Miss Durkee's ac- cidental discovery came while she was working with chemist She noticed that garnets. when melted, did not fuse with iron or brass and following this up, found a new use for the waste garnet of which they had hundreds of thousands of tons Ground to a cer tain mesh put through a certain se- cret process, with certain special ma chineryl the waste garnet makes val uable separating powder or parting compound for use in foundry work.

HollandIa Best storY

Jack Holland of the st. Joseph Western League Club tells this story:
 "One July afternoon last summer when the Omaha and Sioux City clubs Of the Western League were indulg- ing in hot battle a commotion was noticed in one end of the grandstand in the first named city. The several hundred fans rushed through the long aisles of the stands, every one craning his neck over every ones else's shoul- der in an attempt to discern the im- mediate cause of Che trouble.
 Finally the umpire held up his hands as a signal for Che contest to halt; then, removing his mask and doning his hat he approached the stands. in a loud voice he cried:
 Ladies and gentlemen, A hush fell.
 "The umpire cleared his throat and then proceeded with the announce ment:
 "'l want to say to the owner of that gray mare that she's down and can't get up. Play ball.
 And the game was continued"

cobb's Lone Record


 From the way he has started ou. lt looks very much as though Ty Cobb planned to make his reputation stick for nine years in row. Uutl cobb's day. the longest record for continuous position at the bat was held by Hans Wagner who led his league for four years
 Beginning his rush the year after 19O7-cobb has led the batting order eight years without a break, doubling Wagner's record, and for a ninth year he is something over .45O. Beat him? Not with an army corps once he gets in motion
 From 1900 to 1914 three ball clubs controlled the destiny of the National League-New York, Pittsburgh and Chicago.
 They not only carried away, an 1S pennants for that epoch, but were nearly always one. two. three.
 But as affairs now look. 9 sable cloud has come across the day of their glory The under dogs have de- veloped a bite Boston broke Che spell last July. and there's a striking possibility now ahead that not over one of the old.time triple rulers will finish in the first division
 All this is logical enough Weakness and general decay nearly always fol. lows in the path Of success. The greatest trainer for the future is the hard luck that develops capacity for fortitude against fate. The air that one breathes at the top is gen erally too rich for the system in the way of further development.
 According to the late Mr. Newton l everything that goes up | has to come down.
 On what scientific plateau, then. does he array Ty Cobb, who went up nine years ago and has never came down sincel
