NEW KIND OF BASEBALL BATS

The present-day penchant Of manu-
facturers and others for substitutes
threatens even those trusted baseball
bats to which every big league hitter
looks to perpetuate his fame. The
forest products laboratory Of the For
est Service, United States Department
of Agriculture, has recently been man
ufacturing experimentally a number
of laminated wood articles with the
idea of utilizing small lumber stock.
Baseball bats are among the articles
which have been experimental on. In
practically every instance the products
made from this material have given as
good service as those made in the reg
ular way Whether they would salts
fy the critical demands of profession
ais who inspect their white ash clubs
with jealous care is matter as yet
undetermined. The fact remains, how
ever, that the initial success OF the ex-
periments cited seem TO indicate that
there is large field heretofore unde-
yeloped in which laminated wood can
be used successfully Attention is cal
led to the fact that, while some Of the
bats have broken under severe usage,
the breaks were not in the glued joints
indicating that the artificial joining
has been accomplished in an entirely
satisfactory manner.
Shoe lasts were also made Of laml-
mated wood and after undergoing the
seyerest usage in various factories are
still serviceable. Hat blocks Of sim
iIarly built up material were tried out

demonstration agents Of the South are
telling the people in their territories.
The State agricultural colleges and
the United States Department of Ag-

the work is yet in the lecture stage
and In others demonstration homes are
being erected which are TO serve as
good examples of architecture in that
community.
Such a home was built last summer
in Talladega County, Ala. Not only
its plans, but its decoration and land
scape setting as well, have been msde
according to the designs Of the Gov
ernment experts. II Is up-to-date in
every detail, but strict economy has
been used in the plans. Beauty Of
line and material are TO be found in
this farm dwelling. SO much care
has been put on the floor plans and 80
many labor-saving devices have been
built in that housekeeping in it will
be easy. The house is built Of lumber
cut on the farm and it Is located ON a
main thoroughfare, where comfort

AMERICAN CANNING SPREADS

Not only will the French people pro-
fit by the lessons in home canning and
drying which have been given their
agricultural leaders this summer by
canning experts of the United States
Department of Agriculture, but the
Syrians, Egyptians, Armenians and
Algerians, as well, are to learn Amer
lean food preservation methods. The
French Government arranged so that
all its agricultural leaders and teach
ers could attend the demonstrations
which were given at Grignon by the
Americans. Besides the French men
and women who took the course, the
woman in charge of large Govern
ment school in Algeria, two men from
Syria, and two from Egypt attended
the lectures. The Algerian teacher, in
addition to the regular demonstrations
and practice periods, took extra work
outside. She will teach home canning
and drying in Algeria this year.
One of the men from Syria, who was
a student at the canning course Is a
doctor of science and director OF the
observatory in Syria The other is su-
pervisor of all the Jesuit missions IN
Syria and Armenia. They plan to IN
troduce the work in Syria and Armen-
| ia. The two men from Egypt had just
graduated from college and were
ready to leave for their home in Cairo
when the canning demonstrations be-
gan. They became so interested that
they postponed their departure and
attended all the lectures. They also
asked for instruction in county-agent
organization. These Egyptians hope
to come to America in the near future
and study the American extension
methods.
The work in France will not stop
/ with the return of the American teach
ers, for the leaders who took the
course will teach the French people
home canning this fall and the Amer
| lean committee for devastated France
is taking up the work. A bulletin on
canning has been written by the Am
erican home economic workers for the
use of the French Government.
