PAGE FOUR HUGE HOSPITAL CURES .SHIPS OF WOUNDS .(Continued from Page One) tanker O. B. Jennings of Bayonne, N. J. 4 In April the Jennings collided with a British tanker. Both were carrying oil cargoes and the impact from the .. collision set the oil afire. Thirty-sev- en members of the crew of the British vessel were burned to death. Two others sought escape by diving over- board but landed in a flaming oil- covered sea, and were roasted alive. Only one aboard the Jennings was killed. Blaze Is Very Fierce. For several days the blaze was so fierce that salvage ships were unable to approach either ship. Finally, they managed to beach the British ship. The smoke for a time prevented ap- proach to the Jennings. When it finally cleared, the heat prevented ap- proach. Finally destroyers were brought up several score of shots fired into her. Forty holes were made in the hull, and she sank just far enough to put out the blaze. The Jennings wash then beached, and the remainder of the oil removed by pumps. the cargo removed from the Jennings was 10,000,000 dollars. The Jennings has been repaired, and now is ready for sea. The British vessel is still submerged, but she is expected to be floated soon. 'Close to 1,000,000 dol- lars worth of cargo.is being removed from her. . ENTERTAINED AT TEA.

But the plain fact is that man’s artillery beats the clouds into fits, If the distance at which each can be heard is any cri- terion of the intensity and volume of sound. The gunfire in Flanders has been heard in London countless times, while it is quite impossible to say how far the famous mineburst on the Vimy ridge, produced by human agency, though not gunfire, could be heard. But it is doubtful whether the loudest thunder that ever pealed has been heard 20 mlles away. One of the greatest thunder storms of recent years occurred in the Rich- mond area, but not a sound of it reached London, and it is on record that when the church steeple of Lost- withiel was destroyed by lightning to the accompaniment of such a roar of thunder as the oldest inhabitant could not remember, no sound was heard 30 miles distant. The explanation of this seeming anomaly is possibly the fact that thunder is produced in the air, and the sound is .conveyed by earth waves rather than by air waves—London Chronicle. . — Worth While Quotation. i “Qreat men had good mothers, but if all good mothers had great sons there would be a surplus.” ISTATES’ STANDING It is estimated the value of | ON AMENDMENT If the Constitution of the United States is to be amended to provide for national prohibition of the manufac- ture and sale of intoxicating liquor, three-fourths’ of the 48 states com- prising the on must declare in favor of the amendment, each by a majority vote in its legislature.

WOMEN HANDLE BIG SHELLS Youna Mother Gave Practical Demon« stration of Their Physical Fit- ness to Do So. ‘When women first were put to work In shell factori¢s in England they handled only the light field-gun shells. Later it became necessary for them to turn out larger shells, and doubts were raised as to whether the women were strong enough to handle them. A young mother settled the question, “Let ‘me heft the shell” she sald, plcking one up from the floor. “Aye,” she commented, “this shell s a mite heavy, 'tls true, but it’s not_so heavy as my baby.” There is a shell factory in the Liv- erpool district operated almost exclu- slvely by the daughters of business and professional men. Many are young gifls, who had. never done any kind 'of -work !other than“needle work and ‘cooking. The héavy work of the establishment 18 ' performed: by - the wives of sailors. - This is a nonprofit-making factory and it is the reply of the Cunard com- pany to the Germans for the sinking of the Lusitania. Animal Weather Prophets. Regarded as weather prophets by the natives, the ‘“black howlers,” largest of the Panamanian monkeys, set up a roaring howl almost sugges- tive of the lion for volume of sound. They howl oftenest before or during a storm, hence the native belief. . $1C0 Reward, $100 The readers of this paper will be leaged to learn that there is at least me dreaded disease that science has Jeen able to cure in all its stages and ihat is catarrh.
