WHAT MAKES YOUR
BASEBALL BAT CRACK

Crack! You rise from your seat
in the grand stand. You feel GER
tain that the ball is going into the
bleachers, at least.
Instead of that, you see the
horsehide pop up in a measly little
fly right in the shortstop's hands!
The batter broke his bat-that was
why it sounded so loud. As he am
bles half-heartedly in the general
direction of first base, you see him
disgustedly chuck the willow to one
side.
A baseball bat will sustain near
ly three times as much weight as 9
steel rod of the same weight, says
the Popular Science Monthly. Why
did that infantile attempt at a hit
have to break it?
The reason lies in the fact that
the defective bat was either spiral
or diagonal grained Unless the
stress on any stick of wood is ex-
erted cross-grain, the wood gives
way weakly. Stronger than steel
in one direction, it is weaker than
corncobs in the other. Though the
bat looked perfect, it contained a
fatal defect. The manufactures
could have told this before the var
nish was applied, but not after
ward.
The Forest Products laboratory
at Madison, Wis, discovered this
defect in wood. In the course of
it's work with Sitka spruce and
Douglas fir for I-beams and struts
in the Curtiss- DeHaviland airplane,
the experts at the laboratory dis
covered certain finished pieces of
wood to be unaccountably weak. 1t
was found that spiraling of the
grain or its slanting to one side was
responsible, and in the specifications
drawn up experts stipulated against
a pitch of more than one milf
meter in twenty for stressed parts
of an airplane.

SO far as the Arklight's editor is
concerned. there is no doubt at all
about the standing of the ship in
fleet, concerning which he says:
"Bear this in mind. Ever since the
Arkansas was commissioned she has
been a crack ship. and whenever
there has been action the Ark has
been at the forefront. She was at
Vera Cruz, she was in the North
sea at the srr~erder Of the Ger

verified to other uses. He knows the
fight is lost; yet he sits there, a
bundle of concentrated hatred,
olaring over the border, waiting for
Pancho Villa to die; praying to out
live the man he holds responsible
for his greatest grief.
"The old man says it is not long
now; he thought it had come, the
end of Villa, with this last dis
turbance; he says the rebels days
are numbered.
