"Poor Timber" Business Booms -4 Old-timers used to say "there's not an inch of good lumber
AP a square mile of it," but forward-looking timber farmers are ready to turn North Caro-
lina's old -field softwood trees into profits. The secret is a creosoting process which makes soft-
wood timbers last up to 30 years instead of five. Small plants like the one above can turn out
'lip `to 600 fence posts a day, at 65 cents a post. Lumber, erossties and electric light poles are also
produced from timber form ecly considered worthless.

I71 a recent issue of Collier's
Weekly we noticed a feature article
devoted to Luke Appling of the
Chicago White Sox. Somehow or
ether we couldn't help thinking .of
a novel by Somerset Maugham, a
principal figure in ° which was an
author who became the greatest
figure in the British literary world,
not because of the excellence of
his work, but simply because he
bad outlived any of his contem-
poraries.
{ * *
Luke Appling is a better -than -
fair ball player. His fielding, hit-
ting and team play are away above
the average. But he isn't the sort
of character popular magazines
would publish feature articles about
except for the one thing. He's the
only 20 -year man now regularly
performing on any of the 16 teams
Which constitute the two major
leagues.
* * *
The fragility of modern baseball-
ists, and the ever -lengthening list
of players laid temporarily on the
shelf by seemingly paltry injuries,
leads Arthur Daley of the N. Y.
Times to make some interesting
comparisons. As against today's
stars, seemingly as precious and as
easy to injure as Dresden China,
he recalls, for example, the old
'Baltimore Orioles, in the era of
Jahn McGraw, Hughey Jennings,
Joe Kelley and the rest of them.
* •* *
Those bozos were so tough, ac-
cording to Mr. Daley, that they
never got hurt; or, if they did, their
medication was to spray the injury
With tobacco juice -a cure-all which
• functioned perfectly for everything
from a slight bruise to a broken
leg -and continue playing.
* * *
Those old timers went 9 innings
a day, 154 games a year, and twenty
seasons or more without drawing a
deep breath. One of, the most reck-
less stars of all time was Tyrus
Raymond Cobb, who continually
courted injury on the base paths
1, ,, :.; Favorite Oscar Jtidd
Canadian. member of the laplr
Leafs, whose pitching an{
Y'ncli-hitting have made him
1prlar figure with the fares
a
with his daring. Yet the Georgia
Peach spent 24 years in the big
time; and his batting average in
his final season -he was 40 then -
was a mere .323.
* * *
Still, Ty Cobb's 24 years up there
wasn't a record. Eddie. Collins was
a big leaguer for exactly a quarter
of a century and so was Bobby
Wallace -and they both played the
game for all it was worth, too.
k *
The first time we ever saw Babe
Ruth -he was a pitcher then -we
couldn't help wondering how soon
those puny -looking underpinnings
would snap under the strain of tot-
ing around that giant body. His
idea of training rules would have
never got him an after-dinner pat -
on -the -back from Conn Smyth,
Tommy Daly or any of the other
inspirational speechifiers. Yet the
Babe lasted for 22 years; and Rab-
bit Maranville, . who was no bigger
than a fair -size bat -boy, and who ..
also thought that training had some-
thing to do with locomotives, kept
going for 23.
* * 'k
(Still, lest you might think that
a proper appreciation of malted,
spirituous and fermented beverages
was an essential of toughness,
Rogers Hornsby did more than his
share in the majors for 23 years
too; arid lie never took a drink in
his life.) •
* a 5.
Your modern mound -artist keeps
his salary arm, almost literally, in
cotton batting. He practically lives
on rub -downs, heat -treatments,
electric therapy and the like. Yet
a guy named Denton Tecumseh
Young boasted, truly, that he never
had a rub -down in bis life. Yet all
that Cy Young did in his 22 sea-
sons of majoring was win a paltry
511 games -a mark -that will pro-
bably never be even approached.
:k * :k
Nor was Cy Young -by any
means an isolated case. Herb Pen-
nock and Sad Sam Jones were in,,
there for 22 years. Walter Johnson
Eppa Rixey, Ted Lyons, Red Buf-
fing and Waite Hoyt kept pouring
it on for 21. Among the 20 -year
heavers were such as Grover Cleve-
land Alexander and Urban Faber.
e * *
Others on the lists of old-timers
who carried the burden for 20 or
more years are Tris Speaker, Fred
Clarke, Napoleon Lajoie, Mel Ott,
Honus Wagner, Jimmy Foxx,
Frankie Frisch, Gabby Hartnett, Al
Simmons; Paul Waner and others
too numerous to mention; and which
one of those would find it too diffi-
cult to chisel his way into any
existing major line-up?
* * *
»°It is generally an indication of
advancing age," writes Mr. Daley,
"when a fellow sniffs scornfully at
the modern generation and talks
glowingly about the Good Old
Days. Yet how can you get away
from it? The moderns get too many
wound stripes -and too few service
stripes."
* * *
To all of which we, personally,
add a very hearty "Amen:" And if
we were asked what we think is
the reason for it all, we would lay
Otte blame directly at the het of
your modern baseball managers,
ver -publicized u "masterminds"
whose every action is 8a deeply and
cannily thotight out as the 64th
move of a e'hee4-master, your Dur -

