The “situation,” as they see it, is that less interest is being taken in bascball than formerly —was the case. In the good old days the news- papers were encouraged to publish attendance tigures in connection | with the daily games. But that wasa time when the magnates did not !need to be ashamed of the figures. | Of late years the newspapers have not been encouraged to publish such | figures and they are invariably tle of beer that wasn't beer will get | omitted.

Two na- tions sorrowfully contemplate his end. THE NEW ENGLAND AIR MAIL Although the Boston-New York | air mail sustained a drop in pound- age during June, the 20 air mail routes in operation as a whole en- joyed an increase of 5 per cent over the preceding month. The poundage of the New England | line during May was 3,291; durmx‘ June it dropped to 3,060, | This looks as if New England re- mains more economical than the remainder of the country; or it may be due to the natural disadvantage that confronts a comparatively short air‘mail line. Or it may be due to the fact that the commercial inter- ests of New England, important as they are, do not use the air mail as extensively as had been anticipated. The New England route, travers- ing the most thickly populated com- merclal part of the country, carried less poundage than the air mail line between Cheyenne, Wy., and Pueblo, Colo., which traverses mostly open country, Reason for the comparative show- ing is difficult to find. The New England line 18 carrying slightly more than 100 pounds of air mail @ day. The present rate of 10 eents for half an ounce means that 100 pounds brings the govern- ment at least $320 a day. This 15 in theory; in practice more than air mail line divides the mileage.

Bascball in New Britain is gain- ing in interest rather than going in the other direction. There is an astonishing attendance of fans in Walnut Hill park every Tuesday and Thursday evenings, when the Indus- trial league games are hard-fought on the diamonds. There {s a similar heavy attendance each Saturday afternoon, when the City league games are played. Of course, at such times there is no admission fee. But that hasn't anything to do with the interest shown. The people are there and enjoy the eport. There are many more people attending base- ball games in New Britain than ever before, yet we probably could not support a leagle team; lcast, no better than Waterbyry, it what takes place in the brass city can be regarded as “supporting” the | team, | The idea that one can only be interested in somcthing when one is willing to pay money to cnjoy it does nét pass Time 18 money, the eager thousands who follow the locul games yield proof eufficient that baseball is not dead hercabouts. muster. and | SPRINKLING THE KIDS On a hot day some youngsters trek to the wading pool in Walnut of the system of sprinkler service inaugurated by the fire de- partment, go to the five points where water from fire hydrants is squirted up, to fall down with a splash upon the children garbed In bathing suits.

But how many are fair-minded under emotional stress” TWISTS, PLANETARY AND MENTAL According to a story peared, with illustrations, in the Herald recently, the earth's rotation is slowing down; so is that of the moon. In the future both will slow down 80 much that the law of gravi- tation will cause the moon to plunge into the earth. To anyone possessing a scientific notion of how the planetary sys- tem is held together by gravitation and the rotation of its constituent members, the theory sounds reason- able. But before that happens much will occur on this planet; whether the occurrences will be good or bad we fortunately do not know. way, before the moon which ap- i can begin like 75,000,000 years will pass. At least, that is what we remember about the calculation in the story, a few million years more or less will not matter. The earth once rotated much fast- er than it does now; that time was millions of years in the past. Whether it ever rotated 17 times as fast as at present nobody knows. It is interesting to emphasize a speed 17 times greater than at pres- ent in the earth's rotation, because | of the calculations which have been made, Chauncey Thomas, in “Six Pounds Short,” says that it the earth moved 17 times faster than it rotates now, things at the equator would fly off into space; further north from the equator they would ;u‘el;h nothing at all. But at the | poles they would weigh just as much as they weigh now. Today this much is definitely known: That 189 pounds at the poles will weigh only 18§ pounds at | the equator. The poles are four miles nearcr the center of the earth than land at the equator, and that makes a difference in the gravita- tional pull, usually termed weight. Those who are good at figuring and have sufficlent time can try to figure out how much will be lost on a shipment of gold from N York to the equator, baged on the fact that the gold will weigh less at the cquator. Bryan argued about 16 to 1 he did inot take into account that $100,000 worth of gold in Boston would be worth something less in New Or- | leans, 25 Vears Ago Today The permit | building from Main to C seems to be for the hous enough, but Court strect to move the Hart Dlainly | There are no frame | th jor moved therc. ~ The permit move the house has been held up.

They are | a constant danger to others in scarch of game, he says. “From long observation,” writes Mr. Rutledge in Field and Stream, |“T have come to the conclusion th: it is hard to make a hunter. Lacking some inherited instinct, a man may be years in learning how to handle a gun properly and how to follow game. Hunting seems to be a sport | for a limited special class, and it is a great mistake for many to take it up as they would take up golft— just for the exercise. “If a man wants to drive a car.| the state compels him to take an | examination to prove his fitness.

