Fresh coffee stains may often be
removed from tablecloths and other
white goods by pouring boiling wa
ter on them from height Of or 8
feet. Stretch the part stained
over a bowl which will catch the
water. The last traces of the stain
can usually be removed by washing
with soap and water. If the stains
are on wool or silk material, sponge
with cold or lukewarm water, If
grease spot from the cream remains
after the spot has dried, remove it
by using one of the grease solvents,
such as gasoline, carbon tetrachlor-
ide, chloroform, ether, naphtha, or
benzol. Old stains often require the
use of special chemicals.

The upholstering is not only durable
but is also rich to eye and touch. The
seats are form ftting-the backs high
and comfortable, the leg room for
driver and passengers is generous.
But rich and inspiring as is the ap-
pearance of this new Essex, still Essex
surpasses itself in performance.
The worlds largest sale of six-cylin-
der cars became an Essex achievement
solely because of merit. The car we
now invite you to see is so outstand-
ingly superior to anything you can
have imagined that you must expect
it to command higher price.
But with all these advantages, there
Is also an amazing price reduction.
The Sedan at $795 f. o. b. Detroit is

NO SURPRISE IN
 SHOWING 0F REDS
Fifth Place Finish Last Year
 Was Great Achievement

New York, June 1e (UP)-Base- ball fans up and down this broad land are claiming to be mystified by tho continued presence of the Cin- cinnati Reds at the top of the Ma tlonal Leagues hectic pennant race.
 But there really isn't much cause to call the Reds the surprise" team of the season.
 The gang led by Jack Hendricks finished fifth last year and hasn't been changed much. But that fifth place finish was great achieve lnent for the club, because of the bad start
 This spring the Reds. strengthen- ed by the addition of Marty Ealla- ghan, an outfielder and hitter of great ability, have picked up where they left off last fall. and are mak- ing the pace for the rest of the pack in a fashion that should con- vince anyone they mean business.
 At the Polo Grounds yesterday they went into the ninth inning three runs behind and promptly put on hsttlng rally of four singles and 3 homer 10 grab five runs and win, 10 !, thus eliminating the Giants as an imme edlate challenger for the lead
 Eliminating challenEers Is what they have been doing ever since they assumed leadership Of the league on May 22, by beating the Pirates.
 There have been no fewer than half 3 dozen days since then on winch they had to win or lose the lead
 And they won every time.

 The New York Yankee. have struck their second slump" of the season. They've lost two ball games in row: their defeats have at last reach double figures. and their won and lost percentage has slipped be- low 800. There appears little req son to believe, however, that Miller Higgins has started to go in for any worrying on an extensive scale.
 Oddly enough it was none other than the lowly Chicago White Sox who reached up from the American league cellar 10 smlte the Yankees for their tenth setback yesterday. just as defeat No. 2 for the cham pons had come from the same team the day before.
 Reverse No. 10 can be attributed to air tight pitching by Ted Blank enship who held Murderers' Row to four hits and would have had a to shut out but for Johnny Mostils error in the seventh inning when the Yankees scored their one run. The Sox concentrated all their run getting activities in the third inning when they tallied half dozen runs and drove Herb Pennock to the showers with his second defeat of the season for company.
 Only once before this season have Babe Ruth and company succumbed twice in a row. Lefty Grove and Rube Walherg, twin southpaw rife men of Connie Mack's Athletics. turned the trick at the Yankee stadium April 20 and q.

Arguments of all sorts are bound 10 crop up Tn lodge meetings when fra'ernltles gather in their regular business sessions. but there wasn't sny arguing last night at Walnut Hlll park over which teams won in the Fra'ernsl Soft Ball league be- cause the Junior Mechanics handed the Lexington Odd Fellows d lam hastlnE to the tune of il to 4 hllr the Royal Arcanum battalion was smotherlng the Eagles under a s2 to 17 count,

 Royal Arcanum Wins
 The Eagles may fly high in Mo hlle but the New Britain Aerle base ball team had its wings thoroughly clipped by the Arcan,lms last night, The pitchers on both teams were the goats during the contest which was nothing more than 2 good old-fashioned slugfest. Standing a hom hardment such as has hardly ever been seen in any kind of game Fatrfs for the Eagles and Lus- beck for the Royals came through unscathed from the rattllng fire of the opposing hstsnen,
 An idea of the terrific hitting in dulged In may be gained from the fact that there were no less than 12 home runs driven ont in the nine innings played, Which side had the edge in the circuit drives is a. aues- ton for the scorekeeper to figure out because they came so rapidly after one another that there was lit tie chance of keeping up with the crashing.
 The Arcanums started of in the first inning and scored eight runs. Tn the next three frames they scored 10 more. They got three in the sixth and to make matters certain. they drove in II in the last half Of the eighth. The Eagles couldn't get going in the first but they hoped off at a fast clip in the second get 'ing two counters. Two more came in in the third. four came in in the fourth. two more in the fifth and i've Tn the sixth.
