pressions, are: Princess Elizabeth, the king, the queen and Princess Margaret.
Scanning the Notes on Science
in a greatmetropolitan newspaper
we ran across the brief description
of a new invention which gives
promise of becoming one of the
most important innovations ever in-
troduced into the world of Sport.
In fact we cannot think of anything
to compare it with, in its possible
far-reaching effects, ,ince same gen-
ius invented a battery which would
fit into a jockey's hand. and put it
to use for the improvement of the
breed of Thoroughbred horses.
* *
"The newt -et in football inven-
tions.- according to the generally
trustworthy New York Times, "is
a belmet ear piece filled with am-
monia gas. The invention has been
patented by Dr. W. D. Ilershberger
of the 1 lniversity of California at
Los And,t'.es, Purpose? To enable
a player on the field to receive in-
stru.tioPs trom -the bench."'
* * *
That's only thn start of it, but
we know that already y,,u are be-
ginning to get the ilea, and to thrill
with the: po,.sibititils of such a gad-
get. L'tit let us get (51 with it. and
not daily by the srai Ud.
* * *
Put a narrow -beam, voice lnositt-
lated micro -wave generator on the
bench—continues the Times' piece
and the ammonia g s filled ear piece
in the quarterb ks headgear. and
the coach can communicate with the
huddle at will. "Might save penal-
ties against the team when substi-
• tutes are illegally sent in with in-
structions from the coach," suggests
Hershberger. Fill the pigskin it-
self with ammonia gas, he goes on,
• and the quarterback wouldn't even

need an ear piece in his helmet
With the ball cocked behind his ear
he can get such instructions from
the bench as )'The end going wide
to the left is now open for a pass",
or "Watch the opposing tackle com-
ing in on your right."
* * *
As we have already intimated, the
possibilities of the sports inter-com,
system—(and "it was hardly neces-
sary for The Times to say it comes
from California, Where else could
such a thing have originated?)
are limitless. just imagine Lew
Hayman of the Champion Montreal
Alouettes—or Tedder Morris of the
Argonauts—or any one of half a
dozen other football coaches being
able to talk to their quarter -hacks,
person-to-person at alt times and
tell them the tO,l;,'s) just how
lousy they tthe I,j-ti.'s) really are,
5 5 *
An tu, i;,nting prospect and we
wish then, was some way we could
personally conceal ourself within
that gas -tilled pigskin and catch an
earfull; alth',ugh first, of course, we
would want a written guarantee
from the inventor that ammonia
gas is not a high t xpla. i -e.
* *
Dr. Hershherger, at least in the
item quoted, sterns to have visual-
ized his great invention as an ad-
junct only of the -ante of football.
But think of it as applied to other
sports ---such as, for instance, base -
hall
* * *
As each succeeding year mud -
turtles he. baseball tend to become
--at least to those who take it via
the net spaper or radio route—a
gripping struggle, not between eigh-
teen uniformed athletes on the dia-
mond, but between a couple of deep -
thinking master -minds on the bench.
* * *
This year's World Series, as you
will recall. was widely ballyhooed
as a duel of wits between the world-
renowned strategist, Burt Shotton
of Brooklyn, and the equally emin-
ent tactician, Casey Stengel of the
New York Yankees. And in the in-
evitable post mortems, it appeared
that the reason the Dodgers failed
was simply because the hired help
failed to follow, Mr, Shotton's in-
structions, whereas the Yanl:s did
just what Mr. Stengel mapped out
for them; although we, in our in-
nocence, had the idea that the New
York may have won partly because
they got better and more timely
hitting.
* * *
But with this new invention, those
managers will be able to relay their
instructions- directly to the pitchers,
with no possibility of signs being
misread, or stolen by the enemy.
Gee, with that sort of a brain -battle
going on, baseball games are liable
to last for days before a decision is
reached. Sometimes it seems, to this.
observer, that they already do so,
for that matter, without any walkie-
taiklee,
* * *
Then, brethren, there is the mat-
ter of hockey—and that will be the
day, or rather the evening, when
the players go out on the fee, each -
equipped with a Va.-filled helmet,
through which he will be able to
hear the coach instruct him just
what moves to make, and exactly
how to make them,
* * *
We have neither the time or.
space to go into the possibilities of
this to the extent which they de-
serve; but just try and picture Milt
Schmidt o the Bruins or Doug
Bentley of the Black Hawks bear -
ng down en the Maple Leaf Sone,
and !,kap Day whispering—over the
air waves—advice and instructions
right into Turk Broda's ear about

Or, to go even further, just pic-
ture Coach Day equipped also with
such a helmet, by which he .can
receive word front Conn Smythe,
sitting in his upstairs coign of van-
tage, and Hap—in turn—passing

* * *
Souitds a bit far-fetched, even
screwball, you say? Well, stranger
things have happened ere this in
the world of sports. And nuttierl
* * *
Still, on second thought, we
doubt if this new invention will go
very far. For, with each coach or
manager so equipped, what - would
happen to the old. familiar alibi of
"we would have won if the players
had done what I told them." Five

Ing coach or manager is going to be

TKEFAAM FRONT.
Even if the farm you operate is
jt5st of average size, your business
ie still too big and important to
depend on memory, Writing things
down, should . be a regular farm
chore=a chore that can save you
more inoney than you might think
possible. -
' * *
For instance, if you happen to
forget about a bill -for seed or re-
pairs, your income tax will suffer;
and bhere are lots of other ways in.
which proper bookkeeping can
save you money and worry as well.
Disputes over whether you have
paid your neighbor for labor, seed,
etc., can often besettledpromptly
by going to the account book and
seeing the transaction recorded in
black and white, -
* * *
A well -kept account book also
makes it possible for you to Com-
pare receipts and: expenses of one
year with another. This can be
both -interesting and profitable.
* 5 *
How ,can this bookkeeping chore
on the farm be made as easy as
possible? Here are some steps that
may help you: '
e * *
1. Get a good farm account book
before the new year begins. But
look out for hard -to -understand
-
farm account books that crowd too'
mucic iu too little space.
* , * *
The farm farm account book should,
and can, be simple. Farmers don't
need the complicated bookkeeping
systems used by business. You
need a place to write down what
you have bought and what you have
sold, with dates and amounts. It
cast be just that simple,
* * *
2. The second point in making
your bookkeeping easy is to have
a definite place for the farm ac-
count book, and always keep it
there. A pencil should be there, too,
that no one is to borrow-everl
* * *
With a good account book and
a pencil handy, it is easy to write
down every business deal on the
day that it was made, -The -time re-
quired won't average five minutes
per day. -
* * *
It is a good idea to keep all -re-
ceipts and sales -slips, also. These
should have a definite place, the
same as the farm record book. Can-
celled cheques returned from the
bank should be kept with the re-
ceipts and sales -slips.
* -x *
3. Some bills may still be forgot-
ten and not get into the account
book. This will happen when pay-
ments are made in, -small amounts
and no receipts are taken or given.
* * *
One way to prevent forgotten
bills is to make a note of them on
the spot, and place the note in
your billfold, Put such notes in
with receipts and sales -slips when
the amount is recorded in the ac-
count book.
* * *
If the three points above are fol-
lowed, the bookkeeping chore will
not be too difficult. You will find
'it convenient to refer to the record
book often, and you will have an
easier time with your income tax
form,
