Scores we're still imprisoned in the
staterooms and lower decks Of the
partially submerged boat two hours
after the accident. Their screams and
cries for help could be plainly heard
on shore above the noise of automatic
and electro magnet drills which we're
used to cut out the side plates Of the
ship.
Many Of the victims were women
and children. So thick we're the wa
ters covered with human beings for
an hour after the Eastland sank, that
rescuers passed by bodies that seemed
TO be motionless and drew out only
those showing signs of life.
Several causes were given for the
accident. Captain Petersen told a
United Press representative that a
broken "airchute" let in water that
resulted in the boats careening. Will
liam J. Plamondon. nephew of the
Lusitania victim, who was a passen-
ger, laid the accident to the system of
water ballast in vogue. This ballast
he said. was not to be taken on until
the boat had gone into the lake on
her way to Michigan City.
The water where the Eastland sank
is not more than twenty feet deep.
The upper side stuck three or five feet
above the waters edge It is from
staterooms ranged along this side
where many passengers we're caught
in a trap, that cries for help came.

IcEBox PERIL.

How to Keep the Refrigerator Sweet
and Clean at All Times.
Mrs. Housewife, in just what condi-
ton do you find the refrigerator you
are using this season?
Three things must he found in a
perfect refrigerating plant, and these
much reach further than the ice chest.
The plant must be sanitary, efficient
and economical.
First, one must see that the box Is
properly placed, preferably in a light,
airy place, and that the drainpipe is
properly connected. Many builders
do not give this any consideration,
and many housewives do not seem to
care where the pipe leads or into
what 1t drains, only that 1t "goes"
somewhere and thus does away with
the pan under the icebox." Far bet
ter pan that runs over periodically
than drip pipe connected with foul
drain or sewer that will flood the box
with sewer gas and poison It's contents.
If the box is wood give 1t an "air
bath" inside and out. Open oil doors
and dry every part before cleaning,
then give 1t a thorough scrubbing With
hot water, soap and borax. Remove
shelves and allow box to cool and dry
before using.
If the shelves are wood care must
be exercised, for in these damp, water
soaked shelves Turk bacteria These in.
visible foes are difficult to destroy, and
ii is only by constant vigilance you
combat them.
Wooden shelves absorb odors, and
once they become ilnpregnated with
these 1T is almost impossible to get
rid of them. If one must use wooden
shelves give them an air and heat
bath ut least very week. Remove
shelves and SET at once in boiling VIII
ter keep at boiling point thirty min.
utes, set in hot oven for an hour and
then rub all over with solution of
formaldehyde, wipe dry and put in
sun for several hours.
Metal shelves with heavy coating of
enamel are safe and easily taken
care of.
Keeping all corners and sides, as
well as dishes used, perfectly dry and
clean; keeping the temperature of the
box ut q low degree and the air dry.
will lessen the danger from bacteria.
See that food is put at once in the
refrigerator If this is left out to be
nibbled by the fly that has come from
some fever infested spot covered with
germs, some Of these must necessarily
adhere to the damp surface of the
meat. The cold IN the box is power
less to stop the growth of germs, it
can only retard 1t. and sooner or later
the food becomes unfit for use.
Foods cooked or uncooked should not
"stand around" the kitchen, but should
be put at once in the cooling room Of
the refrigerator.
Partly decayed food should never be
placed in the refrigerator. You do not
succeed in Excepting" 1T, and you FIJI
the food compartment with the bac-
terra laden mir that settles upon the
food in the box

HOW SATISFACTORILY TO
ADD TO YOUR SUPPLY
OF TOWELS.

The woman who likes hand
work can do no better than to
make supply of guest towels.
Each is small amount of work,
and yet when they are grouped
in half dozen lots they appear to
be an accomplishment of no
meanneSs.
An interesting finish for guest
towel was devised by a woman
who had received gift of some
linen handkerchiefs finished with
little colored crocheted edge.
She edged towel ends in the
same way, using heavy twisted
mercerized floss in various colors
for the purpose. \ third of an
inch from the ends of the towels,
made of huclSaback, two or three
threads We're drawn, and the GRO
chet hook, of steel, was worked
into this space. A picot edge was
crocheted all across the end Of
the towel, and above it was plac-
ed a letter In the same color as
the edge in satin stitch or cross
stitch. These towels We're de-
cidedly effective and are not diff
ficult to make.
Cross stitch designs of all sorts
are still used ON guest towels.
Nothing is prettier than the
wreath of blue. pink, green and
. yellow worked in cross stitch.
There are also effective baskets
; and other conventional figures.
Special little towels are made
; for babies, and some of these
. show rabbits or chickens or ducks

