 Dishes that have contained eggs should be rinsed in cold water before attempting to wash them in hot soap suds. The heat of the water cooks the egg onto the surface of the dish and makes it much harder to wash. Forks and spoons will wash more easily if put into cold water before washing.

The New Trend In eoxino

PARIS - Johnny Coulon, former American bantamweight champion, has the Paris doctors puzzled, as well as heavy weight filters. The latter, who can pick him up and throw him across a room when he consents, can't get him one-hundredth part of an inch off the floor when he refuses and talk as his little precautions
 Now what do you know About that The noble art of fighting has now reached a stage where a fighter $ ability to stay prostrate on the floor is emphasized.
 But Coulon hasn't discovered any thing new; he is simply the first boxer to boast about it.
 It took six men to lift Willards
 body off the floor on a certain occa
 sior two years ago. They had to back up a derrick to raise Fulton's classic | fc,m on several occasions. And then
 there is Joe Beckett who won't stay eff the floor even after the wreckine
 crew succeeds in lifting him to an ur- l right position.
 Watch for reports of boxing bouts
 along this line in the near future: "Jack Dempsey, superman of tho
 ring. made a wonderful showing
 against K. o. Brennan in the Aphasis
 Ward at Madison Square Garden last
 night. Dempsey lost no time after tilt opening bell. He rushed in and flop ped face downward on the floor at once. Brennan countered by doin2 likewise. It became clearly a msttei Iof which man could hold out the long.
