GAS BOMBS URGED
 FOR POLICE FORCE Johns Hopkins Physician Says They Should Be
 Used in Self-Defense
By Associated Press

Baltimore, March 2l.-The use by po- lice of gas bombs in instances such as de- veloped last Friday morning, when a negro, barricaded in a cellar, held at bay 200 policemen for three~ hours, has been suggested by pr Robert w. Wood, of Johns Hopkins University.
 T should favor lachrymatory gas, commonly called tear gas, that would temporarily blind the person sought by the police, spelling his shooting aim and making him helpless Dr. Wood said. "such a gas could have been projected into the West Saratoga street cellar by the simple act of throwing.
 "A plentiful supply of gas grenades ought to be available to the police force at comparatively small cost. However. zt should be borne in mind that the gas made for war purposes was intended to inflict heavy casualties, while gas suit able for use by a police force ought not to inflict permanent injury, but merely disable temporarily.
 "A sneezing was would be effective in police work A sneezing gas mixed with a chloroform gas also should be good. for the former would disclose the crimi- naIs location-in a case like last Friday, and the chloroform gas would render him temporarily helpless"

By Associated Pres,

Paris, March 21-The rejection of the
 treaty of Versailles by the United States

 fact for the most part without comment.
 The Journal points out that the ques-

 The Figaro remarks that the demo- crats, who voted against the treaty were partisans of integral ratification, while the republicans who voted for it reJecteh the important articles" and conciuoes that the treaty's fate was largely pro voked by party politics and antagonism to President Wilson. What may be called "the hand of Wilson" says the paper lis. alas, most considerable and most in- contestable in the treaty. It is found from the first to the last line"
 The Figaro attributes to President Will son lack of cIearness in the solution or the question of the Saare valley and the | left bank of the Rhine. and says; But | it was singularly difficult, and in certain points dangerous, to clash with an au- 1 thoritative and dictatorial man, stubborn l in his idiology and ready to have re- course if need be, to demagogic passions | to break down the resistance of govern ments." ., L'Eclair says: All the socialist and all

 l L'Homme Libre accuses some of the leading French newspapers of having shared in the development of the oppo7 sition that defeated the treaty.

Nancy, Ky.-Mr. Marion Holcomb, of this place, says: "For quite long while l suffered with stomach trou- ble. l would have pains and heavy feeling after my meals, also a most disagreeable taste in my mouth. If ate anything with butter, oil or grease, would spit it up. I began to have regular sick headache.
 I had used pills and tablets, but after a course of these I would be constipated. It just seemed to tear my stomach up. I found they were no good at all for my trouble.

Hi Myers Now After NewRecord

Jacksonville, Fla, March a-Hl Myers is a satisfied ball player, but he is far from contented. Pioneers and explorers never are. Hi led the Ma tional League last year in the useful stunt of batting in runs. The feat would have been overlooked had it not been for Ernie Lanigan, the de- mon statistician. Now the rulemak- CTS have added that part of the bat ting to the records for 1920. Tough luck for Hi
 But. wait minute The roly-poly centerfielder of the Superbas Is made of sterner stuff than to quit over q little thing like not having his lSls leadership in the Spalding book ot rec ords. Having unboscmed himself or a few regrets over getting no credit Tor having started something Hi talked a few mouthfus regarding the future
 "I batted 300 for the first time in my career last year because I out guessed some of the pitchers, duoth Hi "I hope to outguess few more and hit 300 again. Another thing that helped me was using a heavier bat, with a wider surface. That gave me q lot of hits l might not have had. Bunting, too, added a few more blows to the total. Double-c crossing the ln- field with a bunt when they are play ing deep will get lot of hits dur ing a season.
 For a right-handed batter l flatter myself that l added many hits to my 1919 total by pumping the ball. If l were left-handed hitter, l am confi- dent I would get even more. rake Zack Wheat. for example. Zack would have improved wonderfully if he bunted once in q while. You will notice that they always play deep when Zack is at the bat knowing he is going to swing hard With Zack's speed and his advantage of being left-handed hitter. he'd be able to beat out lot of bunts.
 Wheat, who was present at the con ference. opined that Hi was right ano that he might put one over now and then this season to please his room mate,