How to Use Some Simple Beauty
Remedies Successfully.
Stains on the fingers that will not
yield to ordinary methods can be re-
moved by dipping the fingers in perox-
ide of hydrogen.
A healing ointment for rough skin is
made by mixing thoroughly one part
of bismuth to three parts of white
vaseine
Select soap that has little alkali
and no coloring in it. The best is also
unseented. Such a soap will not harm
the most delicate skin.
The constant use on the teeth of
powdered charcoal or pumice stone is
injurious, as such powders break the
enamel, and the teeth will then quick
ly decay.
The greatest care should be taken Of
the teeth. Equal parts Of CASTLE soap,
powdered orris root and precipitated
chalk make a good and inexpensive
tooth powder.

who was born in Leicester, England,
May 20, 1868. He was a Quaker, and
'emigrated to America about 1852. He
set up his press in Philadelphia, and
in 1887 printed an almanac. He fell
under the displeasure of Philadelphia,
and, after being acquitted of a charge
of seditious libel, he removed to New
York, where in 1893 he became the

TOO 0UTsP0KEN ON STAND
Testimony Of Jacob Riis Won Verdict
for the Right, Though II Made
Him the Goat"

The late Jacob A. Riis was a good
story-teller, but there was one story
that he used to tell to his friends
with especial glee, even though he was
the goat" of it.
1t seems that soon after he took up
his residence on Long island he de-
cided to build a house. He went to
an Austrian, whom he had known in
the days when he was poor and friend
less, and who had since prospered.
Riis asked for a loan on mortgage.
Riis' friend insisted that the money
should be regarded as gift. Riis
would not consent, and the matter
eventually was left as loan (of which
no written record was made). which
was to be paid back at the borrowers
convenience.
Years passed." Riis used to add,
land somehow l never had the money
to pay my friend. Then / heard he
was i'll, and went to see him. found
that he had become estranged from
his family. and had many talks with
him regarding his expressed desire to
leave his property to distant relatives
in Austria. Incidentally, he again told
me that his loan to me was not to be
repaid. Eventually he made will,
in which the bulk Of his estate was
given to the people in Austria.
well, my old friend died, and, Of
course, the family contested the will,
alleging that the testator was Of un.
sound mind. The Austrian crowd
learned Of my intimacy with him and
of the fact that had seen him often
toward the end Of his life, and l was
called as q witness at the hearing
of the suit to upset the will. l took
the stand and told as fully and as
frankly as knew how of my relations
with the dead man and of the talks
had had with him, making it clear that
he was sound in mind IL not in body
and knew what he was doing when he
left his money outside the immediate
family. Incidentally, in talking of my
old friend, told the whole story OF
tho loan Of years before.
"And would you believe It," Riis al
ways finished with chuckle, when
those Austrians won their suit and got
possession Of that estate, the very first
thing they did was to demand from
me payment of that unrecorded loan
And, by golly, paid it. tool"

A GROUP Of beautiful hats includes
Athree ostrich-trimmed shapes,
such as women of fashion delight in
for those occasions on which the hat
is worn. At the club luncheon, at
five o'clock tea, at the afternoon recep-
ton, in the box party and for calling,
the hat is the dominant feature Of the
toilet and must play its leading part
or reduce all the other apparel to its
own level. Women are right in giving
much time and study to the matter.
Among the newest and most capt.
waiting hats are those with wide brims,
made of velvet. One of these is shown
in the picture having a brim much
wider at the left side than at the right
The brim is covered smoothly with
velvet, and flares upward very gently
at the wide portion. The crown is
soft at the top, having the sides en-
circled by a smooth collar of velvet.
A sash of soft satin ribbon is tied
about it, finished with two short loops
at the front.
At the side, short, very wide plume
is fastened to the underbrim with a

A COIFFURE which is always "in,"

q second one, which Is typical of the
newest vogue, are pictured here to-

with what success it bids for favor.
