Rock Under Structure

In selecting place to build a house

port is not that of weather expert or
an electrical engineer but of geologist.

believe to have been attracted to spe-
cific places by conditions under ground
NJ C Dauzere and M. j. Bouget ex-
pressed the opinion that the safest kind
of rock on which to build II lightning
is to be avoided Is a reasonably uniform
and continuous stratum of limestone.

rock. This Is especially true, they urge,
when one of the two kinds OF rock which
meet underground contains much silica
like granite or lava. Electric tests of
the air above such rock contacts indi-
cate. the French experts report. that
this air is more highly electrified than
normal, so that Ii offers path of less

These facts should be taken into ac-

Buying of Pennants
Not Always Possible

From the Detroit News.
1t may be unfortunate for base ball,
but 1t is not at all strange. that many
Of our readers who are writing In their
analysis OF the present plight of the
Tigers seem TO feel that the only way
to bring a winning club to Detroit is to
step out and buy a lot of high-priced
stars.
1t Is unfortunate, since it indicates
how general is the notion that pennants
are for sale. And 1t is perfectly under
standable because that is how pennants
in the past have been acquired in the
American League. The New York YAM
KEGS once bought several pennants by
purchasing as many of the champion
Red Sox as were first-claSs ball players.
instead of raising players as Carrigan
had done with those whom his employer
sold later to New York.
But it is no longer true that New
York is buying pennants. for aside from
Ruth and the fading star, Dugan, no
regular on the team was purchased after
his fame was established. OF the
pitchers. Hoyt and Pennock were first
rate players. but Pipgras, the years big
winner to date. was developed by Hug
gins, and Wilcey Moore, the relief Won
der last year. was acquired directly from
the minors.
Still the idea persists that the pres
ent team is purchased nine and can
only be beaten by another combination
of purchased stars This, of course,
preSupposes that some one like Harry
Frazee is still operating in base ball
with a club of stars to sell--and this Is
not true Stars are rarer than they
were 10 years ago, and any club with
as many as two is fortunate indeed.
II 1t were possible to flourish big
bank roll and attract a winning team
To Detroit, We have no evidence that
the Tigers owners would be particu-
larry loath to try that expedient. Stars
in quantity are simply not on the
market. They must be raised. as great
managers have raised them in the past
AS Carrigan once raised them in Bos-
ton. and is now apparently raising them
again.
In the meantime. base ball itself Is
to blame for the idea that great ball
clubs in general are bought instead of
created. It's directors could once have
stopped the purchase of pennants by
the Yankees Because they failed to
interfere with the most fragrant in
stance of commercialism in the games
history. base ball will be embarrassed
for years with widely held belief that
pennants In big league base ball are for
sale at any time to the highest bidder.

At the next session Of Congress an
effort Is going to be made to have THE
Star Spangled Banner" officially adopt
ed as the national anthem. The initia-
tive in that direction has just been
taken by the New York State branch
of the Veterans of Foreign Wars. At
their recent convention 1t was revealed
that there's been held in committee in
Congress for 10 years a resolution
which would fegalize the anthem for
the country at large. 1t has long been
official with the Army. Navy and Ma
rine Corps. Members of Congress have
been loath to legiSlate The Star Span
gled Banner" into the dignity of a
truly national anthem because of pub
lie objections occasionally raised to
some OF its sentiments. A certain paci-
fist group claims that the words of
the song "glorify war" While Con-
gress is busy with The Star Spangled
Banner" it's TO be hoped somebody
will move to take out the high note
which only Jeritza or a canary can
reach.

Senator Reed as Dry Leader
Proves Political Sensation

One of the features of the Demo-

drys who were opposing the nomination
of Gov. Smith. The Senator previously

1t began in school days.
It is only within the last decade that
educators got the idea that children
should be granted regular and frequent
sitting at desks.
When the writer here went to school,
learning was mostly done In the ortho-
dox position of the more or less upright
posture of the trunk, with the knees
bent. placing the thighs at right angles
with the torso and the calves OF the legs
at right angles to the portion above.
A sitting person, viewed from the
side, approximates one stair step with
the riser and tread. This is very well
shown in the form OF the average
straight-back chair.
1t is a position which readily permits
OF much abuse, such as stopped shoui-
ders, protruded abdomen, cramped Wis

breathing.

Rail Consolidation
Hinges on Congress

From the Binghamton Press.
It becomes more and more apparent
each day that little or no progress can
be made toward railroad consolidation
until Congress clears the way by legis-
lation.
The Interstate Commerce Commission
appears to feel In duty bound to turn
thumbs down on every important con-
solidation movement that is proposed.
Some sort OF railroad consolidation
which will bring order out of the pres
ent chaos is favored by President Cool
idge. by the majority of Congress and
by railroad men.
Conflicting railroad interests naturally
are In disagreement as TO what sort OF
consolidation will be best for the coun-
try, and the Interstate Commerce Com
mission is far from helpful In ironing
out the difficulties.
The newest barrier to be erected by
the commission Is the blow struck at
the new railroad consolidation plans OF
l.. F.. Loree, who. in advancing his pet
project for a fifth transcontinental
trunk line, seeks to bring about a
merger of the Kansas City Southern
Railway. the st. Louis Southwestern and
the Missouri, Kansas g. Texas.
The commission has directed the
Kansas City Southern to show cause
why 1t should not be compelled to divest
itself OF all interest in the other two.
The commission charges that the Kan
sas City Southern, and thus indirectly
MIR. Loree. has been guilty of viola
ton of the Clayton antitrust act.
Hearings on the complaint will begin
April 2.
The Importance of this development
lies in the fact that IL the Kansas City
Southern is liable under the antitrust
act. other rail consolidation promoters,
notably the Van Sweringens, may be
held up in similar manner.
The laudable aim Of the Interstate
Commerce Commission seems to be the
protection of smaller stockholders. But
the result Of the action of the COM
mission in finding the Clayton act to
be always barrier to movements to-
ward consolidation bars all progress.
1t is to be observed, also. that railroad
executives and bankers generally have
been chiefly concerned In helping their
own interests, rather than in finding a
common cause.
