knows one or two pinch hitters. Every employer knows whether or not he has any on his payroll. They are the ones that may be counted upon-but all this is getting away from baseball.
 Perhaps we may remember old Tim kcnfe, one of the greatest pitchers that ever said lncomplimentary things to an umpire--but Tim wasn't in the habit of doing that, And he was a splendid hitter if he would only bat lcft-handed. But he wouldn't. If he batted left-handed that would ex- pose his pitching arm. his right arm, to the fast coming ball delivered by the pitcher. And Tim wasn't going to run the risk of endangering his right arm even though he might be able to hit better for his team if he ran than personal risk.
 Perhaps Tim wasn't 10 blame perhaps the condition of his arm was more important 10 his team than his hitting would have been. But, as to- day there are pitchers in baseball who are used as pinch hitters because they are made of the stuff that delivers the goods in pinch regardless of thought of personal safety, so there must be in the world great many men who would hit well in this Washington pinch without thinking of their own future political welfare.
 We get back 10 Washington after all. Well, pretty serious business there. It's been a great game" ap- parently. Where are the pinch hit ters?

HARDWARE OUTLOOK

For the first time in the reports con corning the hardware trade, there ap- pears the statement that retailers are now showing the tendency 10 place large orders. All through the develop ment of the hardware market in the recent months, in spite of the en- coura cement given by them, there has appeared constantly the modifying phrase that retailers. though op- timistic, were limiting the size Of their orders.
 This situation, continuing from week to week, aroused the feeling that the time should come, pretty soon, if this optimism were to continue, when the retailers would show in a practical manner that the optimism was well founded. Now that time has come and the larger orders prove, be- yond a reasonable doubt as the law yers say that hardware experts knew what they were talking about when they saw no Encouragement in the continued readjustments and the slow increase in trade.
 Current sales in hardware every. where are active and future business booked by jobbers is substantially bet ter than year ago. Demand for builders mechanics and carpenters tools arc making up for the lack Of a big trade in snow and ice implements, which, incidentally. has improved just recently it may well be imagined. Few have great surplus stock to get rid of little capital being tied up in this way.
 The continued splendid reports of the hardware outlook Of course means a continued prospect Of prosperity for this city, such prosperity touched the, in every quarter No mat ter how far removed from the hard- ware business person may be whose interests are here in this city, he or she will benefit directly, as people ofI New Britain have always benefited, by prosperity in the field of hardware. The realization Of this fact should be at every opportunity.

LEWIS IS DETERMINED
Head of Miners Union lnsistcnt That Wage Scale Be Drawn Up for -Four Years Period.

Jacksonville, Fla, Feb. 15.---Johr l.. Lewis, president of the United Mine workers of America, still waa determined on four year wage scale for the central competitive field when the fifth day of the miners and operators joint wage conference opened today.
 Although opposing his stand, the operators had formulated no alterEn- tive proposal. They were declared to be divided. a minority seeking . one year contract, and the majority asking for one of three years. There will be no contest over the wage scale, 1t was said.
 The question of the term Of years. it was recalled, was one that -agitated the recent Indianapolis convention Of the miners in it's last phase, and the demand for the fous year contract, which was adopted, was opposed as strenuously then by some insurgents as some of the operators now are opposing it.
 When Lewis moved yesterday that the term be four years the operators voted him down, a motion to refer irregular differences in Ohio and Western Pennsylvania back to q joint miners and operators conference of the two districts.

TRIAL NEARING END
Closing Testimony Today in Extor- ton Case in Which Barbara La- Marr, Movie Star, Figures.

Los Angeles, Calif., Feb. 15.-Clos- ing testimony for the state will be heard at today's session of the trial of Herman l.. Roth, Hollywood at torney, on an eXtortion charge grow ing out of his alleged efforts to ob- tain hush money from the business manager of Barbara La Marr, motion picture actress, by threatening to file a sensational divorce complaint against the film star.
 Arthur H. Sawyer, the manager, was subjected to extensive crosS- examination at yesterdays session, the defense seeking to show that it was fear of financial loss, not fear of personal disgrace, that led him to negotiate with Roth for the settlement out of court of a divorce action in which Sawyer and several well known motion picture actors were to be naaed as correspondents.
 Today Charles J. Hurt, who is said to have accompanied Sawyer when the latter conferred with Roth, was expected to take the stand as the final prosecution witness.

YOUR TAXES.

