EarIham Students Once More
Ike Up Routine Life at
The institution.
MANY TEACHERS ENROLLED

REGULATIONS were resumed at Earl
ham college today after the spring va
cation period of week. There is an
increased number of students and pros
poets are favorable to a splendid term.
A large number of school teachers are
among those enrolled. The new re-
quirements Of the state board of edu-
cation, will be of benefit to Earlham,
as that institution always has made a
special appeal to school teachers. A
number of students during the winter
and fall term did not return for the
spring semester.

Declined Her Own Medicine.


There is always more or less talk
current about abollshing position and
dispensing pelf. The trouble is to
know just where to begin the destruc-
tive reconstruction and to find reform
ers who are willing themselves to be
reformed. An English great lady was
once entertaining the labor member of
parliament, Henry Broadhurst, the
Duke of Argyll and others at her coun-
try seat. She was a strong Liberal
and one evening inveighed against the
house Of lords. 1t would be swept
away If it did not reform, she said
with fervor.
Yes" agreed Broadhurst. land how
will you like that, Mrs. Pr"
Lady p, IL you please, sir" instant
ly corrected Broadhurst's hostess
drawing herself up haughtily.

BOWLING BALLS.
The Process Of Making Them Nseessi-
tates Slow Work.

kdkcs Sio~ NNOINs
A bowling ball looks as If it were
easy to make, yet its manufacture in
wolves a long process covering period
of three days. The actual time put upon
it is only a matter of three hours, but
the work is slow and requires long
waits between each step toward compile
ton. A log free from knots and cracks
is first cut into pieces a trife larger
than the diameter of the ball after it is
finished. This allows for two little
projections on either side called bits"
where the clamps Of the lathe hold the
block Of wood while revolving at light
ming speed under the keen edged tool
cutting into the hard fiber like a sharp
knife slicing fresh cheese
This preliminary turning and trim
ming occupy only few minutes,
when the block is shaved and pared
down to the required size. The bits
then are cut off and the whole thing
sandpapered. A coat of shellac is ap-
piled, and the ball is put one side to
dry. 1t then gets another sandpaper-
ing. This is no sooner done than the
workman again carefully applies the
shellac brush. When the shellac dries
the second time, the surface is rubbed
with oil. The work doesn't stop then.
for the moment the oil has dried the
ball gets another vigorous sandpaper-
ing. Then for the last time it gets
more shellac. When thoroughly dry.
the sphere is ready for the two holes
to be cut for the bowler's thumb and
index finger. The last stage of the labo-
rious process is the polishing, which
gives the ball the appearance 1t has
when it reposes on the rack waiting to
be sent crashing down the alley.
Sometimes there is considerable
waste in cutting up the logs because of
cracks and assures in the wood. On
this account an ordinary sized log may
yield only one block sound enough to
put on the turning lathe, while it ought
to make six or seven. The life of the
average bowling ball is about two
years. The best balls cost So or Sc,
while the cheapest scale down near the
dollar mark.

The Only Dioestihle Kind.

A young man who is striving for po-

called upon to do considerable public
talking was recently waited upon by a

Railroads Hold Stock.
The commission presents statistics
to show that the stock of the express
companies is largely controlled by the
railroads.
1t is shown by its investigation, the
commission says. that express rates,
especially for short distances on 10
cal traffic, are just about what they
were many years ago. These rates
have been maintained despite the fact
that business has been increasing at
an amazing rate. The commission
submits that while expenses increase
as traffic increases, they increase by
no means in the same proportion.
The commission shows that the rates
in this country are much higher than
charged by foreign express companies.
