aaeeneing alt' alt i1iorl.litl tastes when
conte back to the matter of Making
a will .o encu after the last piece I
wrote on the subject. 1lowever,
{ptite recently I. ran across the re-
sults of a survey which eeetne(1 5o
ititeres time that 1 ft el I should pass
:hem along.
h +t S
snrvc.•v' was made by ;l big
lnleriran agricultural magazine. f1
large group of farm women were
risked !he question "I -Las your hus-
band inade a will?" and when the
replies were sorted out the results
were as follpwe;
Yes -26 per cent.
No -65 per cent
Don't know -9 per cent..
*
Only 7 per cent of the woolen in
the 20.34 age ;'roup thought their
husbands had trade a n•ill, 131.0. 47
per Cent of there fiver 50 reported
that a will bad been made.
That still leaves a majority of
zarmers in every Lige group with-
out wills, This is gond news for
• lawyers. When anybody dies with-
out a will, there is more work for
lawyers, more chance for family
arguments.
* *
Many women realize this, and
wish their husbands did. One wom-
an said:
"I wish more were written about
men making wills. It seems such a
hard matter to talk about. When
you're young, you're always wait-
ing until you're older and harrc
more to r:'il.l. For some, that is too
'fete." +k*
An older woman said "My man
doesn't have a will and won't make
one. He says women are too dumb
to handle money."
* •k $
Even more important than a will
is the willingness of husbands to •
calk over farm business with their
wives.
k 5 *
En this, farmhnshands in the fam-
ilies surveyed make a goon record.
Most wives are like the women who
commented:
`°Yes, my husband keeps nae in-
formed. We always work. together.
I hear sone .women say they' don't
know anything at all about the
family business. I wouldn't like
that:" * * �:
The poll also asked: "If your hus-
band :were to pass away suddenly,
bow much Would you know about
the family business affairs? Check
the statement that comes nearest
fitting your situation:"
1. My Husband keeps me inform -
•ed and up-to-date tin all business '
:matters -63 per cent. ,
2. I think I .could '' get along all
right, but the don't discuss it much
—.26 per cent.
3. I'd be lost. My husband doesn't
tell me anything 'about business
•affairs -8 per scent.
4. Not sure -3 !per •cent•.
k * *
' Middle-aged farmers make the
best record in keeping wives in-ees The 'young and the old rate
about equal. '
One farm 'wonaafa reported: "Yes,
1 could get :along all right so far
is the business is concerned. ',keep
all the books, and i'n1 not stir. but
,Ivhat 1 know more about its than
he does."
Another woman said: "He does-
n't tell me until afterward when
he has a deal on. But I keep the
'books, so I guess you'd say he
kept me informed."
A young woman said: "My hus-
band is of . the old school, but I
manage to find out pretty well
what's going on,"

they could get along with their

ported: "I think 1 know quite a bit

I:11 a recent issue of 'The New
York Times. Magazine we noticed
an article bearing the ,e}re"-catching
title WHAT IS REALLY THE
FASTEST SPORT? It is a title
especially eye-catching to Canadian
optics because over here for many
years past, • we have had it .so.
gouged into us that hockey is "the
world's fastest sport" that most' of
us have conte to believe that state-
ment unquestioningly, as _an article
of faith,
*
However, the author of said
article:—Arthur Daley, Sports Edi-
tor -of The Times—is a' man who
has been around. He has watched,
and reported on, more sport ani. a
wider variety of sport than most
inen; . and his opinions must be
respected even if he arrives at. a
conclusion liable to cause illucla
gnashing of teeth among the plug-
gers for hockey, paid and, unpaid.
* *
Speed—says Mr. Daley—is an
essential element of all major sports
and naturally an indispensable part
of all good sporting arguments.
The devotee ,of one game is con-
vinced that his favorite is the near-
est thing to terrestrial lightning and
that all other sports are molasses
by contrast, while the fan for ata -
other sport holds the contrary view.
* * 'I'
If a poll of sports writers were
to be taken, Daley thinks they
might well vote that the fastest
spot of all is jai alai—the Spanish
and Latin -A merican variety of
handball played with a basket
strapped to the wrist. But, be adds,
they would only serve up such a•
verdict after looking for the near-
est -emergency exit.
* * ,
Nkat determines which sport is
the fastest? Is it the speed of the
object in motion, or the amount of
rapid and continuous action by the
players? That is to say, speed is

relative, and a man careening down
a mountainside on a bobsled at
• seventy utiles an hour will get a
far greater sensation of speed than
he rtrould in a jet plane flashing
through the stratosphere faster
than sound. And speed in sports is
relative too. Every schoolboy knows-
that
nowsthat a horse ran outrun a man; but
how many of thein know that in a
100 yard dash the horse will finish
second.
* k ,k
Daley recalls the historic occa-
sion when John 1fc(iraw, down in
I:'avana, promoted a race between
a horse and his speediest base-
• ruliner, Hans Lobert, In later years
Lobert, when asked the result, used
to say "I win by a nose"—which
might -.have been considerable of
a margin, • at that, as Hans had a
schnozzle which was well up in the
Jimmy Durante class.

