LONDON, Nov. 11.-Besides the

He expressed a doubt that the Ger

There is no doubt that supplies
of lead are running low in Germany.

OLD NEW YORK BOXING CLUB
 PASSES ITS 21st MILESTONE

One of New York's oldest boxing clubs. the New Polo Athletic Asso- citation, will celebrate it's twenty-hrst birthday anniversary tonight. The New Polo, the scene of many hstic battles. was Incorporated Tn 1893. Its exhibitions of the manly art were originally staged in a clubhouse near the Polo Grounds, but this was de- stroyed by fire about five years after the opening, and the clup removed to a building at the corner of Park ave- nue and 129th street. Tor seven years the New Polo club operated under the old Horton law, which permitted twenty-round contests to be held at reputable clubs, to which an admis-' sion could be charged and at which the referee were allowed to render de- cisions.
 It is like resurrecting the dead to mention some of the star boxers who have fought at the Polo Club. Some Of them are dead, and many of them are all but forgotten, such being the temporary nature of fame, as has been pointed out by other gifted authors. Ike Weir, the Belfast Spider, first. Queensberry featherweight of ths world. now dead, displayed his ,prow- ess before Polo audiences. So did George Dixon, the little coIored boy who was the greatest of all feathers, now, too, numbered among the missing from the worlds passenger list.

PRESERVING UTENSILS.


 Tin or iron ware should not be used for making jellies or pickles or for bottIing and preserving fruits. Fruit juices are acid, some more. some less so. and acid acts upon most metals The best preserving kettle is good enamel one, and this is as true Of the spoons used in stirring if you have not solid silver tablespoon available No metal which may be affected by acids should be used
 In using glasses with tin tops 1t is necessary to cover the jelly with par affin or waxed paper before the tin cover is attached. For bottling and preserves the wide mouthed jars ara probably the easiest to use, and new rubbers should be purchased every year. Do not attempt to use old rub beFs, for when seemingly good they are often in the condition to permit entrance of air soon after sealing.
 The best preserve jar is the simplest in construction. seals most perfectly. washes most easily, has the fewest parts to lose and best protects the contained food from contact with metals.
 All jars should be tested before using. Ell the jar partly full of water, adjust rubber and cover and seal. Invert the jar, leaving it in this position until as sured it does not leak.9 If 1t leaks in yest1gate to find if it is the rubber, cover or an imperfect jar Use such jars for pickles or some food that does not require sealing.
 Fruit for putting up should be just ripe, not so perfectly ripe that 1t is soft, but so that the flavor has been developed and the quality of the fruit is there A wet or dry season has a marked effect upon fruit

TEMPERING CHINA.

The women who have the pleasure Of washing and caring for their china are often to be envied by the women maids. Sometimes maids are real af- dictions, because they are so careless with the most treasured pieces of chi na- It is an instinct with most women to love pretty china, and 1t is an in stinct with many maids to chip fine china through careless handling
 Yet much of this careIessness can be avoided if certain principles are taken into consideration. The first consiI- erati6n is the effect of heat and cold on fine china. The reaction from heat or cold which often results in cracks can be prevented in most instances by a process called tempering
 When china is first brought into the house place 1t in a pan and cover with cold water. Let the water gradually come to boil, turn out the gas and let the water cool.
