BERESFORD PRAISES
TITANIC'S ENGINEERS
British Naval Chief Pays Tribute
to Men Who Remained
Below Decks.

One aspect of the wrecking and sink
ing of the Titanic which had not re-
ceived the notice which It probably de-
served is dwelt upon in a letter recently
written to the London Times by Lord
Charles Beresford. admiral OF the Brit
ish navy, and reproduced In the cur
rent issue of Engineering, a London
publication.
Lord Beresford grants the bravery
and chivalry of Captain Smith, the Of
ficers. seamen, band, and passengers
Of the Titanic. In his letter. however,
he describes the work of the men below
deck-the engineers and their forces.
The letter says In part:
Nothing can exceed the heroism OF
the captain, officers, and seamen OF the
ship, but officers and seamen are the
first to offer a whole hearted tribute OF
unbounded admiration to those working
below, as they we'll know how often
the grit and courage Of the officers and
men OF these departments are called
upon In moments of emergency. II is
stated that the lights were burning until
few minutes before she took her final
plunge.
This proves that the officers and
men below remained at their posts when
they must have known that a DEATH
the most terrible and painful II Is pos
sible to conCeive-awaited them at any
minute. either by the bursting OF a
steam pipe or water rising in a COM
partment."

HANDBOOK MAKER
SENTENCED TO 90
DAYS AND FINE
Counsel for Ezra Collins
Gives Notice of Appeal to
Higher Courts.

The first of the alleged handbook
makers taken in the raids of the De-
partment of Justice a year ago, Ezra
Collins, to come up for sentence, was
given the limit of penalty in United
States branch of Police Court today.
Collins must serve ninety days in Occo-
quan and pay fine of $500, or serve an
additional ninety days. unless the Dis
trict Court of Appeals sets aside the
verdict of guilty passed by Police Court
jury.

defendant, argued for a light sentence
Counsel further set up that the defen-
dants wife Is an invalid and needs his
constant care. Assistant United States
Attorney Ralph Given, who was one of
the prosecuting attorneys, called the
courts attention TO the defendants re-
cord Of a forfeiture of 800 on a former
charge Of handbook making. The pros
ecuting attorney asked the court to in
vestigate the care that the defendant
habitually bestows on his wife before

In passing sentence Judge James L.
Pugh said that fines in these cases
amount virtually to only license fees for
the defendants He said that the limit
OF fine, which Is $500, IS but one-hali

when gambling was licensed in the Dis:
trict.

A New Face Without
Surgical Skin Peeling

II do not approve of the surgical op-
Grafton of face peeling," says Julia Orff
It's. too radical, too often dangerous.
There's a better way of removing Of
fensive complexion and one that is en-
tirely safe and rational. Ordinary mer-
colized wax causes the devitalized
scarf skin to come Off but gradually
and gently Unlike the surgical process
the skin is not forcibly taken of In big
pieces all at once, but almost invisible
fiaky particles are absorbed by the wax
and from ten days to two weeks are re-
Quired to complete the transformation.
There's no pain, no discomfort.
Mature renews compilations the same
way shedding tiny cutaneous scales
day by day. But deficient circulation,
or other abnormal condition, may inter-
fere with the shedding-a bad COM
pleXion' results. Then mercolized wax
assists Nature by Fastening the re-
moval of the aged. faded or discolored
top skin. Thus only the lively, young,
healthy-hued skin is in evidence. as in
robust girlhood. This is why mercolized
wax produces the indescribable beauty
of ever-renewing youth. The wax is
put on al night like cold cream, and
washed off in the morning. You can

the long boat was saved at all II was
his eye that first deserted a sail when
the Crescent hove near. BEFORE the
vessel sank, he had done valuable work.
A widowed Scotswoman and three
daughters we're on board. One was
sick. At the risk OF his life, Holmes
rescued this sick woman at the last
minute, before the william Brown went
down, and carried her to safety In the
long boat And there was much connict
of testimony as 20 the extent OF the Jeop-
ardy in which the long boat was placed.
The captain, who testified at the trial,
gave Holmes a high character, and 1t was
brought out that when Holmes, on part
Ing from the captain when the jolly
boat and the long boat separated, hinted
that II might be necessary to throw
some overheard, the captain practically
sanctioned itS 1t was also brought out
that Holmes had said Tuesday night
that II relief did not come Wednesday
after some had been thrown oyer, they
would draw lots and go overheard IN
that fashion.
The merciless manner in which the
crew saved themselves at the expense
of passengers came In for a scoring
by Judge Baldwin, though II was taken
out In words rather than a heavy sem
tence on Holmes. In the course OF an
opinion that will doubtless be widely
perused in the litigation arising from
the loss of the Titanic, he said:
The sailor Is bound to undergo what
ever hazard Is necessary to preserve the
boat and passengers"
And again: THE passenger cannot be
bound to sacrifice his life to preserve
the Sailors"
Many other interesting matters were
touched on by the court. Senate law
yers have been reading up on the case,
among others, since the Titanic sank.

SUFFRAGETTE, IN
NEW YORK PARADE,
TELLS Of THRILLS
Mrs. Ellen Spencer Mussey,
Washington Woman,
Was in Line.

ut was just one long grand thrill
that held all Of US in its spell with the
realization that we were working for the
cause of equal rights" said Mrs. Ellen
Spencer Mussey, the pr omtnent woman
lawyer, educator, and suffrayist, today
in telling how a woman feels while
walking in a suffraget.e parade. Mrs.
Mussey was one Of the Washington
delegation Of woman suffrage enthu-
siasts who marched with the lc,Uoo
women in the great suffrage pageant
held in New YORK Saturday.
II started out with the marchers in
tending to go three or four squares,
but instead marched the entire twenty
three squares, and was prepared to
march again." said Mrs. Mussey. "Oue
year ago l could not see the. good that
a parade could do in the cause OF equal
rights for women, but this time my
eyes have been opened.
American men are not like English
men or the men of other countries.
They are emotional and whole souled.
and can be moved by just such demon
strations as that held in New York the
other day. There were not any insults
passed to US from the thousands that
lined the thoroughfares,. OF the great
city. In fact, 1t was like an orderly
little village. o..
Men and non-believers in our cause
were impressed. The numbers that took
part in the pageant, the sincere spirit
of the marchers and the caliber Of the
women who trod the streets in the caIisi

and will be instrumental in working
