Is some what' like Jumping from the of fice boy's stool to the boss' ele gant "office. Out of the thousands who have tried the baseball jump, only 15 succeeded, and still are regulars under the diamond's big top. Ten of them made the grade from college, while others either strayed into training camps and asked for work or , were spotted on sandk)ts. Six of the 15 remain ed with the same club, most of them having been caught in trade winds that regularly shake base ball. The six are Ethan Allen, Cincin nati, who came from the Univer sity of Cincinnati; Melvin Ott, whom the Giants lifted, from a sandlot; Luke Sewell, veteran Cleveland catcher and University of Alabama product; Ted Lyons, who made such a reputation at Bayror college, Waco, Tex., that the White Sox signed him up be fore he was graduated, and Danny McFadden, an amateur the Boston Red Sox grabbed in 1926. The other starters and stickers are: Bib Falk, whom tbe White Sox got from the University of Texas and traded to Cleveland; Frank Frisch, Fordham Flash, now with St. Louis Cardinals, for merly with Giants; Bob Reeves, with Red Sox. from Reorria Tech; Fred Williams, who came to th White Rot from .

JI CROWDED CI1Y i BERLIN (AP) The lure of the big city is as potent here as elsewhere and the city fathers are greatly concerned about It. Berlin's population increased by 80,000 last year through Immi gration of people from the coun try, thus making the metropolis a city of almost 5.000,000. The in flux exceeded by 20,000 last year's emigration from all of Ger many to foreign countries. The movement persists too, de spite the fact that prospects of finding a Job; in Berlin are mea ger. The housing commission is much troubled about it because it is simply ; impossible to find quarters for all these new Ber liners. In most cases public welfare organizations (are obliged to come to the rescue of stranded indivi duals who. ip their belief that money Is easy to get In the cap- itaj, sfceni! their last cents on railway tickets to come here. Such relief expenditure runs into millions of marks yearly. i? I wouoer iFrrS a SAFfcBuy?

In comfort, style and per formance, the great six has estab lished a conspicuous place for It self among fine ears. Five passenger sedan, five pass enger coupe, roadster and coupe make up the Willys-Knight Great Six line. All are equipped with wire wheels, although models with wood wheels are offered at lower prices. Each model presents a striking style development that is empha sized by the effective color treat ment employed. The comfort for which Willys-Knight cars are famous is evident in the interiors with their luxurious cushions and smart appointments. . The public appeal for more power and speed Is answered em phatically by the new WMys Knlght Great Six sleeve valve en gine which develops 87 horse power, resulting a considerably higher road speed than ever be fore. This is the most powerful engine ever manufactured by Willys-Overland. A number of Important changes have been made which appeal particularly to the driver. An Im provement in the gear shifting mechanism, together with the use of a straight lever Instead of the curved lever, results in shorten ing the distance necessary for the hand to travel in changing gears. The spare wheel and tire mounting in the front fender wells has been improved by car rying the weight on the brackets riveted to the side rail of the frame. This removes any load from the fender and running board and eliminates vibration. Outstanding mechanical feat ures of the new great six include the popular "Finger-tip control," which starts the engine, sounds the horn and operates the lights with a button located in the cen ter of the steering wheel; the new three spoke rubber covered lubrication; cam and lever steer ing gar; manual heat control: automatic radiator shutters; all internal four-wheel brakes; ad justable front seat and steering post; emergency brake at left of driver's seat; and heavy seven bearing crankshaft.

IS MCE 10 INSECT STAMFORD, Conn (AP) An "insect electric chair" has been invented at the Bartlett Tree re search laboratories here. It is a new device for killing Insects. Heretofore they have been sprayed, drowned, swatted and caught in traps. The electrical device resembles a large ornamental lantern, of square, wide bottom. Two of Its sides are made of fine wires, charged with electricity to kill in sects lighting on them or attempt ing to crawl through. Though fatal to many insects, the current cannot be felt by a person placing his hand on the wires, and is not dangerous to human beings. It Is an ordinary house lamp current, run through a transformer. The lantern is made to hang on trees, screen doorg, or wherever Insects congregate. It works 24 hours of the day. In daylight bait inside the lantern attracts the In sects, and at night an electrc light bulb lures them. Dr. E. Porter Felt, who is coe ducting experiments to deternilce the usefulness of the new "ehair," says that it has killed fli, beetles of some sorts, locusts urd lady bugs. Death apparently is instantaneous. TEX ARK AN A, Ark.
