Collins Will Make Sixth
Big League Player-Pilot
NEW YORK, Apr. 17.—Eddie Col
lins, veteran infielder of the Chicago
White Sox, starts his first season as
a major league manager when the
curtain rises on the 1925 season to
morrow. He will take his place
along side of Sisler, Harris, Ban
croft, Speaker and Cobb as a playing
manager, directing his team from his
keystone position in the infield.
To Collins falls the assignment of
welding together a team that has
not yet fully recovered from the
effects of the disastrous scandal of
1919 when the White Sox ranks were
rent by the contaminating influence
of big gamblers. His task is a gi
gantic one, an aoid test for the per
sonality of the caliber of Collins.

ears to all overtures made to ele

with the death ot' Frank Chance and
the retirement of Johnny Evers, Col

wholly as an experiment, to see
whether the managerial duties would
interfere with his ability as a play

The Chicago White Sox will be

! Cold Weather Forecast
for Next Two Summers
I _
(By Associated Press)
WASHINGTON, D. C., Apr. 17 —
Unless scientific signs fail, says
Lieutenant Commander George E.
Brandt, aide to the naval hydrograph
er, this summer will be a cold one,
and the summer of 1926 even colder.
A study of solar radiation and
ocean temperatures has convinced
him that next year “summerless”
1816 may be duplicated.
Lieutenant Commander Brandt
points out that cyclonic disturbances
are the unknown quantity in the
weather equation, and that while the
present outlook is for a decided
temperature drop, actual conditions
at the time may be far different, be
cause of factors that are now known.
He believes, however, that ocean
temperatures greatly influence the
weather, and that the 1925-6-7 weath
er already has been largely deter
mined by the heat of the sun that
was stored up in the ocean during
j 1922-3-4, when solar radiation was
j below normal.

Japan Would Swap Goldfish
for Songbirds of the West
LONDON, Apr. 17.—-An interested
visitor at the national show of cage
•birds held in London recently was
Prince Taka-Tsukasa, a cousin of
the Prince Regent of Japan. As vice
president of the Japanese Ornitholo
gical Society, he came to England to
purchase a supply of canaries and
other songbirds for the Orient.
The prince says that canaries, in
troduced in Japan about 200 years
ago by the Dutch, have become very
popular as pets, and fresh supplies
are being bought regularly in Europe
to meet the increasing demand.
One of the outcomes of the visit of
-the prince may be the organiza
tion of an international syndicate to
bring goldfish from Tokio to be trad
ed for linnets, goldfinches and other
songsters which must be imported ir
to Japan.
Rare Rabbits May Bring
Wealth to Saskatchewan
MOOSE JAW, Sask., Apr. 16.—Ho
ward Smith, a railwayman of this
city, has started something new in
Canada in the way of farming, the
raisng of Chinchilla rabbits for the
commercial trade.
Chinchilla rabbits are small and
blue-grav, and about the size of
squirrels. The pelts sell from $3.50
to $10, and Chinchilla wraps bring
from $10,000 to $15,000. These rab
bits are found naturally only on the
eastern slopes of the Andes Moun
tains, in Chile, Peru and Bolivia.
They are small, hopping animals and
make deep burrows in the ground,
especially between rocks. They eat
almost anything and thrive in cold
weather.
By use of carbon-dioxide “snow”
a refrigerator has been devised to
dispense with the use of ice.
Germans Spent Moderately
for Funeral of Pres. Ebert
LONDON, Apr. 17.—Press com
ments on the funeral costs of
Germany’s first president, Friedrich
Ebert, which amounted to approxi
mately $50,000, have recalled the
fact that England’s most expensive
funeral was that of the Duke of Wel
lington, which cost the nation. $500,
000.
According to the estimates in Lon
don the expense of President Ebert’s
burial was very moderate compared
with the cost of the obsequies for
old Emperor William in 1888, when
the- city of Berlin spent $430,000 and
the imperial treasury more than
$550,000 in addition. The funeral
expenses of King Edward were about
$200,000 and those of Queen Victoria
$175,000.

Shells Built by Pocock
SEATTLE, \Yn., Apr. 17.—Many
racing shells used by universities in
the United States have been design
ed and constructed by George Po
cock of Seattle. Pocock’s father and
grandfather were shell builders. His
grandfather built the first racing
shell in Great Britain. His father,
R. G. Pocock, was rowing manager
of Eaton, England, for 14 years. He
retired for a time, but is again build
ing shells in England.
So well has George Pocock built
shells that seven American universi
ties have given him orders for boats
George Pocock and his brother came
to America in 1910 and settled in
Vancouver, B. C. After two years
they came to Seattle.
“Shells have changed,” remarked *
George Pocock. “I have seen all the
changes, and have been responsible
for many.”
Composition wall board only one
half inch thick, but capable of re
sisting fire and sudden tempera
ture changes, has been patented.

AN EMPIRE BUILDER
As all railroads in years gone by have been the greatest
contributing factors in development of the regions through
which they passed, so also is THE ALASKA RAILROAD each
day accomplishing much towards the building of an empire.
In place of the old, tremendously expensive and inconve
nient methods of transporting supplies of whatever character
over rough trails from the coast, there is now a modern rail
road that carries supplies and equipment in greater quantities
to and from the Interior, and along the way, in much less
time and at far less expense than was formerly required.
This great steel highway offering regular twice weekly
freight and passenger service between Seward, Anchorage
and Fairbanks; and tri-weekly mixed service over the
Chickaloon and Chatanika branches, is at your service. For
further information write
