John Phelan, offering the/America Olympic committee the Sixty-ninth Eegiment Armory for this purpose, according to an announcement made by Frederick W. Rubien Thursday Sroiympi^rrtales, Is covered by paragraph 48 of the rule book and at present provides that a ball shall*be judged fair or foul "according to where it passes over Abe boundary line of the actual playing field." The new wording Will be the same as'Ja 1919, which says that when a "batted ball passes outside' grounds or into the stands the umpire'shall judge it fair or foul, according to where it disappears from the um pire's view." The latter interpretation of the rule would have robbed Babe Ruth of at least two runs this,.year, 'base bail officials saW, because there are two1 instances oh record Where he hif balls Into the stands which land ed In foul territory but were called fair because they passed over the fence fair and. curved into foul ground. Under the new rule if an umpire sees- a ball land foul it must be call ed foul regardless of whether it pass ed over the'boundary fence fair.

An Interesting experiment In library co-operation (s being worked out in the Long Beach public library Long Beach, Cal. Forty or- 50 attorneys of the city of Long Beach have sent law books from their private libraries to the public library for the purpose of forming a co-operative law library. Those cohtrlbuflng books In this way are entitled to take books from the co operative, .library, keeping them for a period of five days, and. the general public Is allowed to consult the hooka at the library. The books are marked, "Loaned.to the Long Beach Public Li brary." Some of the attorneys join ing in the plan have each contributed as many as 200 books to the co-opera tive law library. It would-seem that this Idea might be worked out success fully In other lines'of endeavor, thus making the resources found-In books available to the largest possible num ber of people. Nickel Money. Nickelswhich '.are really copper nickel, being a mixture of the two metalswere first coined in this coun try to give encouragement to nickel mining, Important depositshaving been found In Pennsylvania., Since then many other uses for the metal have been found. But at the present time 85 per cent of the world's supply of nickel IS derived from the mines of the Sudbury- district, In Can ada, where the reserves of ore are enormous. Of the balance, France pro duces the bulk, contributing 11 per cent It has been suggested that Great Britain, practically controlling as she does the world's- nickel, might switch, from cheapened gold and make the white metal the basis of her currency.

To make home a happy place is the housewife's-business, but unless she can at least appear happy herself she is not likely to make a success- of It. This will be much eas ier if she has had her early training In the game of "let's pretend." Very few of us make the most of all the chances for happiness that come to us.

The Declaration of: Independence wasn't signed on July 4, 1776. Abra ham Lincoln didn't dash off his famous Gettysburg address on an pld,,euve epe as he rode on the train! to Gettys burg. Most likely, George Washing, ton never, chopped down the cherry tree/ The manuscript division of the library of congress Isn't sure about the cherry tree episode, because George didn't Write a letter about It, but It holds .documentary evidence re garding the other tvo Illusions of our school days, so the history books that we studied so trustfully were wrong. The manuscript division has the two original drafts of the Gettysburg speech,. one carefully written, oh,,offl- clal White bouse stationery, partly to pencil, add the other In Ink, both dis playing .Lincoln's well-known hand writing. The first draft and the re ylsed copy differ slightly from the ad dress as It was finally delivered. As for the Declaration of Indepen dence, the official Journal of the Con tinental congress for July 4, 1776, shows that on that day congress adopt ed the-declaration by vote, but the signing, which, we make so much of. Was deferred as unimportant.' Most of tbe members signed the document a month liter, while In 1781, five years later, some other congressmen Who were not in, office in 1776 also added their signatures, thereby gaining im mortality. business.
