THE HOBBLE SKIRT INDICATED

A woman in st. Louis has received a verdict of S, 500 dam
ages for being run over. The defense pleaded that the accident
was due to the fact that the woman was wearing a hobble skirt
at the time, which impeded her movements and constituted con-
tributory negligence on her part. On the trial experts were call
ed and preponderance Of testimony was that a hobbe skirt is
not a hobble at all, but permits the utmost freedom Of motion.
The jury evidently took that view, for it rendered the YER
dict giving the aggrieved lady the damages, whereupon the presid-
ing Judge quietly remarked that the hobble skirt stood acqut-
ted. The verdict was really a triumph Of mind over matter, for
it revealed the fast that in the minds of those jurors it was II

:: MISTAKES
By ELLA WHEELER WILCOX

n Cd sent US here to make
II mistakes
To strive, to fail, to re-
begin,
To taste the tempting fruit Of
sin,
And find what bitter food It makes.
To miss the path, to go astray,
To wander blindIy in the night;
But, searching. praying for the
light.
Until at last we find the way.
And looking back along the past,
We know we needed all the
strain
OF fear and doubt and strife and
pain
To make US value peace at last
Who fails. finds later triumph
sweet;
Who stumbles once, walks then
with care.
And knows the place to cry be
ware"
To other unaccustomed feet.
Through strife the slumbering
soul awakes,
We yearn on errors troubled
route
The truths we could not prize
without
The sorrow of our sad mistakes

OOON after the British Parlia-
y ment passed a law forbid
bidding the cutting down of
trees for fuel, Sir Walter Ra-
leigh's expedition-in 15S5-dis-
covered iron in this country, and
in 1903 a cargo of ore was shipped
from Virginia to England and
successfully smelted. In 1914, the
first ironworks was erected near
Lynn, Mass.
In 1910. Huntsman introduced
the crucible process, and various
mechanical devices were patented
about that time, which materially
stimulated the steel industry
Bessemer s Process.
In 1888, the invention Of ]. B.
Nielson-the introduction of a
heated blast-caused a tremen-
dous increase in output This
improvement was accompanied by
Nasmyths steam hammer, and in
1856 Bessemer gave to the world
process that was astonishing
and remarkable. The discovery of
the Bessemer process made it
possible to produce steel at such
low cost as to extend its use wide
ly and did much to supeTsede
wrought iron in structural work.
Bessemer steel is now almost
universally used for steel rails.
The open-hearth system of Mar
tin and Thomas, with the regen-
erative gas furnace Of Siemens,
supplies steel that is used in
enormous quantities for all pur-
poses.
Lately, science has again pre-
vailed, and in the products Of
White and Taylor and Robert
Hadfeld we have steel that COM
bines great malleableness with
great hardness hardness that
retains its cutting power even
when at red heat!
And so we go marching on.
From the savage who in wonder
raked from the ashes of his fire
a crude ball of molten mineral
and Stag, with which he formed
d weapon of defense. to the safe
ty-razor and the automobile Of
the twentieth century citizen,
metal is supreme.
Carbon and Iron.
Steel is made by combining a
certain proportion of carbon with
iron.
The process determines its
value and variety.
The most important Of these
processes are concentration. Bes-
semer and open hearth.
The first system consists of

The dynamo sends power along

If each of these bulbs was in

Instead of remaining an agent
for the distribution of power, it
would be inspired by the ideas of
the majority to let up on giving

We can imagine a bulb throw

These are possessions through
which the power can not shine;
and while the bulb might easily
work up a corner, it would soon

layers of charcoal in friedrich re-
torts. Yellow heat is applied for
a certain period until the re-
quired grade of steel is obtained
by the addition of the necessary
carbon.
This is the steel from which
edged tools are made.
The Bessemer process is direct
ly opposite in principle to the
concentration process. The Besse-
mer burns the carbon out of the
cast iron.
This is done in an egg shaped
furnace known as a converter,
lined with friedrich, and capable
of being tilted. At the bottom,
a number of tuy~res or nozzles
conduct the air from a powerful
blowing machine through the
molten metal. This burns out the
silicon and carbon, and after the
alloy has been added and thor
oughly mixed the metal is poured
into ladies'. and thence to casting
molds.
The ingots are reheated and
rolled into the forms desired for
use.
In the open-hearth system, steel
is made from a mixture of pig
iron and scrap-iron or steel, which
is melted by direct contact with
the flame in a regenerative gas
furnace.
Steel Everywhere.
To follow these different pro-
cesses-to see the ore-cold, dead
stones-transformed into things
of utility and beauty is a revela-

that the Missable Range and your

piled gas. Steel is everywhere.
Circus horses, farm horses wear

and all kinds of electrical wires

We use nails and tacks. and the

We see all these things in the

We talk of the tone of our

speed, endurance and economy of
up-keep of our autos.
We speak of cheap and rapid

in THIS CASE

Coroner Spring and Deputy Coroner
Nichols will 60 to New Castle this az
ternoon TO investigate the death Of John
W. Gordon, the negro, who was run over
by trolley car there on August 80. The
inquest will follow the examination.
Mr.. Spring has for several days had a
man working in secret upon the case, de-
fraying the expenses out of his own
pocket, and il is for the purpose of in
Ncstigating some of the evidence obtain
ed from this man that Mr.. Spring will
60 to New Castle today. A number of
the friends of the dead negro hold to the
opinion that he was frs, murdered and
then placed on the trolley tracks to hide
the crime. In speaking of the case Cor
oner Spring brought out the fact that n
private detective is almost a necessity
to the corouer's office. Many cases come
before the coroner that would be greatly
benefited by the help Of a detective.

the strongest bits OF evidence that

OF those laws when they held Thaw
