HEAD HOLD GIVES
VICTORY TO LEWIS

Stranger Lewis, one OF the greatest
catch as catch can wrestlers in the
world. made his first appearance last
InEton Theatre, and signalized his en-
~ by winning a bout from Karl Po-
rfBfl, the Giant Bohemian, after a
sensational struggle for IL minutes
Il was the Strangers famous head
lock that brought Popisil to a condi-
ton Of exhaustion and made easy the
ftl Popisil put up game fight,
ana while he never had the Stranger
ii danger, he made it very interesting
Tor him. Many other interesting
ihouts entertained the big crowd in
4tfendance.
Ropisil made objection to the
sfrangler's formidable deadlock.
which he claimed usually developed
Unto a strangIe. Bothner assured
Popisfl he knew the difference be-
tween a deadlock and a strangle, and
that If Lewis shut off his wind he
would stop it.
Popisil Is an eel in defence, and for
five minutes he kept out of danger.
Then Lewis clamped a head lock on

TO SAVE GASOLINE.

There is plenty of gasoline for all
purposes both peace and war, but
none to waste, according to Motor
Age. Figures compiled recently sug-
gest that $4,000 gallons can be saw
ed daily by attention to the follow
ing items (there are seven Of them
and four lie within the province Of
the individual motorist):
Tank wagon losses, 1900 gallons;
leaky cal bureters, average one-sev.
enteenth pint a car, 1910 gallons:
poorly adjusted carbureters, one-half
pint car, 100000; engines running
idle, one-quarter pint car, $50 900;
wasted In garages, 10 pints a day, g.
600; saved by using kerosene in gar
ages, los, 5000; needless use of passen.
ger cars, 1 ga pints car, $4,000
gallons.
Savings Of 100000 gallons will
provide for the Army and Navy, in
Guiding airplanes, which require the
highest grade of gasoline The fol-
lowing suggestions will be widely dis
tributed through the country in the
form of posters in garages, newspa-
per notices, and the like:
Save the Gasoline.
1. Store gasoline in underground
steel tanks. Use wheeled steel tanks
with measuring pump and hose. They
prevent loss by fire, evaporation and
splitting.
2. Don't spill or expose gasoline to
TOro fac ridIxy tC dor
gerous.
8. Don't use gasoline for cleaning
and washing; use kerosene or other
materials to cut grease.
4. Stop all gasoline leakages Form
habit of shutting off gas at tank or
feed pipe.
Adjust brake bands so they do
not drag. See that all bearings run
freely.
6. Don't let engine run when car is
standing. 1t is good for starter bat
terry to be used frequently.
7. Have carbureters adjusted at SER
vice stations Of carbureter or motor
car companies; they will make ordin-
airy adjustments without charge.
g. Keep needle valve clean and adj
just carbureter (while engine is hot)
to use as lean mixture as possible. A
rich mixture fouls the engine and is
wasteful.
9. Preheat air entering earbureter
and keep radiator covered in cold
weather; this will insure better va
porization.
10. See that spark is timed correct
ly with engine and drive with spark
fully advanced; a late spark increases
gas consumption.
II. Have a hot spark, keep plugs
clean, and spark points properly ad-
justed.
IL. Avoid high speed. The average
car is most economical at Is to rs
miles per hour.
IS. Don't accelerate and stop quick
1y; 1t wastes gas an, wears out tires.
Stop engine and coast long hills.
IA. Cut down aimless and needless
use of cars. Do number Of errands
in one trip.
Is. Know your mileage per gallon,
Fill tank full and divide odometer
| mileage by gallons consumed.

IN their first out-of-town game this

kekBall team last night took 2O-S

titorium 1t was not an auditorium

RossnbauEn team nearly touched the
ceiling with his head. It can be seen
from this that it was impossible to
take long shot and as this is what
the visitors are trained mostly in 1t

boys from the hilltop played rings
around the Rosenbaum boys as far as
playing was concerned, but 1t seemed

to shooting.

