SHE DANCES AT 81

OAKLAND, Cal, Jan. 24.-Although
she finds it difficult to obtain dan
cling partners her own age, Mrs.
Mary T. Edmundson, 81, lives up to
her belief that "a dance day keeps
the doctor away" For the last two
years Mrs Edmundson has been at
tending classes at a local ballroom
to solve the partner problem.
She says she has danced for forty
years and while the waltz and old
fashioned three-steps are her favor
ties, she does fox trot. She does not
like the Charleston or the ST. Louis
hop.

MORTICIAN IS
WIDELY KNOWN

The personal factor has been a
potent power in the splendid profess
sional reputation of Walter T. Bias
engym, 1926 Shelby ST., funeral di-
rector.
Biasengym has built up his repu-
tation as funeral director on the
basis of dignified service, each fu-
neral receiving his personal super
vision to assure carrying out OF all
the requirements of the case.
He has been established as fu-
neral director for more than eight
cen years, and during those years he
has fitted himself to make a success
of his profession.
ut takes more than mere profess
sional skill in the business of fu-
neral director, I believe, for 1 am
convinced that every successful pro-
fessional man or woman must weigh
the personal factor" Blasengymn
said.
I'VE are proud of the physical
equipment we have to give service,
but we regard the personal element
a much more vital factor in our
practice. We go into homes and in
variably that responsiveness to a
kindly interest in the many details
of arranging for the funeral is man
ifested.
Blasengymn maintains an ambu-
lance service, making calls to any
point of the city. He has special
rate for ambulance services. He has
a lady attendant available for all
professional calls.

TOPS OF AUTOS
NEED CARE, TOO

IF the average motorist paid one
half as much attention to his car
above the hood as he does beneath,
he would not only effect an appre-
ciable saving when the time for
top recovering or reseating arrives,
but he would lengthen the life of
his car" says Al Winter, vice presi-
dent and sales manager of Habig
Manufacturing Company, 1o35 N.
Meridian st.
1T is known fact" says Winter,
that many cars on the streets to-
day are in perfect running condi-
ton because the power plant and
attendant parts have been carefully
looked after at proper intervals. But
unknown to their owners, the tops
are beginning to show marked signs
of deterioration, which. if corrected
Immediately, will cost far less than
if the car is permitted to meet all
climatic conditions with the top in
its present need of repair.
"Just because the interior velour
shows no water spots is by no means
an indication of a good top. In
fact, when water marks begin to
show the top has reached the SEM
blance of a sieve and even the
wooden framework has absorbed its
full capacity of moisture. Then,
much to the surprise of the owner,
the cost of putting on a new top
seems prohibitive. If the top had
been inspected before this spongy
condition manifested itself, the cost
for retopping would have been
nominal"
Another thought worth consider
ing, according to Winter, is the pro-
lection Of the upholstering with
smart seat covers. During the hot
summer days, except for occasional
rain, the windows of closed cars are
nearly always open. Dust and other
fine particles, helped by the vacuum
formed from the speed of the car,
swoop in and are ground into the
upholStering.

The modern home is able to save
considerable money through judi
cious use Of ice, and innovation Of
the new ice cubes, produced and

pany, 1000 Northwestern Ave, has
proved to be a great convenience,
Henry L. Dithmer. president, as
serted.
1--WE are delighted with the
splendid reception of our ice cubes,
which we're placed on the local mar
ket early this summer" Dithmer
said.
Orders have been increasing
each week, showing that the cubes
are not looked upon as a mere
novelty, but as rapidly becoming
household staple. The increased
warm weather has meant an in
crease in the use of ice to preserve
foodstuffs and to make iced drinks.
but the dainty ice cubes have APP
pealed to wide circle of apartment
house jewellers and Others whose
living space may be somewhat
limited.
"The good old ice-box and refrig-
orator are doing real service, it Is
true, and we are selling a tremend-
GUS lot Of ice in bulk, but our ice
cubes, which come conveniently
packed in white parafin-waxed car
tons, have made a hit with refrig-
eratorless housewives.
I'VE take pure, distilled water in
our plant and, after the freezing
process, we saw up the ice by special
machinery, pack the ice in the crys-
tal-like cubes, and deliver it with
out any mess or fuss. It is like
buying a carton of sugar or salt.
The housewife is able to quickly
prepare an iced drink or other sum-
mer-time items on the bill of fare
without necessitating the slashinc
or cracking up of the large block
of ice.

Jack McAuliffe Says Shar-
keys Tactics Will Fail
on Ex-Champ.
OTHERS HAVE FAILED
Lithuanian Upsets Nerves of
Wills and MaIoney.
BY HENRY l.. FARRELL
United Press staff Correspondent

NEW YORK, July 11.-When
Jack Sharkey shouted into micro
phone just before he left his corner
to fight Harry Wills-"I'll knock
him out sure as" he got the goat
of the Negro heavyweight COM
pletely.
The goat-getting process had been
started several minutes before when
the referee was warning Wills that
he couldn't hold and hit.
Don't worry about that" Shar-
key sneered, she won't try it more
than once"
Sharkey employed the same tao
tics when he was getting ready for
his last fight with Jim Maloney and
he so upset the sensitive Maloney
that he blew up completely.
Big Factor In Wins
The Wills fight and the last Ma
loney fight were his greatest fights
and his goat-getting was obviously
a big factor in his victories.
Approaching the fight against
Jack Dempsey here on July 81, 1t is
interesting to speculate on how far
Sharkey will go with his stunts
against the former champion
So far he has been quiet and
hasn't said anything nasty about
Dempsey. On the other hand he
has been as complimentary as he
could be. Sharkey boasts that
Dempsey was one Of his idols, but
that Dempsey isn't as good as he
was in those earlier days when he
was just getting started.
Expresses Opinion
'He got Wills goat and he wor-
ried Maloney to death, but he'll
never get Dempsey's goat" Jack
McAuliffe, retired Zig weig h t
champion, said today.
THAT little Descamps tried out
that bunk about the hypnotic eye
on Dempsey before the Carpenter
fight and Dempsey laughed at him.
Dempsey gave him the eye instead
of getting it himself. Tunney tried
to get his goat by flying to the
fight in Philadelphia, but he failed.
The law had Dempsey's goat.
"Tom Gibbons kept Dempsey sit
ting for half hour under the broil-
ing sun in Shelby and while Demp-
sey got mad he didn't lose his head.
AS a result Gibbons got more of a
beating than he might have other
wise.
LEO Flynn tried to get Dempsey
up in the air before his last fight
with Bill Brennan, but Dempsey
didn't give him tumble. He's not
that kind and if the others couldn't
do it, Sharkey can't.
Dempsey Takes Play
Dempsey, on the other hand, took
the play away from him when they
met to sign the -articles and more
than a year ago he started to work
on Sharkey. They met outside the
office of the boxing commission and
Dempsey invited him to JOIN his
staff of Sparring partners. Digs like
that last a long time.
;"Sharkey is more like a fighter
of the old school, but 1 don't believe
that he'll get the sign on Dempsey
and, on the other hand, Dempsey is
liable to have it on him."
