Nelson provided his own coffin, but
there have been men who carefully
prepared their own tombs. Horne
Tooke was one. A large block of black
Irish marble, specially procured for
the purpose, was it's most striking
feature, and it was to be placed in his
garden at Wimbledon, where he de-
sired to be buried. But all his prepa-
rations were vain, for after his death
it was decided that the presence of a
tomb would "deteriorate the value Of
his estate and he was buried in Eal-

SUGAR..

Almost all the sugar in the world
comes from two sources-the sugar
cane and the sugar beet. There is
also maple sugar, sugar made from
the sap Of date palms and from dried
fruits. But the sugar we use in huge
quantities, the loaf sugar, the granu-
lated and the powdered, comes from
the cane or the beet. Fifty years ago
sugar was more or less of a luxury.
Today it is a necessity.

Ryron's Freak Manner of Living.

While Byron was in Ravenna, Italy,
he adopted strange habits. 1t was his
custom to rise at two in the afternoon,
breakfast and ride, and dine at six.
Then he would sit and talk until five
or six in the morning. Or, if no COM
pany were there, he would write a
bit of Don Juan" But his life was
like that of Aubrey Beardsley-up-
side down-the day was the night.

NEWS FROM RINGSIDF

Bob Moha delivered. The Milwaukee
middleweight handed Eddie McGoorty a
neat trimming in their t0-round session
at Milwaukee last Monday.
Reports from the Wisconsin city state
that Moha never gave Eddie chance to
get set, rushing him around the ring from
the first round until the gong rang ending
the tenth round. This puts Moha in the
running as a claimant of the middleweight
title, while McGoorty must defeat some of
the lesser lights before he can hope to get
on with the real stars.

y fighter for what's in the
game, and When find some
Jaing that pays me better than box
ing ! viii give up fighting"
This is what Joe Rivers. the
Mexican lightweight, had to say
when asked why he took up pugi-
ism. And to show that he lives
up to this commercial" idea, he
went on to explain that he never
has fought when the money was to
be split, SO much to the winner and
so much TO the loser. He always
makes a bargain beforehand, and
whether he wins or loses. gets a
certain amount And so good
bargainer is Rivers and such a
good financier Is his manager. Joe
Levy. that they usually get a lot
more money than the other fell
low"
Rivers is a trim little brown man,
snappy- eyed and with cat-like mo-
tions. Rivers wants to be CON
stantly in motion. He is not seem
inglv nervous, looks anything but a
victim Of nerves, but he is built for
action and must have it.

And he is also built for power
Though but a lightweight-he says
1873 pounds is his natural weight
he has a wonderful pair of shout
ders, powerful arms and a neck
that should be able to support his
head even though Leach Cross
showed over his best punch
The little Mexican is only a
youngster, having just passed his
twenty first birthday. He has been
fighting since he was Is. and in
that time has had rs or 26 bat
ties. He has tasted the bitter
ness Of defeat, but has always come
back in good shape and shows no
loss Of confidence in his ability to
beat the world After he gets
through with Leach Cross, whom
he is scheduled to fight next he
wants a chance at Willie Richie,
and from his talk there will be lit
tie to the fight but Rivers If 1t
comes off
In his early career Rivers defeat
ed Billy Cappale Red Corbett, Mar
tin Leahy and frankie Sullivan. In
1911 he scored knockouts iQ bouts
with Danny Webster, Jimmy Rea-
gan. Joe Coster and George Kirk
