Show I I THE BULLETIN. BINGHAM, UTAH How Franking Started Franking of the mail was brought to the American colonies from Ens-land- , and among the earliest acts of the Continental congresses were provisions for ita continuance. Dur-ing the Revolution, the privilege was granted to soldiers in service, and after the war the succeeding con-gresses added the heads of the vari-ous departments and bureaus as these came into existence. Weight and Gravity Neglecting the resistance of thd air, a heavy object and a light ob-ject will fall to the earth with the same velocity. It was originally thought that the velocity of a freely falling body was proportional to its weight. Galileo, however, demon-strated that this was not so, by dropping various bodies from the top of the leaning-towe- r of Pisa. It was discovered that light and heavy bodies reached the earth simultane-ously. Poise in All Things, at All Times, Is Important Lord NurthcUiTe. the ish famous Brit- newSpaper publisher, began to earn his living before he was 20. and by the time he was 30 he was a and the foremost newspa-Pe- r publisher in England. Yet he regretted all his life that he had not gone to college, relates a writer in The Neighbor Magazine. One day he explained this com-plex to Tom Clarke, author of My Northcliffc Diary. "I have aU the money and all the social position I want." said NorthdifTe. "Social po- sition is nothing to me, and never was. Titles don't appeal to me. Vou are a young man; don't worry about those things. The important thing is poise. How a man handles a situ-ation is a much more important thing than the situation itself. Poise in all things and at all times so few man have it. "I have suflered from my disabil-ity throughout my career. You can-not know how much. I sufTer from the fact that 1 was not at Oxford. I can never outlive it. "You have a son? Send him to a good college to the best college. Not necessarily for three years or more. That may be too long. One year may be enough. It is a great asset. It means a lot to a man. It gives him in his impressionable years the foundation of poise among his fellow-creature- which can be got nowhere elsp " Women's Clothes Button To Be of Most Service The Haberdasher states: "The story connected with the placing of buttons on men's and women's coats Is an Interesting one. Tradition hands us the following, and it is rea-sonable enough to be believed: "In former times when men wore swords on all occasions, it was fre-quently necessary to be quick on the draw. The weapon, of course, was invariably fastened at the left and in order to draw it from its scab-bard with quick dispatch, such emergencies made it necessary to place the coat buttons at the right. Obviously, fumbling would have been fatal. As the left hand reached to the right in order to unbutton the coat, the right hand went to the left and drew the sword. "Now for the ladies who also en-ter into this pleasant legend in a most agreeable way: As has been the custom since time immemorial, it is the practice of women to hold a baby in the hollow of her left arm which engages both the arm and the hand. It becomes clear that if the woman's Jacket is to be unbut-toned easily it must be done with the right hand without disturbing the position of the child; hence the necessity of buttoning the jacket to-ward the left which permits usage of the free right arm in either but-toning or unbuttoning her gar-ments." tLhiped in Asia ;T crevices in the H ;fhen lighted. usual SSSSdi-- . in China relates Flora ;J 2Iceland Plain I las in Ohio and West : Nineteenth cen-- I 2d salt makers of the first op- - one S'7: ,e business J Zle, while drilling S eservoir of nat-- 4 with f paused the driller to " Thad "drilled through .'jrst the well was con- - but the gas was irtab ure, work to boil the water ! making.

