LATEST
DEVICE
FOrSAVING
Passengers

IMMEDIATELY after each terrible
ocean liner disaster inventors spring
from apparent oblivion with some
new rescuing apparatus. 1t may be
an unsuitable lifeboat or life buoys,
but the latest invention, that Of a de-
tachable raft or pontoon, seems to be the
most practical of them all. In case the
lower section of the boat is wrecked,
filing it with water and sinking 1t, all
that is required of the passengers is that
they make a dash for the detachable
portion Of the ship. The sailors then
detach the pontoons from the boat and.
while the ship itself sinks, the raft stays
on the water.
The pontoon extends for a depth OF
two decks, covers the full width of the
ship and reaches from the midship su-
perstructure to the after-rail. A pom
toon Of this kind, according to the in
ventor, could in an emergency carry
the passengers and crew of a ship the
size OF the Titanic.
Another rescuing device, the inventor
of which was inspired by the late En-
press of Ireland" disaster, is the detach-
able deck convertible into a raft. This
scheme, however, would not work as
quickly as the other. In case of a wreck
or the boat filling with water the crew
of the ship would be forced to let the
RATS into the water by the use Of steel
hawsers and after having put the. RATS
into water the people would have to be
lowered, whereas on the other hand the
people could rush for the detachable
pontoon and when the boat sank they
would be aboard without further delay.
The latter device would be the safest
in the event of the ships sinking, as its
bottom is composed of three decks
which could battle the probable gigantic
waves, while the other fat-bottomed one
would not have as much chance.

Strawberries
Dangerous!

q TRAWBERRIES in large quantities
are conducive OF drunken stupor
and dizziness akin to intoxication
and are listed as a dangerous cargo.
Vessels carrying a cargo of strawberries
are positively not allowed to carry pas
deck most of the time
The fumes of the strawberries are so
strong that it throws sort of a dizziness
over a passenger, which, together with
seasickness, sometimes forces the person
to undergo a physicians care.

BY forcing native laborers in the
island Of Principe, in Portuguese West
Africa, to carry cloths covered with glue
on their backs when working in places
infested by flies, sleeping sickness has
been successfully combated in the island.
The glue is dark, and is the same color as
the natives skin.

tributed that, should an accident occur to

not plunge thousands Of feet downward,

indeed will the ''fool-proof' and accident

invention is q marked step toward the
goal, safety IN air.

OLD TIMERS
HAVE RENEWED
FRIENDSHIP
STATE HIGHWAY COMMISSIONER
AND EDITOR OF WAURlkA DEM
OCRAT MEET AFTER MANY
YEARS. SWAP "REMINISCENCES

Col. Sidney Suggs, state highway
commissioner, spent last week in Ste
phens county organizing good roads
and civic clubs among the rural
schools boys and girls of that coun-
ty and, while there, met an old ac-
quaintanCe in the person of the editor
of the Waurika Democrat. They had
quite a reunion, and the following is
what the editor has to say of his old
friend Suggs.
col Sidney Suggs of Ardmore was
in the city Monday night, en- route
to Duncan. Col. Suggs is now engaged
in interesting the school children in
good roads building and horticulture,
and says that he is meeting with
much encouragement wherever he has
been.
"An attache of the News-Democrat
knew Col. Suggs more than a quar-
ter of century ago. His hair is not

gone by, but the years have only serv-
ed to ripen the geniality of the man
and he is still Overflowing with good
humor. At the time the writer knew
him. Col. Suggs was travelling for a
machinery house, sometimes travel
ing by train and often by private con-
veyance. He knew every trail in
eastern Texas and could call every
man he met by his given name; he
knew the children just as well, and
knew whether their dog was named
Rover or Tige-and everyone knew
Sidney Suggs. He was always ready
to talk business, but was equally ready
for fun and frolic. As an accordian
player he was without an equal and
when people would see him coming,
they would get out their accordian
and dust it up, for there was going
to be music in the home that day.
And how the man could pull an ac-
cordian. There may be musicians to- !

day, but take us back twenty-five or
thirty years ago, and give Sidney
Suggs an accordian and there would
be music worth going miles to hear.
We were glad to renew the ac-
quaintance of Col. Suggs after all
these years, and assure him that we
spent a very pleasant evening indeed
in his company and trust that there
are many more such evenings in store
for us.
