CONGRESS MAY ACT
IN THE T|MBY CASE
Effort to Have Body of Invent
or Brought to Washington
Aboard Warship.

Members of Congress and patriotic or
ganizations interested in honoring the
memory of DR.. Theodore Ruggles Timby
by conveying his body on warship from
New York to Washington for burial in
Oak Hill cemetery are aroused over the
opposition to the plan which has develop
ed In the Navy Department and will
make strong fight to have the original
plan carried out. Dr. Timby is claimed
by many persons to have been the origi-
nal inventor of the revolving turret used
on the Monitor in its famous battle with
the Merrimac. The body Of John Ericsson,
the builder Of the first monitor, was sent
to Sweden on the cruiser Baltimore, as
a special honor, and this action is taken
as a precedent by those who wish to
honor the memory Of DIR. Timby
Senator Clapp Urges Action.
Acting Secretary Of the Navy Beck
man Winthrop, by his formal disap-
proval Of the plan In a report to Con-
gress, has thrown a bomb into the camp
of the friends Of DR.. Timby. Senator
Clapp of Minnesota, who introduced
Joint resolution in the Senate providing
for the transmission OF the body on
board a warship from New York to
Washington. will do everything in his
power, he said today to get the meas
ure through Congress before the session
closes
Mr. winthrop. in a letter to the
chairman OF the House naval commit
tee. points out that the use OF war
ship to transport the body OF Erics-
son to Sweden was an international
courtesy and should not be regarded
as a precedent. He also suggests that
II the claim OF DR.. Timby's friends
were recognized 1t might later form
the basis Of a. request on Congress
for an appropriation in recognition of
the services which they claim he rem
dered to the government.
Burial Scheduled for October IL.
Arrangements had been completed to
have the body Of DIR. Timby buried at

zone day in Berlin, as 1 came out
of one of the music stores 1 was
stopped by a couple of gypsies. They
had at least a half dozen violins caught
up loosely by the necks. Some were
stringless, cracked and dirty. They
asked me if l wanted to buy a violin
cheap and 1 replied that 1 was always
looking for good violins. Meanwhile
1 had scanned the violins and l OBJ
served one with very artistic lines and
workmanship, good varnish, but in bad
repair. I asked him how much they
wanted for that one and they replied
120 marks. Of course 1 could not try
the violin in the street so l gave them
my card and told them to call in the
afternoon. AS soon as l placed the
bow on the strings I realized what

FOR YOUR HAIR.
Here Are Facts we Want You
to Prove at Our Risk.

When the roots Of the hair are
entirely dead and the pores of
the scalp r glazed over, we do
not believe that anything can re-
store hair growth.
But when the hair roots re-
tain any life, we believe there is
nothing that will so surely pro-
mote hair growth as will RexaIl
"93' Hair Tonic. To prove
that statement we promise to
promptly return all the money
you pay us for Rexall "93" Hair
TOMS, should it not please you.
RcXall "93' Hair Tonic de-
stroys the germs which are usu-
ally responsible for badness. 1t
penetrates to the roots of the
hair, stimulating and, by promot-
ing circulation, nourishing them.
ReXall "93" Hair Tonic helps
to relieve scalp irritation, to re-
move dandruff, to prevent the
hair from falling out, and to
promote an increased growth of
hair. 1t comes in two sizes, pric-
es 80 cents and $1.00. Remem-
Der, you can obtain it only at our
stOre-The Rexall Store. L. W.

Real Enemy of AeropIane.

One still often reads comments on
the effects of musketry on aeroplanes,
usually written by those who have
probably never seen the effect of bull
lets fired from a distance. 1t has been
truly said that to hit a "rocketing"
aeroplane with a rifle shot is an ex-
tremely difficult matter, but to con-
clude that the aviator is therefore
immune when at 1000 feet up is abb
surd, says Sir Baden-Powell. 1t is
not the danger from one marksman
that has to be taken into account,
but volleys from a whole battalion. If
5000 OF 1000 shots be fired at a ma
chine while it traverses one hundred
yards, there is a good chance of it's
sustaining some danger SO long as it
is well within range. 1t is, however,
the Maxim gun that seems likely to
be the most formidable enemy of the
aeroplane. All such guns must in.
future be mounted in such a way as
to enable them to be fired nearly verr
tically.

How to Use a Life Preserver.

"The worst trouble about a life
p~reserver," said an old sailor, "is that
few people know what to do with one
when it's thrown to them. Many a.
mar would drown in trying to get a
life preserver over his head.
"The average person struggling
about in the water would try to lift up
the big life ring and put it over his
head. That only causes the man to.
sink deeper and take more water into.
his lungs.
"The proper way to approach a life
preserver in the water is to take hold.
of the side nearest you and press upon
it with all your weight. That causes
the other side to fly up in the air and
down over your head, ringing you as
neatly as a man ringing a cane at a
county fair. After that the drowning
man can be rescued."-From the!
American Boy.

Crib TRAGEDIES OF OCEAN
Many Vessels Abandoned at Sea That
Are Constant Menace to
Navigation.

There is a grimneSS about the brief
news dispatch which states that the
,derelict destroyer Seneca, of the Uni
ted States revenue cutter service,
weighed anchor and steamed out OF
New York harbor to search for dere-
ilicts of the seyen-day storm which
ended recently. Vessels that have been
abandoned at sea, unless deliberately
destroyed, continue to be a menace to
shipping for a long period following
their abandonment. For many years
it was customary for sea captains, on
coming into port, to report such dere-
lictS as they had observed during a
voyage, and the government published
charts in which the position of the re-
ported derelicts was shown, in order
that sailing masters might be on their
guard against collision with them;
There was at one time some talk of in
;ternational cooperation in the task of
clearing the sea of these floating
ships, but nothing came of it, and the
United States government finally:
took the matter up on its own account;
being for a long time the only govern
;ment which did so, and presumably it
occupies that position to this day. Tho
vessels designated as derelict destroy
ers are specially fitted out with dyna7
mite and other means of destroying
and sinking the floating menaces to-
navigation, and the significance of the
departure of the Seneca lies in the
fact that the storm of last week is
supposed to have caused many wrecks
off Hatteras and along the coast of
the C%arolinas.
