Mrs. Heins was a little doubtful about the qualifications of this correspondent to write the kind of news wanted. But along with the second batch of correspondence sent in by . this woman, came one story which has convinced Mrs. Heins that they need r- not worry about -her ability to judge x reader interest. The stoiy was as " follows: >•: "Letter to the Editor: "True stories do happen in Rtdfield, „ Iowa.

After dropping their first start of the season last Sunday to the Tigers of Johnsburg, the Shamrocks are now in the .500 class and ready for a victory string. Jim Larkin, on the Shramrock firing line, limited the Boosters to seven hitt, three of which were collected by Jimmy Higgins, lead-off hitter. Larkin and Bill Bolger each had two hits to pace the victors. Bill Bolger pulled down a long drive, with the bases loaded, to end the game and climax an afternoon of classy fielding by the entire Shamrock outfield. Next Sunday the Shamrocks will travel to Algonquin where they will face a former Mc Henry favorite, Carl Hopp. Crystal Lake--4 AB H ' a J. Higffhts, If 5 S , G. Schauble, cf ... .....5 0 0 W.

M'HENRY INDIANS LOSE 5 TO 4 GAME TO ALGONQUIN OWNS The McHenry Indians lost a hardfought ball game at Algonquin last Sunday on the down-river diamond, 5 to 4. Joe Jackson booked up with Carl Hopp in a pitchers' battle that was marred by errors. McHenry's errors seemed to happen just at the wrong time. Jackson uncorked a wild pitch at one point to let in another run and forced in another run when he lost the corners. Benny Britz led the hitting for the Indians with three out of four.

Born in Japan's treacherous, peace-shattering attack on the great American naval base in Hawaii, the phrase overnight became the battle cry and the byword of the nation. As such, it ranges itself beside Such other famous expressions in American history as "Taxation without represenation is tyranny," •'Damn the torpedoes--full speed ahead," "Don't give up the ship," "Lafayette, we are here," and those two others dealing with poignant memories: "Remember the Alamo." "Remember the Alamo" was voiced by Gen, Sam Houston preceding the Battle of San Jacinto, in 1836, when Texas gained its independence from Mexico. Curiously, the World war iwmi to have had, for Americans at least, no one battle cry to ring discordantly on the ears of the foe. The tribute to Lafayette, who aided this nation in the Revolution, was paid by GoL C. E. Stanton before the Frenchman's grave. "Damn the torpedoes--full speed ahead" came from Admiral David' Farragut in the Battle of Mobile m 1804. "Don't give up the ship" was an order from Capt. James Lawrence in the War of 1812. "Keep the guns going," he said. "Fight her until she strikes or stalks." "Don't give *P the ship." The famous Revolutionary war taxation slogan came prior to the nation's fight for indpendence. Countless others were originated during the wars in which the nation took part. The latest, however, looks good lor the duration--and then same. "Remember Pearl Harbor!** Treatment for Broken Leg Always the Same There are five different ways to break a leg. They range all the way from a "green-stick" fracture, where the bone is cracked half through and split longitudinally, to a compound fracture, where the shattered bone juts through the skin. No matter what the break, treatment is always the same: first setting and immobilization, then proper exercise. Recently Southern newspapers hailed the fracture treatment of Dr. Rettig Arnold Griswold of the City hospital in Louisville, Ky. Dr. Griswold's treatment, called "double pin skeletal fixation," is painless, but it looks bad. First a patient's leg is anesthetized. Then two long steel pins, one-eighth of an inch thick, are hammered through the leg, above and below the fracture. A small steel mallet is used, and the pins are driven directly through flesh and bone, protruding about an inch on either side. Next, the leg is set in a "Griswdld machine"--a Twentieth-century model of the rack. The pins ace connected on both sides to a kind of caliper and the leg is gently stretched until the two broken ends snap into place. While a surgeon "reduces" the fracture, his assistant watches the bone through a fluoroscope to make sure the ends are fitted. The leg stays in the machine # day or two. As soon as swelling disappears, a soft plaster cast is wound directly over both leg and pins. Several days later, depending on the type of fracture, the patient is fitted with a "walking iron"--a narrow, U-shaped strip of iron about one and a half feet long. The base slips under the instep like a stirrup, the two long arms are bound with more plaster A person with a bad compound fracture can usually walk on the iron, with a crutch, about ten day* after his accident Just (Released by Western Newspaper Union.) That 'Brave Engineer' THOUSANDS ON STRIKE Jenkins was in a humorous mood the other evening when he returned home from the city; but there can be no excuse whatever for the villainous wheeze which he perpetrated upon his long-suffering spouse, and it is not surprising that she spoke to him no more that night. "1 have some astonishing news for you, Maria," he said. "In addition to the fear of war, we are on the eve of a great strike in which thousands upon thousands of hands will be involved." "What a dreadful thing!" ejaculated his unsuspecting victim. "When is it to take place?" "This very night, my dear," answered Jenkins, gravely. "At midnight thousands of clock-hands will point to the hour, and it will strike twelve." DO IT AT HOME Big Air Rings to Dispel Smoke in Factory Areas PITTSBURGH, PA.--"Smokeless rings" projected from ""guns" may soon be used to dispel smoke in industrial areas, Dr. Phillips Thomas, research engineer for the Westinghouse Electric Manufacturing company, believe*. Telling of experiments with the flcfiae, Dr. Thomas described how artificially - created "whirlwinds" may be hsed to blow factory smoke high into the atmosphere and thus provide clean air in industrial cities. By means of a metal drum, which, when tapped with a hammer, creates rings of air, Dr. Thomas has blown oat candles and rung gongs 100 feet away. A special air-ring projector, developed by Westinghout, can, when struck with a heavy hammer, deliver an air ring powerful enough to throw a man off balance at 20 feet. Dr. Thomas reported that in-.the Westinghouse research laboratories scientists are studying the possibility of utilizing the more powerful of these vortex rings to blow giant puffs of factory smoke into the air. "Such a method of smoke elimination would outmode ugly smoke stacks and perhaps make powerplants and mills welcome near industrial areas as clean, streamlined buildings," he said. British Chemist Invented Synthetic Rubber in 1882 Many people know that most of Germany's army trucks, armored cars, gun carriages and motorcycles roll on synthetic rubber. Fewer people are aware that throughout U. S. industry for some time synthetic rubbers--expensive but highly resistant to oil, acid, sunlight, waterhave been doing many small jobs better than natural rubber can do them. In 1806 a British chemist named Grevilie Williams broke down natural rubber by distillation, obtained a hydrocarbon compound called iso» prene. In 1882 William Tilden, also of Britain, made tsoprene by cracking turpentine vapor in a red-hot tube. Tbe Germans, blockaded from the natural rubbers of Malaya ami Ceylon, made some solid tires of synthetic rubber in World War I. Polymerization (the process of linking molecules together in long chains) is the key to successful artificial rubber. In natural rubber such molecular chains hold the substance together when ft stretches. When chemists stopped trying to duplicate natural rubber's chemical composition, and set out to duplicate its ! structure and mechanical action, Jesuits followed. -'Bob and I are going to get married and then we're going to camp out for a month and 'rough it.'

