a new kind Of surgical splint in
which galvanized wire netting takes
the place Of wood, has been put on the
market, says the Popular Science
Monthly. It has been tried and offers
many advantages. The steel entering
into the construction of this woven
wire splint is SO tempered that 1t can
be nodded by hand. Being galvanized.
the wire is sterilized and at the same
time welded into a single piece; that
cannot fray out at loose ends. AS the
eplint Is porous, 1t allows a certain
amount OF evaporation and air circu-
lation to the dressing beneath, which
wood or plaster does not. The splint
comes rolled like a bandage and il
lighter and less bulky han wooden

BAT FACTORY NOW IN FRANCE
Demand Is Far Greater Than Supply
Difficulty in Obtaining Proper
Kind of Wood.

There is a baseball bat shortage in
France and our boys "over there" have
nobody to blame but themselves. The
trouble Is that they have developed
such Benny Kauff waIlops that the
bats are splintered faster than they
can be shipped from America. The Y.
M. G. A. has been sending them over
by the thousands, but the demand is
far greater than the supply.
A bat shortage is a serious thing, for
the fighting man, back from the trench
es for a breathing spell, finds nothing
so restful as a good, fast game of ball.
To solve the problem the Y. NJ. C. A.
has erected a factory in France and is
turning out a bat which, while not as
good as the ''made-in-America" brand,
is helping to fill the bill. The difficulty
has been to get the proper kind of
wood, but the head of the factory is
experimenting with various yarieties
and expects to find the right thir.

BASEBALL EXECUTIVE
MAKES FINE RECORD
President Tener Has Done Much

cessfu in Leagues Long History
-Fostered Several Pieces of
Legislation.

John Kinley Tener, former profess
sional baseball player, ex-congress-
man, ex-governor of Pennsylvania, has
resigned as president Of the National
league.
President Tener was born July 25,
1868, in County Tyrone, Ireland,
which makes him ineligible for the
presidency of the United States, but
as the executive head of the National
league he has almost as many worries
and responsibilities as the occupant of
the White House. He certainly earns
his salary of $4,000 a year.
In the years preceding President
Tener's tenure of Office, the National
league was conducted pretty much as
Mexico has been for the past several
years. The Maderos and Huertas and
Villas and Carranzas and Zapatas of
the circuit split up into little cliques
and waged almost constant warfare
on each other. The selection of Gov
ernor Tener as president marked the

and narrowed slyly his little beadlike
eyes. "I'm going to put crimp In

well into the small hours. The Cali

that was balm to her soul. She want

to forget the charms of other women.
The faint feminine perfume of her was
waited to his brain. He felt besieg-
ing of the blood. ~:
Stepping behind the chair in which
she sat, he tilted back the head Of lus-
trous bronze, and very deliberately
kissed her on the lips. ~
For q moment she gave herself to
his embrace, then pushed him back,
rose, and walked across the room to a
little table. With fingers that trembled
slightly she lit cigarette. Sheathed
in her close-fittlng gown, she made a
strong carnal appeal to him, but there
was between them, too, q close bond
of the spirit. He made no apologies,
no explanation.
Presently she turned and looked at
him. Only the deeper color beneath
her eyes betrayed any excitement.
"Unless I'm bad prophet you'll get
the answer you want when Sheba
comes back, Colby"
he thought her reply to his indis-
cretion superb. It admitted COM
plicity, reproached, warned and at the
same time ignored: Never before had
she called him by his given name. He
took it as token of forgiveness and
renunciation.
Why was it not Genevieve Mallory
that he wanted to marry? The mine
owner carried with him back to his
Office sense of the futile irony of
life. A score Of men would have liked
to marry Mrs. Mallory. She had all
the sophisticated graces of life and
much of the natural charm of an un-
usually attractive personality. He had
only to speak the word to win her, and
his fancy had flown in pursuit of lit
tie Puritan with no knowledge of the
world.
In front of the Seattle & Kusiak EN-
porium the Scotsman stopped. A lit.
tie man who had his back to him was

that concealed volumes.
Those who were present remembered
the words and in the light of what took
place later thought them significant.
"Anyhow, it is quite social event
for Kusiak," Macdonald suggested
with a smile Of irony.
Without more words Holt turned
back to his bargaining. The big Scots.
man went on his way, remembered
that he wanted to see the cashier of
the bank which he controlled, and
promptly forgot that old Gid existed.
The old man concluded his purchase
and drove up to the hotel behind one
of the best dog teams in Alaska.
Gideon asked a question Of the por-
ter.
"Second floor. That's his room up
there" the man answered, pointing to
a window.
"Oh, you, seven-eighteen-ninety-

have the atmosphere she had found In
the New York cabarets. If everybody
talked at once, she felt they were hav-
ing q good time. If nobody listened
to anybody else, it proved that the af-
fair was a screaming success.
Mrs. Wally was satisfied as she bade
her guests good-by and saw them pass
into the heavy snow that was again
falling. They all assured her that
there had not been SO hilarious q party

One old.timer, a tritle lit up by rea-
son of too much hospitality, phrased
his enjoyment little awkwardly.
TITS been great. Mrs. Selfridge.
Nothing like it since the days Of the

Mrs. Mallory hastily suppressed an
internal smile and stepped into the
breach. "How do you do it7" she
asked her hostess enviously.

"What else could one say"
Genevieve Mallory always preferred
to tell the truth when 1t would do just
as we'll. Now 1t did better, since It
contributed to her own ironic sense of
amusement. Macdonald had once told
her that Mrs. Selfridge made him think
of the saying, Monkey sees, monkey
does" The effervescent little woman
had never had an original idea In her
life.
Most Of those who had been at the

of the fact that the storm had quick
