thrown the farther 1t can
be batted. You can prove
this to your own satisfac-
ton by throwing a ball

or course, If it is raining
when one OF Babe" Ruth's

drops of water striking the
ball will bring it to the
ground long before II
otherwise would fall. Tho
rain also makes the ball
heavier, and as 1t contains
only so much energy to

slowed up in its flight on

SMILE AWHILE.
A Hopeless Case.

A doctor came up to a patient in a
lunatic asylum, slapped him on the
back and said: well, old man, you're
all right. You can run along and
write your folks that you will be back
home as good as new in two weeks"
The patient went off gaily to write
his letter. He had it finished and
sealed, but as he was about to affix
the stamp the latter slipped through
his fingers to the floor, alighted on
the back Of a cockroach that was
passing and stuck. The patient had
MT seen the cockroach. What he did
see was his escaped postage stamp
z%igzagging aimlessly across the floor
and following a crooked trail up the
wall and across the ceiling.
In depressed silence he tore up the
letter he had Just written and drop
ped the pieces on the floor.

Widow of Former President
Home From Argentine Trip

Mrs. Theodore Roosevelt, widow Of
Colonel Roosevelt, arrived here last
night on the Lamport & Holt liner
Vauban, from Buenos Ayres, having
made the trip to the Argentine and
return on that vessel.
On the journey South she was &C.
companied by her son Kermit, who
left the vessel at Rio de Janeiro, Mrs.
Roosevelt continuing to Buenos Ayres.
Travellers on the Vauban said that
Mrs. Roosevelt was a democratic and
agreeable fellow traveller She left
the vessel soon after it docked in Hobo
ken and went to the home of Mrs.
Kermit Roosevelt, who met her at the
pier.
The Vauban made an unusually fast
run up the Atlantic, her time from
Buenos Ayres to Sandy Hook being
twenty days and two hours Had it not
been for northwesterly gales between
this port and Barbados, her last port
of cali, the Vauban would have broken
her record for northerly run.

Documents That Marked
Birth of U. S. on Screen
Original Parchments To Be
Shown as Offset to Radical
Propaganda

WASHINGTON, Jan. 17.-Recent
activities of radical propagandists led
Secretary Lansing this week to display
Tor the frst time in eighteen years
the original parchments Of the Decla-
Eation OF Independence and the Con-
s'ltusion OF the United States.
IN the presence Of group Of off
c'als the parchments were removed
from the protecting walls Of a steel
safe enclosing them and placed on view
In the State Department for an hour,
while motion picture cameras re-
corded their appearance for the benefit
OF the 110000,000 persons living under
the principles enunciated by them.
Iheaters from Maine to California
and from the Gulf to Canada will ex-
hibit the films in an effort Ito remove
from the public mind in every city,
town and village any possible effects
of recent Red activities."
Owing to their age, exhibition of
the parchments is a rare event. Ex-
posure to light, even though each
sheet is protected carefully from air
by hermetically sealed glass plates,
causes additional fading of the ink
iinscribing the immortal words which
brought the Republic into being.
Both the Declaration and the Con
stitution were found in excellent con-
dition. The signatures of the former
are very indistinct except for the IA
nous "John Hancock" written extra
large with fourishes and in the most
prominent place.

deteriorate into a chorus of denuncia
