WORLDS SERIES STARTS TODAY

Boston, October 6-This city. the
home of winning worlds series base
ball teams, awaits the opening OF the
1916 classic tomorrow, between the
Brooklyn Nationals and the Boston
Americans, with the calm confidence
that comes from faith in It's playing
representatives and the unbroken
string of victories in past contests.
The optimism and fighting spirit that
the Brooklyn Club and its accompany
ing band of Supporters brought to
town tonight added interest to the inn
pending struggle for the premier
honors of the diamond, without shak-
ing in the least the faith of the local
fans that the Red Sox would triumph
over the invading team from Greater
New York.
This confidence is reflected in a
score of ways and in every portion of
the city as well as throughout New
England. In baseball debate and
wagering it crops out time and time
again until it would appear as if there
was not in all of this section one
American League rooter, who even
considered the possibility of defeat
While the betting tonight is 10 to z
on the Red Sox, with but little Brook
Ign money in sight, the average sup
porter of the Boston Americans, de-
spite his confidence, is far from pre-
dieting walk-over for the winners OF
the American League race.

The worlds war lords are using copper
to the extent Of thousands of tons daily.

many OF the projectiles themselves have

guns have copper parts, and the huge
leviathans that carry them and keeled

carries copper in his plane. Every power

Wherever you find mechanical power,

forms Il Is In the locomotive and the giant

Per, use copper and handle copper daily.
There Is hardly q manufacturing process
into which copper does not enter. Art,
science, industry, commerce and trans
portAtion all require copper In steadily
Increasing quantities.

Copper In solution is the greatest in

OF tons are used annually to spray our
fruit and shade trees. Copper sulphate,

Practically every man, woman and
