is patenting, is simpler and cheaper. The
usual system is TO have a drawing made Of

that they are displayed for the benefit Of

HERMAN-LYNCH BATTLE
REYlVES IRISH QUESTION

| New York, Jan. 3l.-Whe Joe
Lynch won the bantamweight cham
pionship here recently from Pete
Herman, the little New Orleans
Italian made many friends by the
sportsmanlike manner in which he
took the loss of his title.
Lynch IS a real fighter and should
make a good champion. l wish him
the best of luck" the defeated title
holder said in his dressing room after
the fight.
Sammy Goldman, his manager,
made no comment on the decision. It
seems from later developments that
he was reser,ing his opinion unti4
bettev time when he could talk
to more willing listeners.
The day after the bout Herman
and Goldman, with some others, in
Guiding Battling Levinsl,y, sailed for
England. When they arrived in Lon
don, Goldman was interviewed about
the championship bout, which the
British claimed was not a champion
ship bout.
Goldman said the decision was
terrible, according to an interview in
London papers Of recent arrival.
"Not even a draw would have done
Justice to Herman in the Lynch fight"
he is quoted as saying. pete won
nine of the fifteen rounds by wide
margin. 1t seemed that New York had
made up it's mind to prevent any
chance of the championship leaving
America, and with strong Irish ele-
ment at the back of the contest it
was hopeless. All three of the judges
were Irish.
If Goldman is quoted correctly, he
is adding none to the popularity of a
boxer who was never popular as
champion.
His reference to "three" judges is
all wrong as only two judges off,
ciate under the New York rules. His
attempt to gain backing by referring
to the Irish element and the Irish
judges in country where nothing
Irish is popular is cheap politics.
Goldman furtherm ore claimed that
the title was taken away from Her
man to prevent Jimmy Wilde from
winning it and that since Wilde failed,
Herman will be allowed to win it
back.
It is very likely that Joe Lynch and
his manager, Eddie Mead, will have
something to say about "winning back
the title"
It is pleasing, however, to learn
that Herman had nothing to say and
refused to make any statement upon
which the promoters of the Herman
Wilde fight could make a claim for
it as bantam championship affair.

MAY COOL HOMES IN SUMMER
hungarian Engineer Has Designed
Evaporation Scheme to Regulate
Temperature.

Americans may soon be living in
"lce houses"
The houses will not be the kind in
which ice is stored but q new type
Of dwelling designed by Leopold Pol
lax, an engineer and constructor, Of
Budapest, Hungary. He is contem-
plating building house manufactur-
ing plant in Philadelphia SO that the
public will have place to escape the
sweltering heat without trckkmg
shoreward or northward.
Mr. Pollak said that the houses will
be made OF infusorial earth and COW
cred with porous bricks. In appear
ance they will be similar to those
used by the natives Of South America,
who use monkey Jugs" or water bot
ties made Of pottery. TO cool their
homes.
The South American natives place
in each corner Of room water jug,
and in few moments the room Is
cooled by evaporation. Mr.. Pollak
does not go into detail about his new
plan, but states that he can regulate
the cooling Of house in summer in
similar manner as that Of heating
the same building in winter. He said
he can make home as cool as an ice
cellar on the hottest day in the year

KILLED WIFE TO END AGONY
Briton Gassed Woman He Loved, In.

His Own Life.

1.-THE doctor gives aneSthesia to
hopeless agony. The soldier spares a
thrust or q shot to writhing com
rade. Any decent man shoots his
women folk to save them from dis
honor"
Such was the explanation made by
X. r. Eardley for killing himself and
his wife in their little cottage Mt
scarborough, says an English ex-
change.
Mrs Eardley was hopeless invalid,
and her disease had developed to the
point where 1t became necessary to
place her in home for the mentally
afflicted. In the letter from which
the extracts above are made, Eardley
said:
"For two years now my wife has
liked in hourly torment. Her condi-
tion grows daily worse. 1 cnn do moth
Ing more for her; my will TO live aud
win is broken. There Is nothing be-
fore her but the madhouse, without
even the nllevlatlon I have been able
to bring.
However human law may regard
the matter, my conscience justifies
me; indeed, I should live a coward in
my own esteem If failed her in this
extremity"
Even in his sorrow Eardley thought
Of those who would discover the trag-
edy, and in the letter he wrote to the
friend telling him Of his determine
tion, he added:
"Thc bodies of myself and my dear
wife will be found together in the lit
tie dressing room. Great care must
be taken in entering the house; the
dressing room and communicating
bedroom will be full of gas"
After hearing all the testimony and
the reading of the letter the jury
found that the dead man took his
own life and that of his wife while he
was temporarily of unSound mind and
added an expression of sympathy with
the relatives.
