PRESIDENT Elmer Z. DUNCAN of the
National Bowling Association. the east
ern governing body of the tenpin
pastlme, has improved the machine
which he has invented and exhibited at
the 1914 national and American bowling
tournaments, designed to do away with
'dodo" and loaded ball trickery.
Ihe machine is mainly for locating
and weighing the amount of unbalance
in bowling ball and is designed es-
of the National Bowling Association
against more than three ounces of ex-
cess weight on one side OF ball as
compared with the opposite half The
device also measures the ball as to
the rule against more than twenty
seven inches circumference, and when
placed on any platform scale the test of
not more than sixteen pounds is made
With the additional rule as to unbal-
ance three tests are required, and at
a big tournament. where the paddock
man sometimes has to pass upon eighty
balls in twenty or thirty minutes.
speed is a consideration and this ma
chine provides for all three tests in
one act and without removing the ball
from it's seat.
on one rigid foot and two thumbscrews
and is fitted with two spirit levels act
Ing at right angles. SO that the whole
device may be made level always on
any taDle TeRarQleSS OF the table. Two
standards rise from the base and sup
port a swing resting thereon in pro-
tected knife-edge steel bearings. This
swing is made very sensitive by coun-
terbalancing weights which extend up
ward and are adjustable. A rounded
seat forms the bottom of this swing,
and into this seat the ball is placed
To degree all balls are untrue as to
balance. and this machine will i'm
mediately show which side or half of
the ball is heavier, and feeling" will
locate the heaviest spot. An arm, car
rying a weight holder and attached to
the swing, is the indicator and slitted
weights, graded down to one-eighth
ounce. are provided to weigh the exact
amount of "excess weight effect" on
the circumference of the ball

'If you want to know what the United
States means to all the Americas" said
The Washington times., 1915-05-24

spurring you on, II we might, by so
handsome jealousy as that 10 excel us.
II am so keenly aware that the basis
Of personal friendship is this competi-
tion In excellence, that I am perfectly
certain that this is the only basis for
the friendship Of nations, this handsome
rivalry, this rivalry in which there Is
no dislike this rivalry in which there
ia nothing but the hope of common
elevation In great enterprises which we
can undertake In common.
There Is one thing that stands In our
way among others-for you are more
conversant with the circumstances than
! am; the thing I have chiefly In mind
Is the physical lack OF means Of com
munica tion. the lack of vehicles, the
lack of ships, the lack of established
routes of trade, the lack of those Things
which are absolutely necessary II we
mate commercial relations with on one
another; and / am perfectly clear IN
my Judgment that IL private capital
cannot soon enter upon the adventure
of establishing these physical means OF
communication. the government must
undertake to do so.
ut cannot indefinitely stand apart
and need each other for the lack OF
what can easily be supplied, and II one
instrumentality cannot supply It; then
another must be found which will sup
ply It. We cannot know each other
unless we see each other; we cannot
deal with each other unless We COM
municate with each other.
Must Be Understood.
80 soon as we communicate and are
upon a familiar footing of intercourse
with one another. we shall understand
one another, and the bonds between the
Americas will be such bonds that no
influence that the world may produce
in the future will ever break them.
IF I am selfish for America, l at least
hope that my selfishness is enlightened.
The selfishness that hurts the other
party Is not enlightened selflshness. II
were going upon a mere ground of
selfshness, l would seek to benefit the
other party and so tie him to myself;
so that even If you were to suspect me
of selfshness, 7 hope you will also sus-
pect me of intelligence and Of knowing
the only safe way for the establishment
of the things which we covet as well
which we desire and which we would
feel honored Il we could earn and win.
Il have said these things because
they will perhaps enable you to under
stand how far from formal my welcome
to this body Is. 1t is a welcome from
the heart, it Is a welcome from the
head. 1t is a welcome inspired by what
! hope are the highest ambitions for
those who live in these two great conti-
nents, who seek to set an example to
the world in freedom Of institutions,
freedom of trade, and intelligence of
mutual service"

assembled in the Pan-American Union
building.
The part that falls to me is very
simple. but a delightful, one" the
PRESIDENT said in opening his address.
1t Is to bid you a very hearty well
come. indeed. to this conference. The
welcome Is the more hearty because
we are so convinced that a conference
like this will result in the things that
we most desire. I am sure that those
who have this conference in charge
have already made plain to you its
purpose and its spirit.
For Common Interest.
SITS purpose Is to draw the Ameri-
can republics together by bonds of
common interest and of mutual un-
derstanding; and we comprehend.
hope. just what the meaning of that
Is. There can be no sort of union of
a
ploitation on the part of any person
connected with a great conference of
this sort. The basis of successful
commercial intercourse Is common in
terest. not selfish interest. 1t is an
actual interchange of services and of
values; 1t Is based upon reciprocal re-
lations and not selfish relations.
1T Is based upon those things upon
which all successful economic inter
course must be based. because selfish
ness breeds suspicion; suspicion. hos
tility; and hostility. failure.
We are not, therefore, tryns 70
make use of each other, but we are
trying to be of use to one another.
1t Is very surprising to me. 1t Is even
a source of modification, that con-
ference like this should have been SO
long delayed. that it should never have
occurred before. that 1t should have re-
quired a crisis of the world to show
the Americans how truly they were
neighbors to one another.
III there is any one happy circum
stance. gentlemen, arising out OF the
present distressing circumstances OF the
world, 1t Is that 1t has revealed us to
one another; 1t has shown US what
It means to be neighbors. And I can
not help harboring tHe hope, the "cIy
high hope that by this commerce OF
minds with one another, as well as
commerce in goods. We may show the
world in part the path to peace.
Points Way To Peace.
TT would be a very great thing Il
the Americas could add to the dis
tinction which they already wear thi

nent peace. The way to peace for us
at any rate, Is manifest. 1t is tn
kind Of rivalry which does not involv
aggression.
ut Is the knowledge that men ca,

other and nations of the greatest serv
ice to another when tho jealousy be
