Cabell, now living in retirement here, to partici- pate on October 1, 1890, in the found- fng of the Daughters of the American| Revolution. Mrs, Cabell was the first woman to preside over the organiza- tion, which later, in recognition of her services, conferred upon her & title held by no other member, “honorary | president presiding.” Although less active than former- Jy in the councils of the nrmpizatlon,} owing to advanced years, she retains| glowing enthusiasm for its aims and warm memories of its early struggles. | In organizing the society, Mrs. Ca- bell was a co-worker of Mrs. Mary Smith Lockwood, who died November . in Plymouth, Mass. “Mrs. Lock-| wood and I were always friends,” said | Mrs. Cabell. “I believe an article she wrote entitied ‘The Faith of Hannah Arnett’ had much to do with inspiring the organization of the D. A.

Her mother was of a dis- tinguished Virginia family, and her father, Charles Eliet, Jr., colonel of engineers, organized the United States Steam Ram Fleet in the Civil war. Her associations made her see the need, she said, of renewing pa- triotic unity among the women of north and south. The wife of President Benjamin Harrison was the first president of the organization, but owing to her ill health Mrs. Cabell as vice-president presiding was in the chair much of the time during Mrs. Harrison's life, !and became acting president follow- ing her death. Five years ago she ! was invited to hold the gavel again at a national meeting. FOUR STRIKERS ACCUSED OF MURDER AT TRENTON, HO. d and Pacific ‘by Depreda- Occur. Chicago, Rock Isl Town Stirred U tions—Boycotts Trenton, Mo., Jan. 18.—With four strikers, accused of murder, removed to Kansas City to prevent possible violence and James A. Booher, city marshal, having resigned from office, Trenton citizens were looking to a meeting of all local striking shopmen of the Chicago Rock Island and Pa- cific railroad called for today to end the tense situation which has existed here for some time. Charles Post, strike leader promised when he called | the meeting that he would advise the men to go back to work and he would resign from office. The meeting is the result of & coroner's jury verdict delivered yesterday after a long dis- cussion of the Kkilling of Guy Corn- well, a striking shopman and preced- ing events. The jury accused Booher of failure to enforce the laws and re- quested his resignation. The verdict accused Homer Stamp- er, Charles Peterson, Guy Hile ‘and William_Allerdice of the actual mur- der of Cornwell. The coroner’s jury found that since the strike started numerous depreda- tions had been committed; that the strikers had beaten workmen; had molested strangers in the city and at- tempted to dynamite the railroad company's property. The report further stated that a boycott was inaugurated by which merchants, milkmen and those vend- ing farm products were intimidated and that under such pressure mer- chants in some instances refused to sell goods to t%e new employes of the company; barber shops refused to serve them, shoe shops refused to mend their shoes, landlords in some instances refused to rent thelr prop- erties and that houses were painted yellow and set on fire, ADMITS KILLING FATHER Alliance, O., Jan. 18.—Mrs. Mabel Mae Phifer, confessed slayer of her father, Jacob Howell, whom she said she killed last night because of his abusing and tormenting her and her two children, was held for the grand jury without bail on a charge of first degree murder.

