DEMPSEY HIDES BEHIND COLOR" LINE

In one of the most dramatic scenes enacted in the history of the prize ring in this city Jack Dempsey, con queror of Fred Fulton and generally considered the foremost heavyweight in the world, with the exception of Jess Willard, took refuge behind the "color" line in Madison Square Gar. den Saturday night, when Joe Jean nette, the veteran negro heavyweight of West Hoboken, challenged hihm to fight before upward of 5000 persons who filled the historic ampitheatre.
 Never in the annals of boxing in New York has a scene like that which took place last night been wit messed. Dempsey, who today stands at the fistic pinnacle as a result of victories over all of the white heavy weights, had come to New York from Long Branch, where he has been training at the request of the boxing committee of the United War Work campaign, for the benefit of which the big tournament was held.
 Dempsey had been matched to meet Joe Bonds third rate pugi- list with a lot of nerve, who is at tached to the U. s. S. Granite State. For weeks Jeanette has sought a match with the Utah wonder, but for some reason best known to himself and his manager, Jeck Kearns Demp- sey has consistently refused to meet a negro despite the fact that he fought John Lester Johnson a ten round bout in this city a couple of years ago and has fought negroes at other times in his career.
 Jeanette's Challenge.
 When he agreed to box at the Gar den show Dempsey stipulated that he be matched with white boxer and at that time refused to meet Jean. nette or any other. negro. With this understanding the committee asked him to come to New York. Several

white heavyweights were sought as opponents for the Utah boxer, but all save Bonds had cold feet.
 Bonds was on hand early Satur- day night prepared to do his best in bout with Dempsey. Jeannette, too, was present and so was Kid Nor folk, another negro heavyweight, with whom Jeannette had been matched to box.
 The show up to this juncture had gone smoethlyA number of excellent matches had taken place and the en- tertainment was voted the best of its kind ever held in this city. Then things began to happen
 Dempsey. clad in the striped jersey and other boxing toggery entered the ring at the conclusion of the match between Willie Jackson and Eddie Wallace which was one of the best of the evening The Western wonder was followed by Jimmy De Forrest, his second, and Jack Kearns, mana ger. Dempsey acknowledged a warm greeting from friends about the ring and from the gallery. Then he glanced across the ring to his opponents corner.
 Instead of the clean limbed Bonds, he saw big black, smiling Joe Jean nette his fists encased in six ounce gloves and in fighting togs. Jack appeared not the least bit disturbed, but Kearns immediately got into the ring and made it known that, under no circumstances, would he permit his man to box the husky negro.
 Dempsey Refuses to Box.
 Kearns explained to members of the committee that he had agreed to let Dempsey box Bonds, and unless Bonds was willing to fight the match would be declared off. Meantime Jeannette with arms folded, struck a pose in the middle of the ring and dared

Make Eireless Cooker.

A tightly built box, an old trunk, a
galvanized-irOn ash can, a candy
bucket, a tin lard can, a lard tub, and
tainers that have been used successful
ly in the construction of ~ireless cook
ers.
The inside container or nest which
holds the vessel of hot food may be
n bucket of agate, galvanized-iron or
tin. This nest must be deep enough to
hold the radiator and the vessel Of
food but not large enough to leave
much space, as the air space will cool
the food. The inside c~ontainer must
have a tlght-itting cover, and straight
sides are desirable.
The packing or insulation must be
some material which is a poor con-
ductor Of heat. The following ma
terials may be used and they should
be dry: Lint cotton, cotton-seed hulls,
wool, shredded newspaper, Spanish
moss, ground cork, hay, straw, and
excelsior.
Sheet asbestos one-eighth inch thick
and heavy cardboard have proved to
be the best lining for the outer con
tainer and the wrapping for the nest.
Heavy wrapping paper or several
sheets of newspaper may be used for
lining the outer %container, but the nest
should be wrapped with asbestos or
heavy cardboard to prevent the hot
stone scorching or burning the packing.
1t is well to have the outside con-
tainer large enough to permit four
inches of packing below and around
the sides of the nest. If a cooker is
being made with two nests, six inches
of packing should be allowed between
the nests. Pack into the bottom of the
lined outer container four inches Of
the packing. Place the nest or inside
c~ontainer wrapped with asbestos or
heavy cardboard and hold steady while
the packing is put around tightly
and firmly until 1t reaches the top Of
the nest.
Make a collar, as shown in illustra-
ton, Of cardboard, sheet asbestos, or
wood to cover the exposed surface Of
the insulating material. This collar
should fit tightly.
Make. a cushion which when filed
with the packing will be at least four
inches thick and will fill completely
the space between the top of the nest
and the lid of the outside container.
1t should fit against the top tightly
enough to cause pressure when the lid
is closed.
The outside of the fireless cooker
can be made more attractive by STAIN
ing or painting 1t. The lid may be
held in place by sc%reen-door hooks and
eyes. The cooker may be placed on
] casters so that 1t can be easily moved.

