A Fortunate Mlshap.

In q certain New England town they
manufacture a wellknown kind of
towel. most efficient for drying pur-
poses. How that towel first happened
to be made in the form which has
proved so profitable to its makers is
the subject of an amusing legend. L.
savors strongly of belonging to the
too good TO be true" genus OF anec-
dotes, and Is as follows:
Once the machinery in the towel
factory, busily engaged in turning out
very conventional brand OF towel.
suddenly went wrong and began. prac-
tically, to go backward. There was
much excitement Eventually the ma
chinery was chastised and set to
rights again.
Butt was discovered that the
towels turned out during that interval
Of mechanical anarchy were of a
texture quite unrivaied for use as
bath towels At once the machinery
was set going backward again. and
has been travelling In that direction
ever since. to the great delight Of the
stockholders In the towel company.

iNvENTS COLlAPSi6LE
METAL CHICKEN COOP
GottIob Helm, of This City, Secures
Patents In United States and
Canada on invention.

Mr.. Gottlob Helm. OF this city, has
jus, been granted patents in the
United States and Canada on col
lapsible chicken coop, which he has
invented. He will organize a COM
pany for the manufacture OF the coops
and win place them on the market

The new coop is an improvement
on the cid style coop and crate as
II is Adjustable and collapsibie. II Is
also hygenic in its construction ana
IL can be opened ~ and thoroughly
cleaned with little or no trouble. The
COOP is made Of sheet metal and wire
mesh and so put together than it can
be opened up on all sides by drawing
cut a few rods and unlatching the
hooks. Another feature is a trough
laid in the bottom of the coop. One
half Of the trough can be filed with
water and the other half with food
for the fowl
Mr.. Helm says that this coop can
be built large enough to accommodate
live stock for passage across the A.

it will prove big space saver.
A working model of the invention is
on display at 226 twenty fifth street

Asks the Authorities That This Place

Points to Himself as a Victim,
Who Lost His Money.

A man yesterday afternoon walked
into the police station in Gary and de-
manded that the gambling Joint Of

Desk Sergeant Glenn RambO, but the
latter referred him to Chief of PO-
Chicago and the man refused to give
his name until he could the chief.
He stated, however, that the matter
would not drop there but If the chief
took no action he would place the evil
dence In the hands of the prosecuting
attorney.
The man who made the complaint was
dressed in the garb of skilled me-
chanic and his demeanor substantiated
his appearance. Il am not a reform
such things but a man who has been
deliberately robbed and I demand that
Mr. Rogers place of business in the
rear of his barber shop and pool rooms

The particular instance which aroused
the luminosity of the players towards
Rogers and his gambling joint was
when the man was sitting in a poker
which they were playing He claims
that he held the prevailing hand until
one of the "housemen" slipped a card
under the table to his partner and
enabled that man to beat him out He
said yesterday that he was not only
positive that he. had been beaten dis
honestly but that he has five witnesses
who can prove that cards were slipped
back and forth under the boards.
