New Kind OF Safety
Fuse Is On Market

A fuse, known as the Fustat, is
now on the market and is recon-
mended by electricians as being nee
essary for absolute safety. These
new protective devices, similar to
fuses but with important new safety
features, can't be bridged with pen
nies and the safe size is guaranteed
because the wrong size won't fit.
Nothing can be done to stop them
from keeping the current off when
danger exists.
Most electric equipment dealers
have them in stock and they are in
expensive.

Sells Cars 80 Years,
Has Never Driveu One

Believe it or not, but William
Merrick in the 35 years he has
been in the employ of a Blue
Earth garage, has never driven
car. But at the same time he has
sold hundreds of new and used
cars to other persons. Although
Merrick's employer started to
handle cars 80 years ago when the
first Model T Fords were offered
on the market, he has not driven
a car of his own or one belonging
to any one else. 1t is doubtful
whether there is another man in
the country who can beat or even
equal such a record.

One stewed prune, one picked

and peach are well saturated with
brandy or gin; if unable to pro-

Mack Argues Against
0n-Season Curb on
Players Liberty

By the Associated Press.
PHILADELPHIA, Dec. 3.-Connie
Mack. baseball's Grand Old Gentle
man" spoke out today in opposition
to suggestions that the liberties of
baseball players in the OF season. be
curbed.
Mack, who will observe his 10th
birthday late this month, commented
on discussions that have followed the
tragic case of Monte Stratton, Chi
cago White Sox pitcher, whose leg
was amputated last week after a
hunting accident.
Il am not in favor of putting in
contracts any more clauses about the
personal comings and going Of the
ball players" said the tall. lean lead
er of the Philadelphia Athletics. /,
II believe in letting the boys have
as much freedom as possible.
Suppose we did tell the players
they couldn't 30 cunning, flying or
go over Niagara Falls in a barrel?
In the end the player would
rise up and ask: What am /? A
slave, bound hand and foot? My life
isn't my own by any Standard"
After all, when you think of it,
there have been very few accidents.
In my opinion riding in an automo-
bile is much more dangerous than
hunting"

Pinckert's loss, untinely as it is,

backs like Baugh, Smith, Farkas,
Justice, Irwin, Turner, Krause at
