Johnson told about a test made of
the speed of a pitched ball made by
Nap Rucker of Brooklyn and himself
at the test rooms of the Remington
Arms company at Bridgeport, Conn,
recently.
Johnson sent a ball across the test
room at a speed of 122 feet per sec

113 feet a second The speed of a

volver is 500 feet a second or 8 Il
times that of Johnson's speed ball
A high powered hunting rifle of IS
ca ibre has a velocity of 1000 feet a
second or about 16 Il times Johnson's

The bewildering speed with which
Johnson battles the batter can be bet

 Mrs. Harris has not been able 10 move hand or foot for three years. She has control only over the muscles of her head. There is no hope that she will ever improve. Her condition Is caused by a spinal malady which keeps her constantly in intense pain The disease has spared her reason but this only makes life harder for her by adding mental suffering to physical.
 There Is nothing left which gives her pleasure or even respite from suf fering. Her husband. Louis Harris. clothing salesman. calls on her daily and shows the greatest tenderness but the only effect upon the invalid is to increase her distress by remind ing her of her lost happiness.

When the average sood citizen takes this view of the police N hat can be expected from the crook tAe criminal and the law breaker?
 This contempt for the police force as a whole has been the result of the conduct Of few men high up in the organization.