time and FUEL ARE SAVED
Device Is Warm Weather Comfort in
Any Household-Food May Be
Left Cooking Without Any
Worry as to the Results.

The fireless cooker is q warm wealth
er comfort in most any kitchen. Used
in conjunction with a kerosene stove.
1t means not only economy in fuel but
it makes the kitchen a more habit
able place when the warm days come.
Fireless cookers are now being made
and used in hundreds Of homes in
town and country. What is more pleas
ing to the ~housekeeper than to put
her dinner in the ~fireless cooker before
she goes to town or market and to find
1t ready for serving when she returns?
Advantages of Cooker.
The f~ireless cooker offers several
advantages. The first is economy of
time, as the hOusekeeper may leave
the food cooking without worrying
about the result while she is engaged
in other household duties or while she
is away from home. Some foods are
improved by long cooking at relatively
low temperature. The texture and
flavor of tougher cuts of meats, old,
tough fowl and ham are improved by
slow cooking. Cereals and dried le-
gumes and dried fruits are more pala-
table and wholesome when cooked for
a long time. Soups and stews are
delicious when cooked in the cooker.
Baking, however, cannot be done very
conveniently and satisfactorily in the
ordinary homemade fireless cooker.
Economy of Fuel.
In some sections of the country
economy of fuel must be an important
consideration. The food for the cooker
may be started on a wood or coal
range when the morning meal is being
prepared. The food to be cooked is
first heated to boiling point or the
stove in the cooking vessel and then
this vessel, covered with a tight lid,
is quickly placed in the cooker where
the cooking continues. The cooker is
so constructed that the heat does moi
escape. For long cooking it is neces'
sary to place in the cooker under the
cooking vessel a hot radiator A soap.
stone is the best radiator and can be
purchased at most hardware stores al
so cents. A stove lid, a brick, or disk
made Of concrete, heated and placed In
the cooker, may serve as the radiator

The baby wolf was three weeks old when he came to live at the Hitch
cock home at Great Neck. However, a trip abroad necessaed making other
arrangements, and Hitchcock prevailed upon Addison Miner to bring him up
at his kennels at Port Washington. So Skoy was turned loose among a lot of
elbows and las grown up exactly nke a dog Not only has he become a great
pet but he has copied all the familiar dog tricks. He demands IS much pet
and affection asa any of the dogs o n the place, and up to date there is not
a single black mark against his character or conduct.
To be sure some of the mothers in Port Washington have complained to
Miner that it does not make the village more attractive 20 have a funbooded
wolf u at large in the streets, but Miner asserts that Skoy should be called
innocent until he is proven guilty.
Curator Ditmars of the Bronx ZOO says Skoy is the only genuinely tame
wolf he has ever known. There have been many socaned tame wolves, but
they have never become s. thoroughly domestcated as Skoy. He has been
associated with dogs SO long that he probably imagines he is a dog.