S, 1 I Speaking of Sports i Braddock Eyes ComebackTrail As Funds Wane 6y ROBERT McSIIANE JIMMY BRADDOCK, Cinderella " man of the heavyweight ranks, has decided to come out of retire-ment. This despite his withdrawal from active competition several months ago. Braddock has a good rrasnn for taking his gloves off the wall. It's the same reason that prompted Tony Canzonerl, Benny Leonard, and the many others to get back into the ring after their beet lighting days were over. He's short of funds. Joe Gould, Braddock's manager, forced his retirement In the first place. Gould intended to see to it that his man quit before he absorbed too much punishment He didn't want Jim changed from a likable young man to a punch-drun- k vet-eran of too many ring wars. No. 1 Sports Upset So Jim quit the ring and started in the saloon business. Braddock's Inn wasn't very much of a success. In fact, it went down for the count and $30,000. The former heavyweight champ again ran into financial troubles. That, of course, couldn't be foreseen. Gould's inten-tions were highly laudable. Don't feel too sorry for Jim. Be-ing broke Isn't a new experience to him. When his fighting went bad a ' t. f " V 'A'1 1 1 ifVn JAMES BRADDOCK few years ago he went to work on the docks as stevedore. Times grew steadily worse and James was forced to add his name to the gov-ernment relief rolls. That was the bottom of things for him. He didn't stay at the bottom long. Through a combination of circum-stances he was tossed into the ring on June 13, 1935, with Max Baer, heavyweight champion who never deserved the title. The former whom everyone thought was completely washed up, was too smart for Baer. He won the world's heavyweight champion-ship and crossed his name off the relief rolls. Unquestionably this was one of the most remarkable reversals in the history of boxing. Braddock didn't stay at the top very long and was knocked out by Joe Louis on June 22, 1937. Experts gave Brad-doc- k credit for being at the peak of his career, regardless of the fight's outcome. He later proved It by beating Tommy Farr. Braddock made a lot of money, spent a large part of it, and lost a great deal more. Four years after he was considered to be washed up, Braddock is attempting a come-back in the game which made him famous. The former champ is playing a smart game. His attempt is being made in England, where second-rat- e fighters, at least judged by Ameri-can standards, are as numerous, and fully as agile, as old-ag- e pen-sion advocates. Jimmy is a canny, ringwise fight-er, and he can hit. He has a good chance to wade through the British heavyweights to get a chance at Tommy Farr again for the cham-- ! pionship of the British empire. Expensive Carcass A MAJORITY of horse races on the nation's tracks are claim-ing races in which any starting horse must be offered for sale at a sum which is stated before the race. An illustration: A $2,000 claiming race is one in which any starting horse may be purchased (claimed) for $2,000. Claims are deposited, together with a check, at least 15 minutes before post time. Any horseman, of course, is happy who can put over a fast deal on a rival. Recently at New York's Ja-maica racetrack, Milo Shield, a vet-eran, entered a d gelding named Staff Sergeant in a $1,500 claiming race. Never a world beat-er, Staff Sergeant fell dead near the end of the race. The owner of the then defunct ani-mal strolled to the racing secre-tary's office. He was told that a rival horseman had put in a claim for Staff Sergeant. Shields received the $1,500. The unfortunate buyer received the carcass, and was forced to pay for its removal from the track. War Secretary's Son Executed Midshipman Spencer, son of a sec-retary of war, Boatswain Samuel Cromwell and Seaman Elisha Small were suspected of mutiny on the brig Somers in 1842. Alexander Sli-de- ll Mackenzie was in command, and they were executed. Midship-man Spencer's father was secretary of war, and there waa a great deal of sympathy for him and amaze-ment at the extreme act of disci-pline, but the command was exon-erated by a court of inquiry and court-martia- l.

Speech Improvement Women at Barnard college are learning to improve their speech. When they enter as freshmen, a phonograph record is made of their speech, which they study. They then have further conferences and record-ings during the next two years to hear themselves as others hear them. Rookies' Big Year "pHE beginning of this baseball season will probably be remem-bered for one thing at least the surprisingly large number of rookies who survived preliminary weeding, and managed to carve a place for themselves early in their baseball careers. Take the ease of young, brash Ted Williams, Red Sox freshman out-fielder. Recently he stood at the plate, facing Bob Harris, Tiger pitcher. The count was 3-- 0 against him, when Rudy York, catcher, chanted: "Well, here she comes the old 3-- pitch. I s'pose you're gonna hit It." Williams didn't even turn aroynd when he replied: "I'm gonna take a cut at it, and I always tell the truth." York didn't believe that even the greenest rookie would swing at a 0 pitch. A lot of clubs would slap a fine on a player who was sucker enough to bite on It But Rookie Williams leaned hard, and far Into the distant stands the ball sailed for a three-ru- n, game-winni-homer, his second of the game. Williams, to say the least. Is one of the season's freshman finds. But there are others who are Just as invaluable to their teams. Even the world champion New York Yankees came up with three excep-tional finds in Catcher Buddy Rosar and Outfielders Charlie Keller and Joe Gallagher. In addition to Williams, the Red Sox look with pride on Jim Tabor, third baseman, and Woodrow Rich, pitcher. Both Williams and Tabor went south with Boston this year as-sured of their jobs. Manager Joe Cronln had traded off Ben Chapman and Pinky Higgins to make room for them. Rich has consistently looked good on the mound. Eddie Miller, fielding demon for-merly from Kansas City, does much to bolster Casey Stengel's Bees. Miller has been rated by Charlie Gelbert, former Cardinal star, as the finest shortstop he ever saw in action. With Miller the Bees have one of the smoothest functioning in-fields In the country. In 1937 Manager Jim Dykes of the Chicago White Sox tried to get Manuel Salvo from San Diego. He wasn't successful, but this year Bill Terry brought the tall, poker-face- d Italian to the Giants. Both Carl Hubbell and Hal Schumacher are as yet unknown quantities In this year's race, and Salvo has stepped into a starting Job and has managed to hold it. It isn't all luck that this excep-tional crop of rookies hove over the horizon this year. It's the result of the far-flun- g chain-stor- e systems un-der which big leagues groom pros-pective material. And its success couldn't be more strongly evidenced than by the success of today's fresh-men. Of course many of them won't last it just isn't in the cards for the majority of them to follow in the footsteps of Ruth, Gehrig and other baseball immortals. But a large number cf them can and will dem-onstrate enough playing ability to remain on some big league roster. Quite a few first-yea- r men have al-ready intrenched themselves in a steady position, and a good many more are giving the old guard more than a run for their money.

