FIT AUTOMOBILE TO OWNER
Nearly All Large Factories Do More or Less Custom Work In Ad-
 justlng Machines.

Nearly all of the large automobile factories do more or less custom work in fitting automobiles to their pros pective users in very much the same way as 8 clothier alters ready-made suits or overcoats to fit purchasers. The great difference in the length of arms, legs and body sometimes makes 1t more comfortable for the owner of car if the position, distances, and angle of the seat, footboard, and steering wheel are made accordingly.

 It often happens that the man who tends the furnace wants to sift the ashes and recover the good coal at the same time that he rakes the fire down and builds 1t up fresh. When the ashes are redhot this is an un- pleasant. if not practically impossible, operation. The sprinkling device here shown overcomes this difficulty and also acts as an efficient protection from fires resulting from the removal of too hot ashes.

RIVERS TAXES UP WOLGAST'S
 HOT DEF|---M M'CREARY TALKS

Los Angeles, Mar. 29.-"I will take $1O,OOO worth of that $75,OOO offered as a side bet by Wolgast," said Joe Levy, manager of Joe Rivers, yester- day. Tt will have to be ringside odds I don't take Wolgast seeiously when he shouts about betting $75,OO0 or any part of it, but just to satisfy him, we will take $10,OO0 worth of it.
 'T don't want to talk about this Wolgast-Rivers matter any more, '' continued Levy. "1t is up to Uncle Tom McCreary. He is the fight pro- mOter and what he says goes. We have stated our terms and they are satisfactory to Uncle Tom.
 "You see, we are not in the light of challengers for Wolgast's title. Wolgast challenged us. He did so a few months ago and picked Rivers as something easy Since he has seen more of Rivers work he has got cold feet and has begun to dicker about terms.
 "When he arrives in Los Angeles he can talk about his terms with Un- cle Tom McCreary until he is blue in the face. From now on I am through with the matter, as I have a great many Offorc for Too t0 fiChf and I am going to look after them and not wait for Wolgast."
 Uncle Tom McCreary refused to comment on Wolgast's startling offer to bet $75,000 or any part of it that he could defeat Rivers.

ting game said Uncle Tom yesterday T am a fight promoter and I don't care how much the men bet on them selves. There has never been any diffrence between Wolgast and my self over the matter of terms. In my recent statements I have never said that Wolgast promised to fight for any certain sum, for he did not say so much is so many words. He un- doubtedly gave me the impression that he would fight Rivers for $12,- 800. Before he left Los Angeles we had talk and he spoke of the $1O,- 900 he was to get for meeting Fred die Welsh. He said: Uncle Tom, don't you think that you can get me $25OO more and you keep the picture rights and use them to get the other fellow at lower price?'
 q told him that I might be able to do that and would have to talk over the matter with Rivers and Joe Levy.
 After I had talked the matter over will Rivers and Levy, and found that could get them for $7,5OO, I offered Wolgast $12,O0O, of which he had spoken, and I naturally expected to have the offer accepted.
 "You must remember that this sum is greater than any sum Wolgast ever won in a fight in his life. I don't think that the offer deserved a taunt- ing telegram treating it as a joke. And what is more, I don't think Wolgast ever had a thing to do with that tele- gram"

Paper Bottles.

The latest big monopoly is said to be trust which has obtained control of every machine devised for the man. ufacture of paper bottles and other containers for foodstuffs and liquids. The new package or bottle will be made so that 1t will be destroyed when opened and must be thrown away and a new one purchased with every pack age of food or liquid. This means that bottles for milk, vinegar and all liquids and packages for butter, oys- ters, mincemeat and everything else can be used only once. This will greatly increase the cost of living.

PARADISE FOR THE ACTOR Australia Is the Place Where the Peo- pie Mako Real Gifts to Stage
 FaVorites.

The actor, bronzed from long sea voyage, was praising Australia, whence he had just returned.
 ."Australia's the place!" he cried en- thusiastically. 'If a pretty actress makes a hit over there, the warm hearted Australians aren't content with passing flowers over the foot lights to her. No, no. They pass her a box of gloves, dozen pairs of silk stockings, a turkey, fur huff, or a case of wine. Why, in Milparinka my wife got passed a Callot dress, a Lew Is hat and ten pounds of writing pa per.
 "As for me"
 The actor made a great gesture of arm and shoulder to indicate modesty.
 "As for me-" he said, 'tI don't want to brag. I was never one to boast. At the same time, this 1 will say. No jeune premier ever made the hit did in Parrabetta, Quirindi and the other pants?

