, lizards and insects, . and Dr. Craveur say's that if theirrate' of growth continues et the presentpace, they will soon bear little; re- ttefttblealee to speeles Of their kind I other countries, 11 the radiation cofltirfueg 10 itt o!ite the growth glands .for .la cher tlryy', the fatuous aolentde itreta is that Marti lige Win become tt ]and with 1'titessur., like creature* Light-footed Ballet — Ballerina Alicia Mgrkova :weigh; in at Royal Albert Hall in London, England, at a "heavy" 104 pounds, The light-footed lightweight was recently refused permission to dance at Liverpool concert hall, for fear vibration from her dancing would damage delicate stage machinery. Little Joe Jacobs Hadg�Color reit-Plenty Joe Jacobs" is gone now, but the picturesque character of the little alai" With the big cigar still lives in the hearts of the men who frequent Cauliflower Alley. And for all the laughs and jokes and the shrewd gags he pulled in his lifetime, there is still a lot of solid substance in Yussel Jacobs' career as manager of prize fighters. Little 'Joe was as quick-witted, as bold and imaginative as any man ever connected with the ring, No one will forget his weird but -enduring phrases, "We wuz robbed!" and "I shudda stood in bed," And the stories told about , the wonderful little guy are enduring proof of his cleverness.. Alter Mike McTigue won the championship from Battling Siki in Dublin on St. Patrick's Day, Joe Jacobs did a, complete switch and put McTigue on a spot similar to the one Siki had stood on. He that bold Michael to Columbia, Georgia, to fight the pride of the South, Young Strib- ling. However, Yussel took one small precaution. brought along his own referee. The bout was a very close one, and McTigue Was awarded the decision, After the fight, a big mob of local fans let their emotions get the better of their sportsmanship to the extent of surrounding the hotel in whish Jacobs and McTigue were stay- ing. The cry went up. to hang the little manager for having stolen the decision from the rightful winner, Stribling. The little guy with the big cigar didn't scare so easily, Calmly, he faced the howling mob, took the cigar from his mouth and, shouted, "All right, you guys! Go ahead and hang, me, if you wanna, I can't. Stop you. But lemme tell' you, I guarantee that if you hang me, there will ' be some guys down here from N'Yawk that will blow this here whole dump right off the mapl" Jt et Outdoerst -- Tort Payden tint been chosen to reign as f't'Otodoor Fon Queen of 1054;" at an amusement park. She'll turn every head on the Portia wheel, and visitors won't hove to enter the "Hall of Mirrors" to be do/tied, Actually, there ivas probably no one outside his own family who gave a hoot whether Joe was .strung up or not. Neverthe- less, the threat of reprisal ,was enough to scare the crowd off for a while, long enough to give manager and fighter the chance to escape with whole skins and the precious light heavyweight title, On another occasion, little Joe wandered down to Madame Bey's training . camp to watch his featherweight champion, Andre Routis, go through his paces. There he caught sight of an unknown. German heavyweight in training. One look was enough. Joe took over the management of the unknown and began to sing his praises. "Ferias," he said confidently, "I got a heavyweight who looks like Dempsey, so help ale, weaves and bobs like Demp- sey, he is Dempsey! Or maybe his twin yet. He'll win the title for sure!" And will it he did, thanks to Joe Jacobs' quick mind, For the unknown German was flat on his back, grovelling in the resin and groaning with pain, when the fast -thinking little man with the cigar leaped up screaming, "Foul! My fighter was fouled!" The referee who had not seen a low blow finally awarded the title to the recumbent fighter on the say-so of one of the judges who claimed to have seen it, Actually, on one but the Jacobs had seen the foul deed per- petrated. Fast thinking gave Joe a champion in 'Max Schmeling, first man In heavyweight history to win a title. in a relaxed posi- tion on the canvas. Late r, the little character found himself an overstuffed bouncer by the name of Tony Galento. ;Thisboisterous clown almost brought Joe another championship with a single blow landed on the face of Joe Louis. Unfortunately f o r Jacobs, Joe did not stay down. When he did get up, what he -did to Two -Ton Tony was pure murder. A lot of guys in the boxing game did a quick gulp when Joe Jacobs suddenly passed away. They remembered his record as manager. F k v e champions did J o e handle: Frankie Genaro, Routis, kinf of the feathers; Jack cutis, king of the feathers; Jack Delaney and Mike McTigue, light -heavyweight title -holders; and Max Schoneling, heavyweight champion.

Up to 1935 about 200 mussels were "inoculated" every year, and when the enterprise was auctioned the stock was 50,000 mussels, of which 80 yielded pearls of the very finest grade. In 1949, Professor Hans Gross, of nearby Schaerdilhg, undertook to revive Europe's only pearl - culture plant, At the moment things are still in the experi- mental stage, but in about ten years the undertaking may be praying extremely lucrative. There is no difference between the pelirls produced by the river pearl -mussel and those produced by the sea pearl -mussel. The system of "inoculation," exploit- ed so successfully by the Japan- ese, produces pearls as line as the real variety, and does away with the practice of inserting an arti- ficial irritant into the living oys- ter or mussel. . German and Austrian cultured pearls may well be competing in a few years with those from Japan.
