possesses everything but a major league pitching staff.
 MT Mack and his pitchers have been confounding our eagle-eyed associates of the press for upward of month of campaigning now and the end is not yet in sight. In fact it is fair to say the As are the real sensation of the American League so far and actually may give the Yankees run for the pennant I say the Yankees because it is distinctly the club for any and all of them to beat, if they want to halt another prospective runaway.
 Young men by the name e Cas- carella, Marcum, Kline, Cain, Ma haffey and Benton, most of them strangers to such altitude, have been doing a succession of pitching tricks under MT. Mack's tutelage while the renowned Grove nurses his sore arm, Walberg does odd pitching jobs and Earnshaw gets belted out of the COX.
 So what price reputation and past performance? Young Joe Cas- carella wins 10 games and loses l6 for Jersey City in the Internation- al league last season, pitching only one shutout all year. But he comes up to the major leagues, with hard ly enough mention for the boys to be sure about spelling his name and starts standing the big fellows on their heads. including a three hit shutout of the formidable Cleve- land Indians.

ATTEMPTS LIFE
 BY EXPLOSIVES

ALAMEDA, Ca-., May 31.-Aban- doning the weird dynamite suicide scheme, Frank Bennett emerged from his automobile and was inn mediately seized by the police, who had been trying all day to talk him out of killing himself by set ting off explosives in his auto by a contraption held in his hand.
 Financial troubles and long list of other troubles in the family led him to decide to attempt to Kill himself.
 Bennett told the police he was an ex-soldier.
 Bennett's auto contained 43 sticks of dynamite and five quarts of nitroglycerine.
 Bennett has a wife and three children.
 Residents in homes in a radius Of three blocks from the auto hur- riedly left the district.

Bill Terry nad the laugh on base balls experts last season. Right now it's anything but a merry matter to Memphis Bill, as he con- templates the cratic and ailing condition of his erstwhile "bis foura pitching staff.
 When Terry calico he roll in the south, pitching looked to be the absolute least of his worries. The regulars all appeared in good health and William Watson Clark was threatening at any moment to re- gain old-time skill.
 In rapid sgccesslon, Clark's come back failed, Leroy Parmalee was knocked out by an appendix oper- ation, and Hal Schumacher failed to show his sensational 1883 form. The great Carl Hubbell alone has performed up to expectations so far but he can't carry the load alone.
 VI d4l JlltoC SdU QCNCiOIJlilNA4to AO4 the world champions the saddest is the inability of Schumacher to hit a real winning stride. Players say the trouble is that Hals sink err has not been sinking and that he is just another batting practice pitcher when this deceptive fea- ture of his delivery fails to func- ton. However, Terry has confi- dence that this young, earnest right handler will snap back into shut out form at any moment.
 The man who may enjoy the heartiest of all laughs at the crit ics this season is none other than the patriarch of Shibe Park, Connie Mack

and does not compare with Japan's navy.
 French interests would be hard hit if Nippon were to throw pro- tectorate over the vast area which for more than century has been a commercial field for Europe. The French trade stake is far inferior to that of the United States, but her colonial possessions surpass Americas.
 In addition, trade with China has been on the upgrade the last two years and business between France and fndo-China amounted to more than a million francs last year
 Business Views Clash
 Indo-China, Frances colonial pearl, lies at Japan's back door step while Tahiti and New Gale donia are within striking distance. France also has a concession in China proper at Kwangchow. These possessions are the governments first consideration when they have to deal with the island empire.
 Business interests, however, fight each other over the Japanese ques- ton. One group of industries hopes to profit by business in Manchu- kuo, and therefore wants France to remain on good terms with Nip pon. Another, fearful of being squeezed out of the Orient by an Asia for -Asiatics' policy, calls for strong language.
 Frances diplomacy is further complicated by her European pol icy of playing along with Russia in the face of the nazi menace. She finds it difficult to be friendly with Russia and Japan at the same time.
 So, for the time being, spokes- men say, the Japanese problem must be straddled, while Uncle Sam keeps them in check"

LIVED TO BE 104 YEARS OLD
Mrs. Margaret West Died Friday
Near StockIey. Sussex County

Near StOckley, sussex County
Mrs. Margaret West, said to be
Delaware's oldest woman, who had
lived to celebrate her 104th birth
day, died Friday afternoon at the
home of her son, Garfield West,
near Piney Grove, in the Stockley
area. She was buried Monday af-
ternoon in McCauley's M. E.
Churchyard. Mrs. West was the
widow of Stockley West, many
years ago a widely known farmer,
near Georgetown. She apparently
was in health until about several
days ago when she was taken i'll.
She gradually weakened until
death came. Mrs. West was the
Oldest mother in Delaware and
probably the oldest resident, SO far
as records are available. She cele-
brated her 104th birthday ami
versary on June 18. She was able
to see without the aid of glasses,
ate, slept and heard well. Fond
of the old-time Wesley revival
meetings, and thoroughly enjoying
campmeetings, Mrs. West spent
much of the ten days outing at
Carey's Camp, between Stockley
and Gumboro, two years ago. Mrs.
West was grandmother of Charles
Polk Messick, of Trenton, n. j.,
chief examiner and secretary of the
New Jersey Civil Service Commis-
sion, who recently had conferred
upon him the degree of Doctor of
Laws at Rutgers University. She
was great-grandmother of Charles
Polk Spicer, Delaware well-known
boy orator.

Steel made by the addition of ferro
chrome has the advantage that it will
not rust, tarnish nor stain. 1t is un-
effected by weather and corrosion and
requires no plated coating to preserve
it's polish. 1t is easily fabricated, strong
and wear-resistant, radiant and cor
rosion-resistant. It's strength and dur
ability makes possible lightweight con-
struction, comparable in weight with
aluminium alloys, yet possessing far
greater strength.
In addition to the chrome deposits,
Montana possesses in the famous Run
ming Wolf range near Stanford, in the
Belt mountains, one OF the greatest iron
deposits in the United States having
the unique feature of gold content
which makes possible its recovery at
large profit. With nearby supply OF
natural gas, electric power and I'M
limited supplies of coal, together with
lime for fluxing and quantities Of molly
bdenum and other rare metals in the
Neihart district, nearby, Montana has
tremendous opportunity in taking a
dominant place in the stainless steel
industry, according to Major Vance.
Before coming to Montana my at
tention was arrested by the term Treas
ure state said Major Vance in an in
terview recently. Many are inclined
to pass this term over as mere 'Califor-
mia bally-hoo,' but to the mining en-
gineer and geologist, the term Treasure
state means just that. One OF the
many treasures of Montana, not SO
generally known, is chromite. Because
of my connection with the chrome in
dustry had occasion to visit the mines
of Montana Chrome, Inc, in the Bear
tooth mountains on the wonderful gov
ernment-built Red Lodge-Cooke City
highway. To those Of your readers to
whom chromite means nothing, may I
