WILL REVEALS WOMAN'S MANIA
 FOR LAVENDER

LOS ANGELES, Jan. 10.-What is declared to be one of the strangest wills ever filed for probate in South ern California has been brought to light in Los Anglees. The will is that of the late Elena Stanislaus J. Wolf skill Hulburt. It's terms indicated that the testatrix was fascinated by purple and lavender colors.
 Mrs. Hulburt's will, which was for less than $10,000, gave minute details as to how she wanted to be buried and made the unique request that various personal effects of purple and lavender be inferred with her or burned in heap,
 'If whoever this concerns does not do it they will regret it!" was one passage in the document.
 Later it was learned that the re- quests of the will were not carried out because of the fact that she was buried before the contents of the will were known.
 q wish to be buried in my dark purple plaid skirt, my wisteria waist with the sailor collar and my purple jersey sport coat I wish to have al, my artificial bouquets, violets, or ;If, ,11 of hnr a are purple or lavender or ochid buried with me. I wish that all my personal waists. ribbons, handkerchiefs, Xii monos, stockongs, slippers and my old red silk kimono and all by writing papers, envelopes and correspondence cards, scarfs, bags, purses, anything of mine that is purple or lavender or orchid, or any of those shades, to be burned-burned in a pile. If who ever this concerns does not do it they will regret it!
 "When I am laid away l wish you to put me away wearing my purple amethyst ring, pin, chain and ame thvst pendant and other amethyst pil , that are in my blanket I use for my pillow. I wish you to inter with me a purple silk bag with contents un opened, also an envelope like thos' from dry goods stores that is marked priyate-I wish these to be buried with me-and for no one to ope1 them. These are my last wishes"

SIX-DAY GOOSE DIET
 FALLS ON PALATE

ATLANTA, Jan. 10.-Louis Pazoll prided hmiself on a large and noisy flock of geese, but Louis neighbors didn't seem to care particularly for their vocal efforts and complained to the police.
 The police called on Pazoll and in- formed him that the keeping of geese conflicted with certain ordinances of the city of Atlanta and therefore something must be done.
 Pazoll, nothing but a law-abiding citizen, decided that whatever they suggested in the premises would be done, especially after the acting recorder, which is Georgia for police judge had told him that he must pay a fine for this violation of the city code.
 Pazoll was, in the varlance of the street, "up against it. 1t was a einch that he couldn't eat all Of the geese - in one day.
 It was copperriveted fact that he couldn't sell them, because there were no purchasers. Finally he had real idea He would eat the geese. The police were reasonable and granted him permission to eat the flock. Six days they granted him tC eat the flock-one day.
 On the first day things were love i ly. The Pazolls ate goose. The next day the piece de resistance was goose. On Friday there were slight murmurs, caused without doubt from the memories of goose on Wednes day and Thursday.
 Saturday wasn't so bad, but or Sunday culinary rebellion raised its head in the Pazoll household-bu still the Pazolls are eating goose.
 For Pazoll is a law-abiding citizen

AGED VETERAN DIGS HIS
 OWN CRAVE; EQUIPS TT
 WITH LID AND WINDLASS

SYRACUSE, N. Y., Jan. 10.-Dan- iel E. Brown, Civil War veteran, wanted a grave that would fit"
 So he dug it himself in spite of his S0-odd years, relatives found to their surprise when they accom- panied his body to the Lowville Cemetery.
 Brown first measured himself, then went to the undertaker's and se- lected a casket, measured that and next dug his grave, lining it with three-inch concrete. Brown fitted a five-section concrete cover to the vault, and the funeral cortege found a windlass thoughtfully ill place be- side the grave, left by Brown to aid the bearers.

No Financial Panic

The total outlay for six of the great est ball players the game ever has known could not be stretched beyond s5 900 if the money were made out Of elastic sleeve garters.
 That being the case, what may we expect from Willie Kamm, for whom the White Sox are alleged to have handed over $1OO,000 and four play CTS, and Jimmy OConnell who either cost the Giants $75,O00 or John Me Graw is trifling with the decimal system. Reckoned on quoted values, Kamm and O'Connell should be the respective batting leaders of the American and National Leagues in 1923 by matter of fifty points. This possibility however, is so vague as to be almost beyond recognition. If either or both hit beyond ,330 some thing more than a mild sensation would be the result.
 175,00-kronen
 In the first place, the $175, ,000 said 1 to have been paid for this pair would probably sell for less than $100,000 in any American bank. At least 50 per cent of it was the well-known "let- 1 tuce" usually flashed by the leering villain in the second act
 In the second place. kamm and l O'Connell must clear mental hurdle 1 their first year out They will be ex pected to live up to the inflated values placed upon them and their slightest misstep will be the occasion of much comment. They will be marked men and an overdose of attention from fans and critics has cramped the style of many others who came to the major leagues under similar circumstances There was Rube Marquard, for in stance-he cost the Giants the ther amazing sum of $11,000, and it took the left-handed young man almost three seasons to live down the un
 
 welcome notoriety achieved by the transaction. Lefty Russell once was the means of separating Connie Mack from S12,OOO, which comes pretty close to being track record. Lefty never made the big time grade.
 ChappeIIe a FizzIe
 Il The late Larry Chappell was an other. The White Sox claimed they | paid S1S,0OO for his release. He never hit a lick in the majors and moved around the Outfield like a man bur dened with a ball and chain. Marty O'Toole was another monumental bloomer. He is said to have cost the Pirates $22,500, but so far as return on the investment was concerned he was worth about $22, Mexican.
 Inflated purchases of this kind dis couraged some of the magnates, but the system has been revived some what since the draft was killed, and be | purchases have been more satisfac tory. The Reds did not regret having handed over more than $40,000, SC called, for Pinelli and Covenney; nol did the Tigers enter any late-season objections to the deal that brought them Pillette and Johnson and brought Portland the alleged sum of $4O,OO0
 McGraw, however, did not get S35, ,0OO worth out of Ralph Shinners and certainly the Browns are big los CTS on the Danforth business. In short, the thing is just gamble-no more, no less.
