"Then I looped 'round behind him emptied 36 shots into his machine be ef his first exploit. He wrote: "Yesterdity two Germans were re ported not far from here and I was sent up after them. In an hour and a half I was flying at 12,500 feet and fore he noticed me. He did a verti cal nose dive for a thousand feet and then caught fire and fell into the sea 10,000 feet below.

Method of Cleaning Silver Without Rubbing An easy aud effective method of cleaning tarnished silverware by boil ing In a soda aud salt solution In con tact with a clean piece of aluminum or zinc Is recommended to housewives by the United States department of agri culture as n result of studies made by its specialists in home economics. The electrolytic cleaning method de pends on the fncts that this tarnish of silver sulphld Is lightly soluble In the hot solution employed and that it is broken down chemically and its silver content redeposlted on tho wure when tho proper electrical conditions prevail. Tho presence of both tho sil ver nnd the aluminum or zinc in tho hot solution provides tho necessary electrical conditions. Under this meth od, therefore, practically all the silver In the tarnish is returned to the ob ject being cleaned. When silver pol ishes are used, on the other hnud, all the silver In combination in the tar nish is removed. In the cleaning method recommend ed by tho department the necessary materials are a granlteware cooking utensil deep enough to allow the silver waro to be covered by the solution. A clean piece of aluminum or zinc, pref erably the former, and baking or wash ing soda. Tho solution, consisting of a tcaspoonful of baking or washing oda nnd a like amount of table salt to pach quart of water, is brought to a boll in n granitewnro or enameled utensil A Bheet of nlumlnum or clean zinc is dropped In. The tarnished sil verware is then Immersed in tho solu tion so that it is in contact with the sheet of aluminum or zinc. Tho tar nish should disappear In a few sec ond. The silver object should then bo rumored from the solution, rinsed and dried with n soft cloth. Aluminum la f.och more satisfactory than r!nu for use in this cleaning process.

Good Form. GYMNASIUM BOXING HURTS Any Fighter Who Triaa It For Any Length of Tim Loaea Hia Punch, Due to Pulling In Sparring With Partner. How long can Jess Willard remain out ot the ring and still retain bis reputation of being invincible? Dur ing the last three years Wlllard has taken part In two bouts, ono with Jack Johnson and the other the ten round affair with Frank Moran. That Is not nearly enough work to keep a fighting man In shape to do his best work. It Is a rule with few exceptions that when a boxer retires for as long as a year he loses 50 per cent of his form. Jack Johnson was no exception to this rule, although Johnson was a natural boxer who needed less practice than the average glovcman. Willard is strictly a manufactured boxer. lie is not by nature a fighting man, and it was only by laborious practice that he acquired whatever amount ot abil ity be possesses. Willard says the boxing he does ev ery day during the circus seasou keeps him iu good shape. But the champion's circus boxing is strictly a Joke. Ho merely goes two one-minute rounds and lets bis sparring mate do all the work at that Gymnasium boxing has ruined every fighter who tried It for any length of time. It gels him in tho habit of pulling his punches. Willard showed in his bout with Moran that It was beginning to get In Its work. He fought Moran as though he were boxing a sparring partner instead of defending a championship. Insfcnd of stopping bis man, Wlllard merely boxed defensively when he should have been forcing the fight. Ho followed the tactics learned In the gymnasium, which nre altogether different from those used In the ring. Then, too, Wlllard is said to have grown so fat that It Is by no moans certain that he will ever enter tho ring again. However, It is becoming evi dent that ho must, do something in the boxing Hue this winter if he hopes to continue as an attraction with the cir cus, (if late the spectators of his ab breviated sparring skits have taken to hooting at the place where the cheer ing should commence, according to re ports. There are certain signs that tho title holder Is about to indulge in n scrap of some sort. According to the ad vance word, ho will face either Fred Fulton or Charley Welnert. Wclnort lH'obably will get the chnnco if, as seems probable, Frank Moran flattens the gawky Hochester giant when they come together In a few weeks. Willard would no doubt prefer Ful ton, who still looks very soft to Wel nert, who is a good boxer and very fast, even if he Is not much of a hit ter. In ten rounds Welnert might cnuso the champion a great deal of trouble. Of course Wlllard's title would be safe enough If the bout were held In a no decision center, but It might be different If It took place In Tla Juana or some place where the referee would lie allowed to hand down a decision.

Not Her Celebration, Old Zeb Jackson, the champion hlrewnsher. walked down tho main whlrew street of the village one morning dress ed in his best suit, with a large, bril liant buttonhole bouquet and cotton gloves on his big hands.

But we don't. Not even with bellboys, alarm clocks, cold water, wives waiting breakfast and other pernicious inven tions to egg us on, wo don't. Folks havo been getting u;i ever since the world began; and thev don't like it any better now than they did the morning Cain slow Abel. It's just as easy to keep a good man down as it is to got him up. About tho only way to keep from getting up is to lie down and die. And that doesn't always work. Look at Lazarus.
