Prevented a Serious Accident.

A very serious railroad accident was
probably averted by the prompt action of
Jimmie Rate and Roscoe and Biney Pat
terson Saturday night, who on their way
from Middlesex discovered large boul-
der on the Central Vermont track near
the place where the serious accident two
years ago occurred. The boulder weigh
ing several tons had rolled down from
the steep hillside on the east side of the
track. Two of the boys promptly started
in opposite directions to stop approaching
trains and the third notified the section
men who removed the obstruction before
the night express was due.

FINDS NEW ARMOR
PROCESS

PHILADELPHIA, Pa, Sept. S.
1t is stated that the Midvale Steel
company has a new secret process for
making armor plate that may revolu-
tionize that industry as we'll as reduce
the cost to an extremely low figure
This, at least. is the belief of experts
in the navy department and accounts
for the fact that Midvale has hereto
fore made bids for government con-
tracts against both the Carnegie and
Bethlehem companies. although it had
no plant ready for operation at the
time of bidding.
What the company's new process
is has been kept a profound secret
but it is declared that the plates will
stand every test required and can be
made for perhaps 500 a ton. whereas
the lowest price ever paid before was
at least $500 ton.

FINEST ATHLETIC field
MADE OUT Of A
RAVlNE

DIES MONIES, Iowa, Sept. g.
Unlike any other athletic field in the
west, and probably in the world. That
is the unanimous verdict of the persons
who view the new field that the Drake
university is building in this city From
the inside it looks like the Harvard
Stadium, but from the outside the
nature of the construction cannot be
realized. 1t is virtually hole in the
ground.
This new field when completed will
cost in the neighborhod of $4,000 and
with the exception CT the field just
finished at Harvard will be the most
complete in the country. 1t is situa-
ted two blocks to the northwest OF
the university building in the north
west part of the city and has excellent
street car facilities.
The peculiar feature of the new
field is that it is natural amphl-
theater. The field was formerly a
deep narrow ravine, with the hills
on the west and east and the grade
of Forest avenue on the south. The
vast project of converting this place
into an athletic field came through the
necessity of the case, other land in the
vicinity being covered with residences.
The best engineers in the city shook
their heads. 1t was an impossibility.
Alumni of the engineering department.
of the school got together and formu-
lated the plans and surveyed the
ground, and the contracts for the re-
moval of the thousands of yards Of
earth were let.
Around quarter of a mile track
rises the ampitheater. inclosing it all
with the exception of the small space
at the north end, the seats. being ret
in the side of the hill. While all the
seats are not in place at the present
time, when it is completed it will have
seating capacity for but few less than
the Harvard building which has seated
10000. The track is 30 feet wide in
the straightaways and 20 on the turns
and will be cindered around the entire
length. From the track drop Of five
feet occurs to the level of the foot ball
and base ball field. The field is fitted
with the best gridiron that modern
science can construct and with the
coming of spring will have a baseball
field and tennis courts for field
athletics.
The field will be dedicated Oct. 8
with the annual game between Drake
and the State university, the event
being celebrated as a city holiday 1t
will become in time the center of ath-
letics of the state and of the Missouri
valley. and in all probability vii be the
scene of the next state meet.
