lent All Managers Demand
IF Job Is Held Down.

In talking about the desirable quail
ties OF q baseball player to hold his job
In one of the big leagues. Jim Kane
says that a man must bat. This holds
good with every position save that Of
the pitcher. Managers have much
more regard, continued the big Pitts
Tor the most sensational of fielding
players. Fielding can be acquired, but
batting Is an art.
In order to be q successful batsman
a man must study the pitcher just as
the pitcher studies him. He should
look the hurler right in the eye until he
begins to wind up and then watch to
catch the ball the minute 1t leaves
his hand.
There is a constant battle of wits Re-
tween the hurler and batter. After
looking owe a mans slants q few times
one should get SO that he knows about
what to expect under any given cir
cumstances.
or course, the best batsmen will
guess them wrong occasionally, but II
he is alert and watches the ball he
can be prepared to acquit himself we'll
whenever such an emergency arises. BY
watching the pitchers every move q
batsman can get to learn certain tricks
Of manner, such as the movement of
the hand, foot or body.
Even the greatest pitchers have their
peculiar tricks in delivery. One will
move his foot in a certain way when he
Is about to deliver a curve, another has
a peculiar motion of his arm when a
fast n or slow one Is coming. To the
batsman, who is purely mechanical In
his play, there Is nothing GU Of the or
dina y to be seen in these movements,
but the heady hitter soon learns what
they mean.
A batsman should statd firmly on
both feet. If the weight is more on
one leg than on the other he will not
be in a position to step up or back
away, according to where the ball is
pitched. But the w legs doing an
equal share of the burden he can fall
or step quickly and without assuming
an unnatural position, is what j. K.
said in conclusion.

A Teacher In the Making.


She was a popular young normal
student, who had been to a party the
night before, and as a consequence,
was mot prepared" in the geography
class.
The woman instructor, true to her
method Of drawing upon the general
knowledge of a student rather than to
permit a failure, after eliciting two or
three inconsequential "stabs" from
her fair but faded disciple, asked for
the products Of China.
The victim frightened. "Tea," she
asserted, preparing to sit down.
Eyes, and what else?" encouraged
the instructor.
The young woman smiled with
sweet hopelessness.
Nov you can mention others, I am
sure. Just think about It."
"Tea," drawled the flute-like voice
Of the pretty girl, and" puckering
her forehead with an intellectual tour
de force, land laundry work.

German Alcohol stills.

An authority on alcohol stills says
that there are 10000 farm stills in
operation on as many farms in Ger
many. The German government per-
mits the farmer to produce a certain
amount of grain or potato alcohol. the
amount depending upon the size and
location of the farm and the annual
demand for the product, upon the pay
ment Of a reduced revenue tax. Alco-
hol distilled in excess Of the quantity
allowed is subject to the higher rate
Of taxation. Denatured alcohol, how
ever, is not subject to any tax.

Get After the Files.

With the warm days flies multiply
amazingly. Now is the time to at
tack them and prevent the breeding
Of millions from the few hundreds that
already exist.
Perhaps the most effective method
Of destroying flies is by burning
pyrethrum In each room. This stuns
the flies and they can be swept up and
burned.
Flies are dangerous carriers Of dis
ease and an enemy of humankind. Do
your part toward keeping down the
pest and improving the health Of your
community.
