CHROME IRON ORE'' MINES PLANNED,
 GADSDEN HEARS.
Rustless Steel May Be
 Manufactured From g Etowah Mineral
(Gadsden Bureau)

GADSDEN, Ala, June 3.-Vast de- posits of chrome iron ore in Sand Valley, this county, will probably be developed as the result of experiments made fly Pittsburgh Steel interests, ac- cording to information. It is said some of the ore when smelted and the iron converted into steel proves to be rust proof. Out of the process. it is claimed, came the discovery that steel can be treated with chrome ore to make it resist rust. The treatment is cost ly, however, while the steel made from the ore is said to be cheaply produced. The ore seam is 30 to 36 inches in depth and is high in metallic contents, according to reports.

 Hard to get pessimistic about this country. Last year we Americans blew in more than billion dollars for bum stocks. We pass a lot of blue-sky laws and pay no attention to them. Any one with the picture of derrick can sell us oil stock. The photograph of a mountain is background enough for a silver mine. Last year, also, the pre- ventable fire loss was more than half a billion dollars. In spite of sermons safety weeks, editorials, slapped faces spanked persons, we go on building fires with kerosene and gaily Tipping lighted matches into waste baskets.
 But it is hard to get pessimistic about the country. Add the cost of bum stocks to the loss by fool fires and you have billion and a half. Very well, then. This year the actual money

MONTGOMERY, Ala, June B. Lawyers from the seventh division ,eD- joy the reputation of being the most argumentative members of the bar in all Alabama. Close observers at the capitol are authority for this state ment. Just why the lawyers from this particular division should utter more eloquence before the higher courts than other lawyers of the state is not known, but the fact remains, nevertheless, ac- cording to those in touch with the sit uation.

The seventh division com prises the counties of Calhoun, Chero- kee, Clay, Cleburne, DeKalb, EtOwah Randolph, Shelby, St. Clair and Talla dega.

TECH NINE PREPARED
FOR WESTERN GAME

Tech Highs diamond athletes have
reached al seasoned stage of develop
ment for their match with Western
Friday in Central stadium, which will
open the high school base ball cham
pionship series. The Manual Trainers
appear to be well fortified with Hurl-
ers, judging by the brand shown by
Tew, BatSon and Dulin in practice
games thus far Quite a formidable
defense also has been developed by
Coach Erickson of the Maroon and
Gray. Techs batting prOweSs seems
to be improved over that of last year
That 6 to o defeat administered to
the Gallaudet nine yesterday by
Tech indicates that Western will
have to step lively TO turn in a win
Friday. If Western hopes to win its
opening titular match 1t must do
better against the hurling of Tew,
Batson and Dulin than the Kendall
Greeners did yesterday. Tew allowed
Gallaudet but one hit in three innings
and, although Dulin and Batson did
not fare 50 well. they managed to
keep their opponents scorelcss.
McCormick's work at third was i'm
pressive, as he made several difficult
plays. Dove of Tech connected for
the only two-base smack of the game.
The Manual Trainers were to oppose
Swavely today on the latter's field in
GnaI preparation for Western.
Three other games are scheduled
today Western was TO meet George
Mason high school on the Hilltop dia
mond. while Central planned to show
