This is an honor fre- quently conceded to Lynn by electrical magazines. The only fly in the ointment is that Richmond, | Be aaN: ORG hat Va., beat Lynn to it by eight months. The electric; In 1907 an investigating COMmIBS ION found aaa street car syst f Richmond, first in the United | the national game of. baseball” originated with) satin aici anaes lthe Knickerbock Club, which was organized in} States, began gperation in Feb., 1888. It’s a good deal like the steam engine. James} Watt, Scotchman, born in 1736, is honored pop-! ularly as its inventor. Yet the turbine steam en- gine was described more than 2000 years ago by Hero, of Alexandria, Egypt, in his book, “Pneu- matica.” Possibly some one had a steam engine 2000} years before that. | Man progresses so slowly, one generation im-| proving another’s devices, that it is next to im- possible to trace anything to its real “original source.” Electric street cars are so common today, that! it seems.almost impossible that they did not exist until Lynn and Richmond introduced them 33) years ago. It is so with most of the wonderful | devices that are so commonplace in our every-day | lives. | We celebrate an invention like the street. car. But those who think that the American tendency | to congest in cities is a peril have much on their) side when they argue that the street car is the ally, of congestion. The city, however, is not a lasting phenomenon. In time, allcities will stop growing. An age of| villages will follow;with factories in the open coun- ‘try. The value of electric transportation will be even greater then than it is néw. i It is only by adequate transportation, such as} that afforded by the electric cay running on) tracks, that a population living in the country. could ‘keep its economic machine functioning. Maybe the motor trucks will displace the electric; street car and the rairload. First, man walked on his own legs. Then he was carried on a litter borne by slaves. Next he tamed the wild horse, camel and elephant. Later came the inventién of the wheel, which led to the introduction of animal-drawn vehicles. i Many can recall the old-time street cars drawn by horses. Thirty-three years ago, when the electric street car was made practicable, the age of electricity really began. BUY AN AIRPLANE- ; The flying flivver has arrived. It is the Mes- senger plane, weighing only 623 pounds without passengers or gasoline. Lawrence Sperry Air- craft Company, of Farmingdale, Long Island, builds it for the government air service. Auto drivers will be interested in the Messen- ger airplane’s engine. It is three-cylinder, air cooled, 60 horse-power. You can crank. it easily with one hand. Here’s a prediction: Sooner or later, Henry Ford will announce a Ford airplane. Specifica- tions of the Messenger plane must appeal to! Henry: light weight, good engine. Sperry, whose company makes the Messenger | plane, uses one himself, traveling between home| and factory, also to the golf club and on week-; end trips. He says the plane is faster than trains, and eliminates waiting at railroad stations. ‘Says Sperry: “I have landed on country roads, beside ordinary gasoline stations, for supplies, and dropped into many fields of less than 10 acres in size. In all my travels in this plane, landing and taking off in new and restricted places, I have never met with a single accident of any conse- quence. “Even in rainy weather, I prefer this method of transportation to an automobile, because I can keep just as dry, and I do not have to worry about my car skidding. Besides, 1 can make it in one- third of the time.” ‘ The Messenger airplane would not require a peg large garage. Its wing spread is only 20 eet. In compactness, it comes close to the size that will be required when people begin using airplanes as they now use autos.

The} TUK KUK How many football stars know that they arej playing a game invented in China 4618 years ago? | The inventor was Huang Ti, the Yellow Em- |peror, husband of the woman who originated the} isilk worm industry. 1 | Football is the oldest outdoor sport. Compared | iwith it, baseball is a youngster. The first dia- {gram of a baseball diamond was drawn in 1839 by; i Abner Doubleday of Cooperstown, N. Y. j {New York in 1845. Ss ; | | You can, of course, trace baseball back t6 “town ball” of early New England. That, in turn, leads iyou to the English game of “rounds.” But, along-| side football, baseball. is a babe in arms, though fans may insist that it originated before man, among monkeys tossing cocoanuts at each other. | | t Culin,, of the :Brooklyn Institute} he‘nianwhg has traced football back; into China 4618 years ago. He says the Chinese played it with a round Dr. Ste silk clothes: and, when tired, fanned themselves. “T7’uk Kuk” was what the Chinese called foot- ball. The Greeks had a similar game, which some-} how reached them from the Orient. So did the Romans. Ancient Eskimos played it with a moss- stuffed leather ball. | Cromwell was a football fan 300 years ago.: Chaucer and Shakespeare saw the game and wrote delightfully about it. Time and again, English kings put the ban on the gridiron game, fearing it was undermining the game of archery, which developed bow-and-arrow experts for war. The reason football originated in remote anti- quity and was played by every important nation, | is because it embodies every branch of war tactics. The big German drives during the World War were nothing but attempts. to plunge through a line that held. | If an army exposes a flank, the enemy makes an| end run. . : As for artillery, it corresponds to forward) ‘passes. When West Point plays football: with Annap- olis, it is a contest of military tactics between Army and Navy. ‘ 2] That baseball in America has taken the lead in popularity away from the older and military game, | football, simply goes to show that normally we are not a military nation. In a contest, the American jpublic most admires headwork and minute skill— \baseball. +. % #\. CONQUERING Leprosy, mo8t dread disease is being conquered by the chaulmoogra oil treatment.

D., Oct. 31—A new Recorder-Post will rise out of the wreckage of the old. The plant now the property of Attorney Otto Thress, was leased to John B. Brown, former editor and manager, and Ruric M. Pippin. who for the past two years has been connected with the paper. The partners announce that the editorial policy of the paper will b? independent in the true sense of the word and that they will-be under no obligations to any political party, clique or faction. Machinery, dismantled ‘when the executions were levied, is being pul back into place and an effort will be made to issue a makeshift of a sheet this week in order to preserve the legality of the paper. Mr. Brown and Mr. Pippin state that they plan on adding considerable new equipment to the plant which will include a Model 14 linotype and a job press. For the present, atleast, they will endeavor to get out the pa- per alone And hope within the next two weeks to get their equipment ar- ranged so as to permit the issuing of a creditable paper.
