was a plot of ground called e. rink or
bowling green, at each end of Which
was placed a cone, which was the
mark for the bowlers to roll into. The
cones were bowled to from one end OF
the rink and then from the ctsaer.
The object of the game was for one
side to place the ball nearer the cone
than its opponents. Thus the side
bowling would try and knock their
opponents ball away from the cone,
supplanting their own, as in the game
of quoits, the nearer the cone scoring
one point for his team. Skill was re-
quired to bowl so as to get nearer the
cone without knocking the opponsat's S
ball closer.
Later the stone ball was supplaLted
by one made of lignum vitae. The lat
ter being made spherical, the outside
of the tree from which the balls were
made being lighter than the heart, nat
urally gave the ball the desired b:tsis
for curve Some bowlers loaded one
side of the ball with a heavy metal,
so as to obtain the desired effect for
a curve.
The cones were finally done away
with and superseded by stone or
earthen ball about three and one-Ialf
inches in diameter. These new cnes
were known as Jacks" Instead of
having a stationary mark at which
to bowl, the jack was knocked all over
the green. and 1t required strategy
and skill to play good game.
The game was introduced into
America early in the eighteenth CEN
tury. It seems to have been very
popular in New York. In 1892 there
was a locality in New York called
Bowling Green. and it is still known
by that name. From the time that the

he told me story wherein the sur.

"He said that n lawyer defending n

AS general rule the right foot should
be forward with the weight OF the

"The swing which occurs Just be-

of the most difficult things for the new

players letting the ball swing back OF

Bowling is about the most popular
indoor winter sport OF this country.
and Is also one of the oldes: games
known to the civilized world. Our an.
cestors hundreds of years ago INDUCED
in a pastime which, excepting few
radical changes during the last cen.
tury or 80, was substantially the same
as the present game of bowling and
seems to have been Just as popular
with them.
Bowling seems to have been origin
ated early in the middle ages. 1t was
at that time purely an outdoor sport
AS was the rule with everything OF
that period, the sport was known by O
variety OF names. 1t was called bowls.
French bowls" and "carrean.'
Those three names seem to have been
the most common. At that time the
game was very different from the pres
ent sport, but there was much similar
ity. The game was played with teams
as to-day. The balls-or bowls, as
they were then called-were made u
stone, one-half spherical, the Other
half oval shape. This gave the ball &
curve as 1t sped down the bowling
alley or green, as an alley was called
in that day. The scene OF the game

beauty and fineness OF the fabric is
hidden behind paste Of varying

can be entirely overcome by using De-

much more thinly because OF its great

The Congress should consider the ex-
tension Of the eight-hour law. The con-
stitutionality Of the present law has
recently been called into question, and
the supreme court has decided that the
existing legislation is unquestionably
within the powers OF the Congress. The
principle OF the eight-hOur day should
as rapidly and as far as practicable be
extended TO the entire work carried on
by the government, and the present
law should be amended 10 embrace con-
tracts on those public works which the

PRODUCTION OF the oight-hour day should
be the goal toward which we should
