BY Sam Bell.

II RON every standpoint, from
the standpoint of crowd. pre-
liminaries and speed, the mill
ing at the Auditorium last night
was far and away the best seen in
Atlanta-at least. the best since
the boxing revival took the town
twelve months ago. The crowd was
the biggest and most orderly that
ever attended a bout in Atlanta.
The preliminaries were run on
scheduled time, without waits or
the customary substitutions. 1t was
a real relief to see in the ring the
preliminary boys who had been
announced as part of the card The
main bout was the fastest in many
a day. Neither Nelson nor Whit
ney slowed up perceptibly during
the ten sessions. In the tenth they
stood head to head, or rather Mel
son insisted on the head to head,
and swapped rights and lefts in
whirlwind fashion.
WITH a good lead in the earlier
w rounds, especially in the second
and third Whitney unquestionably
outpoined the Battler but his
blows fell on a dancing target that
kept boring in eternaIly Toward
the end of the mill, Nelson's slam
bang tactics began to tell. and he
got to Whitney's body more con-
sistently than before To many the
bout appeared to be Whitney's on
points, hut if the carpenter had

and pushing futile left jabs at one
another. And both itched to get in
with one arm free and do some
real fighting. He let up toward the
tail Of the bout. possibly from sheer
exhaustion-and for that reason
alone the last two or three rounds
were the best of the argument.
MO less an authority than Harry
l Staten liked Nelson in the last
three or four rounds, and while
Staten admitted that the former
champions blows may have lacked
steam because of the terrible con-
dition of his hands, he figured that
Nelson's jabs to the stomach were
doing damage.

MARY ELLEN'S NAUGHTY DAY

Mary Ellen lived in the country,
not far from Grandmother Bent's
house. There were no houses be-
tween, but there were green fields
and trees and wild flowers. Some
times one met carriage or q wagon,
and quite often an automobile.
Mary Ellen was very little girl,
but she was sometimes allowed to go
alone to Grandmother Bent's. On
such occasions mother would tele-
phone to the other house, LOOK out
for Mary Hllen," and then she would
give the little girl goodbye hug
and kiss; and, with many injunctions
to keep strictly to the side OF the

off, whistling.
Half an hour later, Mr.. Wheeler.
in the private Office Of his large book
store, turned around in his chair as
he heard the door open and close.
Have you any work that 1 could
do?" asked Jean Davis, who had
just entered.
Mr.. Wheeler looked the boy over
slowly, with a little frown between
his brows.
Weren't you here week before
last?" he inquired.
Eyes, sir"
"And last week, too, were you
not?"
Eyes, sir"
why have you come again to-
day." The tone was trifle severe.
Because the last time I was here
you said: 4 don't need a. boy this
week Now it is another week, and
I thought you might need one by
this time," explained Jean.
Mr.. Wheeler smiled at the ex-

"And if 1 say I don't need one
this week, you will come again next
week, I suppose"
Eyes, sir; l will keep on coming
until you tell me to stop or you
find that you have work for me-
answered the boy, politely.
"Well, WE'LL" and there was an
other grim smile. Il see you have
perseverance. 1t always counts" he
added. ''Now, see here, boy; If
want to get rid of you, I will have
to give you work; is that it,"
'I don't mean to bother you, sir,
but I'll never get work unless keep
trying" The tone sounded q little
hurt.

I might have you do that. I have
a lot of boxes, and the work would

you not?"

You may begin work to-day as ii

THANK you; I'll try to earn my

and can get something done before

paused to say before he went out OF
the door.

The wonderful growth Of the motor
cycle industry since the first crude af-
fair with small gasoline engine mount
ed on the front forks and propeIling the

in the statement that one American firm
will manufacture 100000 spark plugs
this year for motorcycle use alone. The

merged in q 100000 combination. was
the pioneer American manufacturer OF

ly by out-of-town people, is predicted
by Sam Sharman, whose many years
experience in the automobile business
here has brought him in close touch
with the general motor car industry
throughout the intermountain region,

EASY STEERING IS
ORDER OF THE HOUR

Apropos the apparent breaking down
OF the barrier OF custom and increas-
Ing the number Of women who are driv-
ing their own cars-both electric and
gasoline-are some statements recently
made by II. p. Dodge. general manager
of the Ohio Electric Car company. Mr.
Dodge's statements set forth not often
thought OF angle Of view as to why auto
driving by women Is becoming more
prevalent. He said:
Engineering skill is today bending It's
energles-not without marked results
toward building cars with mechanical
operating equipment for steering, con-
troll and hraking that requires as little
mecha meal understanding and as little
effort on the part OF the driver as is
consistent with the best results Nota-
bic strides are being made In this re-
spect in the electric car field and with
the introduction Of these improvements
has come the Overwhelming circle Of
women drivers.
"This is naturally so, when you stop
to consider that today all that Is neces-
sary TO drive a car forward or back
ward is simply the turning OF a small
disc with the thumb and finger or push
ing little lever or moving the foot
that a brake NAV be applied by pressing
button. or light pressure Of tie foot
that the machine may be steered by an
easily hand moved lever"

CRANKING
DEVICE EFFICIENT

A recent Investigation by the Cadil.
lac company developed some very in
teresting information concerning tho
efficiency of their electric cranking de-
vice.
Out of 617 replies received, 52S own
ers reported that in not one single in
stance had they been obliged to crank
their cars by hand. while only eighty
nine owners had done so. Among the
reasons assigned were number who
said they had cranked their cars by
hand just to see how it was done. The
total miles travelled by the GIT cars was
1,46s,3s5 and the total times cranked
by hand 166, showing an average Of
one hand cranking to each 1865 miles
Of travel, or one in about what is equal
to two years average use.
Another question asked was; elias
your electric system been thoroughly
efficient?" Every reply, without ex-
ception, was eyes
