FASCINATING HEART-GRIPPING PHOTO-PLAY - “THE MASTER KEY” GRAND THEATRE thrilling story of myst- THAT (By Hal Sheridan) Boxing teas for women don’t go around New Ybrk City. The gentler sex that makes its way home via the New York subway is willing to tackle other things Parisian, but when it comes to watching two hus- kies maul each other around the ring —-well, that’s another story. John Weismantel, who runs the Broadway Sporting club in Brooklyn, made the bid for the women fight fans. John advertised that he would put on a weekly tea party, with box- ing strictly on the side. After thor- ough press-agenting, John threw open the club for the first affair at which he promised feminine boxing enthusiasts would gather. It was pretty tough on John. There were plenty of “‘gents” in their shirt- sleeves, who chewed gum because John had admonished them not to smoke in the presence of ‘“ladies,” but there was only one “lady” pres- ent. She confessed that she was sent over the bridge by a New York paper. Princeton graduates and under- graduates are expressing some sur- prise at the naming of John H. Rush of Cleveland as head coach of the Tiger football team. the Princeton record of the 100 yards —9 4-5—while he was in school— but took his football on the side- lines. Some of the Princetionians, however, are pointing out that Bob Zuppke, the most brilliant coach the 1914 season produced in the west, was not a letter man in football when he attended Wisconsin university. Poughkeepsie may take on all the aspects of Henley in fhe English re- getta season as the result of the change in the rowing program to be- come effective at this year’s races. In- stead of bunching the freshmen, ju- nior and varsity races in the afte noon as in the past, the two minor, events will be rowed in the morning. There were some crities who were of the opinion that this would re- duce the size of the crowds. The belief expressed here now is that tho arrival of crowds in Poughkeepsie on the night before the big races, the mingling of old friends and the op- portunity of making the hike up the river a sort of vacation will trans- form what formerly was only an af- ternoon’s outing into a real sporting event.

Not a single casnality bad occurred then, nor did one happen during the ball. by some extraordinary chance; yet some determined assaults were made by the besiciers, and three thmes a waltz was stopped short in the middle for all the men to turn out and help in the defel London Answers A new Australian law requires that methylated spirits shall contain enough naphtha to make them un- palatable for drinking and thus pre- vent their sale as intoxicants. Geological survey. figures estimate the coal production of the United States last year at about 510,000,000 short tons, a decrease from 1913 of about 60,000,000 tons.

Michigan Avenue of Chicago to Be Widened and Extended. «World famous thoroughfares — like the Champs Elysees, Paris: Unter den Linden, Berlin; Rings! , - Vienna: Piccadilly, London, and Fifth avenue. { New York city--do as much perh: to lure travelers -from the uttermos| parts of the world to their respective cities as any other single object of in terest in them, writes Walter D. Moo dy. managing director, Chicago plan coramission, in the American 5 Perhaps the -most spectacular and most needed street improvement ever undertaken in a large city the Chi cago Michigan avenue extensi proved by the people at the Nov. election and which will cost $8,000,000. It is likely that Chicago today in its fascinating mile section of Michigan avenue skirting the lake front and coursing the heart of the city possesses the most splendid business thorougl; fare in the world. This is not only true because of the magnificent facade of the palatial buildings, but also on account of the fine perspective afforded by the great-opén space just opposite in Grant park. The widening and extension of Mich- igan avenue is to be on the two level plan, the river to be crossed by a dou- ble deck bascule bridge. This mam- moth bridge, the first of its kind to be constructed anywhere, will bave a span of 210 feet and a width of ninety feet Light traffic will take the upper deck | and heavy traffic the lower. The two level extension of Michigan avenue is proposed solely for the pur- pose of separating the north and south and south approaches to the upper level will be on so slight a grade as to make the elevation almost impercepti- ble. The significance of the Michigan ave- nue improvements in the plan of Chi- cago is best seen in the fact that it forms the eastern boundary of the “‘quadrangle” in the plan. This “quad- rangle” is bounded on the north by Chicago avenue, on the west by Canal street and on the south by Twelfth street, These four streets are destined to bear the heaviest traffic of any four ‘ets in Chicago. Tlre development of the “quadrangle” will complete the | foundation of the street circulatory system in the plan of Chicago. No improvement is needed in Chicago ave- fnue. That thoroughfare is now 100 ! feet wide. New System of Garbage Collecting. The ity of Syracuse. N. Y..-has-in- stituted a novel type of automobile zarbage collection by which it has rid itself of the nuisance of open wagons scattering garbage through the streets and giving off an unpleasant odor, says the American City. | Two motor trucks are used for the new service, and each is of three| tons capacity and carries 108 cans of | 100 pounds capacity. As the cans are “not al s full the average load is about three and a half tons. -Each Two are stationed at all times on the folding ruuning boards. Their wor is to place in position on the car the | eans which are brought from the yards i by the four collectors. the truck driver and two assistants empty the truck. These assistants stay at the plant. Part of their duty is tc wash the cans and have them ready for the next day's service. In the meantime clean cans, which have been used on the previous day, are placed on the truck, which returns to the city for the next load. The trucks are neat and attractive in appearance, and if the system, which is in the experi- mental stage, proves satisfactory a sut- ficient number of trucks will be pur- chased to extend the service over the entire city. A Popular Movement. About 100 boys, the sons of mem- bers of the Rochester (N. Y.) Chamber of Commerce, recently made a day’s trip to two of the Rochester factories. This custom, instituted by the Chicago Association of Commerce, seems to be gnining in popularity throughout the country. For compressing air in a tank an Italian inventor 'has brought out an engine without a fly wheel, a piston being driven hack and forth in a icylinder by oil fuel and pushing the ‘air ahead of it at each end.