Sport? the article goes on. Gene
• Sarazen once drove a golf hall at
a pleasured 120 mules per hour, The
utmost speed of a hockey puck has
been set by calibrating machines at
a mere 88 m.p.h. But . does: that'
make golf a faster game than -
hockey? We don't have to answer
that one for you.
+k * *
Borrowing some figures from
Frank Menke's 'Encyclopedia of
Sport," Daley compares baseball,
boxing and tennis...The great Bob
• Feller—when he had that hop on
his fast one—threw a baseball at
a speed of 96,6 miles an hour. Joe
Louis' fists were once measured as
travelling 'at 127 Miles an hour,
those of Jack Dempsey 8 utiles
faster than that, But a tennis ball
whammed, by Big Bill Tilden re-
gistered 151 miles an hour.. Would
you say that tennis was the fastest
sport of the three? That is ,unless
you're •a • dyed-in-the-wool tennis
bug.
,k * ,k
Baseball produces speedy action.
—at tithes. With the bases full a
batter rips a grounder at the op-
posing shortstop, who elects to try
for a double play. The pitcher
throws — the batter swings — the
shortstop fields the ball and tosses
it to the second baseman, who
•catches the ball and relays it to
first. Five men are involved in that
play—and it all takes only five
seconds to make.
k t *
But that doesn't make baseball
tops for speed. The play stops at
each half inning for the teams to
change sides. There are long de-
lays between each pitch. Even the
pitcher, the busiest man on the
team; makes only about a hundred
throws a game. There' plenty of
speed—but lots of slow intervals
too.
Football, too, has a lot of the
"pause that refreshes" --or that irri-
tates if one wants continuous action.
1'wo running plays per minute of
this sixty -minute gauge are about
average. Although it has exciting
moments, the gridiron sport is not
a contender for "fastest" distinc-
tion. Nor is boxing. Ring action
inay be fast and constant, but there
is something about the Busted •
Beak Industry that is at cross-
purposes to this groping search. It
is too highly individualistic, which
may also be said of tennis and
golf.
+k 5 0
The same thing is true of the
"fastest sport" ---jai alai—Which is
played with two men on a team. It
gets its reputation from the inces-
sant sprinting of the players around

OINTMENT
and hurl by means of the spoon -
shaped racquet wielded with one
arm, Like the games it resembles
--handball and racquets --it is a
game of individual speed.
*
At this point Author Daley be-
gins treading on delicate ground;
and it is probably a good thing
for all concerned that, when the
article appeared, Conn Smythe and
the rest of hockey's Big Brass
were probably too much engaged
with the playoffs to take notice of
such heresy.
,k * k
It seems that when: fans debate
on the subject of speed—he says—
they are talking about team sport.
11 this he so, it brings es to a
comparison of hockey, which many
consider our speediest game, and
basketball, whose m u s h r o o n1
growth in the past seventeen years
has no parallel in athletic history.
Almost. -by a process of elimination
the • quest for the "fastest sport"
designation has to rest between
these two,
41 *
When the ice ganie came to the
U.S, frons Canada in 1924 it was
called the "world's fastest sport."
Ther label has -gone unchallenged
and the impression remains that
hockey is faster than basketball.
At the deadly risk of losing his
Canadian readers, this reporter de-
nies it. I think basketball is faster
than hockey. I admit that the puck -
chasers give a greater illusion of
speed hot I insist that it is just
that --.an illusion,
To offset the illusion consider tiie
relative speed of the players. The
speed -skater wears far faster skates
than the hockey player. If he can't
(as has been proved) surpass a
sprinter at the short distance of
100 yards, how can he ever gather
momentum enough to clove faster
than the man on foot in the restrict-
ed area of a hockey court? More-
over, a man wearing gum -soled
shoes. on a hoard floor has niuch
more maneuverability than a flan
wearing skates on ice. It isn't only
speed afoot that counts in this
over-all picture of swiftness. One
must also. take into consideration
the flow of movement, which is
more rapid on the basketball floor
than 20 the ice,
*
The, game has become so swift,
so filled with constant action, that
it has even reached into the press
box. No longer can a basketball re-
porter keep his scoring tablets and
simultaneously write a running
story of the game. He has to bring
a "scorekeeper" with him to keep
track of the avalanche of points.

To all:of which ---with a profound
bow to' Mr. Daley for his help—
we merely add a couple of obser•
-
vations, Basketball was invented by
a Canadian. And hockey, no nat-
ter how you rate it as a sport, has
yet 'failed, in all, its comparatively
lengthy history, to develop even
one per cent of the crooks and
double crossers that basketball has
turned out in its comparatively
short one. What is more, we defy
basketball to produce any radio an-
nouncer who can make even its
speediest contest sound one-tenth
as fast and exciting as Foster Hew-
itt turns some of the slowest and
creepiest hockey struggles into for
the benefit of the faithful.
