COURSE OF A PITCHED BALL.
Why Straight Fast One Jumps Side
ways In the Air.

That a pitched baseball curves in the
is moving because of the spin-upward
if the twist given by the pitcher is up
ward toward the right if the twist is
to the right, and so on-is matter Of
experience that is quite comprehensi-
BILE, but how a hard pitched ball should
jump sidewise in most irregular
manner although pitched straight
without spinning is certainly puzzling
In the Journal of the Franklin Insti-
tute Professor w. S. Franklin of Lee
high university expounds the phenome-
non as well as the philosophy of twist
ed balls, Multitudes of fans who
have always supposed that the battling
qualities of straight pitched ball
were due simply to its swiftness never
suspected this eccentricity. Professor
Franklin states the case in this way:
Consider a very smooth ball which is
moving through still water without
spinning. There is certainly no more
reason why the ball should jump to
the right than to the left Therefore it
must continue to move straight for
ward. That is good logic. But such
ball is no more subject to logic than is
a sharp stick. The fact is that the ball
does jump sidewise and in a most ir
regular manner This may be shown
by dropping a smooth marble in jar
of still water The marble goes nearly
straight for several inches and then
suddenly jumps sidewise. Similarly a
smooth baseball jumps sidewise irreg-
ularly as 1t moves through the air If
the ball is not spinning
The explanation lies in the fact that
a rapidly moving stream of air splits
when it flows past ball with unstable
dividing lines or vortex sheets. The
unstable sheet will squirt now upward,
now downward. The condition is the
same when the ball splits the air and
is shunted in glancing manner past
the bat. The only requisite for this
battling effect is power in the pitchers
arm.

LYNCH LAW FOR LABOR.
Workers Have No Rights That Ars
Not RuthIessly Violated.


When the South African authorities
secretly exiled ten labor leaders they
did more than rid themselves tempo
rarily Of a few troublesome agitators.
They put stigma upon free govern
ment They proclaimed the inadequa-
cy and inequality of law.
Public officers who resort to such ar
bitrary measures are either ignorant,
cowardly or corrupt They are igno-
rant Of the powers of society if they
think that they act under necessity.
They are cowardly IL they prefer tyr
amy in the dark to justice in the
open. They are corrupt if through def
erence or persuasion they yield to the
rich and influential because they are
rich and influential.
In this instance, as in most of the
similar cases reported in the United
States, the authorities served only the
employer They did not proceed ac-
cording to law, but iii response to fear
favor and force. They wiped out CON
stitutions and statutes and courts and
rights by summary process, just as, in
the interest Of mine owners, has been
done recently by petty officers in West
Virginia, northern Michigan and Colo
RADIO.
The perils of modern society are
many, but is there one having greater
possibilities of evil than that which in
labor disputes subjects the bone and
sinew of country to outawrv. ban

cRITICISING A CRITIC.
Points For the Purist Who Found

To look for and find in masterpieces

cupation that must have it's mysterious

the task would not command all the
time and labor that are devoted to it.
nor would every such discovery be so
exultingy proclaimed. This condition
is based, or, rather. It's repetition, by
the letter in which correspondent
confessed that, having heard verbal
perfection ascribed to Gray's "Elegy,"
he was moved carefully to examine the
verses on the chance of proving this
praise undeserved And he did, he
thinks, having found no less than two
errors in the lines:
Their name, their years. spelt by the un-
lettered muse
The place of fame and elegy supply

thority declares, for the reason that

names, and many holy text being

teach"
Now. just why Gray put the word
''name" In the singular and not in the
plural might be made the subject Of in
genious inquiry, with any one of half
dozen sufficient explanations as recon-
pense and all inconclusive but to see
force in the diversity of village patro-
uymics that requires more than inge
nuity; it demands perversity. As for
"many a holy text" that does indeed,
the grammarians say, insist that a
verb in immediate sequence be singu
lar Even the grammarians admit
however, with innumerabe writer's of
both verse and prose, that if the verb
be in a later clause the plural idea in

PROTECTION OF CHILDREN.
New Bill Before Congress to Prohibit
Their Exploitation.

Their Exploitation.
Constructive child labor legislation is
the object Of a bill introduced in CON
gress by Representative A. Mitchell
Palmer. The measure seeks to prevent
interstate commerce in the products Of
child labor 1t represents the thought
of the trustees Of the national child la
Dor committee, which recently decided
to enter the field of federal child labor
legislation.
This bill differs from any bill now
pending.
Mr.. Palmer's bill forbids shipments
from any person, partnership. associa-
tion or corporation or any agent or EN-
ployee thereof manufacturing. produc
ing or dealing in the products of any
mine or quarry in which children un-
der sixteen years of age are employed
or permitted to work at any time, or
from any mill, cannery, workshop, fac
tory or manufacturing establishment
In which children under fourteen years
Of age are employed or permitted to
work at any time or In which children
between the ages of fourteen and six
teen years Of age are employed or per-
mitted to work more than eight hours
in any day or more than six days in
one week or after the hour of Z p. M
or before the hour of Z a. M. of any
day.
The administration OF the proposed
law is nut in the hands Of q hoard con
sisting Of the secretary of labor, the
secretary of commerce and the attor-
ney general.
In discussing his bill Mr.. Palmer
said:
at is believed that this bill meets
the objections made against other
measures that have been introduced
for the regulation of child labor. The
national child labor committee was d.
vided In its attitude toward the Bev-
dorsement of the Palmer bill Through
wide correspondence many able law
yers and high government officials
have agreed that the bill Is constitu-
tional and will be effective In the abo-
lition Of child labor In America

CRUSHING UNioNISM.

The charges against the heads
OF the United Mine Workers, the
charges of conspiring to re-
strain trade and of maintaining
a monopoly of labor.
might well raise doubts and
questionings in the minds of the
public. Should the calling and
effective conduct of strike be
made a conspiracy in restraint Of
trade, should strong union be
declared monopoly of labor, it
will mean the death of trade
unionism. This is hardly to be
desired. Trade unionism pretty
generally represents intelligence
In the calling and settling of la
Dor disputes. 1t represents prog
ress. education and orderliness
even In the disorders arising be-
tween labor and capital. To
crush unionism-and making 1t
ineffective by means Of undue
and legal restrictions Is as good
as crushing It's but to deepen
the chasm between capital and
labor, to make class conflicts In
this country more implacable.-