Traces Sun Worship to The New Stone Age Era Worship of the sun as a distinct object apparently did not start until the new Stone age when man had developed a crude agriculture, ob-serves a prominent authority in the Wisconsin Star. In the old Stone age all nature was looked upon as "a great human ghost," the spirits of the dead were supposed to enter into natural objects and the trees, animals, rocks and clouds were en-dowed with human qualities. With the advent of crops regularly sown and harvested, the one natural object upon which these crops de-pended was singled out for special reverence. A great wealth of sun symbols is first noted in this period of pre-histor- The paintings and carvings of old Stone age men show no designs that can be connected directly with the sun. Worship of the sun has gone around the earth. It was a promi-nent part of the religion of ancient Egypt, where at one time it was refined into a monotheistic system which ranks as one of the world's great religions. It was almost un-iversal among American Indian tribes, reaching its greatest refine-ment among the Incas of Peru, where the rulers were supposed to be directly descended from the sun. The Japanese trace their mytholog-ical descent from the same source. Physician's Oath Is One Of Great Many Promises The Physician's Oath by Hippoc-rates is as follows: "I swear by Apollo Physician, by Asclepius, by Health, by Panacea, and by all the gods and goddesses, making them my witnesses, that I will carry out, according to my abil-ity and judgment, this oath and this indenture. To hold my teacher in this art equal to my own parents; to make him partner in my liveli-hood; when he is in need of money to share mine with him; to consid-er his family as my own brothers, and to teach them this art, if they want to learn it, without fee or in-denture. I will use treatment to help the sick according to my abil-ity and judgment but never with a view to injury and wrong doing. I will keep pure and holy both my life and my art. In whatsoever houses I enter, I will enter to help the sick, and I will abstain from all intentional wrong doing and harm. And whatsoever I shall see or hear in the course of my profession in my intercourse with men, if it be what should not be published abroad, I will never divulge, hold-ing such things to be holy secrets. Now if I carry out this oath, and break it not, may I gain forever reputation among all men for my life and for my art; but if I trans-gress it and forswear myself, may the opposite befall me." es Int. an Aid to (Church of England 3t K Lt source of income of luffi of England is iU endow-on- c; r.yof these are very old, iting the Reformation, re very large.

City Named for Marie Antoinette The name of the city of Marietta Ohio, was chosen in honor of Marie Antoinette. The Standard-Bre- d Trotter The history of the American standard-bre- d trotter goes back to a horse named Messenger, a thor-oughbred, foaled in England in 1780. Messenger was imported in 1788 and lived to be 28 years old. It was dis-covered that Messenger's offspring were particularly adept at trotting rather than running hence the birth of the roadster, as the standard-bre- d horse is commonly called. Per-haps the most widely known of standard-bre- d strains is the Ham-bletonia- n derived from the great-grandso- n of Messenger and a re-markable producer of fast trotters, writes Capt. Maxwell M. Corpening in the Chicago Tribune. The standard- -bred strain is not as pure as some others because of infusions made for improvements. These, however, according to trotting horse enthusiasts, have all been absorbed and they say the registered standard- -bred is just as clean and blue-bloode- d as any other. The trotter is used mostly for show purposes in the roadster classes and in racing. Quaaltagh, Old British Festival Quaaltagh is seldom heard of in England, but is one of the oldest English festivals. It is observed in parts of the Isle of Man, where customs similar to "first-shooting- " in Scotland are kept up. Men go from house to house singing special festival songs and are invited in for a bite and a drink. Always, dark men go first. But there are one or two customs in connection with Quaaltagh which are observed nowhere else. Before midnight the floor of the kitchen is swept, always starting at the door and sweeping to the hearth, otherwise good luck will be swept out. Before retiring, the ashes are taken from the fire and smoothed over the hearth with a pair of tongs, and in the morning the housewife looks eagerly at the ashes for tracks of a human foot. If there is one and the toes point to the door, it means death or one in the house; if the footprint is reversed, it means birth of a child.
