OF WARNING
Titanic Captain Knew That His Path

limited Press Leased Wire Service ]
NEW YORK, April 1s.-At eight
O'Clock Sunday night, Captain Clark of
the Atlantic transport liner Mesaba,
then only ninety miles ahead of the
great White Star liner, Titanic, sent
word to Captain Smith that his path
was blocked by great ice fields and
bergs.
Thanks" licked back the laconic
answer and the officers of the Mesaba
felt relieved feeling that they had
been of great service to the liner The
Mesaba continued on her course and
her operator changed the adjustment
of his instrument to talk to another
liner and she did not pick UP the Tt
tanic's frantic appeal for aid. The first
he knew of the tragedy, Captain Clark
said, was when his ship reached port
here today and when they heard the
Olympic talking about it on Monday.
Captain Clark said that the Ice
floes were the greatest he had ever
seen. The temperature of the water
was only thirty degrees, he said, and
this meant certain death to all who
leaped overheard

YESTERDAYS SNOW
NEARLY ALL DAY
And Reached Depth Ct Six Inches
If Dry Would Have Been
Deeper.

Yesterdays nearly all day snow
was in way record event for this
locality, coming as it did April II,
one month after st. Patrick's day
Last night when the storm ceased
there were about five inches of snow
on the ground, one inch below the
measurement at the period when it
showed the greatest depth, which was
six inches as taken at the government
observers Office here.
The snow was very wet, and pack
ed as ii fell and kept on packing after
il had fallen, which accounts for it
being Of smaller depth at the close of
the storm. Had ii been of usual dry.
ness the depth likely would have been
nine inches, being less inclined to
pack. 1t is the opinion of the weather
Office that In the winter months such
fall of snow as that Of yesterday,
very dry and touching the earth as
lightly as the fall of feathers, it would
have measured twelve inches or twice
the depth 1t reached yesterday.

Interest to Factory Men.

The state convention of this organ
ization which includes branches from
every city in the state that is inter-
-ested in industries of all kinds, is
one of the most important gatherings
that city can boast of. Numerous
representatives of concerns seeking
openings in the most promising places
attend these conventions and the
Keokuk members see another great
advantage for Keokuk in working for
the convention. They think that once
they get these representatives here,
they can show the advantages Of
Keokuk in such a maner that the In
ducements to these men will carry
sufficient weight to get some of them
al least to locate here.
The affair at the Keokuk this af-
ternoon was very enthusiastic
meeting in which the member gave
their most hearty approval of the de-
termination of the association to
work for the convention. More than
an hour was spent together by these
men and the deepest interest was
shown, N fla 81

No Need Being Old or
Wrinkled Before rs

Lillian Russell says any woman who
has wrinkles before she's 75 is her
self responsible tor them. Sunshine
and fresh air she considers more
valuable as complexion preservers
than nostrums and cosmetics.
The chief objection to cosmetics is
that at best they only temporarily COW
er up defects. There are certain true
aids to Nature which may be applied
with directly opposite effect. ordin-
arily mercolized wax, for instance,
actually removes bad or oldish COM
plexion, by gradually, almost i'm
perceptibly, peeling off the WORKOUT
scarf skin Just one ounce, procurabls
at any drug store, will soon unveil an
entirely new and natural complexion,
with an exquisite girlish color. OF
course cutaneous blemishes like
pimples, freckles, fine lines, moth
patches, liver spots, disappear with
the discarded skin.
To prevent or remove wrinkles, a
face bath which also produces natural
results is made by dissolving an ounce
of saxolite In half pint witch hazel
It's wonderfully effective.
