NEW KIND or BASEBALL BATS.
The present day penchant of
manufacturers and others for sub
stitutes threatens even those
trusted baseball bats to which
every big league hitter looks to
perpetuate his fame The forest
products laboratory of the forest
service, United States department
of agriculture. has recently been
manufacturing xperimentaIlv d
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
regular way. Whether they would
satisfy the critical demands of
professionals who inspect their
white ash clubs with Jealous care
is a matter as yet undetermined
The fact remains, however, that the
initial success in the experiments
cited seem to indicate that there IS
a large field heretofore undevel-
Oped in which laminated wood can
be used successfully.

COMING OF THE KING
STOPPED THE~CLOCK;
TOO MUCH FOR TOWN
King Albert of the Belgians, Greeted
BY Town Clock With A Lie
On It's Face

Whether or not the coming of real
live King was too much for the old
town clock in st. Anne's steeple that
doles~ out the time, hour by hour, b
the common people. is hard to say,
but certain it is that few hours be-
fore the coming of His Majesty and
the distinguished party accompany

Perhaps kings stop clocks. Who
knows? Perhaps town clocks in COM
mon. ordinary. everyday democratic
towns as ancient as Annapolis are
overcome by the presence of royalty,
lose their head and, well simply be-
come so overpowered with the sense
of their importance and what is about
to be thrust upon them that they can't
stand it, and-stop.
Certain it is that the town clock on
ST. Anne's steeple, which, under sordi-
nary circumstances is a self-respect
ing timepiece, completely lost its head
early this morning. probably with the
thought that some one was coming.
and that someone a real live King.
that it stopped short at five minutes
after five, and, when King Albert
drove out West street at thirty five
mile an hour clip, he was greeted with
the Annapolis town clock, wearing a
lie on its face.

was the only lie told in town while
