Most leaders in athletics and physi- cal education believe it the boy should not play the game until he is in the senior ool. And then only when he is the best condition as shown by a jician’s examination. Every candidate for any school athletic team should be thoroughly exam- ined before beizg allowed to join squad.

Whit- man, famous housing expert, on the repair and modernization of the home. These articles are in- tended as s guide in connection with the Federal. Housing Ad- ministration'’s home renovizing campaign. Once or twice a year a heavy southeast storm drives rain through some crack in one of my walls and wets a patch of plaster in a down- stairs room. I have been hunting for that crack for three years. It may be anywhere in the two-story-and-a-half wall, from the joint between wall and roof to one of the window frames, for wa- ter may travel long distances in a wall before showing itself. I have patched all of these suspect- ed places, but have not yet found it. I shall keep on experimenting, for water in a wall is not good for a house. In my case it damages the decora- tions. It may lead to rotting, al- though with me the wetting does not happen often enough for that to be feared; water from a storm dries out before the next storm occurs. Dry- ing may be through either the inside or the outside walls. * * * PAINT BLISTERS TELL TALE When blisters appear in paint on an outside wall, always in about the same places, this is the cause. Water gets into the wall and collects on a part of the framing that brings it against the inside of the clapboards. The water soaks in and is drawn through to the outside by warmth and dry air. Leaks in a brick or masonry wall are usually through fine cracks at the mortar joints, while stucco may leak through cracks or where the water- Proofing has deteriorated. One remedy for leaky mortar joints is to rake them out for an inch and point up*with mortar containing one part cement, one part lime, and five Parts sand. Another is a colorless water-proofing mixture, best applied by @ concern in the business with ma- chines for forcing the liquid in under pressure, * * k SIMPLE WATERPROOFING A clear waterproofing to be put on. with a brush, and that should make a wall tight for two or three years at least, can be made in the proportion of one pound of paraffin dissolved in @ gallon of benzine or pure gasoline. Mixing should be on a hot day, with the solvent at air temperature. Stucco can also be water-proofed with paint. New stucco should have @ soaking with @ solution in the pro- portion of three pounds zinc sulphate to a gallon of water, to destroy the free lime. With stucco a year or more old, this is not needed. Any good house paint can be used. The first coat, applied when the stuc- co is thoroughly dry, should be one- third paint, one-third high quality spar varnish, one-third turpentine. This treatment also can be applied to brickwork. NEXT: Clean hot water, always. Jessie M. Thompson, 64 years old,| resident here for nine years and pre- viously of Devils Lake, died unex- pectedly at her home here Tuesday night of a heart attack. She had) been dead for about 10 hours when found by her son-in-law.

While Passengers Sleep ing any bodies or surivivors. ‘Then, out of the fog and rain lash- ing the shore in the dull grey dawn, came the pitifully thin stream of survivors in life boats—and two who swam safely ashore. Eighty-five survivors were landed in New Jersey. Others were reported here and there but whether they were duplications was a matter of conjec- ture. An airplane, circling the charred hulk of the Morro Castle, re- ported two more boats heading in- shore. ‘The plane, manned by a National Guard observer, also reported sighting bodies in the sea. But little time could be given early in the day to bringing in the dead. All thought was for the survivors, a terror-strick- ‘Those who came ashore related tales of horror, Members of the crew, until curtly checked by officers, told of fu- tile attempts by members of the deck watch to fight the flames which turned the vessel into an inferno. A heroic fight through the waves was waged successfully by Mr. and Mrs. Abraham Cohen, of Hartford, Conn., who swam ashore and reached the beach exhausted. They had one life preserver between them. They were taken to a hospital. Crew members, before their talk was stopped, stated that fire hoses were brought forth only to find there was no water pressure. Flames, gaining quick headway in the rich furnishings of the library, epread so rapidly that the superstruc- ture and upper cabins of the liner were sheets of flame before sleeping passengers could be awakened and brought to the deck. watch was powerless to reak through the wall of fire and to dash around the deck cabins and break the windows in | passengers. ‘The big