Anti-knock fuels owe their being
largely to the luck factor. A worker
in the General Motors Research Lab
oratory one day had crazy hunch:
perhaps coloring matter would stop
gasoline from knocking. He asked the
chemical stock room for materials that
might color gasoline. OF the thou
sands of chemicals on hand the stock
keeper happened to pick iodine 1t

search which led to the finding of
much better substances.
Luck has played a major role in the
mechanical field. Even the electric
meter in your home is there because
of an out-and-out accident. Oliver B.
Shallenberger, Westinghouse engi-
neer, dropped small spiral spring
into the mechanism Of an old-fash-
ioned arc light. 1t landed in a mag
netic field and began to revolve! Here
was a perfect measure for electricity.
Hundreds of examples might be
cited to show where luck provided us
with new comforts, new goods and
new weapons against disease. Luck,
in fact, provided us with a place to
live. Columbus was searching for a
route to the East Indies when, quite
by accident, he discovered America.

The indians Started II

LONG before the white man came
to the New World, the American
Indians set up gourds or calabashes on
tall poles near their lodges to attract
the martins The Southern Negro,
with his peculiar spiritual klnship to
wild creatures. followed this lead and
now, from Mexico to middle Canada,
the purple martins, forsaking their
ancient nesting habits, depend on
the benefcence of man for their spring
and summer homes.
My own houses are simple repllcas
of those of the Indians. | cut two tall
pine saplings and nailed several cross
pieces near the top of each. From
these crosspieces | suspended gourds,
using heavy telephone wire. The open
ings in these gourds may be either
circular about two and one-halt
inches in diameter - rectangular or
roughly triangular. 1t seems to make
no difference. Small holes must be
bored in the bottoms of the gourds
because martins will not tolerate
damp quarters, and through these
holes any water that blows in may
quickly drain away.
Much more elaborate and orna-
mental tenements are often construct
ed. These should always be set high,
in a clear space. The birds do not take
to heavily forested areas and prefer,
above every other location, wide,
meadowlike river valleys. They must
have access to bit of mud to use in
nest building In case one is bothered
with starlings or English sparrows
it is best to keep the openings closed
until the martins arrive.
Nesting begins in South Carolina
during April, and is progressively
later as one moves north. Egg dates

decided today that maybe the
smart thing for him to do would
be to join the army.
The 215-pound first baseman re-
f1ected deeply upon the kind ct
fate that saw him. after seven
years in the majros, sold by the
Chicago Cubs to Minneapolis, and
said:
IF l don't make a connection
with a major league club and if l
don't get a satisfactory contract
with Minneapolis l think l may
Join the army if l can get in for
one year"
After that accumulation of 'ifs"
the man whose antics around first
base have delighted thousands.
came to dead stop. He rubbed
his chin with a hand big enough
for an ordinary man to sit in.
He ventured the opinion that he
had four or five more years Of
big time baseball in his system.
Then he plunged on:
But if l Joined up maybe I'd
have to serve three years. I heard
that's what you have to do if you
join. III investigate I wouldn't
mind joining up for one year but
then we might get in a fight and l
don't know when I'd get back"
Then something occurred to him.
He began to grin.
IF l went in the army now it
might be a real good idea. This
year the majors are all stocked
up on players. If I went in now,
by the time l was getting out next
year lot of those other ones
would be going in and there might
be some openings"
Il have a lot of troubles" he
said. Il have maybe a couple of
deals hanging fire. And I'm think
ing about the army. And l like to
play baseball. have a lot of things
to think about
MINNEAPOLIS offered to release
Bonura if he could make deal
satisfactory to himself and the
club. So far no deal.
