FORMS NEW INDUSTRY
Acetylene Developed as Basis of
Synthesis.

SynCneslS.
Acetylene as a basis Of synthesis
has been the lifelong study Of Father
Julius A. Nieuwland Of Notre Dame
University, Nichols Medal winner in
chemistry for 1885.
Perhaps the most interesting point
about these researches, Industrial and
Engineering Chemistry points out. Is
that they were conducted solely for
the satisfaction Of adding to knowl-
edge and that in the hands Of others
they have formed the basis Of a new
industry.

Myril Hoag's change of heart about taking a fling at third base for the New York Yankees may work out to the advantage of both parties.
 When Hoag came up with the Yankees in 1892 after they had out bid the Giants, Braves and Indians for his services to the tune of S65 ,000, he was an outfielder by choice and determined to follow the advice of her father, former Coast League pitcher who is now groundkeeper of the Sacramento ball park.
 My boy" Papa Hoag had said don't let them talk you into play ing any place but the outfield. The fly chasers last longest in this game
 Last spring Manager Joe McCar- thy suggested to Myril that he take a whirl at the hot corner. Young Hoag would have no part of the plan. The only interest he had in the infield was confined to the base paths. He declined to experiment

VARSITY STUDENT COACHES PREPS TO
 STATE MAT TITLE

URBANA, H., April 25.-Baseball and football are the sports Johnny Watt, B, likes to play, but he's famous hereabouts as a coach of Breztling-a sport he never knew much about or ever intended to 2articipate in until he enrolled at he University of Illinois.
 Last spring he took a coaching course from Hex Kenney in the col- lege of physical education. For teaching practice he was assigned e Champaign high school in charge If the wrestling squad. Lester Moy- 1T, Champaign athletic director, had not been at all enthusiastic about the sport.
 But within a year Watt coached he team to the state championship and the biggest point total in the meets history. His squad won 10 cut of Il dual meets, the single loss being by one point to Urbana. That defeat was avenged, however, in the state meet.
 With a job assured for next year at Urbana, Watts biggest ambition now is to make the pitching staff of the Illini varsity baseball team. He used to pitch for Springfield, H., high school and during his senior year the team didn't lose a gams.

THINGS HAVE CHANGED

A year can make whale of dif- ference in any sport, and particu- larly baseball. The 1884 season saw lot of things happening to the Yankee crew. Injuries raised havoc in the ranks and to top it all Babe Ruth moved off to the Boston Braves.
 A peculiar situation faced Hoag when he arrived at camp this spring Only Ben Chauman remained fix ture in the outfield. Earle Combs and Dixie Walker were uncertain ties. Sammy Byrd had been sold to the Cincinnati Reds. At third base things were equally unsettled, with neither Jack Saltzgaver or Red Rolfe up to Yankee requirements.
 Mccarthy merely hinted it might be a good idea for Myril to fool around third base bit in practice. A hint was enough. Now he is all enthused about the prospect Of be- coming an infielder.

MORE CRIME LAW

batch of new crime bills are being presented
to the legislatures all over the nation.
They would tighten up various sorts of regula-
lions which have to do with the punishment of
crime and the treatment of lawbreakers.
Probably they are all good and will help to make
crime less successful and proftable-if they are
enacted and enforced
But as we have said before and many times,
what we really need is not more laws but more
enforcement of the laws we have.
These proposed new laws, if passed and enforced,
may hit a criminal here and there little harder,
but they won't do enough good to pay for all the
bother of getting them passed unless and until u
lot of law enforcement officers get the enforce
ment idea into their heads a good deal more
strongly.
And under those conditions, the laws we already
have could be. made plenty hot for the crooks and
gangsters.
Let's have little more conscientious and dill
gent enforcement of the law as it is
The lack of that is our present fault, and the
condition which most needs attention and correc-
tion.-Rock Hill, S. c., Herald.

Mrs. Ogden Reid, vice-president of the New York

compelling lure and is known, loved, hated for it.

Mrs. Reid summed up in her talk what every
reading woman knows. The advertising columns
are carefully read by all women subscribers to the
newspapers. They are full of news of the most
important character and form the market guide
for millions of women in America. The purchasing
itinerary of women through cities and towns is
charted by the news in the advertising columns of
their morning and evening newspapers Without
that news their trip would be hit or miss affair.
With it they know just where to CO. what to look

Second that from the workers standpoint wages

And both of these facts, put together, show thtt
it is a sorry time for the heads of the texthe
unions to be gaily talking of putting on the SHOW
of another textile strike this spring.
The companies whose operations came within
the scope of the Trade Commissions analysis
showed average rates of returns as follows: For
the first six months of 1888, 2.33 per cent; foc
the second half of 1888, 7.04 per cent; for the
first half of 1884, 4.O4 per cent; and for July and
August, 1884, loss of 81 per cent
Returns by forty-four cotton weaving companies
were as follows: For the first half of 1888, log
per cent; for the second half of 1888 7.9S per
cent; for the first half of 1884 1.24 per cent; and
for July and August, 1884, loss of S.44 per
cent.
For the combined spinning and weaving COM
panies, it is stated labors proportion of the to-
tai manufacturing cost was 27.62 per cent during
the first half of 1885, $3.50 per cent for the sec
ond half of that year; 1886 per cent for the first
half of 1884; and 1926 per cent for July and

FURNISHING AN EDITOR"

The other day subscriber to newspaper, in a
neighboring town, stopped the paper because he
didn't like something that the editor said.
That is not what editors would call "hot news, "
because it has happened before, but the day has
long passed when the average editor expects people
to agree with him. He sometimes believes that the
people of his community have too much sense to
believe that they hurt him by such action.
AS far as the editor of the Times Democrat is
concerned the people are cordially welcome to
their own beliefs While the editor of this news
paper will express his own ideas he merely does so
for whatever weight they may have with those who
read them. Those who disagree are entitled to
their own opinions, which may be far wiser than
ours but inasmuch as we are putting up the cash
to issue this vehicle of intelligence the dssenters
must not expect to propagate their views to the
exclusion of our honest convictions.-Orangeburg

FOR THE COMMON People

Who says the United States government is more
interested in pigs than babies, and more concerned
for big business than for the common people?
A recent bulletin from the Fedreal Bureau OF
Standards, which for several years has been carry
ing on experiments with silk stockings, for the
benefit of the poor working girl tells US that SOAK
ing the said silk stockings, when new, in solution
OF two teaspoonfuls of aluminium suphate IN half
pint of hot water, is good for the stockings.
We don't know just what this treatment does to
the stockings, to be sure, but we take it that it
makes them better and longer-and perhaps
prevents some of the runs which are the bane
| of the modern well-dressed woman-f we may be-
lieve the illustrated "ads' in the newspapers.
| We offer this comment, however, only as show
ling that the government is actually interesting
itself in the welfare and the necessities of the com
mon people; and that certainly includes silk stool
ings.-Rock Hill S. Co. Herald.
