RIVERS DEFEATS
CROSS IN HOT
SUGGEST

FEW YORK, Jan. 15.-Fight
~ fans today were a unit in
declaring that Joe Rivers,
the Los Angeles lightweight, scored
a victory on points over Leach
Cross, the East Side Dentist" last
night by virtue Of his whirlwind
finish in one Of the greatest ring
battles ever fought in this city.
From the tap Of the bell to the fin
ish it was a slam bang affair with
both fighters boring in, fighting toe
to toe and using both hands with
terrible effect
Cross outboxed Rivers in the
first round. scored a clean knock
down in the second, outpointed the
little Mexican in the third and in
the four, and held him even in the
fifth. Then the Boy from the far
West broke loose and tore into
Cross with all the savage fury of a
wounded tiger, battering him from
one side Of the ring to the other for
the next four rounds and winding
up the battle with a cyclonic rally
in the tenth that about put Cross
down and out and forced the New
Yorker to take the worst beating of
his long career.
Cross Started off Well.
Cross started off like a cham
pion in the first round He jammed
many rights and lefts to the head
without return. In trying to
avoid some of the vicious leads
Rivers slipped to one knee. He was
up in a jiffy, however.
In the middle of the second round
Cross admirers had visions Of their
boy. earning knockout, for Leachie

Rivers tore in with lefts to the
neck and a right uppercut in the

hard night to the head. The MeXi-
can missed a swing a minute later
and fell to the floor, but was UP
again Immediately. A left iab
brought blood from the MeXiCan's
nose, angering him so that he
plunged with rights to the body and

CLEVER IDEAS FOR BLOUSES
Delicate Net Waist and Corset Cover
Are to Be Fastened to the
Same Belt.

A clever New York designer has
made use of a French idea in devising
blouses of French net, known as tulle
or blonde and other extremely sheer
fabrics. By themselves, as every wo-
man knows, net waists are so delicate
that the wearing of them is some
what trying and uncertain proceed
ing. 1t is practically impossible to
anchor them securely in any one po-
sition. And there can be no such
quality as eft" because of the neces-
sity of having them large in order to
keep them from breaking out.
This New York designer has got
around these objections by putting a
corset cover of lace, embroidery and
ribbons inside the net waist and fas-
tening both corset cover and waist to
the same belt. The ribbons can be
run in and taken out at will and the
combination corset cover and blouse
easily laundered in one piece. These
blouses are distinct novelty and
quite an inexpensive one. Another
model by the same designer is in
white cotton crepe with a regular
Montenegrin jacket, also of the crepe,
but with Persian border. The color
Ing is repeated in the buttons and the
bow at the neck.

REALLY WILL WHITEN HANDS
Mixture of yellow cornmeaI and ker-
osene Removes Coarseness Within
AZ Short Time.

For softening and whitening the
hands vanity has another assistant be-
lides cold cream. 1t is the simplest
Of home remedies, and has the great
merit Of being far quicker in its ef-
tecte and less bother to use than the
cream. 1t is just a mixture of yellow
cornmeal and kerosene.
Take handful of the meal, as one
would take soap, moisten this with the
kerosene as with water, and rub the
hands as though they were being
washed. After this wash them in
warm water. That Is the whole pro-
cess. Yet the results, particularly If
one must do housework. by which the
hands are always coarsened, is truly
satisfactory.
No odor of kerosene is left after
rinsing, and. strange as it may seem,
the effect is excellent on the tiny cuts
and bruises which come with house
work. OF course kerosene and yellow
meal have not a dainty sound, but the
condition which they produce is dain-
uness, 30 that the important point is
reached after all.

The sheets, which at the right upper
corner are engraved with the home ad-
dress, the envelopes are of sort of
parchment paper in old ivory-a tone
which, at the moment, is ultra-smart
in stationery.
Long oblong sheets of glazed-surface
paper with half-inch lap-over at one
end and fitting into extremely narrow
envelopes with straight flaps, are an
other stationery novelty of this season.
These sheets and envelopes come in
French gray, cream and light brown
shades and to match them are two by
six inch correspondence cards-also
with lap-over ends-and exceedingly
narrow envelopes.
A new idea in mourning stationery
is the envelope in pure white save for
fine line of black defining its deeply
pointed flap but with a black tissue
paper lining. The sheets are merely
edged with black and the address en-
graved in black skeleton lettering.

FROM THE FAITHFUL
Much Money Collected in the

Coin That Are Regularly Collect

Edifces.

Among the many oddities in Japan
which are enormously big in the out

ingly small, We must count the Kwan-
non of Askusa, which is scarcely three
inches in height and yet is housed in
colossal edifice known as the Kwan.

On the other hand, there are not
few things which at first sight appear
extremely small and insignificant and
which in truth assume gigantic dimen'
sions. To this latter category belongs
the saisen (offerings) daily, hourly,
nay, every minute. increasingly thrown
into the offertory chests before the
same Kwan-non Temple of Askusa.
The Nichi Nichi has an interesting
paragraph concerning the receipts of
the Kwan-non Temple accruing from
the 20 offertory boxes placed at va
rious places within the temple com.
pound. The following is the latest
information upon the subject:
At certain stated days all the saisen
Golfers are emptied under the joint su-
pervision of four responsible priests.
and mountains of coins of various de-
scriptions are piled up. One-half of
these coins are five rim coppers. while
40 per cent. of the whole are sen
coins, the remainder being nickels.
small silver and old-fashioned rim
coins with square holes. Sometimes
the priests find paper money. even of
as high denomination as 5 yen and 10
yen.
Every 10 days these heterogeneous
masses of small coins are exchanged
into convenient and uniform currency
or checks. Two money changers named
Messrs. Yamada and Hayakawa are
regularly intrusted with this custom.
The receipts vary according to vari-
GUS seasons. and in the festive season
of the flower season, such as the pres
ent, no less than 1900 yen is obtained
every 10 days. Even when the sea-
son is unfavorable the receipts will
not go below 700 or 500 yen, and the
average monthly income from the 90
offertory Golfers amount to 1000
yen.
The manner of exchange is some
what unique. 1t is not conducted on
the commission basis usually adopt
ed The coins are exchanged, not ad
valorem. but specifically. so to say.
All the coins are iumbled out upon
large scales and weighed, and the ex-
changers take them all indiscriminate-
ly by weight paying yen for every
kwan of the heterogeneous coins.
The regular monthly takings of A.,
900 yen from the offertory chests
alone is certainly a good income; but
we are reminded at the same time
that the expenditures betrayed by the
temple authorities regularly is by no
means inconsiderable. When we are
told that for the repairs of the temple
buildings alone an outlay of from
5000 yen to 10000 yen is required per
annum we can form some idea of the
expenses in other directions.

Pompeii.

Pompeii was overwhelmed by an

buried in ashes for Is centuries when
a man turning up the ground found
a bronze figure which led to further
search, with the result that the whole
city was at last uncovered. The finds
at Pompeii have caused the rewriting
of much history and the realignment
of many opinions about the ancient
