PROTEST MADE BY MUSCLES
That Occasionally Cause Trouble
by Going ION Strike"

When the brain calls upon any par
ticular group Of muscles to perform
the same action over and over again
they are apt to show their dissatisfac-
ton by declaring a strike.
A typical case in point is tennis
elbow" from which complaint most
ardent devotees of the game have suf
fered at some time or other
The symptoms vary from mere stiff
ness of the elbow Joint to severe
cramp, eliminating in some instances
in temporary inability to use the arm
for any purpose. Sometimes, too,
there is painful swelling of the fore
arm. .e.~..-.---
A kindred complaint Is "tennis leg
which affects in a, somewhat similar
manner the muscles of the calves and
the knee joints. Another example
where the leg muscles are the victims
is afforded by riders sprain," a com
plant to which polo players are found
to be peculiarly liable.
Then, again, there is a complaint
which is called "bowler's SIDE"
brought about through strainlng the
abdominal muscles.-Cleveland Plain
Dealer.

The closed shop" and the
"check-off system. Probably few
readers of The American know or
care what these terms mean, but
when they learn that next winters
coal and comfort may hang upon
them, perhaps they will sit up and
take little notice The 'closed
shop" means that only union miners
can work, and the check off" means
that the operators collect union dues
from the miners by deducting them
from their wages and turning the
money over to the union-in other
words, acting as collectors for the
union. These two things the
operators refuse to grant, while the
miners insist. And so the confer
ence between miners and operators
is Off, the agreement under which
they are now operating expires
September /, and then-a strike,
perhaps. But the public, after the
past two winters of coal shortage
and high prices, is not in a mood to
stand much fooling, and the govern
ment will be compelled to take dras-
tic action. All this relates to the
hard-coal fields. A brighter lining to
the cloud is furnished by the soft
coal operators, who promise to flood
the country with soft coal if the
shortage of hard coal becomes acute.

Fifteen to twenty years of building
good roads lie ahead Of the United

country has adopted there will be
built, during that time. 10000 miles Of
Improved highways which will conStl-
tute the federal-aid highway system and

clent Romans, whose fame has come

Details Of this vast bodybuilding
program were placed before the High

ference In Washington by state high
way engineers and officials OF the
bureau Of public roads, United States
Department OF Agriculture, to whom
has been entrusted the work Of plan

OF federal-aid highways. The plan
was presented to enable the board to
proceed authoritatively with its work

leges TO which r~oad-builders of the
country are turning for competent

Officials of the bureau place the ag-