A car really can be safely {ariven by a rather stupid man, but; |hunting always involves the match- ing of a man’s intelligence with that |of a crafty wild creature. To me, most of these habes in the woods are rather pathetic figures. They want the fresh air and the excitement; they like to enjoy the many distine- tions of being good hunters, “It is a fact that there are thous- of men hunting in America to- day who would experience some real difficulty in distinguishing a moose |frbm a caribou, an otter from a | groundhog. a tu burzard from a wild turkey, or. for that matter. |a deer from a man.” VACUUM PRINCIPLE USED IN CASTINGS (Hetal Workers Announce Lafest Meihods Work Well Tolzdo, Ohio, July 14.—M—Man- ufacture of metal castings has been | placed on a quantity ~production | basis through application of the vacuum principle, which revolution- ized the bottle-making industry.

At first it was kinda tough but now I'm used to it and cnjoys going uptown and back with- out picking up nails, ashcans, some- body else’s fenders, and rear-seat drivers. Only sometimes the bot- tom of my hoofs feel like they're in the same shape as the lads that out of Pyle's “bunion derby.” Instead of going into a fill. ing station and digging down in my pockets for the price of 5 gals. of gas and a quart of oil, I now goes into a drugstore and spends the dough on corn plaster and foot-ease remedies. Now I can have a Saturday after noon all to myself, . and not for washing, greasing the flivver, or try- ing to make it hit on at ‘least 3 cylinders. When I hears a tire go “Bang.” 1 grin on account of knows ing it ain’t my tire that gone flat. ter than the kitchen carpet, and fore get they's such things as jacks. in. ner tubes and blow-out patches, In |case of sudden storm 1 seeks shelter under a store awning and gets a kick outa watching some bimbo get. ting soaking wet in struggling to Put up a one-man top that one man couldn’t put up without the help of his friends or relations. I takes great delight in parking in places where no autoist can park without being handed a ticket, such as directly on a corner. or the curb, within a foot of a fire hydrant, et and can even . lean against arking” signs, police alarm boxes, and telephene poles. Already my muscles are becoming flexible. Only yesterday I did a hop, skip and a 4 foot jump outa the way of a de- livery truck that would make a high school star athlete envious and want to take lessons. The truck and a tree goes into a clinch that even a referee couldn’t sparate without the aid of a wrecker. “Lose control of your car?" I asks the driver innocently, secing he wasn't hurt, Veah,” he answers in |a daze, “but only for the time be- ing.” He remarks it's his first acei- | dent and that he takes great pride in bis ability to handle a car. “But unfortunately,” I grins, “They's so many different kinds of pride.” One thing I can’t seem to get away from is the speed mania and getting in “Duteh.” It seems like I'm already getting bow-legged, the result of taking corners at high speed. The other day 1 held out my hand from force of habit as a signal that I was about to turn and some kind Imarted lold gentleman drops a nickel 1t . 1 was so astonished that I -ould hardly say “Thank you." 80 ‘sone told me 1 ought to return the ) kel but I was afraid it might hur the guy's feelings. Anyways it ca.i in handy later at a nearby soda iuin. tain. At another corner I does the same stunt again and accidently pokes some guy in the dinner region. When he got back some of the breath that was knocked outa him he told me enough to fill a tele- | phone book and what he mentioned wasn’t compliments, saying that the next time I pokes him when he ain't looking he's gonna wallop me the length of a side street. I was gonna tell him what I thought of him only he was bigger than me and I didn't want to see anybody get hurt. Another time I hears some copper ask, “Where do you think you are, on a race track?” T stops so quick- ly that I almost collides with the one in front and then feels as foolish as an old bachelor caught in the act of reading love letters when I realizes he ain’'t talking to me, but to some other dizzy galost that's driving through traffic like it's no- body’'s business. It's a great life if you don’t get bumped off, Andy, and even the next door neighbor is pleased that I'm a pedestrian be- cause he claims he can now park on his front verandah steps without worrying for fear it'll be lifted from under him as I swings into the driveway. Noah Count, COMMUNICATED PROPCSED GIFT NOT SWAMP LAND Plainville, Conn., July 13, 1928, Editor of the New Britain Herald, New Britain, Conn.’ My dear Sir: - I note your editorial, “A Park in Plainville,” in which the objection i8 raised that “the ground is some- thing of a swamp part of the time.” “The ground” is not a swamp any of the time. There are two swampy places, but the greater portion of the ground is hard and dry all of the time. There are great possibili- ties because of these well watered places where beautiful lakes can be made at s0 small an expense. The donors realized that Plain- ville had no water of beauty; they saw the possibilities of these well watered places, and considered that feature of great value, They feel, too, that a restored portion of the old Farmington canal will prove of large histc ical interest in the years to come. Most respectfully, PLAINVILLITE. READ HERALD CLASSIFIED ADS
