GRIMM FAVORS CUBS CHANCES Champs To Start Veteran Lineup; Cards Named Most Dangerous Clearwater, Fla., Mar. 31.—<U.R) —The Cubs were mostly veteran when they went to their spring training camp on Catalina Island and with one exception they will be all-veteran by the time the season is well under way. Here today for a Grapefruit league game with the Brooklyn Daffies. manager Charley Grimm reported the condition of his men us "satisfactory.” and said he has not changed his earlier opinion that “I like our chances to repeat." The boss of the National league champs rates St. Louis "our most dangerous rivals because of pitching, and I'd consider New York a terrific menace if they had a rounded pitching staff to balance a great outfield and a good infield." > Grimm, like other National league pilots, rates the Pittsburgh j Pirates as the most logical club for fourth place. But he feels that the Rues "haven't got the pitch Ing to support some fine power." Most outstanding development of the Cubs' spring training, which began on a Pacific isle and is continuing through Florida, is the apparent comeback of Charley Grimm. He's gone onto a scientific diet and physicians assure him he will have no recurrence of his old back injury. Another important point established definitely is that there is nothing permanent about Lonnie Warneke's world series injury. There’s a familiar ring to the Cubs’ batting order, which is all but certain for opening day: Augie

$ REPORTING . POLITICS * •pHERE Is no more exacting news assignment than reporting politics. This is true particularly in a - presidential year. United Press, with Its customary foresight, last June began its factual, unbiased, impartial political coverage tor the 1936 presidential campaign. Representatives of ten states met in the mid-West grass roots convention at Springfield. 111., at that time. Since then expert United Press political writers have been moving across the United States covering the big pre-convention stories; making cross section surveys of various states: Interviewing prospective candidates: watching new political movements and reporting day by day maneuvering.

Ti'tih the Garden-Fresh Vegetables Are Healthiest. 10 Foot Square Is Large Enough. Growing vegetables in your own back yard is a healthful practice from more than one point of view. We think of garden-fresh vegetables harvested an hour before mealtime, as wholesome because they contain in full amount the vitamins and mineral salts which nature put in them. But there is another angle to consider. The physical exertion of gardening is healthful. It is a physical culture course in its own right., and although it won't give you a massage and a rubdown after the | exercises are over, the open air and sunlight will compensate for this little oversight. The vegetable garden is a good family doctor, faithful, reliable and always at hand. Bending and stretching over the rows of rad-| ishes and lettuce are excellent for- - as well as muscle build-: ing. Active gardening will shrink a too obtrusive midriff in the: course of a few weeks, and the green vegetables produced are not fattening, but may be consumed without fear of putting on extra poundage. Green vegetables in the spring are the true spring tonic. The old-fashioned spring tonic was designed to correct deficiencies of. diet during the winter months. Today, instead of a tonic, green vegetables are prescribed the year around for general upbuilding. Not until science discovered these mysterious substances, the vitamins, was the need for tonics scientifically explained. It is now known that a lack of vigor in winter was of-1 ten akin to scurvy and due to lack of vitamins in the diet. The vegetable gardener will not be caught short on his vitamin needs, because there is no greater supply to be found than in fresh vegetables taken from the garden just before eaten. o If you are farsighted you will order a few of the everlasting annuals. They may be dried in the summer and fall and used for bouquets during the winter.

• Build Window Boxes Before Spring Arrives Cypress Wood Is Sturdiest Material. ! ——— Many garden tasks can be done in the basement. Making or repairing window boxes is one of them, and you will be thankful for your foresight when busy spring planting comes. A convenient size window box is 3t4 feet long. 8 inches deep and 10 inches wide, and if constructed of sypress wood lit will last many years. Bore (4inch holes in the bottom, 6 inches apart, for drainage, and cover them with broken pieces of pottery. Peunias are excellent windowbox subjects because of their long blooming habit. The new nasturtiums are also good, as are violas. Zanzibar balsam and tuberous rooted begonias. Use rich soil and fortify it occasionally with applications of plant food; it should have considerable humus in it to conserve moisture. Be ready to repair bare spots and blemishes in the lawn at the i first opportunity. Good lawn seed is always cheapest in the long run. You will also need a supply of complete plant food. Consult the local weather man for first hand data on weather. The ' 10-year average date of the last : killing frost gives you an ever chance for early crops of the tenderest vegetables. A “Garden of Flavors" will prove I interesting* and useful to you. Most of the sweet herbs can be grown tSeHrst year from seed, and some of them have a delightful fragrance. o Wells County Farm Youth Is Sentenced Bluffton, Ind., Mar. 31—(U.R) — Merle Penrod, 19, Wells county farm youth, was sentenced to 25 years in the state reformatory yesterday after pleading guilty to the ; armed robbery of Mrs. John Bain ! near here March 22.

HOOVER WARNS OF UNDERWORLD Chief Os Federal Agents Warns Os Powerful Criminals Washington. Mar. 31.—(U.R)—A terse warning by the chief of the nation's federal agents disclosed today that the American underworld may soon possess weapons so powerful that millions of dollars worth of police equipment will be “absolutely useless" against gangsters. J. Edgar Hoover, director of America's battle against gangdom, gave congress a glimpse of what to expect in testimony at a secret j session of the house appropriations ' committee. He assured the committee, howlever, that the federal agents were I experimenting with new equipment. including a powerful type of armored automobile, designed | smash the most desperate and I heavily armed criminal gangs. I Describing ingenious methods of ' criminals in seeking to outwit law ■ enforcement agencies. Hoover said j that it had been learned that "cerI tain equipment” in firearms is be- . Ing manufactured and that this I equipment "affords a gr, ..!er velocity and greater penetration power jthan the current type. "It is such a menace that million lof dollars worth of equipment puri chased by the law enforcement agencies in this country, including ours, such as bullet proof vests and shields used in approaching houses during raids, will be absolutely useless with this high-pow-ered equipment and ammunition about to be put on the market.” I Hoover did not disclose further details of the new equipment, but it was learned that the department had been conducting extensive experiments with powerful guns and with equipment for defense against I the most modern weapons. Bill Reported Washington, Mar. 31. —(U.R) —Expansion of activities of the federal bureau of Investigation and the steamboat Inspection service was provided for in the “four department" appropriation bill, reported to the hose today by the appropriations committee. I. The measure, next to the last regular departmental supply bill iof the session, carried $17,654,400 tor the state department, $41,261,300 for the justice department, $34,054,700 for the commerce department. and $21,697,000 for the (labor department. The total recommended appropriation was $114,667,400, or $7,984,177 less than budget estimates but $7,900,074 more than appropriated for the present fiscal year. •' The increase over the present appriation was mainly due to public works projects and administration of the social security and Guffey coal acts. • Praising the work of “G-men.” the committee recommended that the bureau of investigation have $6,026,000 to spend, an increase of $225,000 over the budget recommendation. Referring to the Morrow Castle ' and Mohawk maritime disasters ■the committee proposed $1,927,500 ! for the bUreau of navigation and steamboat inspection service in the commerce department. This amount was $167,500 over budget estimates. It would enable hiring iof 40 to 50 additional assistant ! steamboat inspectors. For public works the bill proi vides the justice department $2,'850,000, of which $1,700,000 would ,be used to construct new federal jails to supplant use of county jails for detention of federal prisoners.
