NATIONS INQUEST
RESUMED MONDAY

New York.-Leaving New York
stunned and aghast at disclosures in
a bare surface investigation of the
tragedy of the Titanic, the senate in
curry committee shifted operations to
Washington and Monday the power
full hand of the government resumed
thrusting aside the veil yet shroud-
ing with mystery the real cause of
the disaster.
Fifty witnesses, all snatched from
death by the rescue ship Carpathia,
were summoned to appear before the
entire senate committee selected to
investigate the catastrophe.
From J. Bruce Ismay, managing dl-
rector of the White Star line, to the
lowliest stoker of the Inflated Titan
ic. the government will seek to learn
the truth of the marine mystery.
The burden of testimony presented
emphasizes the unquestioning faith
of the Titanic officers in her unsink-
able character, the recklessness OF
steaming full speed through a sea
where dangerous icebergs were known
to threaten, and the remarkable calm
ness of passengers and crew.

CHAPTER XIII.

Some time in the golden afternoon
of the following day. the Pelican
weighed anchor and slouched with a
loafish air out of the harbor of the
Piraeus.

he preferred to be called. And plain

he amended automatically.
"As for meself." he concluded later.

lifted his eyebrows. protruding his
lower lip, as he glanced down over his
attire
1t was strange rig for the O'Rourke
to be in: an engineers blue jumper.
much the worse for wear. and a pair
of trousers whose seat, O'Rourke
maintained, was only held together by
its coating Of dirt and grease.
O'Rourke eyed this get-up with dis
dain. Fortunately" he comforted
himself, ''twon't be forever III be
wearing it."
In the present instance, the dis
guise was held an advisable thing.
since O'Rourke was officially register
ed on the ships books as assistant en-
gineer. The Pelican carried no IL
cense for passengers. and in view OF
his avowed purpose it was deemed
unwise for the Irishman to risk de-
lection by appearing too tony ian
expression culled froL1 the captains
vocabulary.
otherwise, it was understood that
his duties were to consist of the pur-
suit of his own sweet will, that he
was to occupy a stateroom aft, and
that he was to mess at the captains
table
On an evening, some nine or ten
days after he had left Athens.
O'Rourke at the forward rail saw the
long, low profile of Egypt edge up out
of the waters, saw 1t take color and
form, made out palms and the wind
mills, the lighthouse and Pompey's
pillar; and knew that he was close
upon his journeys end.
Her winches ratified cheerfully as
the Pelican dropped anchor. but
O'Rourke did not move. There would
be no going ashore. he knew. until
Hole was ready, and that would be
when the customs officials had paid
him a call and the usual courtesies
had been exchanged. The Irishman
had no need to be in haste to change
from his present garb to one that
better suited him. So he lolled upon
the rail and regarded with a kindling
eye the harbor views

WHERE AND HOW
TO USE DRAIN TILES
BY PROF. E. r. JONES,
Wisconsin COLLEGE of AuricuItur


Let us assume that every farmer in
Wisconsin is equipped with heavy,
cumbersome, breaking pillow and a
lighter, more convenient stubble plow
1t would be poor management for
farmer to punish himself or his hired
man by swinging or pulling the heavy
pillow around the corners in narrow
stubble field-just as poor as it would
be to try to guide the light stubble
plow through a tough virgin sod.
Each pillow is adapted to its particular
use.
Now I mean to draw an analogy be-
tween the plow and the drain. The
drain tile bears the same relation to
the open ditch that the light stubble
plow bears to the unwieldy breaking
pillow. The question then arises,
where shall use the tile and where
the open ditch?" Let me answer it
briefly. Use an open ditch where there
is a large quantity of surface water
to be removed. Use tile where under
drainage is the feature to be in
proved.
will be more specific. Water
would escape from level floor rather
than accumulate thereon to a great
depth. If an area has any slope
whatever it will have surface drain

sired by making the cleaned, dead
burrows extend in the line Of greatest
