THAN THAT OF ANY OTHER Represent INVENTION MARCHES ON Take it from the several hundred devotees of the sport in Juneau, bowlir 2 grand pastime. Through the long winter, thes never a night but what bowling balls are rolling the alleys here and pins clattering as if in echo of the Catskill thunder which Rip Van Winkle heard To thousands of people this sport of bowling comes as naturally as ABC. But the ABC of the ten-pin alley is far from simple. The initials stand for the American Bowling Congress ich is now holding its 39th annual world’s bow champion- ship tournaments in Cleveland The organization is probably the largest in the sporting world. During the 58 days of the Congre no less than 23,000 participants will roll (with bowl- ing balls) for the $184,000 in cash prize: It is ex pected that 150,000 fans will be attracted That is big-time bowling, but even bowling it enjoyed in Juneau, bowler, however inexpert, many pleasant healthful even On the batter gleaming alleys at Cleve- land, or on the t the Brunswick and two at the Elks Club here in remote Alaska, bowling is still America’s greatest indoor sport small-time as affords the is and a of 52 at DOWN THE ALLEYS The southern district conference of the National Inventors Congress having been duly called to order in Oklahoma City, Okla., Mr. Albert Geise of Benton Harbor, Mich., rose to announce that “1,810 people each lost an eye in 1938 because of cows switching their tails,” and that such should not be. He thereupon offered his patent cowtail holder, amid loud applause. Objection was made that when a cow could not flick flies off herself with her tail she would try to kick them off with the hind foot near- things est the milker. A momentaty damper was cast over the conference. Then arose Mr. William Vernia of Odebolt, Iowa, to state that he had perfected an “anti-cow-kicker,” which, when used in combina- tion with Mr. Geise's anti-cow-switcher, made milk- ing one of the most salutary of occupations. Perhaps this was the high point of the confer- ence. Certainly it was such for all those present who had ever attempted to milk cows, either on the right or the wrong sfde. Nothing so detracts from the milker’s earnest effort to induce a cow to “let down” as does being switched in the eye or kicked in the medulla oblongata, Such occurrences are also bad for the milk But it should be noted that Mr. David E. Wilson of Santa Monica, Cal, fixing the assembly with what one hopes was a magnetic eye, brought out “a clown- faced gadget that sticks out its tongue and emits a hearty Bronx cheer,” the same to be used by motor- ists to discourage other motorists from sounding their horns unnecessarily For the most part inventors have been hunted out of their garrets and barns and herded into great laboratories. It out of the laboratories that we get, or will get, such things as television, airplanes that fly eight miles a minute lous new cures for old diseases But it is a good thing that there are some ma- and seemingly miracu- verick genit who refuse to be corralled. A little apart from the rush and roar of progress they ply their useful trade. It is to them, perhaps, that we must look for the ultimate victories of man over ' %roscope nature—for cqllar buttons that will not roll under “The stars incline for spectaces that will not get lost when | but do not compel” grandpa puts them down, for something that will things, ring a warning bell when Uncle Alfred has taken all he can conveniently hold, for an alarm clock that will not wake people up in the morning.

In fact, it may be said that the effect produced by the original Gilbert and Sulli- van half a century ago can now be duplicated only by a kind of jitterbug Gilbert and Sullivan. If this be treason, the devotees will have to make the most of it. We need not ask if this be progress. The simple truth is that our tempo is faster than that of the Victorians, our taste in rhythm more intricate. want more noise, quicker and jerkier movement; in short, more excitement. Does this craving come from familiarity with our new machines or from some more subtle cause? The United States Gov- ernment, as mentioned above, refuses to throw light on this question. It is something to think about, and pe ps more important than politics. We know only that things have changed.