Captain Tells How 'M'ne* Came Up and Sank Ship WASHINGTON. -- A Norwegian sea csptain, testifying at an e(fficial investigation that his vessel Juyi been stopped and sunk by a British submarine off the coast of Norway, was interrupted by a German official. "Nonsense!" shouted the German. "There are no British fubmarines off the Norwegian coast. You must have struck a mine." "Very well, then," the captain replied, according to the report received here by the Norwegian News Service. "A mine came to the surface. It halted us, gave us ten mincites to get into lifeboats, and then ran amok into our ship, sinking it." Farmer Finds Vein of Onyx Marble in Oklahoma HOMESTEAD, OKLA. -- C. H. Carey was strolling over his 800- acre farm in northwest Oklahoma when he discovered -some pinkish white rock. He found that with little effort he could chisel the rock into ash trays, lamp stands and fancy paper weights. He sent some of the rock to a chemist in Phillips university in Enid, Okla., and some to chemists at the University of Oklahoma In Norman. Carey, a former member of the Oklahoma legislature, was told by chemists at both schools that he had discovered a fine grade of alabaster, rrftsn failed onyx marble. 'Real McCoy* real McCoy,** meaning something definitely established, beyond doubt, is itself the subject of dispute. According to Alfred E. Smith, former j--camji pf New York state and presidential candidate, the phrase had its origin in a certain wise man in New York. "Tbe oracle of the Bowery many years ago," says Mr. Smith, "was a man by the name of McCoy, so that when any matter came up for discuss ion the expression, 'It's the real McCoy,' came Into being and usually in this manner: 'Well, I will give you the low down on that; I will give you the inside story, the real McCoy.' " Another explanation finds its origin is the name of Kid McOoy, middleweight boxing "champion," who fought lustily, made and lost a fortune, married nine times, served a prison term for killing a sweetheart and died a suicide last year in protest against the "world's madness." Decades ago (legend states), while fighting in New York, Kid McCoy (Norman Selby) heard a boxer in San Francisco was using the same ring nami, He rushed to the Pacific coast and had himself introduced as "Che resl McCoy." Esith worst Ib Taberealosls War Citing the case of the earthworms as the one tiny gleam of hope in the fight to find some curative drug for tuberculosis, Dr. Kendall Emer> son, managing director of the Ns tional Tuberculosis association, ratlined the many years of research that have gone before and are yel to come before a tuberculosis cure is discovered.

But we do know that it is a substance, almost unknown, which has a powerful action oo germs.

After living in the infected soil, we found the earthworms alive and cheerful and fully without tuberculosis." Partieolar Diner--Two- eggs, please. Don't fry them a second after the white is cooked.
