OF FATS
CAUSES TROUBLE
FOR GERMAN PEOPLE

Stockholm, April 30.-The great
shortage of fats in Germany and the
resulting necessity Of using more Of
all edible fats for human consumption
have driven the empires scientific
men to extensive experimentation
with, so-called mineral wax" The
result has been both a more varied
use of this product and a greatly i'm
proved method of securing it.
Mineral wax is substance extract
ed from brown coal with the aid of
benzine, benzol or other technical SOL
vents. Benzol ia nov used exclusive
ly in Germany for this purpose. Old
methods. have been unable to extract
all the wax from the coal treated. but
the Kaiser Wilhelm institute for ex-
perimentation with coal is now win
ming nearly the entire quantity in the
coal treated. 3:
The main features of its improved
system consist In extracting the wax
under a high pressure. a. much as six
atmospheres, and at a high tempera-
ture. A. brown coal which had pro-
duced only eleven per cent of wax
under the old system gives up Is per
cent under the new treatment.
Mineral wax was used in peace
times mainly for the fabrication of
s~hoe-polish. photograph records and
the insulation of electric cables. It's
high percentage, of sebacic acid
about 60 per cent of its entire -con-
tent-has been turned to account in
the making of consistent fats. 1t is

Ad Wolgast. from whom Willie
Richie won the lightweight title, Is
working as a lumberjack somewhere
in the Northern Wisconsin timber
country, in an effort to regain his
health. For the past several years
Wolgast has been but a shell of his
former self. About six months g
Wolgast disappeared from his usual
haunts, and his whereabouts were un-
known by ven his close friends until
recently when he wrote to a pal In
Milwaukee telling where he was locat-
ed. Wblgast's money is tied up by his
mother and wife, who are in Cadillac,

fortune. which is said to amount to

to go even farther into the woods for
the winter. He limited that he hoped,
through the strenuous life of a timber
cutter. to regain his health and return
to the ring. This. however, is consid-
cred unlikely.
Wolgast started his ring career as a

wrecked the championship dreams OF
q number of promising 1ightweights
and finally was awarded q try at eht
title in 1910. Nelson and Wolgast met
at Point Richmond. Cal. Their battle
probably will remain q ring epic as
long as the fight game flourishes. II
marked the climax of a series of pre-
mier championship bouts In the light
weight division, and Nelson's wonder
full exhibition with the late Joe Cans
still was fresh in the memory of the
fans.
The battle was probably one OF the
bloodiest ever staged. At the end of
forty rounds Wolgast's youth had won
and the Durable Dane was beaten.
For two years Wolgast capitalized
on his championship, taking on claim
