The challenge was taken up by a young American mechanic named Hobbs, who had came over to see the Rzhibltimn. He spent fourteen days devising and making tools with which to pick the lock and fifty-one hours actually at work on it, finally suc- ceeding in dispelling the Merl dream of an "unpickable" lock. Hie astonishing feat was the great event of the Exhibition. It made him world-famous and established a new era in the pro- duction of locks and keys. Ever since I-fobbs' feat there has been a race between locksmiths and lock -pickers for supremacy, and the locksmiths have undoubtedly been winning. Britain once more makes the fin- est and most unpickable locks in the world and a great trade is done in special Orders. Britain's lock and key industry is centred in Wolverhampton and Willenhall - a traditionally great blacksmith centre. Top craftsmen earn up to thir- teen pounds a week and for new entrants to the trade a seven-year apprenticeship is required. But a man is not considered an expert until he has served a further ten or twelve years. Some of the lock factories round Wolverhampton employ only a master -workman and his two or three apprentices, others boast as many a5 one hundred and fifty workers (including apprentices), The weekly production of locks in this district alone is not far short of half a million, and there cannot he less than ten thousand distinct sizes and patterns. You can still buy a lock and key for sixpence, or you may have good value in a single lock ,for about ten pounds. Scotland Yard is said to have in its possession nearly a ton of pick- locks and -false keys, taken from burglars and suspected persons. beading Lady -Youngest horse- woman ever to compete in the Richmond Royal Horse Show at Wimbleton, .England, 21 -month - :old Jackie Hunt managed a smile las she lugged a saddle to the site of u special contest for children's ponies on leading reins. As a tribute to her poise, no role made with the horse laugh' when tiny Jackie failed to win first prize. Not. Enough Millionaires There just aren't enough million- aires in Canada to pay the taxes the government needs, Finance Minister .Abbott reminded a Socialist MP who complained about the new de- fense taxes in the House of Com- mons the other day: One would have ,thought that even t CIPers knew that by now. The late socialist government PJ .Australia learned that lesson, In that country they had a cluadnt idea that the Hell would be able to fur- nish all the taxes necessary for their grand schemes. But there weren't enough of them and when they ran out of millionaires anti everybody had to chip in and pay taxes, out went the socialist government.

Carefree Casey - Manager of the world's champion Yankees, Casey Stengel, has a way of looking unworried even when beset by the most crucial crises. And so it was small wonder that New York catcher Yogi Berra looked incredulous as his boss put on a carefree juggling act even while a Yankee relief expert walked towards the Yankee Stadium mound vacated by Tommy Byrne after the Detroit Tigers cut loose with a three -run attack. SJORT �Y A SlXBITC Our pre -season trail in the Ameri- can League was for the New York Yankees to take it all. At this writ- ing it doesn't look like such a bad prediction at that, as Casey Sten - gel's pets are just one game out of first place and shoving signs of overtaking and passing theanmaz- ing Chicago White Sox. - - :F * Still, if anybody was rash enough 10 wager the. rent money on our choice we would advise then to do a hit of hedging, as we say over at dear old Epsom Downs. For if gambling wasn't such an evil thing -see the daily papers for details - we would be greatly inclined to take a little ticket on the Boston Red Sox, especially if the odds were- fairly erefairly succulent. * x 5 \Vhy this sudden switch to the Red Sox, a team we have concis- • tently picked against and - ice - watered even when they looked like standouts? There's just one reason, and it's a one-man reason. For the first time since he hit the lig time Ted Williams shows signs of having shed his "great I -am" mantel, and of becoming the truly outstanding star he always had the potentialities of being. If he has clone that, and is playing for the team rather than for his press clip- pings, he could easily carry the Red Sox to the title, \Vith the line-up they have, it wouldn't take but a teeny mite of extra help, * * 4' ]leve are a few quotes from the AP description of a game against the White Sox which illustrate why ,ec imagine that Williams Inas fin- ally taken a tumble to himself. "Ted actually starred in the field, racing to the Scoreboard to make a