Middletown VS.. Port Penn
BY AL"

Yes, today is the day. What day.
Why the day when we walk rough
shod over the Port Penn bunch, and
show them what they don't know
about baseball.
Everything is agog with excite
ment in Port Penn" claims Sam.
Agog is a good word to use for the
fishermen.
Local fans consider the game with
Port Penn about the same as they
did the one with Alpha. We beat Al
pha, 2O-z
Manager McMunn intends bringing
60 pitchers to Middletown with him.
Better bring some more twirlers, be-
cause you'll need them.
Poor Port Pennl Little did they
know what terrible beating they are
in for.
Even The flattering phrases of Sam
won't be able to help the Port Penn
boys. They are in for a defeat.
Lefty George Finn will occupy the
mound for Middletown. The pride Of
tho local fans will prove that he is
practically unbeatable.
All right, George. Now is the time
to turn il chat no-hit, no-run game
of yours. Might as well start on a
weak club.
Leggie. our big hard hitting back
stop, will receive the hooks delivered
| by Lefty. Boys. that batter is due
to receive a rousing cheer after the
game.
When our wrecking crew of B. Vim
yard. Ike Gibbs, Lefty Finn, and Bud
dy Walker, start in on the Port Penn
pitchers, Manager McMunn might as
well say, Goodbye, old ball game"
Well, fellows. here's where we fat
ten our batting averages. Everybody
get about 4 hits.
Port Penn will arrive in this
town IN high spirits. but when they
leave they will be feeling pretty sore.
Yes, Port Penn. it will be bad to get
shut out without even a foul.
II Is doubtful IL the fshtown boys
ever see FIRST base.
Port Penn will be greatly handi-
capped playing here. After playing
on their two-by-four lot. they will
feel lost in our park. Our diamond
is considered the fastest in the State
At that. it's not one bit faster thar
the team that plays on it,
Manager Walls would like to heal
from the Caulk club Of Milford
VII; . the trouble. Caulk? Scared Of
our wreckign crew?
Should Port Penn get hit off Lefty
Finn. the occasion will go down in
t"e history of Port Penn as one OF
''ic greatest .iracles that ever hap
pened.
We're sorry 10 spoil your record
Sam but II must be done. You're 60
ing up against a baseball team when
YOU play us.
AS a fms, we must say. Let the
best team win" Looks pretty much
like Middletown.

Discovery Of 1nestimable
Value in Making Dyes

can chemists haYe been trying to dis
cover the secret of making these dyes
and now, says Mr.. Allen. they will soon
succeed in obtaining all but few colors,
If the government will help them.
BY means Of this process. to which
Mr.. Allen has devoted SO much time ana
research, bleach can now be manufac-
tured so efficiently and cheaply. that 1t
will reduce the cost Of bleach from $3Oc
per ton to only 500. Naturally. the
knowledge of this process is in great de-
nand by the owners Of pulp and cotton
mills. Two Of the Allen electrolytic cells
will turn out so pounds Of bleach. Inc
State OF Maine alone uses in its mills 70
tons of bleach per day. The demand TOT
bleach in this country can scarcely be
supplied, so great plants for its manu-
facture after the new method are spring
ing up all over the country.
1.-The people of Portland" says MP.
Allen, don't realize what is going on.
Eneineers right here in this city are
daily drawing up contracts for enor-
nous plants in different places. Last
week, a great factory was designed for
the Pacific coast. Tennessee has now

that the first plant built for the installa-
ton of the Allen-Moore cell process was

for the use of this new process have
been started in Norway, and even In
India.
The bleach and the chemical basis OF
aniline dyes are not the only results OF
the Allen process. Caustic soda, the by
product, is used in the preparation OF
synthetic carbolc acid, which is used
in making explosives, and will be en-
ployed in the manufacture of munitions
for the allies in this war.
Mr. Allen was asked what he thinks

