OF the Word Veteran

Some players have been driven out Of the

through sheer ability and nerve. But that
means a lot Of extra strain on a man who is
under high tension even under the best Of
circumstances.

the Indian who created a sensation with the
Cleveland team several years ago. Sockalexis
was hailed as a wonder, which he was. He

ever he appeared, but all this adulation proved
too much for him. He looked too much on fire

evening last summer with the somewhat

FoRD's DREAM

Henry Ford, visiting Boston, makes
this startling prediction: Within a
few years. wouldn't be surprised
if it were within five or six years
we won't be mining coal any more.
Coal will be burned underground
right where it is found, and the by
products utilized.
Probably we'll utilize all the gas,
too, for heat, light and power. Some
of the heat can be utilized, too, where
it is generated under the ground
What heat is wasted by this method
won't be nearly as important as the
weste of human energy which results
from our present method of mining
coal, and the waste involved in trans
porting and distributing it,
Just how Ford would work this
dream out in practical way, he
doesn't say. But it is possible.
Then, too. Ford has become an en-
thusiast about white coal'-water
power.
He sees the day when even drops
of rain viii be transformed into cleo
tricity.
He says the power going to waste
in rain can be estimated By locality 6
inches of annual rainfall and the dis
lance the rain drops in making its
eventual way back to the sea level
Ford proposes: Collect the water
on fat lands during the winter. Drain
it off in summer and you'll have won
derfully fertile land for four crops
In the autumn, after the harvest, lei
the water collect again
This latest dream of Fords results
from a trip he made the other day
into a coal mine. He went about
three miles underground and found
it "a terrible place to be in, no fiji
place for human being to work
More than half million Americans
