EYEX UP SERIES Backed by several hundred rooters who made the trip in autos and on the trac- tion the Staleys evened the series with the Sangamos on Sunday, ^la.y 1, with a 2 to 0 victory over the "meter workers." Happy Jack Kotzeluick, with as fine a change of pace as one would care to see outside of the big show, was the main cause of the triumph, for the former West Texas Leaguer held his opponents to seven scattered hits. They were only CHARLES SCHAFER able to secure two in one inning on two One of the features of the Staley team's play occasions and Kotzelnick breezed home this season has been the work of Charles Schafer, the youngster from Frankfort, Ind., who was a winner. secured to cover the short field berth with the After having trimmed Clyde Seib and switch of Halas to the outfield. not knowing much about "Happy Jack" Charles covers a world of territory and can throw the agate from any position and with a the Springfield fans got a little chesty world of speed.

Schultz fanned, Pahlman took Kissin- ger's high fly and Schaffer retired the side by taking in Williams' mean Texas leaguer. We won the contest in the sixth. Woodworth walked. He went to second on a passed ball and registered when George Halas poled a double. Demmitt singled to right, but Halas was caught off third after he had rounded that sta- tion. Eddie Hemingway cracked out a single, sending Demmitt to third, and he continued the journey across the count- ing station when H. Ford couldn't keep the elusive sphere in his hands. It was a great triumph for the starch- makers and their supporters were a happy lot when they left the park. The Sangamos will come to Staley field in July and expect to bring the whole town over for the red hot series. Score: R.H. E. !

FRANK HIGGINS On April 13 last our old friend and fellow worker, Francis J. Higgins, died in Chicago, 111. The news of his death came as a very sudden shock and is a bitter bereavement to his many friends in Decatur and elsewhere. Francis J. Higgins was born in Jack- son, Mich., in 1851, coming to Chicago while a young man. He first began work with Mr. Charles Pope as Manager of his Malt House, located at State and Schiller Streets, Chicago. Developing a very marked mechanical ability, he soon began specializing in design and con- struction of factory buildings, handling practically all of Mr. Pope's extensive construction work—first a Malt House in East St. Louis, a Glucose factory at Ven- ice, 111., a Glucose factory at Geneva, 111., and a Beet Sugar factory at Riverdale 111. Frank was General Labor Foreman during the first year or two of work at the Argo Plant of the Corn Products Company. He planned and rebuilt the Cardinal Glucose Plant at Cardinal, On- tario, and designed a Glucose factory Frank Higgins which was afterward erected in London, England.

When all industry awak- ens to this condition common to cheni- i, al industries—namely, that a change of mind is a sign of progress, and during times of business depression with con- seouent strenuous competition is abso- lutely necessary to the existence of many concerns—the return from such periods to normal conditions can never be long- delayed. There is material for thought then in the fact that chemical plants are never built, but building.—Chemical and Metal- lurgical Engineering.

WEDDING BELLS Avory and Kate put one over on every- body when they slipped away quietly May 26 and were married in St. Louis. We all wish the "Panama Kid" and Mrs. Vc'^'ade lots of happiness. This event gives George Halas un- disputed right to the title of the only bachelor in the ball club. Don't you One of our Foremen, (He had more hair then feel awfully solitary, George? than he has now.)

NEVER BUILT, BUT BUILDING Industrial plants operating in the pro- duction of materials where chemical pro- cesses are involved are ever in a state of flux as regards the layout of machinery, apparatus and buildings. New findings through both research and accidents of operation are continually showing that a rearrangement of the flow or an addi- tion of new features will effect savings in production which more than offset the cost for reconstruction of existing plant. The construction foreman has become a permanent member of the staff of every important chemical manufacturing insti- tution and is usually an important one. He is continually employed in adding towers, flues and buildings, or placing ne\ apparatus designed to improve the plant. His repairs often amount to a complete rebuilding of old units. This condition is accounted for when it is borne in mind that the industry is devel- i_ LY oping at an enormous rate and on a broadening scale and that the value of GETTING- B«CK'TO scientific control is just coming to be EVEN w^iTeRS TMRNK, YOU recognized fully by the directors of those industries in which timeworn, so- TOR ft 9VMRTER.

That some slandering- mortals accused the Man in the Moon of being- the possessor of a brand new choo-choo; That the darned thing: is neither an auto nor a choo-choo, but a green-eyed monster gen- erally called a Ford; That instead of a choo-choo, what he needs is an aeroplane to make the trip to Mars or descend to Mother Earth. That A. O. Snelson indignantly denies he was or used to be a goat herder in Arkansaw; That he knows where that story originated and if the Oil House Foreman tells any more lies about him he will prosecute him for slander; That evolution has worked wonders with both of them and cavemen are a curiosity in this enlightened age. That Archibald West makes a daily pilgrimage to the roof of No. 10 Building; That in the lovely month of June he expects to get married and in the meantime he is a sun-worshiper; That looking west from the roof of No. 10 Building he can see the mansion where his "yum-yum" goddess lives. That the Little Red School House is extolled by many of your famous orators; That the Little Red Auto has played havoc with the morals taught in the Little Red School House; That even the wild untamed Taurus has a mad spell when he sees red. ! That Windy Lotshaw, your popular umpire, is on the square and calls them as he sees them; That to err is human and mistakes will happen, but the baseball bugs are fickle; That the story of the mortal who tried to please everybody—pleased nobody—and lost his donkey in trying, does not apply to Windy. That Cap Whitten took a three-days lay-off to move into the flat he was making goo-goo . eyes at for years; That he says his collection of furniture, bric-a-brac, souvenirs, and umbrellas are won- derful; That he was so tired after three days' hard work that it took him one hour to carry two umbrellas one block to his new home. That the copper-headed cobra is supposed to be the most venomous snak'e in existence; That the human who slanders his fellow-mortals is more venomous than the cobra: That the copper-headed cobra or a rattlesnake will give warning before attacking, but the human snake uses invisible poisoned gas.

Gentleman.:- We are pleased to advise that after testing out your corn syrup find that in using your product in the manufacture of fondant, the fondant is lighter in color, firm and smooth, holding moisture well. It does not get hard or dry after standing any length of time to mellow. Find that we can use 5c/i more than we formerly used in making a 100$ toatch of fondant. It is sweeter in taste than any other corn syrup we. have "been using and an excellent product to use in hard goods, does not cook dark and has proven satisfactory in every respect. It gives us pleasure to recommend your product. Very truly yours,