There is a locking device in the handle which holds the blade as firmly in place as if it were there to stay. The convent ence of this arrangement can readily be understood, even by those who are not familiar with tools, and to the carpenter himself 1t is a godsend. He can carry dozen saw blades, If he likes, in the space needed for one saw with the handle fast.

CURIOUS BITS OF HISTORY
WHAT AMERICA MISSED.
By A. w. MACY.

lt was not publicly known tIII almost century after the close of the Revolutionary war that the Americans missed a grand opportunity to conquer England In shcrt order and avoid a long, drawn-out war for Independence. In 1776 Gen. John KaIb came over with an offer from a French count named BrogIle to become the William of Orange of Amer lea and lead the patriots to speedy victory. The count rec commended himself most highly, and all he asked In return was, that he should be granted large sum for expenses before embarkatlon, paid liberal sal ary, given absolute command of the army, and granted a prince Iy annuity for life after the war was over. Very soon after ar- rlvlng In America Gen. kalb saw how utterly lnpractlcable and foolish the counts project Was, and he had the good sense to say nothing about 1t. The counts letter of instructions was found among KaIb's papers long after hIs death.

ECONOMY IN LIVING.

In these days of high prices 1t is we'll to remind ourselves that meat is an expensive luxury that can be cut In two. We do not need so much meat as we usually have served. A pound of meat mixed with vegetables and served as a stew will be as satisfying as a fifty-cent steak which is often only half eaten and thrown out to the dog or into the garbage can.
 We eat too much of proteid foods. It has been often proven that we'll masticated food eaten slowly will sat lsfy the appetite on third less than when it Is hurriedly eaten. The over. amount taxes the bodily functions and Is not only wasted but depletes the system to remove 1t.
 For brain workers easily digested food should be chosen; rice, fish, eggs and custards are all good.
 We want dishes that are good, whole some and appetizing, and they may be prepared If thought and study Is put upon the subject, at great saving of the pocket book and no difference >in the attractiveness of the table.
 Goldfish a Ia Mode.-Take cup of shredded codfish, two cups of mashed potatoes, a pint of milk and two eggs we'll beaten, a half cup of butter, pep per and salt; mix we'll and bake in buttered baking dish twenty minutes.
 Mountain DeW-Take a cup of cracker crumbs rolled fine, the yolks of three eggs and half a cup of sugar, juice and rind of a lemon, three cups of milk, and bake twenty minutes. Beat the whites and put over the top for frosting.
 A well-equipped kitchen with all the conveniences for housekeeping Is a great pleasure, but we must never get so welded to it that in an emer- gency we can not get good results with poor, or no tools at all.

Ease After Illinois Man Had

Page Takes Another Reef in Shar-

Burlesque in Nature.

Much to the surprise of the wres-
Ting fans who attended the wrestling
match last night at the Illinois the

was returned winner of the big match
over Jesse Slaymaker of Albany, win
ming the last two falls after Stay

hold. The crowd, much smaller than
at the previous match and largely
made up of admirers of the Dayen-
outcome. In addition to Brondell's
victory, Ionic Page, another Pretzel,
won from Young Sharkey of Chicago.
Another match, pushed in at the last
hour, furnished the spectators with
a good laugh if it did not show them
some of the best holds in the game
The participants in it sailed under
the catchy nom de plumes of "Cy-
clone Kelly" and "Whirlwind Mike"

Slaymaker in the first fall and when
he won after % minutes, Brondell's
friends reconciled themselves to a
second defeat of their friend, little
thinking that he would come back
and win. But for some reason or

endurance, his skill and everything

strength present an act that has thus
far not been seen outside of the large
centers. In fact, Manager Dolly is
congratulating himself on having oh
tanned the big feature for this, his

nous novelist and traveller. Johnson's
travelogue has been called ahead of
any similar amusement enterprise
ever presented before the American
public. 1t tells new and wonder
full story. Mr.. Johnson travelled with
London and at the risk of his life,
in many instances, secured these won
derful slides and moving pictures.
He will tell of the cannibals, head
hunters and other curious peoples and
the motion pictures will show how
they live better than any book can
explain. The famous leper colony of
the Hawaiian islands will also be a
subject for the discourse. The show
will be a strong one. Dalto Frees and
company in Happy Hooligan's First
Trip to the North Pole" will be
only one of the features; Beck and
Preston are clever singers, takers
and dancers, and Tony Gennaro is "A
good impersonater and capable come
dian. Charles De Camo and his dog
Cora" will also be on the bill. London
and New York papers declare Cora"
