MAKING cARBOlEc ACID

A recent issue of the American magazine quotes Thos. A. Edison in effect as saying, ''The only war in which humanity has any thing permanently at stake is to get into natures intrenchments and make her give up."
 When the European war broke out MT. Edison found that he could not get pound of carbolic acid. Here is where he proceeded to suit word and deed. His need was for one and a half tons per day. He had been securing it from Europe, the product of an European coal. No available coal could be made to furnish this product. Ithad been made alphabetically in different ways, but only in laboratory amounts and regardless of cost.
 MT. Edison adapted one of these syntheic methods an d owners of chemical works offer ed to produce carbolic acid in from six to nine months, but that was declined as entirely too long to wait. Experimenting the work of forty men in eight hour shifts, he had produced plans for a factory in one week, and with buildings erected and machinery in place he had produced 2,000 pounds of corbolic acid at the end of seventeen more days, at a price it is said, which will let him stay in the market as a pro- dueer of carbolic acid even after the war.
 Truly there are things to be done in America today aside from destroying business for ones self and others with use- less hard times talk and destroy ing souls with idle sorrow in one instance, or war producing envy, malice, hatred, false pride, mis- understanding, misdirected am- bition or greed in another.

who has seen much of the wrestling

and secured one of the cards.
To Il certain extent it ma kes no diff

working under two different names and
under two different natIonalites tends
to increase the belief that there are
other things about the game equally

Remedy.
Some plan whereby the giving OF in
territorial bases on balls can be elimi-
mated from major league baseball is
being sought by President Ban 4
Johnson of the American league. who
recently has received many letters
from baseball followers protesting
against the practice.
For several weeks President John
son has been searchin. for some feast
bic remedy for the strategic pass. but
with no success
THE intentional base on balls has
come to be one of the most. if not the
most, unpopular plays in baseball he
says. ''The great majority of the
games patrons seem to oppose it, So
do l. but what are you going to do
about it?
Many complaints have come 10 me

ing intentional bases ON balls be penal

method of detecting the intentional
pass. If we pass rule forbidding the
pass the pitchers simply will make a
bluff at trying to get the ball over
the plate. and will give the star bats
men their bases on balls just the same.
This likely would result in lot of
wrangling if the umpires attempted TO
penaliZe what they thought were in
territorial passes because the pitchers
invariably would protest that they
were trying to put the bali over
Some have suggested penalizing all
bases on balls with equal severity. but
that cure would be worse than the dis
ease. Fewer pitchers would be able to
make good under such rule