coast guard cutter “Tampa” jreported she was standing by the | flaming ship as late at 9:45 a. m. east- jern standard time, to attempt the res- icue of “a ni of persons grouped Larger vessels brought their crew of akg directly into New York hi rr. sg Scotland lightship, by which the Morro Castle fixed its position in the “SOS,” is famous as New York harbor's welcome to ships from the south. It is three miles off Sandy Hook. Disaster Watched From Shore The disaster presented a picture of horror to those on the Jersey shore, where storm warnings flew. So brightly did the flames leap that the blaze could easily be seen through the heavy rain and gales which whip- used the coast line at Asbury Park. The ship was described by first wit- nesses as a “globe of fire.” Coast guard stations were scenes of feverish activity. Again and again guardsmen, shadowy figures of the sea in southwesterns and oil skins, ran their boats in the roaring surf only to be beaten back by the fury of the seas. As dawn cast @ mournful grey over the shore, mist and fog settled down to blot out from anxious watchers the arrival of rescue liners and freighters. Occasionally a rift appeared in the haze, permitting watchers on one of two occasions to see the distant grey forms of ocean-going vessels stand- ing by. Dudley Thomas, Havana agent of the Ward Line, derided vague rumors that sabotage might have been re- sponsible for the fire in connection with the recent labor troubles which have harried Cuban dock movements and stevedoring. He said one possible cause of the blaze was lightning. A similar ver- sion was given by & seaman. “It is hardly possible that the fire could have resulted from ignited car- go because it was not inflammable,” Thomas said. However, Maj. Hilario Gonzalez, gan an investigation into the loading of the ship to determine whether there were any signs of sabotage and if all cargo-loading rules had been com- RATHAUS- KELLER in BISMARCK Grand Pacific Hotel Restaurant Rendezvous for Best Foods ing ship and the sea in her vicinity, was given by Governor A. Harry Moore of New Jersey upon his return from an airplane flight to sea. The governor reported he could see at least 100 persons in the water, some apparently alive and swimming and others floating quietly and appar- ently dead, New Jersey National Guard planes were sent at once to sea in an effort to report the position of survivors and guide rescuers to them through the fog and haze. As the morning wore on rescue work speeded up. Additional boats were sighted in the sea mists. Mrs. Renne Mendez Capote of Ha- vana, landed from a life boat to tell how she had given up hope of escape from the flames which had trapped her in a cabin. “I opened the door only to be met by a wall of flame,” she said. ~ “I slammed the door shut and thought it was the end. “Then one of the crew smashed the glass from the cabin porthole and helped me out on deck. He lowered me to the next deck where the life- boats were being manned and I got in. Few, if any, of those on the lower decks could have lived.” Woman Swims to Shore Mrs. Mary Robinson of Richmond Hill, N. Y., fought a heroic battle with the waves and storm for five hours, landing safely but in a state of complete exhaustion. She swam with the aid of a life preserver. She was carried to a first aid sta- tion on the beach, calling incoherent- ly for her daughter, Lucille, 18, whose fate was not known. M. L. McElhency of Plainfield, N. J, reported that as his lifeboat passed around the stern of the Morro Castle he saw passengers clustered together on_a lower deck. The scenes at the Werd Line dock and the Furness-Bermuda dock in New York City were those of hysteria and excitement. Hundreds milled about the Morro Castle's. home pier for news of friends and relatives. As the Monarch of Bermuda pro- ceeded up the bay toward her pier in Manhattan at the West Fifties, the New York police department went into action with ambulances and mounted details to clear the streets to hospitals. Dead Found on Beach The President Cleveland, which an- iswered the Morro Castle’s “SOS”, carried no survivors when she reach- ed quarantine. The first actual dead to come to the beach was a man, who floated in with another man and a gray haired wom- an. The man and the woman were still alive but their condition was described as grave. Nearly nine hours after the “SOS” went out, the liner City of Savannah hovered above the smoking hulk of the Morro Castle, searching for sur- vivors and lifeboats. The number of lifeboats launched was thought to be eight, according to a check of Jersey shore points. Six of these were launched from the star- board side and two from port. The gale was blowing from the starboard side, enveloping the port lifeboat deck chief of the Havana port poiice, be- | in smoke and flame.
