zing down the polished alley.
During the ten hour working day
that weight total mounts up.
Some bowling alleys pay their
pinboys six cents line when the
establishment charges 25 cents a
line. Here in Newark the pin
boys earn four cents and the
bowling alleys charge only Is
cents a line.
THE BOWLING BALL
There are two types of bowl
ing balls. One is a two finger
ball and the other a three finger
ball. The two finger ball has
holes for only two fingers while
the three finger ball has holes
for three fingers. Most bowl
ers use the three finger ball be-
cause a person seems to think
they can control the ball better.
The average cost for a bowling
ball is SIS.
THE GAME
The perfect game in bowling
is to bowl 300. To do that you
must bowl twelve strikes in
row. One out of every $4,000
games is there a chance to bowl
a perfect game. The game con-
sist of strikes and spares. In
your turn you are allowed two
balls. If you knock down all ten
pins by throwing one ball you
have made a strike. If you
knock down the ten pins in two
tries you have made a spare. If
you fail to knock down all ten
in two tries you are given a
miss.
In one game you are given ten
tries to smack down the pins.
Each of those tries are called
frames. If you make strike in
a frame you are given ten pins
in that frame plus the number
of tens you knock down in the
next two tries. If you turn in
a spare you are given ten pins
in that frame plus the number
of pins you make on the next
ball you throw. Thus it is very
important that you mark if you
are hoping for a high game.
Both strikes and spares are call
ed marks.

Basketball is our nations No
l indoor sport to view as a spec
tator, but bowling is the nations
No. l indoor sport for the men,
women, and children of our
country to participate in.
In every city from Los An
geles to New York, bowling
alleys are almost always crowd
ed in both the afternoon and in
the evening. 1t makes no differ
ence who you are for you can be
a bowler and probably will be.
1t is estimated that 100000
Americans bowl. Among these
bowlers are movie stars, stenog-
raphers, mayors, governors, bus
mess executives, coal miners, in
fact, just everybody.
In the city of Detroit no less
than 10000 men are competing
in the fortieth annual tourney
of the American Bowling Con-
gress. The A. B. C. tourney is
to the bowling fan what the
world series is to the baseball
fan. In Syracuse 5000 women
bowlers stormed the city for the
twenty-third annual tourney of
the Women's international Bowl
ing Congress.
The sport of bowling is very
old. For centuries and centuries
man has enjoyed himself by
knocking down sticks of wood
with a round object. AS man
grew more initiative he perfect
ed the game until now the sport
seems to have reached the very
peak of perfection.
A few years ago, perhaps it
has been more than just a few
years ago, bowling alley was
considered not just the best
place for a woman to be seen.
But now that is all changed for
women have taken to bowling
like ducks take to water. Intro
ducing women to the sport has
helped the popularity Of bowling
no end. 1t is said that. of the
100000 bowlers, one-third are
of the fair sex.
THE PIN BOY
Several thousand men, rang
ing from IA to 70 years in age,
employ themselves as pinboys.
Their work is not easy. They
must swiftly and skillfully re-
place the pins after a bowler has
thrown his ball. A bowling ball
whistling down the alley reaches
the speed of 40 to 80 miles an
hour and when it hits the pin it
sends the tenpins in almost ev-
cry direction. And a flying ten
pin can hurt if it hits you. Pin
boys can tell a good bowler when
they first watch him or her
throw a ball down the alley.
Women are far more superstiti-
GUS than men according to the
pinboys.
One pinboy estimates that he
and other pinboys lift ten tons a
day. A pin weighs more than
three pounds and when you re-
place ten of those you lift thirty
pounds. Most bowling balls
weigh Is pounds and that ball
must be picked up every time it
has been rolled down the alley
and put on the returning rack.
Also the pinboy must lift his
own weight out of the road Of
the coming bowling ball whiz-

Panama Was Site of First
 Pan American Conference

THE first Pan American Con-
 gress, summoned by Simon Bolivar in 1926, convened in Pan- anna. This Central American re- public now honors the 50th anni- versary of the founding of the Pan American Union with the stamp above, picturing the flags of 2l American republics.
 United States speedy recogni- tion of the independent republic of Panama in 1904, after Panama had seeded from Colombia, has been criticized as a move to in- sure construction of the Panama Canal. But Panama's history shows that the secession was not without earlier cause.
 In 17l8 Panama was made a province of Nueva Granada, later was regarded as part of the Co., lombian federation. In 184l Pan- anna revolted, set up an inde- pendent state. Colombia put down the revolt, but in 1853 Panama again withdrew. then returned.
 During the French period of canal construction, Panama suf- fered at the hands of officials ap- pointed at Bogota. There was a revolt in 1895 and from 1898 to 1903 the province was in a con- tinual state of rebellion, climaxed in final independence. .