SALVAGE SERVICE DEVELOPED IN AR United States Navy Bene;ts From Experiences During Conlict Washington, Jan. 18.—One of the interesting developments in the Unit- ed States navy as the result of war- time experience was the building up of a salvage service, designed to aid in the saving of wrecked ships and the recovery of cargoes and valuable ship's gear. When the country en- tered the World War the navy pos- sessed no regular salvage service, al- though collections of salvaging ma- chinery had been made at several depots, and apparatus had been brought to a high degree of effi- ciency. But this was used mostly in connection with experimental work in firing at various targets simulating vessels. However, when the gathering of United States vessels, large and small, in European harbors resulted in many incidental minor accidents, and the operations of enemy submarines called for equipment to save costly boats and their cargoes, the navy was quick to build up a service which not only soon repaid the cost of organiza- tion, but has since resulted in great savings. First Step. The first step the navy took was the establishment of a salvage sec- tion of the bureau of construction and repair, drawing personnel and equip- ment from private salvaging com- panies. Salvage stations were estab- lished along the Atlantic coast by the taking over of many private concerns, and by August, 1917, a salvage unit had arrived in France. This consist- | ed of the navy's first salvage veml,) the U. 8. 8. Favorite, a 1200-ton ship equipped with the finest tools and machinery for recovering wrecked vessels. She was stocked with div-| ing apparatus, recompression cham- ber, pumps, and cutting and welding tools for both underwater and sur-| faca work. A 25-ton derrick was| amidships. | Started Operations. Immediately upon her arrival in| France she started salvaging opera- | tions that kept her busy with not an idle day for eighteen montha Her| work consisted in pulling boats, large and small, off the beaches, raising them off the bottom, rescuing torpe- doed ships and towing disabled ships to port. The vessel played an im portant part in repairing the trans- port Mt. Vernon, which was torpe- doed after leaving Brest, and then placed a cofferdam, the largest that has ever been installed in a disabled ship, on the U. 8. 8. Westbridge. Al- most any one of the vessels the sal- vage ship rescued resulted in saving more than the cost of outfitting and maintaining her. This vessel was shortly joined by two others, the Chesapeake and the Manna Hata, all equipped with the most modern gear, and though they continued to do their valuable work for many months, it was not a spec- tacutar task and the men who imper- illed their lives received little recog- nition. One of the important feats they accomplished was the salvage of the British vessel Narragansett, after the attempt had been given up by the British. The American ships came along with advice and equip- ment that made a success of what had appeared a hopeless task. Attracted Attention. The Favorite, while in France, was the most complete and modern sal- vage vessel ever sent out, and at- tracted the attention and investiga- tions of the foremost European ship- ping nations. In the fall of 1919, all salvaging operations having. closed, the Ifavorite returned home, and the other two ships were sold to a British STOP CATARRH!

However, the war-time experience showed the navy the need of such vessels, so two were cquipped espe- cially for the purpose, the Falcon and the Widgeon. They were compara- tively small, strongly built, and have the finest equipment. They can work in rough and shallow waters where other vessels could not venture. The Widgeon will be used on the west coast, while the I'alcon, which has been in service along the Atlantic for some time, has already been valuable in the recovery of two submarines sunk in accidents. Spectacular Feat. One of the most spectacular feats performed by this small ship's crew, accomplished as a regular part of the day's work, was the saving of the Caribbean off the Chesapeake capes. Abandoned by her crew the Carib- bean was afire, but the Falcon’s men boarded her, quenched the flames while loaded ammunition in her cargo was exploding about them and brought her to port. The most interesting part of the equipment of the Falcon is the de- compressing, chamber, into which deepssea divers are taken to prevent occurrence of the ‘“bends” or cais- son disease, which often results from their too rapid release from the high air pressures under which they work. If a worker leaves an atmosphere of high compression too rapidly he is often attacked by this strange dis- ease, wiich may leave him paralyzed or erippled for life, if it does not cause death. This tank has been called into use, not only for the navy's own workers, but for those of other workers in compressed air, and several times it has saved life, Its Operation. The operation of the decompression tank is gradually to decrease the air pressure from that under which the worker has been, to the 15 pounds pressure of the open air at sea-level. While the Falcon was at New York recently a commercial diver working in Connecticut was attacked by the “bends,”” and when he did not re- spond to the ordinary treatment, and his employers feared for his life, he| was rushed to the Falcon by train and automobile and placed in the chamber for treatment. When he arrived he was almost completely paralyzed and his chances seemed slight. He was placed in the cham- ber and, after gradual decompression | for many hours, he emerged without' the slightest ill effects, fully restored to life. Barbed Wire Tangle Holds.

The use of Sage and Sulphur for restoring faded, gray hair to its nat- ural color dates back to grandmoth- er's time. She used it to keep her hair beautifully dark, glossy and at- tractive. Whenever her hair took on that dull, faded or streaked appear- ance, this simple mixture was applied with wonderful elfect. But brewing at home is mussy and out-of-date. Nowadays, by asking at any drug store for a bottle of “Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Com- pound,” you will get this famous old preparation, improved by the addition of other ingredients, which can be depended upon to restore natural color and beauty to the hair. A well-known downtown druggist says it darkens the hair so naturally and evenly that nobody can tell it has been applied. You simply damp. en a sponge or soft brush with it and draw this through your hair, taking one strand at a time. By morning the gray hair disappears, and after another application or two, it be. comes beautifully dark and glossy. Headaches Are Usually Due to Constipation ‘When you are constipated, not enough of Nature's lubricating liquid is pro- duced in the bowel to keep the food waste soft and moving. Doctors prescribe Nujol because it acts like this natural Jubricant and thus replaces it.’ Nujol is a lubricant —not a medicine or laxative — so