Anxieties regarding Anthony
Eden were dispelled by his appear-
ance of perfect health when he
turned up in Parliament after the
recent recess. 1His collapse while
making a speech in the open air, is
said to have been nothing but a '
touch of the sun -of which Britain
like some other places I could men-
tion, has been getting more than its
share.
The Socialist cause was dealt a
rather severe blow a week or' so
ago when, in the House of Lords,
Lord Milverton, well-known Social-
ist Peer announced that he was
cutting his connection with the

There was an interesting time in
Parliament when the Conservative$
tried out their strength by moving
an amendment to the Finance Actt,
calling for a reduction of the stand s
and rate of income tax by sixpence,,
The Government,'after a tough bat-
tle which lasted till the early morn-,
ing hours, staved off the attack, and.
the standard rate remains at nine
shillings in the pound. This means,'
that, three and a helf years after;

tax rate is only a shilling less than.,
when they were at death grips with
the enemy.

THE FAR EAST ,
There are increasing indications
that the "cold war" continues to
spread in the Far East. The widely -
held idea that the Chinese Com-
munists might find it advantageous
to keep friendly with the Western
democracies, for business and other
reasons, received something of a
setback in a statement made by
Mao Tze-Tung, Ithe Red Chinese
leader, in which he hailed Soviet
Russia as China's "real ally" to.
which he looked for help.
In Washington Secretary Ache-
son told a House Committee that if
Southern Korea did not get speedy
help from the United States it
might fall under Communist dom-
ination before very long.
Communists continue to be busy
Southesaat Asia and there is evi-
dence of their activity in India as
well. And some thousands of Jap-
anese war prisoners recently re-
leased by the Russians arrived
home singing Communist songs
and apparently under the effect of
intensive Soviet training,
This, and much more like it, all
adds up to evidence of the need
for broader activities by countries
trying to block the spread of totali-
tarian communism. Just what is the

in Europe and in the Orient is not
entirely clear. But. news c'bming
from the Far East certainly sup-
ports the.,view that Moscow is still
working hardon its project of stir-
ring up world revolution.
THE UNITED STATES
One hundred and forty-nine years
ago a young man named Eleuthere
I'renee du Pont, of the town of
Nemours in France, arrived in the
United States and began casting
around for a chance to set up in
business. Deciding that . American
gunjepwder was both expensive and
inferior, in 1804 he founded a small
black -powder plant near Wilming-
ton, Delaware.
Today the du Pont enterprise has
become an industrial empire with
total assets of more than one and
a half billion dollars. The princi-
pal unit produces some 1200 lines
of chemical products including
rayon, plastics, nylon, cellophane,
anti --freeze and Heaven only knows
what else.
In addition to this, the du Pont
family -which operates two holding
companies -leas a $560 million in-
vestment, which amounts to a con-
trolling interest, in General Motors.
Iteowns 17 per cent of the United
States .Rubber Company, and has
interests in other companies manu-
facturing tetraethyl lead, ethyl fluid,
ethyl chloride and refrigerants.
Recently United States Attorney
General Tom Clark filed an anti-
trust suit in Chicago demanding the
breaking -up of the• du Pont empire.
He charged that dtt Pont, General
Motors and U.S. Rubber • used
secret agreements, priee preferen-
tials and rebates to stifle competi-
tion.
The du Pont company denied. that
' its relationships with other organi-
zations have been either illegal or
detrimental to the people of the
United States. The president, Craw-
ford H. Greenewalt, whose wife le
a du Pont, said that Attorney Gen-
eral Clark is attacking "bigness is
business as such."
Altogether it shapes up as one
of the biggest and hardest -fought
suits • ever known; and if you live
to see it finally settled -well, you
might have quite a span of life
ahead of you, at that.