'orhe nearsightedness Of the United
States government is what we have to
thank for not being ready to step into
Germany's shoes. and provide our manu-
facturers with the important dyes that
they need" said Herbert l. Allen, for
merly principal of Deering high school,
now successful chemical inventor, to
Press representative. I'VE have been
caught mapping. The manufacturers of
paper and textiles have in many cases
been obliged to close their factories. on
account of the lack of bleach dye. The
outbreak of the war left them in very
serious situation. The storekeepers are
not guaranteeing the fastness of the
dyes in their colored goods. 1t is not
that the American chemist lacks the
genius of the German inventor. but he
lacks the support Of the United States
government in his undertakings.
Every bank in Germany has on its
board an expert chemist, and any in
ventor no matter how poor and obscure,
may have his work examined, and If 1t
is promising, the bank will back him up.
Germany is now using in warfare many
inventions, including her big guns and
submarine detectors. which were de-
signed by Americans, and scornfully
turned down by this government. I'm
less the United States government pro-
tects our infant industries with tariff,
Germany will get back her market in
dyes after the war"
In spite of the rebuffs encountered by
American inventors, Mr.. Allen has, in
few short years, achieved as great a
success in the chemical field as he did
in his work as principal of the Deering
high school. This position was held by
Mr.. Allen from 1909 to 1913, and during
those years, he led Deering high school
away from it's old classical CURRICULUM,
and established it on a modern scientific
basis, making it admittedly the fore
most scientific high school, and, many
people say, the best preparatory school
in the State.
Mr.. Aliens chemical discovery, which
he has perfected after a number of years
of experiments, is known as the Allen
Moore cell. The new process provides
for the electrolysis of sodium chlorine.
in which chlorine is produced as a main
product, the important by-product being
caustic soda. The chlorine is in enor-
nous demand for use in bleaching paper
and cloth, for purifying city drinking
water, and for forming the basis part OF
aniline dyes, which used to be Imported
from Germany, who holds the secret OF
the best dye-making. For years Ameri-

Quashed in Androscoggin
Bribery Case.

The following rescripts from the
State Of Maine law court have recent
ly been received:
kennebec
August Boucher VS.. Cushnoc Paper
Company.
Rescript. Cornish, ].
The plaintiff was injured in the
wood room of the defendants mill on
the evening Of December II, 1912. He
was engaged at the time in carrying
on his shoulder heavy logs of wood
about four feet in length. from a small
car outside the basement door to a
saw situated in the basement. While
thus engaged he claims that the for
ward end Of a log came in contact with
an iron truss rod supporting a beam in
the ceiling, and hanging above the
path Of his work, and that he was
thrown upon the floor and injured. The
negligence complained Of is the exis-
tence of this low truss, combined with
the inadequate lighting Of the room.
Held:
? /. That so far as the truss was con-
cerned, 1t was a matter Of mill con-
struction and had existed for a long
time. The lowest point Of the truss rod
was five feet, ten and One-half inches
above the floor. If it's maintenance
could be deemed negligence on the part
Of the defendant, a question not free
from doubt, the plaintiff had assumed
the risk connected with it and cannot
now be heard to complain Of it. The
risk, il any. was open, visible and fully
appreciated by the plaintiff, who from
his prior service in the same room was
entirely familiar with the construction.
2. That as to the inadequate light
ing the evidence weighs heavily against
the plaintiff.
8. That if the plaintiffs contention
as to darkness is not true, then the
defendant cannot be charged with neg
ligence, and the case fails. II his con-
tention as to darkness Is true, then his
own want of due care is apparent, and
the case likewise fails. For a man of
mature years, in the full possession of
his faculties, entirely familiar with
the situation and surroundings, to at
tempt to transport logs of wood weigh
ing about two hundred pounds each,
on his shoulder, distance of 40 feet,
over an uneven, wet and slippery floor,
across a log chain and beneath low
lying beam, all this in darkness, must
be regarded such contrtbutory negli-
gence on his part as precludes recovery.
The verdict was manifestly wrong.
Motion sustained.
New trial granted.