WANTED
 TREATY RATIFIED
By Associated Pres,

Youngstown, Ohio, March 21--Amer- ica missed great opportunity when tho United states Senate refused to ratify the peace treaty, Senator War ren G. Harding, of Ohio. republican candidate for the republican nomina- ton told meeting of Youngstown steel workers here today.
 T would not have accepted the treaty as 1t was negotiated, because it bartered away American nationalftv. but was ready to ratify with reser- vations which safeguarded all Ameri- can rights" the senator said.
 Despite defeat of the treaty, Amer ica will play a big nations part in world affairs and will help to bring about . condition of approximate dis armament and join in promoting peace and the fraternity of nations" he added.

three seasons. He has been hitting at n remarkable clip, fielding won derfuIiy, running bases in startling fashion and dispIayiD plenty of braininess and dash. As an all- around player he Is nearer to Ccbb's stannrd than any one else.
 The chances are that if Cobb Is pushed into the background in 1920 sisIer will turn the trick.
 Babe Ruth is informing tho world that he is going out to annex the batting championship of major league baseball In 1920. The .home run king" of the Yankees made a circuit record last year that may stand for all time. He sacrificed possible singles and doubles to gain home runs. As n result his batting average was only trtfie beyond BOO, many notches removed from the mark made by the league lead Ing Cobb.
 "Dut this year l am going out with the idea of batting .4OO," as- serts Ruth. "I tossed away Rt least 25 or 90 chances last year lo make singles in 1920 because i wanted to add to my home run record. This year I'm not going out to beat my own home run record, but I'm all set to hat .400."
 If Ruth can resist the temptation 10 knock the ball out of the fot,- it fs likely that he will hit at clip terrific enough throughout the year to cause Cobb n lot of trouble fin his efforts to maintain his batting supremacy. But can Ruth, who loves home runs like a miser loves his gold, resist the "kiIi the baIi' impulse!
 If not, then Cobb has nothing to fear from any one but sisier. Hut If he doesn't, then Ruth must be reekoned as n man who, by the use of q little science in batting, may jump ahead of Cobb in the aver ages If the Georgian slips even n trifle.

LOOSE PAPER UNSIGHTLY
AND DANGEROUS BESIDES

This is the migratory season fol
loose paper. Large focks of it have
been coming from the northwest
and flying southeast. The town is
simply speckled with paper of every
size and description. 1t is lodged
against fences and walls and weeds,
and every gust of wind stlrs it up
and brings in a fresh lot,
One morning this week, blowing
paper caused three runaways. One
farm woman lost a large quantity of
milk as a result of a paper frighten-
ing her team. Those having paper
to dispose of should be c~onsiderate
enough to keep it confined until they
can burn it. 1t is impossible to keep
the town entirely clear of paper, be-
cause it ZONES from so many sourc-
es, but thoughtfulness and care will
do a great deal toward reducing the
amount of it. Besides frightening
horses, nothing d~etracts more from
the general appearance of the town
than a lot of loose papers. There is
an ordinance prohibiting the throw
ing out of paper and providing ways
for its disposal, and those who abide
by the ordinance naturally resent the
carelessness of those who disregard
If.

SIX NEW WOLVES

George Eastman returned from
his trip to the Twin Cities last Fri
day, where he went to scout for new
material for the Wolves. He picked
out six men that he believes are just
the class to round out a team-a
pitcher, a catcher, three inielders
and an outfelder. They are all ex-
p%erienced men with satisfactory rec
ords. If approved by the baseball
directors, they will report about the
first of May.
Captain Eastman says there is a
big demand for players this spring
and that he is glad that he did not
delay his scouting trip any longer.
