FLAT BASEBALL BAT.

It's Inventor Thinks 1t VIII Tend to In
crease Hitting.
An application has been made at the
patent Office in Washington for patent
on baseball bat which promises to
solve the problem that is bOthering the
baseball world at the present time by
increasing the interest and popularity
Il the national game. The two prin-
cipal advantages which are claimed
are:
First.-That foul balls which now
glance off the round bat will take a
more perpendicular direction. enabling
the catcher to have opportunities to
put out the batter which he now hacks
and incidentally avoiding the annoy
ing monotony of watching ball after
ball disappear over the grand stand,
while the catcher dashes into the boxes
or against the net In the vain effort for
an out.
mountaineering the chances OF
hitting fair ball and with more pre-
cision as to direction and distance. 1t
Is etlucut THAI nat SuTidCc even VI
half an inch will offer much greater
degree Of certainty to the batter than
with the round bat, where one point
must meet the ball in order to drive it
straight ahead. and. similarly, IL the
ball strikes above the center Of the
bat the tendency will be to glance. up
ward from q fat surface.
In every department Of the game of
baseball improvements have been
made since it's inception except in the
matter Of the bat. which is now prac
tically what 1t was in the beginning.
Several prominent baseball players
have expressed favorable opinions OF
this bat, and as soon as the spring sea-
son opens 1t will be tried out In prac-
tice by many of the professional teams.
If its superiority is demonstrated it
will be ultimately adopted by the ma
jor leagues. F. A. Ware. who Is sthe
patentee, conceived the idea OF q fiat
surfaced bat while watching games
last summer.

foremost miniature painters Of Amer
lea, was born In Cincinnati, Ohio,
january 20. 1860. and received his
early education in the public schools
OF that city. Later he spent four
years in studying art at the Royal
Academy at Munich, where he re-
ceived four first-class medals. Upon
his return to America In 1884 he took
up his residence in New York City
and for number of years was en-
gagged in painting and teaching. Since
1892 he has made miniature painting
his speciality and has won wide rep
utation in that branch of art. His
works won high nonors at the inter-
national exposition in Paris in 1900
and also at the Buffalo and st. Louis
expositions For number of years
Mr.. Baer has served as president OF
the American Society of Miniature
Painters.

Wants Official Spanker--$1OOO q Year

Trenton, N. j., Jan. 29.-A new
freak bill In the New Jersey legis-
lature has raised a spanking breeze
about an Official "spanker" for the
State Home for GIRLS. in this city.
A bill for this measure is to be In
troduced next week and will provide
for a salary of $1,000 year
Those interested in the institution
urge the appointment of a woman,
whose sole duty 1t will be to forcibly
discipline all of the girls who require
it. There are applicants to burn.
One woman has written saying that
she is the mother OF Is children and
considers herself well up in the art.
Another describes herself as being
six feet long, weight $50 pounds net.
and states her ability to spank till
the cows come home.
In Training for Job.
A third quotes her desirability
owing to the fact that she has been
using dumb-bells, punching bag
and boxing gloves for years.
The disciplinarian will have full
power as an expert critic to determine
the punishment in each instance.
She will not be allowed to employ
assistants, only where greater
strength than she possesses is neces-
sary. She will have Office hours at
the institution and an hour for lunch.
She will not be required to do any
spanking on Sundays or holidays.
One woman proudly communicates
that she can spank anything from a
husband to a mule, and could even
take little dust out of an alligator
If he was naughty.
This valiant member says that al
ways, as matter of keeping in form,
she would spank her children before
and after meals, shaking well, of
course, before using.
It's Really an Art.
One woman, blacksmith, per-
haps, claims the credit of considering

THE GOOD ROADS NETTING.

Favorable mention is being made
in the county press of the meeting
called by Mayor Gellatly for the 18th
of February, to consider the ques-
ton of improved highways for Che
Ian county This movement is a
worthy one and doubtless the meet
ing next month will be a representa-
tive one and will result in definitely
crystallizing sentiment in the coun-
ty in favor of good roads.
Inasmuch as delegates to the state
convention will be appointed at this
meeting to act for the county, it is
especially desirable that the attend
ance be large. Chelan county can
not afford not to be represented at
Aberdeen by a strong delegation. If
the state meeting throws it's influ-
ence in favor of a trunk highway
from Seattle to Spokane, Chelan
county delegates must be there in
force to cooperate with delegates
from north central Washington to
see that the route UP the Wenatchee
valley is recommended.

streperous and hostile to liberal re-

As the time approaches for taking
the census, each city on the coast is
planning to have every one of its
citizens included In the count. 1t
frequently happens that when the
enumerator begins work in particu-
lar district, some people are tenn
porarily away and there being no one
to give the required information, they
are not included in the count. Be-
fore a person can be enumerated, GER
tain facts relating to age, sex, nation
atty, etc, must be given. In Port
land, the commercial club is en-
deavoring to get this desired infor-
nation beforehand from persons who
expect to be temporarily out of the
city, so that their names may not be
omitted in the enrolment. The
chances are that some people in We
natchee may be missed in the emu
meration and If a little forethought
would prevent this, the trouble would
be worth while. Wenatchee must
make a good showing in this CEN
sus.
