The Wind Sail.

1t frequently happens that after dis
charging a cargo of IL particularly
malodorous nature it is necessary to
let the air reach certain parts of the
hold of Il vessel not served by the fixed
regulation vcntilators. To effect this
purpose II portable canvas ventilator,
called wind SAIL" is employed. 1t is
cylindrical in shape and is kept in po-
sition by means of stays. When it is
erected the air blows down it, and the
hold is soon pure once more.

Sharp Instrument Found in Heart
Of Physician
SUFFERER HAD COMMITTED SUICIDE
cHILDREN,s BONES so FRAGILE
THAT THEY SNAPPED
IN TWO.

LONDON, March 24-Two remark
able cases in which surgeons are
much Interested have just been re-
vealed. One was the strange discov-
cry made in the course of an autopsy
on the body of DR.. Jeffrey Owen Par
sons, a young Wimbledon doctor, who
committed suicide the other night.
Dr. Barton said at the inquest that
common needle was discovered
three-quarters of an inch above the
apex of the left ventricle of the heart
and fixed across it with the point up
ward and toward the right side. 1t
had evidently entered low down in
front of the heart, near the apex, as
ventricular wall, but no mark could
be found in the skin corresponding
with the point of entry. The needle
was so black it must have been in
the heart a long time.
The other case was one in which the
father of two children suffering from
broken things, state dto the doctor
that if they merely attempted to walk
their bones snapped.
"Children whose bones are fragile
as porcelain and whose limbs almost
break in a puff of wind or if they
laugh excessively, are rare" says an
eminent physician. "Such a disease
is confined almost exclusively to
adults, and though common on the
continent is almost unknown in Eng
land"
1t is the most rare disease of child
hood The occurrence of the disease in
certain localities has impressed some
medical men with the idea that some
unknown climatic condition may cause
the trouble, but the true cause re-
mains for the present a mystery.
The primary cause of the suscepti-
bility of child to the disease is due
to the loss of nervous tone which fol.
lows as a consequence and continued
malnutrition.

Final Action to be Taken il
Yakima Project
HENEY REPORTS OBSTACLES REMOVED
WILL BE COMMENCED BY
FIRST OF APRIL.

Irrigation in Washington is at last
promised by the reclamation service
| without further delay, is the report
that comes from Washington.
A recommendation that the final step
be taken to approve the Tieton and
Sunnyside projects has been made to
the secretary of the interior on the
basis of a conclusive, favorable report
| by Engineer Heney.
Mr.. Heney's report is that major
| ity of the land owners in the two pro-
jects have signed the water users
agreement, and that there is now no
obstacle to the final approval of the
projects in question.
The papers are in the hands of Judge
Parker the confidential legal adviser of
! Secretary Hitchcock, and he is ex-
pected to lay the matter before the
secretary within the next day or two.
| So far as the reclamation service is
concerned there is no qualification in
it's recommendation for final favorable
action, and if Judge Parker interposes
no objection, the secretary will approve
the contracts, including the proposed
purchase of the Washington Irrigation
company, the owner of the Sunnyside
canal.
Representative Jones said tonight
that he believed that the whole matter
would be concluded by March 81. The
option on the purchase of the Wash
ington Irrigation company extends only
until April 1.
AS soon as the projects are finally
approved specifications will be drawn
up in preparation for an advertisement
for bids to construct the necessary irri-
cation works.

Cupid DissoIves Girls Union Label

Club and Breaks Other Unions.
CHICAGO, March 24.-Unionism as
a preventative for race suicide has
been tried and found effective. The
Girls Union Label club, organized
three years ago, has been forced to
disband All it's members, with three
exceptions, have become wives.
Miss Nellie Mahoney, who organ
lied the club, today told of it's disso-
luton.
"Our club has disbanded," she said
with regret.
Have the girls lost faith in un-
ions?" she was asked.
mo, not exactly that They have
more faith in unions now than they
ever had but it is Of a different kind
The truth is, they have all been mar
ried''
Miss MahOney went on to tell the
fate of the club. There are but three
Tirney, of the Glove Workers union
and Nellie Georgia, of the Rubber
workers. All the rest are married
You see the club was organized
principally for the purpose of advo-
eating the sale of uniOn-made articles
One of our girls would go to a union
meeting and address the men on the
subject. Some fellow at the meeting
would decide to make her his pur-
chasing member for life, and we
would lose member. The ratio OF
marriages to limitations was about
six to one. We couldn't last long al
that rate. We had more than fifty
members at one time. Now we have
three. I don't know that it is our
own fault that we are members still
but it is true. The club, however, had
to disband.'
Other organizations of women have
had the same experience as Miss
MahOney.
'"The greatest difficulty we find in
trying to maintain unions among girls
is that they all want to get married.
said Miss Emma Lamphere, of the Re-
tail Clerks union. "NO sooner do we
organize than some fellow marries our
president. That frequently breaks up
the union. We can't keep a set of Of
ficers six months
