SHIP TURNS TURTLE
AT COLUMB|A'S
mouth
SCHOONER ADMIRAL HAS DAY OF
vlclssITUDEs, BUT ALL HER
CREW ESCAPES.

Astoria, Ore, Jan. 13.-The four
masted schooner Admiral, CAPTAIN
Joseph Bender ~ days from VAL
paraiso. for Gray's Harbor, lies bot
tom up near No. buoy at the en-
trance to the Columbia river after
what probably was the strangest ex-
perience which ever befolI a deep
water vessel in the history of Pacific
coast shipping.
Driven off her course before n 10
mile gale and completely shut in by a
dense fog. the Admiral early TODAY
crashed into the superstructure of the
south jetty OF the Columbia river
about 500 feet from the end OF the
jetty, and hung there long enough to
permit Captain Bender, his wife, their
young son and the stewards to make
landing on the shore end of the
jetty, while eight members of the crew
sought refuge on the outboard struc-
ture. Captain Bendcr's little party
was rescued by the crew of q
locomotive employed in the construc-
ton of the jetty.
The Admiral, forced by the gale and
heavy seas, finally forced her way
through the superstrue.ure TO the open
sea beyond, where she was sighted by
the bar tug Wallula. Captain Nolan,
then on her way to sea Captain
Nolan sent three men aboard the
Admiral and hawser was made fast.
The Wallula, with her tow, headed for
the riter. For an hour or more the
Wallula fought TO get her charge to
safe anchorage. but the gale heavy
seas finally got the better OF the
contest and the disabled vessel began
to turn over. The three men of the
Wallula climbed out on her rigging.
and as she made the final effort
clan,bored up her sides and were
| rescued by a small boat from the
Wallula. In going over the anchor of
the Admiral broke loose from Its
fastenings and the vessel automatically
anchored herself.
Goes to Pieces.
Later she broke from her anchorage
and drifted across the mouth of the
Columbia onto Peacock spit. where she
commenced to go to pieces. All the
captains papers and personal effects
Of his family and crew were lost,
1t was several hours before the life
crew reached the outboard jetty to
rescue the members of the crew, who
had taken refuge there. A dozen at
| tempts were made to get them off
and finally this was accomplished by
means of a brooches buoy without
| inishap
The only physical injury incident to
| the disaster was a crushed foot sus-
tained by the steward.

Suicide Among German Children.
Why do so many German children
commit suicide? No one seems to
know. but there is no dispute about
the fact. Indeed. 1t has been said that
the majority of suicides are those OF
children. and experts seem inclined to
connect the grisly epidemic with the
educational system. That "the weak
must go to the WALL has become an
axiom that has been extended to the
schools. and the undeveloped mind Of
the child seeks relief In suicide from
the discouragement Of failure. 1t
would be interesting to know II any of
the so-called heather countries Of the
world have ever experienced such a
horrid social phenomena as that Of
child suicide.

Not every one can afford frocks Of
silk velvet. SO velvetecn was manu-
factured as a substitute. 1t is lovely.
and gives practically the same effect

teen and corduroy are used to fashion
many smart frocks for street wear.
Plain colors are more frequently
used for the velveteen models. They
are effectively trimmed with fur. me-

Velveteen does not adapt itself SO
successfully to draping rs do the

MAKING A START IN SCIENCE
Burned Thread May Be Prepared to

Explanation Of Trick.

When we speak Of matter we usual
iy mean something that can be seen or
felt. anything that has form or weight
or color. We say that matter has GER
tain properties. 1t 10 property OF
glass to be brittle and OF rubber to be
elastic.
The properties Of some kinds Of mat
ter can be changed by the application
OF fire or water or both. We can
change iron into steel. we can make
brass with . spring to 1t or without.
There are some things that will re-
sist the action Of fire or water to
certain extent You can hold up
pretty good weight at one end of
slice OF bread II 1t is dry or stale. but
II you soak the bread In water 1t will
hardly hold itself up.
You can hang q good sized weight
at the end OF very slender piece OF
thread. but the moment you set IRE
to the thread the weight will fall to
the ground. Every one knows that.
you will say. but with little prepara-
tion you can convince them that this
will not always hold true. 1t Is pos

HOW sP00NER QUIT SMOKING
Son Of Former Senator From Wlscon.
sin Makes Agreement With Father
When Leaving Home.

Ex-senator John c. Spooner OF Wis
-consin. who is now a prominent law
yer In New York. Is fond Of telling
how he came to quit smoking. The
story has q moral In It which other
parents might take to heart and apply
in dealing with the faults Of their
children.
For thirty years was an inces'
SAINT smoker" said the senator. land
had cigar In my mouth nearly all
the time. Cigars soothed my nerves
when I worked hard. At least that
was my belief. knew the habit was
filling me with nicotine. but it did not
seem to affect my health much.
MY son Charles had been graduated
from a law school and was preparing
a new country. He and l sat together
one night before the time OF his de-
parture. and as we conversed ! thought
that before he left 1t would be a good
idea to have the boy promise not to
drink.
"'Do you drink. Charlie?' said to
him. and he responded. Once In q
while. Why?' I would like you to
promise me- I said. that you will not
touch Intoxicating liquors. You are
going far away to begin your career
in a rough country. and would feel
better II you will not drink. We prob
ably won't see much Of each other
again for q good many years. and 1t
would give me consolation to know
that wherever you are you are in no
danger Of being ruined by drink
"Coolly looking me over. Charlie
said: Father. you smoke toe much.
You are filled with nicotine. ! am 60
ing away and we will probably not
see each other for some time. This
smoking is running your health. ]
would like to feel while I am away
that your health Is not being ruined
by this dangerous nicotine habit. I'll
tell you what will do. You quit
smoking and ! will quit drinking
MY son. said I. you have touched
me in a very weak spot. take great
delight in smoking good cigar. bus II
you are game 80 am I. We will both
quit our bad habits"
The senator says he and his son
shook hands on the compact and that
both Of them have kept their pledges.