sensational stab of Chico Car- rasgnel's fly to save the game in Tomorrow's Chicken: $5000 -Charles Vantress, left, holds one of the California Cornish -New Hampshire cross birds that won $5000 first prize in a national "chicken -of -tomorrow" contest. Extend- ing cbngratulations is Howard C. Pierce, poultry research director of the food chain which sponsored the meat -chicken improvement contest. Vantress' chicken weighs 4.27 pounds at 12 weeks of age compared to overage chicken's weight of about two pounds at that age. the eighth. . Remember when Williams never hit to left? When he used to dig in at the plate and try to pull every. pitch to right? No more. Chicago led 3-1 when Wil- liams came up with one out in the third. He bunted -that's right -- bunted neatly down the unpro- tected third base linet A pass to Doerr and singles by Vollmer and Moss tied the score ... It was still 3-3 when Williams came up with two out and Goodman on second in the fourth inning. Once mqre he crossed up the boys with a double off the left -field scoreboard to break the tie." * * r Behind the seeming miracle of Williams actually deliberately hit- ting to left lies a story. It is five years now since the Cleveland Indians pulled the "Boudreau shift" on Williams -the shift, widely cop- ied by outer clubs, which pulls practically the whole defensive team over to right -the shift which, ever since, has been taking hacks out of the Williams batting ave- rage and losing games for the Bos- ton team, Fans and players by the hundreds have plended with Williams to stop aiming for the right field fence and start slicing toward left, but Williams appeared to 'have a heap of mule blood in hill and just plain rtfnsc,l to do 50. * , But recently the Boston slugger received a letter which appears to have done the business. The letter was from nobody else but Tyros Raymond Cobh, the daddy of them all -not even Wee Willie Keeler excepted -at "hitting thein where they ain't." * 5 :F '.Ty Cobb has long leen an ad- mirer of Williams, Unit didn't think much of '.Ted's bull-headed insis- tence that the "Boudreau shift" was a challenge that could only be *net by continuing hitting, TO RIGHT, 'F 5 F "Of all the fellow.' leve seen in• baseball in the last twenty years," Cobb told a friend several months ago, "Williams is the only one I thought could break my record. But he is losing fifty points a year on his batting average by refusing to bit to left. It gives ,tae a pain to think that $10,000 pitchers arc *laking a $100,000 hitter do what they want. If he'd do what I think he ought to do, he could become the first .4.50 !litter in baseball his- tory." * e , The friend Cobh spoke to was the man closest to Williams of anybody in sport -Fred Corcoran, the golf promoter. No doubt Corcoran pass- ed the word along to Williams, but with no noticeable effect, k '1 :1. .- Then, in the early part of the present season, Williams' batting was ghe-lh-..--that is, for a man like Veahem, So Cobb rat SOWS and nt(tt.

At that rate he might Tonle close to the magic ,400 mark -or even go over it -by the seasons end. If he does, a lot of the credit should go 10 Ty Cobb. * .3 it The credit, that is -hut not the cash. For if you, genteel reader, on the strength of what we have told you, should happen to go and make a nice clean-up on the Boston Red Sox to take it all, remember who it was tipped you off. Our motto is the sante as Omar I(hay- yant's---'Ah take the cash and let the credit go." Better Than Fur Wolf end mouton skins have long been used to trim and line parka hoods, flight jackets and cap's for Arctic service in the Air Force. But wolf and mouton skins are hard to find in these days of shortages. Ac- cordingly the Air Material Com- mands's laboratory is testing fur made from nylon and other syn- thetic fibers that cost only a fifth as much, Wolf fur has been used in the past because frost formed by breath- ing can be easily knocked or brush- ed from its long, smooth hairs. Nylon furl is now being tested at 65 degrees below zero Fahrenheit. This artificial nylon fur has a back- ing of knit cotton coated with rub- ber. It is so poor a conductor of heat that a than wearing a parka made from this material stays warm. Frost is easily brushed off because nylon does not absorb moisture. . Experiments are also being con- ducted with a blend of dynel and vicara fibres, both synthetic, as sub- stitutes for mouton. Again there is a saving in cost. The two synthe- tics will be used for collar trim- mings. Still Champ! - Comeback King Ben Hogan bows before a cheer- ing crowd after he successfully defended his title as 11,5. Open Golf Champion.
