@. Why do we say base ball pitch
ing and base ball pitcher, when, in
reality, the ball is not pitched-it Is
thrown?-N. T.
A. Spalding's Base Ball Guide says
that the first pitching was literally
pitching. The ball was not thrown.
The present method has been a grad
ual evolution and the ball may now
be tossed, pitched, jerked or thrown.
@. Could a sailing vessel be pro-
PEELED by use Of powerful fans, placed
SO the breeze blows upon the sails?-
T. ]. B.
A. The editor of the Rudder says
that the idea of propelling a boat
by placing fans on deck is, OF course,
ridiculous. In fact, this has been
one of the standard jokes among
sailormen for years. 1t is very much
like standing in the back part Of an
automobile and attempting to move
the car by pushing on the front seat.
Q. For whom were the first Of
Thornton Burgess popular Bedtime
Stories" written?-N. r. T.
A. For the small son of the au-
thor.
O. Is there more than one style Of
Chinese writing?-A. D.
A. There are five. but only three
Of these are still used for practical
purposes. The cheng kai was adopted
for all official uses and remains the
most polite form Of handwriting. The
others in popular use are the ts'ao shu
and the hsing shu.
@. What Is an astrophane?-S. A. C..
A. The astrophane Is an educational
globe illustrating the stars and con-
stellations and their relationship and
their relative movement. BY means
of simple adjustment, an observer
can find the position of the stars at
any time of the day or any date.
The device is an invention Of Otto
]. Russert Of Hoboken, N. j.
O. What is such an expression as
"God helps them that help them
selves" called?-D s.
A. A terse, pithy saying conveying
important truth in few words is called
an apothem.
Q. Who appointed Mahatma Gandhi
and what salary does he receive?-
A. B. T.
A. Mahatma Gandhi is the leader
of the national party of India which
seeks entire self-rule and political in
dependence from England. He is self
appointed. Gandhi combines a highly
spiritual conception with political
plans. He does not receive salary.
@. What Is the Drago doctrine?-
M l.
A. When in the Winter of 1eo2-o3
Germany, Britain and Italy block
AIDED the ports of Venezuela in an
attempt to make the latter country
settle its debts, DR.. L. F. Drago, a
noted jurist of Argentina. maintained
that force cannot be used by one
power to collect money owing to its
citizens by another power. Promi-
nence was given to the contention by
the fact that it was officially upheld by
Argentina and favored by other South
American republics. The principle
embodied has become generally known
as the Drago doctrine.
@. Are men more intelligent than
women?-P. I. w.
A. The Public Health Service says
that mental capacity and intellectual

Revamping the N. R. A.

President Roosevelt is whipping into
final shape the plan for reorganiZed
and revamped N. R. A. There has
been much gossip and reported fact
about the new form which this i'm
portant agency of the Government
and of industry is to take. Gen.
Hugh S. Johnson, who has been ad-
ministrator through the first rather
turbulent and very experimental year
of the N R. A., is, according to many
of the reports, to be definitely out as
@ controlling factor, even If he retains
a place in the picture. The general
however, has been 'out" many times
and then in" again. His opponents
have seized upon his recent speech
in which he attacked the leaders and
instigators of the textile strike, and
have urged it as a positive proof that
the President can no longer keep the
general on the job as the big boss Of
the N. R. A. They seem to take it
for granted that the President could
no longer countenance a man who
has had the temerity to declare that
organized labor leaders broke faith.
The final form that the N. R. A.
Is to take is a matter of great i'm
portanCe to America. That means the
whole of the United States, the work.
ers and the consumers and business.
How far is the control of business to
be sought? Are the antitrust laws
to be reinstated in full force? What
is to be the policy regarding hours
Of labor recognition of the unions,
and wages? Neither capital nor labor
can get very far without business"
The national industrial recovery act,
by which the N. r. A. was created,
expires next June. 1t was put through
as an emergency measure. Unless
this part of the New Deal is to vanish,
so far as law Is concerned, a new
bill must be put through Congress
The new measure. it may be well
assured, will be offered as a perma-
nent and not temporary law, if the
pledge of the President and the
administration that the New Deal is
here to stay means what it says. For
that reason it is particularly advisable
that the people should know what
this new plan is and what its implica-
tions and ramifications may be before
the congressional elections take place
November s.
The Democratic National Committee,
In its recently published campaign
book for the 1884 congressional elec-
tions, says that the only real issue is
the Presidents recovery program and
that the answer lies in the character
of the Congress elected in November.
That being true, the voters should
know, If possible, what the recovery
program is in detail, and the N. R. AS
proposed permanent form is one of the
most important parts of that program.
The people were promised New Deal
by President Roosevelt when he be-
came a candidate for President two
years ago. Very little of the nature
of the New Deal was revealed, how
ever, during that campaign, so far as
the detailed program was concerned.
The New Dealers are bending every
effort to hold the huge majorities
which they have had in the present
Congress. If they are successful, does
any one doubt that the Congress will
write into law whatever is sent to it
by the New Deal administration? 1t is,
therefore, of the greatest importance
that the people, who will elect this
new Congress, know just what they are
voting for.

his time fully occupied with his Off

seeking the reason for the Governors
reelection may get a clue from that.

Scotch Blood.

From the Cleveland Plain Dealer.
Three blood transfusions were nee
essary to save lady patients life at
a hospital. A brawny young Scotch
man offered his blood. The patient
gave him $50 for the first pint. s25 for
the second pint-but the third time
she had so much Scotch blood in her
she only thanked him.

Weather Talk,

The ground hog fooled us for a while
A drought came in relentless style
And made the weather hard to guess
With all it's sudden waywardness.
Then confident, with sound so clear
A notice came that frost drew near.
BY rain our happiness was hid
1t even drowned the katydid.