1t times with the results that many
fouls were called. To give an exam

FOOT BRIDGE OVER
BERKSHIRE POND

Construction of the wooden foot
bridge across the Berkshire pond con-
Meeting East Bridgeport and North
Bridgeport at Roosevelt street and
Island Brook avenue is rapidly near
ing completion. It is anticipated that
the structure will be open to pedes-
TRANS next month.
Work has again started on the
trestle at Housatonic avenue and Con-
gress street. The wooden trestle will
be replaced by steel Orders and the
sidewalk will be put in line with the
new Congress street line on the north
side. Inability to get steel pieces has
delayed the work since last spring.

ular sport among the members Of
the Senior Class. The game is quite
new to many of the members but they
have taken special liking to the
game and many have developed SO
rapidly that. they already handle
themselves like veterans. Two games
are in progress at time and from
the appearance of the faces Of both
the players and the spectators one
can see that there is keen competi-
ton as we'll as action in all the COM
tests. ~
Next week the players viii be or
ganizcd into permanent teams and a

General for the Nineteenth Judicial,

pears in this issue of the lndepend-
emit as candidate for reelection
has made faithful, conscientious
official, who has tempered all acts
with mercy, yet he has been firm in
the enforcement of law, and in off
cial capacity has been a great factor,
in Kidding his districr of crime and
lawlessness. He is a big hearted
man, generous and kind and at the
same time firm and true to his con
victions, taking no pleasure in the
punishment of anyone, but always
trying to adjust affairs so they will
conserve the best interest of all con
cerned, and trying to lift the crimi-
nal to higher plane.
Mr. Buttram is known by nearly
every man, woman and child in the
district, and is one Of the best cam
paigners in the state. as was shown
in his race with Congressman Aus
tin in 1914, in one of the liveliest
campaigns in the history Of this con
gressional district. Mr. Austin won
the race, and Mr.. Buttram gracefully
accepted the result, and is now one
of the best friends that Mr.. Austin
has in this district.

Mr.. Rankin has shown himself a
capable and efficient man in the pc

bers Of the order in Mr.. Buttrams

Western Newspaper Union News Service
Columbus, Ohio.-Commission mer-
chants, called here for a conference
with Fred G. Croxton, Federal Food
Administrator for Ohio, agreed to SUBJ
NIT plans, in the form of resolutions,
by which three important problems in
volved in the handling of perishable
food products may be solved. These
three difficulties, enumerated by
Croxton, and which he asked the com
mission men to help solve, are:
l. The prompt adjustment of differ
ences between shippers and consign-
ees which are apt to lead to waste of
perishable food.
2. Prompt unloading of all cars.
8. Release of more cars for trans.
portation by eliminating as far as pos.
sible the reconsignment practice.
Like the retail and wholesale gro.
Gerry men, previously called here for
conference, commission men also have
their troubles, and they told them to
Croxton, but before leaving the con.
ference all agreed to cooperate in
every way possible with the food ad.
ministration.
While there were present at the
conference merchants engaged in the
handling Of butter, eggs and poultry
as well as few hay and grain com
mission merchants, most of the dis
cussion had to do with the problem OF
handling potatoes.
Rejection Of many cars of potatoes
by consignees because of damage
from frost was said by the commission
men responsible for the congestion OF
the products in railroad yards al
Cleveland and elsewhere. G. Fl. KEEL
ley, commission merchant represent
alive, on the staff of the Food Admin
istration in Ohio, who presided over
the meeting, said that Ohio dealers
had received lot of potatoes caught
by the frost In the Northwest
Some of these shipments should be
rejected" Kelley said, But on the
other hand, there are many cars re
jected by consignees simply because
the market goes against them. Sucl
fellows as these should lose their Ii
cense."

CIeraymen Are Expelled.

Mexico City.-The arrest and expul
sion of a number Of foreign clergymen
was announced in statement issued
by the Governor of the Federal Dis.
trict The statement says the clergy.
men already have been sent on their
way out of the country, together with
other persons classed as undesirable,
The expulsion of the clergymen is said
to have resulted from their failure to
comply with the provisions of the new
constitution, which permits only Mex
ican-born priests to exercise religious
functions.