The Herald has urged that this year Is no time to plan for anything new that will cost the city money unless that thing is absolutely needed. There was talk of a new city hall. We do not need it this year. Other innova- tions were planned. We do not need them now badly enough to make the tax burden heavier. A tax rate of % mills on a slightly increased grand list, the situation that now seems probable, shows economy during the year just closed and promises econ- omy for the coming year.
 The basis for this reasoning against improvements now which are not badly needed, is a study of the fig ures showing what every person pays in taxes at present. Suppose your in- come is SAP week Your daily pay is s6. four federal income tax is 1S cents day; the amount of tax that is hidden in the rent you pay is 25 cents; the taxes you pay every day on the food and clothing you buy is GA cents. This makes total of si.o2 that you pay in taxes every day, out of the SC you earn, and this does not include, in cases where there is a state income tax to pay that state tax.
 Other taxes sneak in, and when one considers that more than one-sixth Of yonr income goes for taxes. it may be seen easily that there is reason to emphasize the wisdom of the city's refraining from buying anything. 10 be paid for of course by the taxpay- CTS. that the city does not need abso. 1niely. The board Of finance and tax alton and the pruning committee" have had this aspect of the situation in mind and arc to be commended for their good work. When the burden of taxes is less heavy tho Herald will be among the first to advocate city improvements that are advisable as earnestly as it has discouraged un- necessary expenditures, while not for getting that certain financial duties have to be met even at this time.

IL is a good idea to turn away from the sight of something disagreeablc but which must be attended to, and think Of other things-Just to bring a reminder that other things do exist. Well. there is Washington. II isn't pleasant to think about Washington al the moment.
 So how about Christmas--andb base ball? There arc two interesting and exciting matters that never tail to thrill. The merchants have decided what To do about keeping the stores open next Christmas time. and, with happy smiles on their faces they have agreed that they will keep the stores open until 3 ?. m. for six evenings be- fore Christmas and Ui.l close them at p. m. the night before Christmas. So that's settled and we know just when we habitually late shoppers can get the things 10 give away al that happy time.

Building.

St. Louis. Feb. 15.--The use of the hall of representatives of the Missouri state capitol at Jefferson City for a l<u klux klan meeting last Sunday afternoon, which has created poli- teal stir, has been explained by lfober Nations, commissioner of the bureau of labor statistics, according to an article appearing in the st. Louis Globe Democrat today.
 Nations, according to the paper, said that representative of the klan --the membership of which, accord ing to his statement is about 1000 in Jefferson City-rcqucsted him to ask Harry Woodruff commissioner of the permanent seat of government, for the hall, and that he made the request, stating the purposes of the meeting and that Woodruff gladly granted the use Of the hall
 Rev. z. X. Harris Of Blackwell, oklahoma, who was advertised as a national lecturer" spoke at the meet ing.
 The Globe Democrat quoted Ma tions as saying:
 "f thought local people would be in- tcrestod in the attitude Of the klan as expressed by an official representative. The surmise proved correct when the largest audience ever assembled in the legislative hall greeted the speaker Sunday afternoon.

STUDYING THE BIBLE.

People the world over are reading the Bible more generally today than ever before. The number of copies dist strihuted in 1923 was twice the number disposed Of in 1922. There is more manifest demand for the Bible today throughout the, world than at any time during the last 25 years,
 declares the general secretary of the American Bible Society after serving that society in this capacity for quarter Of a century.
 The circulation of the Bible has always been tremendous. And the distribution of 2,S95,000 copies, in 100 languages and dialects this year in this country seems astounding. The question arises immediately as to the cause of this great increase.
 At first it will be said, naturally that the discussion between the so- called modernists and fundamentalists has led to this great interest. Just what does the Bible say on a certain point? is a common question. Prob ably it is true that this controversy, at tonnes so intense, has led many to go into the exact phraseology of the Bible more thoroughly than formerly. But it is also true, in all probability, that most of those interested in these matters already possessed Bibles and few new ones were sold or distributed to them because of the discussion Certainly the entrance of new in- depreciation of the belief of any church can not account for the tre- mendous increase of this year over that of last.
 The cause, il is to be hoped, lies deeper than this, and before the sub ject of the controversy is left it would be we'll to note that many of the older people, orthodox and thorough be- lievers in old things, see that in some ways the present discussion has not done the harm one would expect them to believe it has. Many of these old CT people. firm in their own faith, re- ly upon that faith to such an extent that they are convinced a thorough discussion Of the matter will bring out the truth as they see it, all the more convineingly-namely His diyin- ity.
 But--and possibly the wish inspires the thought---the real reason for the greatly increased pumbcr of Bibles distributed is the fact that after a sea- son of thonghtlessness and careless ness Of life's serious aspects people are longing for something that will tend to strengthen their belief. The war did bring deep thought to the people. There followed the reaction from it, overpowering joy that the tragedy was ended, and thoughtless- HtbS touh lbo Pldte III liit ds d part oA that reaction along with many of the modern, not wholly splendid tendcn- cies. During the last year the symp- toms Of this reaction from the awful ness of war has begun to appear. There is less today of the jazz life than there was year ago. And, as we find our way back 10 solid earth there comes the desire to turn to the toxt book of spiritual strength-the | Bible. Many people who never read the Bible understandingly before or who never read it at all, are today ''just looking into it a bit" and seeing something there which they now un- derstand-something upon which is founded the splendid structure or true, worthy life
