Mr.. George Herman Ruth.
Miami, Florida.
Dear Sir: Your interesting letter Of recent date has
been received and placed on file. I am sending the
contract back unchanged, and the only question In
my mind is how long 1t can stand the constant travel
through the mails. BY the way, row do we stand now
in the matter of returning this contract? Have T sent
it back to you more times than you have sent it to
me or are We even now? II ! am correct you had it
twice and I have had it three times, in which case I
must get it back once more.
I can't tell you how glad I am 10 get these letters
with the contract inclosed. as 1t makes much won
derful publicity. without it 7 don't know what We
could do to keep the Yanks and you In the news
papers in the off season when baseball can be so
easily forgotten. This winter. with the naval parley
and the Prince Humbert wedding and Chicagos
bankruptcy all getting page on attention. you and I
had a peculiarly difficult problem. which I am happy
to say you have done so much to solve.
ss
We all enjoyed your joke about quitting baseball
unless you got what you demand. 1 read it to Bar
row and the boys and they had a hearty laugh.
You're a scream. George. How do you humorous
writers think up such funny things to say?
Your bread and butter crack was good. too I
mean the part where you said you could afford to quit
as you had enough bread and butter in your home
to last you the rest Of your life II you never touched
another baseball. Knowing your appetite. George. I
was a little astonished at that statement and I as
sumo you are just exaggerating.
While your letter was all in good fun and very
laughable, there was one thing that puzzled me.
That was where you said you had $4,000 in the
Bank Of Manhattan and Equitable Assurance Com
pany which gave you an income Of $4,000 a year.
VIII YOU confirm this by wire. II there is no mis-
take I am going to transfer all my funds to these
institutions. as the best my bank will give me on
$50. 900 is 4 per cent. or $4,000 a year. If you have
a private arrangement with these banks just say SO.
Well. Babe. I hope you are having a good time and
will not mind writing me all these letters and send
ing back the contract every few days. 1t Is all In
good fun. Have q good time and in a few weeks we
will get together and fix the salary up all right, as
we always do.
Lots of love.
JAKE.

There is a battle OF the bottle under the big dome
IN the city Of Washington and the laundering Of
the ultra-pros and the ultra-antis ring around the
American world.
It is an amazing issue.
Left alone, economic issues would engage the at
tention Of the national lawmakers and the men Of
affairs who are interested IN commerce and finance.
Let alone, the national lawmakers would be COM
PEELED to face the problem of monopolisttc control
and the enactment Of tariff and tax laws.
Down here in Texas. in addition to the battle
around the bottle, there is a battle for the control
OF the ballot box.
Chmn. d. w. Wilcox and his state executive COM
mittee held an important session on Feb. /. 1t was
not a spectacular session. There were no loud and
lusty political hanrangues. All Hoover democrats
who are not candidates for state office were invited
to participate in the democratic primary election 10
be held in the coming months Of July and August,
conditional on their giving unqualified support 10
the nominees Of the aforesaid primary.
All Hoover democrats. those who bolted in the
November election Of 1928. were ruled out as fit

offices or high court judicial positions. On the Of

In the coming month Of July and in the run-off in
August where run-offs are necessary.
Lest we forget. official action was not taken to-
ward the making Of the official primary ballot.
There's a statute which requires the official ballot
to be made out or the ninth day OF June. this year.
This Is law and the committee tracked the law
Politics is a practical and cold-biooded propo-
sition. There must be political parties and this has
been a two-party country for decades.
On and after the June 9 session of the COMMITTEES
an applicant or applicants who have been denied
place on the official ballot may turn their eyes TO
the courts Of the commonwealth and seek redress
for real or fancied grievance. Atty. Gen. r L. Bob
bitt handed out an opinion-by request of an avowed
applicant for place on the ticket who is seeking
the governorship Of Texas.
By a vote Of 81 TO 10. this Bobbitt ruling was tossed
aside. TWO years ago Claude Pollard, then attorney
general. made a similar ruling. His ruling was tossed

Star Lore
OBSERVING THE DOPPLER
SHIFT IN THE SOLAR
SPECTRUM
BY Arthur Dew. Carpenter

Let Us note an example of the
Doppler effect, j e., the shifting Of
spectrum lines toward the violet
or the red. as a source of light is
approaching or receding from the
observer: When a spectrogram Of
the eastern and of the western
limbs Of the SUI are taken at the
same time on a Photographic plate,
the lines photographing the eastern
limb Cedgel are shifted toward the
violet, while the lines photographing
the western limb are shifted to-
ward the red. due to the fact that
the eastern limb is approaching the
observer, while the western limb is
rotating away from the observer.
This idea once grasped is intensely
interesting.
