Not content with that achieve ment, Mathewson trained the ball so that by jerking or 'turning his wrist sharply at the instant he let go of it bie could make it 'fade' either way and, even more, could regulate its speed at will "The fadeaway operates exactly on the same principle as a -billiard ball struck low ean be 'drawn.' ° When the 'draw English' begins to take effect upon the ball it attempts to return to the pitcher, and if the friction surface was solid instead of air it would do E---- Personal Honesty In England.

The production is between 8,000 'and 10,000 daily. In Spain, Por- tugal, France and Roumania the im- port of the tinder boxes is forbi@den. Italy puts a tax of 1s. 3d. on each box in order to make the price of the tinder box equal to that of the number of matches, estimated at 3,000, that would be needed to replace the new appara- tus.
