Who invented the game of basket
ball and when? Is it played ex-
tensively in the United States?
1t was invented in 1891 by James
Nainsmith from a suggestion made
by DIR. L. H. Gulick that there was
an opportunity to fill in the time be-
tween the football and the baseball
seasons with an indoor game. The
first printed statement about the
game appeared in 1892 and it i'm
mediately met with favor and was
taken up. Young Mems Christian
Associations played it first followed
shortly by athletic clubs, National
Guardsmen, schools and colleges. 1t
now has a large and increasing
patronage and some colleges devote
almost as much time 20 1T as they
do to football. 1t is played extern
sively also in girls schools and col
leges. There are basketball leagues
all over the United States and
championship games are played.

Back fires" do not occur in the
combustion chamber of an automo-

haust manifoldS. Backflring in the
intake manifold usually occurs wherl
the engine is cold and the mixture
is lean. 1t does not enrich the mix

RESTLESS!

Members of the Senate and House
are becoming restless-the usual
"state of mind" and of NERVES" about
this time every four years when a
Presidential election looms. Republi-
cans and Democrats alike, naturally
enough, would like to get home as
much before the date of holding the
national conventions as the legisla-
tive situation will permit.
Practically all the G. o. P. House
members expect to attend the gather
ing at Kansas City and nearly all of
the members Of the minority are plan
ming to give Houston the "once over"
1t is difficult to estimate how many
senators will be present at the ma
tional conventions, but whether they
are planning to be on hand or not,
it is fact that the two great dramas
are foremost in the vision of most
of them, and law-making problems
are becoming drudgery. The color and
snap and vigor of the quadrennial ma
tional gatherings of party chieftains
make an almost irresistible appeal.
Hence, the growing desire to get away
from Washington.
There are House members and
members of the Senate who desire to
hasten home because they have either
fights for denomination on their hands
or feel that, even though renomina-
tion is certain, they need to begin the
campaign for election early, and con-
tinue it without let-up until Novem-
Der.
There are legislators who are talk
ing of May 10 as moving day. Of
course, these optimistic ones are not
numbered with the foremost leaders
among the lawmakers. Although the
urge to go home is just as strong
with the latter, it is their particular
duty to hold the rank and file to the
grindstone. The country knows how
Smoot and Moses and Fess, Long
worth, Tilson and Begg, among others,
shine at this particular kind of labor.
This is about how the principal
problems of the lawmaking branch
shape up "as of the beginning of the
first week of April":
Flood Control-Passed the Senate
without a negative vote, with only
brief discussion. The House is null
ing over the subject.
Tax Reduction-Already passed the
House. Will be taken up by Senate
Finance Committee to determine
whether Treasury finances will per-
nit cut as large as the $289,000,000
the House provided.
Farm Relief-Senate will take up
revised McNary-Haugen bill as soon
as pending Agriculture Department
appropriation bill is out of the way.

tion there where bill has already been

commission and providing realloca-
tion of wave lengths has passed both
Houses and been signed by the Presi-
dent.
Alien Property-Adjustment bill
passed and signed; now law.
Merchant Marine-Jones bill to stop
sale of government lines passed Sen
ate, but may be held up indefinitely
in House. Substitute measure now
being framed by House.

ment supply bills remain to be acted
upon. All save the second deficiency

two or three weeks.

Another noteworthy figure just now
in the public eye, is Samuel Aronhalt,
also a councilman by the grace of the
voters Of town two years ago. He IS
pictured as trying to put over a mo-
ton before council to prohibit "moun-
tain pussies" from entering the city
