New Yorker Remembers Service
on Constitution.
Emmanuel J. Rauch, Eighty-Six Years
Old, Who Was on Vessel 70 Years
Ago, Said to Be the Only One
Of the Crew Left

New York.1E Emmanuel J. Rauch be-
lieves that he's the oldest survivor of
those who served on the United States
ship Constitution. He was born in
Chester County, Pennsylvania, on No.
vember 6, 1925, and is far from show
ing his Sc years.
His discharge from the Constitution
is dated February 1S43. He looks like
a man Of about IS and well preserved
at that.
1t was on July IL, the hundredth an
niversary Of the escape OF Old Iron
sides from British feet. that Q re-
porter called on Mr.. Rauch. The date
suggested to Mr. Rauch that in 1886,
on the anniversary of that event, he
witnessed at the Philadelphia navy
yard the launching of the United
States line of battle-ship Pennsylvania,
then the largest sea-going vessel in
the world.
"The Pennsylvania was what was
called a four-decker," said Mr.. Rauch,
although she really had five decks.
She was pierced for 40 guns, but real
ly carried 160-they were cast iron
guns in those days-of which the
heaviest were eighteen-pounders.
'The Pennsylvania had been start.
ed about 1871, but for years had lain
halfway out OF the ways and had
nearly rotted to pieces when the gov
eminent decided to finish her. She
was never really equipped, but took
the spars of the Ohio and sailed to
Norfolk, where she became school
and nursing ship. She was not any
good sea-going vessel
"How did you come to take to the
sea-" Mr.. Rauch was asked.

better element into the navy-Uncle

Drain the strip from a can of apri.
cots and arrange the halves on q
serving dish. Place on top of each half
a marshmallow which has been partly
melted, and top with another apricot
half; decorate the plate with leaves or

The strip from the apricots should be
heated, and when they are served it
should be poured over them. This
makes delicious and simple dessert.

DANISH Oh ORsS FROM ICE BOX
Simple Precautions viii Keep Food
Placed ID Refrigerator Always
Dainty and Palatable. &.

1t was friendly grocery clerk who
suggested a remedy for the possible
odor in an ice box affecting prints
OF butter: 1t so happened that the pur-<
chaser had only an ice chest Of rather
contracted proportions In which to
keep her provisions, and in order
to delay the melting of the ice (partly
owing to piece Of the valve having
come off) she used heavy brown paper
to keep the chilly block from touching
the sides of the box So far, the idea
worked well, but it is hard to find pa
per that will be absolutely without

tact with the ice has made it damp.
or a time this did not matter, as the
milk was in closed bottles and the but
ter she was used to buying came In
sanitary waxed pasteboard boxes. But
when she was no longer able to get
that brand and had to take ordinary
one pound prints, without other pro-
lection than waxed paper, the grocery
boy met her objections by suggesting
the use of the oblong tin boxes in
which half pounds of American teas
are packed. They are good teas, too,
but she did not even have to purchase
item, as he offered to save her box;
and into it the pound print fitted with
just the little margin to spare that
would make it easy to slide the butter
out when wanted. Since then she has
also learned that a good lump Of char
coal in the corner of the ice box helps
to keep the air in it sweet-quite as
much as it keeps fresh and odorless
