Workers.

Tired out and dripping from the
rain that fell steadily during a large
part of the day, workers in the post
poned tag-day drive for the Instruc-
tive Visiting Nurses Society ended
their labors last night happy in the
knowledge that they had added a
gratifying sum to the fund for improv-
ing the health of the poor.
The exact sum cannot be told until
tomorrow, Mrs. C. Brown Miller,
chairman of the tag day. stated last
night but partial returns show more
than 81 300.
Captains of the fifteen teams re-
ported that Washingtonians gave
largely, cheerfully and freely to the
cause. The contributions ranged from
the pennies and nickles of newsboys,
TO the crisp greenbacks handed from
limousines drawn up to the curb or
deposited by well-dressed pedestrians.

DEMPSEY NOT READY

New York. Oct. 29.--Dempsey isn't
ready to fight yet.
Despite the yarn coming from the
champions circus tent that he was
pining and wasting himself away to
get back in the ring. his manager Jack
Kearns. wouldn't talk business last
night when the New Jersey promoters,
Dave Mackay. offered him $4,000 for
an eight round, no-decision fight with
Willie Meehan. Fred Fulton, Bill Ben-
nan or Battling Levinsky
1t appears that the movie game
hasn't been squeezed for dollars by the
champion and he wantsto try his hand
at that before he risks" his title.
Dempsey's first bid for easy coin on
the vaudeville stage was 'the bloomerp
Of the season. His next whirl with the
circus proved a disappointment aad
finally Kearns came east to sign up
any kind of fight in New York.
That I'D lirt from the ringside IN
Toledo 1.-The champion will fight any
one and everyone was repeated from
almost every flag station on Kearrs'
route up from Texas. 1t looked as
though Kearns really meant to put the
champion back in the ring in the very
near future.
But Maekay could not pin him down
to anything. The only indication of

RESTORING THE ELASTICITY OF
RIRRER

Rubber articles that have become
hard recover their elasticity in short
time If placed in three per cent car
bolic water or three per cent aniline
solution. In the case of the carbolic
solution it must not be forgotten that
black goods exposed to it become
gray II it Is desired to preserve the
black or red color of the goods, that
too can be done. A one per cent So
luton of pentasulpnate of potash is
employed. 1t is true that this smells
unpleasantly, but the restoration of
elasticity is quite considerable.
