A Royal Distraction â€" Something caused a moment's sharp dist was enjoying a command performance of a movie in London, pressions, are: Princess Elizabeth, the king, the queen raction as I'riiaiu's royal family Left to right, with varying ex- and Princess Margarfl. mm Scanning the Notes on Science in a great metropolitan newspaper we ran across the brief description of a new invention which gives promise of becoming one of the most important innf^vations ever in- troduced into the world of Sport. In fact we cannot think of anything to compare it with, in its possible far-rcacliing efTccts, since some gen- ius invented a battery which would fit into a jockey's hand, and put it to use for the iniprovenient of the breed of Thorouglihred horses. * * » "The newest in football inven- tions," according to the generally trustworthy New York Times, "is a helmet ear piece filled with am- monia gas. The invention has been patented by Dr. VV. D. Hcrshbcrger of the Tniversity of California at I,os Angeles. Purpose? To enable a player on the field to receive in- structions from the bench." « * * That's only tin start of it, but we know that already you are be- ginning to get the ilea, and to thrill with the iiossibilities of such a gad- get. But let us Kct on with it, and not dally by the wayside. « * * Put a narrow-beam, voice modu- lated micro-wave generator on the bench â€" continues the limes pieceâ€" and the ammonia gas-fillcd ear piece in the quarterb ks headgear, and the coach can communicate with the hufklle at will. "Might save penal- ties against the team when substi- tutes are illegally sent in with in- structions from the coach," suKgests Hershberger. Fill the pigskin it- self with ammonia gas, he goes on, ami the <|narterl)ack wnuldn't even Great Datfc^ Gone â€" Acclaitn- •d as tlie (freattii tap-dancer that ever lived, Bill 'litjjftnglei' Rohiii.son pas.sed away at the Igeof 71. In addition to his dfcncing skill Rill was a re- markahlc »|)rintcr, and could run backward faster than most men can forward. He wai onct timed <loinp; 75 yards, back- ward, in 8 and 1/5 seconds; :md if yoii think that's easy, just try it «ome tim». 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 ths sports inter-com. system â€" (and it was hardly neces- sary for The Times to say it comes from California. Where else could such a thing have originated?) â€" are limitless. Just imagine Lew Hayman of the Champion Montreal Alouettes â€" or Tedder Morris of the Argonauts â€" or any one of half a dozen otiier football coaclies being able to talk to their (|narlcr-backs, person-to-person at all times and tell them (the U" '*) just bow lousy they (the •JU'-'^I really are. « :t< « An enchanting prospect and we wish there was some way we could personally conceal onrself within that gas-filled pig.sldn and catch an earfnil; alihough first, of course, we would want a written guarantee from the inventor that ammonia gas is nul ,i high explosive. * * * Dr. Hershberger, at least in the item quoted, seems to have visual- ized his great invention as an ad- junct only of the ganie of football. But think of it as applied to other sports â€" such as, for instance, base- ball. * * * As each succeeding year nnid- turtles by, baseball tends to become â€" at least to those who take it via the newspaper or radio route â€" a gripping struggle, not between eigh- teen uniformed athletes on the dia- mond, bill between a couple of dcei)- thinking master-minds on the bench. * ♦ * This year's World Series, as yoti will recall, was widely ballyhooed as a duel of wits between the world- renowneil strategist, Burt Shotton of Brooklyn, and the equally emin- ent tactician, Casey .Stengel of the New York Yankees. And in the in- evitable post mortefiis, it appeared that the reason the Dodgers failed was simply because the hired help failed to follow Mr. Shotton's in- structions, whereas the Yanks did just what Mr. Stengel ni.ipped out for them; although we, in our in- nocence, had the idea that the New York may have won partly because th«y got better and more timely hitting. » ♦ ♦ But with this new invention, those managers will be able to relay their instructions directly to the pilcliers, 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 dayi before a decision is reached. Sometimes it teems, to this observer, that they already do to, for that matter, without any walkie- talkies. * * * Then, brethren, there is the mat- ter of hockeyâ€" -and that will be the day, or rather the evening, when the players go out on the ice, each equipped with a gas-fdied helmet, through which he will be able to hear the eoach instruct him Just wbjit movt! tV make, and exactly Mtv to make ttiam. » • » We hiive neither the time or space to go Into the posiibiliticf of this to the extent which they de- sarve; but Just try and picture Milt Schmidt of the Bruins or Doug Rentley of the RIaok Hawks besr- ng down Ml the Maple I.esf lone, and Hap Day whfepeHngâ€" over the air waves â€" advice and instructions right into Turk Broda's ear about just how to play the expected shot. ♦ » ♦ Or, to go even further, just pic- ture Coach Day equi|)ped also with such a helmet, by which be can receive word from Conn Sniythe, sitting in his upstairs coign of van- tage, and Hai) â€" in turn â€" passing along the Smythian commands to the help. Oh, brethren I I 1 * » * Sounds a bit far-fetched, even screwball, you say? Well, stranger things have happened ere this in the world of sports. And nuttier! » * * Still, on second thought, we doubt if this new invention will go very far. I'"or, 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 will gel you ten thrt no self-respect- ing coach or manager is going to be dciirived of his greatest asset with- out a struggle to the very de.ith. So take the bauble away, I'oc Hersh- berger, and try to peddle it to the <lirectors of those sports epics they film in Hollywood.

FAIMFBflNI |olm12iw5ell Even if the farm you operate it just of average size, your business is ttiH too big and iniportant to depend on memory. Writing things down should be a regular farm chore â€" a chore that can save you more money 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 there 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 be settled promptl> 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. * * « How can this bookkeeping chore on the farm "be made as easy as possible? Here are some steps that may help you: »â-  * * 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 much in too little space. * * ♦ The 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 can 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, anci always keep it there. A pencil should be there, too, that no one is to borrow â€" 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. » * ♦ 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 amoiints and no receipts aretakeji 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 Ihe amount is recorded in the ac- count book. * ♦ • If the three points above are fol- lowed, the bookkeeping chore will not be too dilTicult. Yon will find it convenient to refer to the record book often, and you will have an easier time with your income tax form.
