CHINO PLAYS
BISBEE TWO
GAMES TODAY

Chino plays Bisbee today in a
double header. This is the crucial
play of the Copper league series as
either team may win the pennant
over the outcome of these two games.
The Bisbee team is in fine shape
and the Chinos are warmed up to a
good pitch so that the games are
likely to prove very interesting. Large
crowds are expected to attend and
arrangements have been made to
handle an unusually big gate. The
games will be at the Warren park.

fix that valuation on themselves.-De

Survived Storms
During the early part of this CEN
fury big business was under bitter
attack from the trust-busters. With
masterful hand, Judge Gary piloted
the industrial ship under his COM
mand triumphantly through these
dangers. He emerged from the
storm of political and governmental
hostility with the seal of approval
upon the acts and conduct of the
corporation affixed by the Supreme
Court of the United States.
Judge Gary won out by clinging
to a few basic guiding principles.
He early stood for policy of frank
ness with the public against many
of his associates who regarded such
ideas as ruinously radical. He prac-
ticed fair dealing with his employees
and competitors. Eventually it be-
came clear that the Steel Corpora
ton was not commercial octopus,
despite its great size.
Task Different Now
Judge Gary's successors will be
confronted with a different task
than the one he carried to success
ful conclusion. He steered the
great corporation through it's peril
GUS early days and gave a stability
to the entire steel industry which
previously had been in a state of
destructive competition. With this
momentous task accomplished, those
who take up Judge Gary's work will
find 1t possible to devote more inten-
sive attention to the pressing pres
ent day problems. These include
technical research, more economical
production and distribution, and
more aggressive marketing.
The passing of Judge Gary comes
at a time when a new era is dawn
ing in the steel industry. 1t is be-
cause of the amazing success in all
the broader fields of modern eff
cheney in big business of the du
Points that their active entrance into

ton would be regarded fayorably

KNOXVILLE, Tenn, Aug. 3d.
Inscriptions characterized as "blas-

of Sacco and Vanzetti were found
painted on the facade of the First
Baptist Church this morning.
In bright red letters six inches
high the following expressions had
been painted during the night:
"Sacco and Vanzetti we're MUIR
dered."
Immortality is dream"
There is no God"
A large skull and cross bones had
been painted on the floor of the
porch.
Police fingerprint experts were
called to aid in the search for the

Perhaps these men blushed when
questioned about their use of rouce,
but it wasn't noticeable - ,le
evidence was too much in evicence.
They were caught red-handed-not
to mention red faced, red eyed and
red headed. They are, in short,
well-red gentlemen. They told their
story redily, without undue coloring.
They are employees of the Con-
tinental Optical Corporation, 1402
N. Capitol Ave. The rouge is
specially prepared iron rust, used
in the process of grinding and
polishing optical lenses. The method
of preparing the metal is closely
guarded secret, but that doesn't
prevent the rouge" from flying
about shamelessly and coating the
workmen during the grinding pro-
cess.
The rust particles are very mniute
and the substance extremely
delicate. 1t will polish the most
delicate lenses without scratching
them, according to Charles Green,
plant foreman:
Lenses, which later become the
size of half dollars start out the
size of saucers, becoming worn down
under their hombardment of rouge.
Perhaps this characteristic holds a
warning for women, but the odds
are ten to one it will not effect
the rouge sales for 1927.
