Quinine, which in times OF peace
sells for 20 cents an ounce, has more
than tripled in price and is likely to
go higher any day. Just why Quinine
should advance TO such price attitudes
no one seems to know, as practically
all Of the supply comes from South
American countries. II is recalled
that during the civil war in the United
States, Quinine advanced to 90 dollars
an ounce. One OF the reasons given
by the controllers Of the product is
that the hospitals in the %belligerent
countries are consuming all of the
q~uinine that is available, as it is a

THE CROW'S-NEST

1t would be good policy for some
parents to try TO find out what their
boys are doing from seven to nine
o'clock on Sunday evenings, whether
they are at church paying respectful
attention TO the services or are on the
outside of some one of the church
buildings ogling the people as they
are going in or out, laughing, talking
or whistling while the services are go
ing on, disturbing those inside more or
less. A boy who disturbs a public
gathering, whether unwittingly or not,
is open to severe criticism or liable to
legal punishment if persisted in and
the parent must take the conse-
Quences.
1t is often said that a person should
al least be able to speak one language
other than his own. This is good ad-
vice provided that the other language
be a proper one, quite useful and has a
literary merit of its own. On casual
notice it will be observed that most of
our young people are more or less BIZ
lingual. In the school room and in
the presence of their teachers a pupil
will use the best English at his COM
mand but IN the playground or on the
public streets you are apt TO hear an
altogether different manner of speech,
some of which is almost as unintel-
lectual as if il were a foreign ton
que. Clipped words and run together
in a breath, the worst kind of slang
and often i~nterspersed with oaths or
~near-oaths, all combine to make a
rant or creditable. Since a student is
only in the school room a fraction Of
his time this second language is likely
10 become his master speech and his
mother tongue a little used or dead
language as it were.
The members OF the high school
freshman class of Sioux City organic
ed a movement last year and are con
t~inuing it this year that is very com
menable and might be adopted in
other towns and cities with profit.
They have what is called a Highly
club and it is trying to stamp out the
use of tobacco in the school. At one
meeting ninety members Of the fresh
man class signed an anti-cigaret
which reads as follows:
Believing the use Of tobacco in
any form is harmful to myself and to
the student life of the high school, I
pledge myself to abstain from
the use of it myself and will do my
best to aid my high school friends to
do the same"
Last year $50 boys of that school

EXPERIENCES ON LUSITANIA
Continued from Page Nine)

| brought up three or four, buckled one
around my body, scattered the others
among some of the passengers and
awaited what l considered the newt
able. Life seemed so sweet as
when stood on the deck of the gradu-
ally sinking vessel. In a few seconds
the water on the deck was shoe-top
deep and l had to do something and
do it quickly, l jumped into the ocean.
after leaping from the boat I was
drawn under the water and as I came
up to the surface a high wave drove
me under again, and when | finally
came to the surface again the Lusi-
tania had gone forever. After looking
around a while l took hold of a deck
chair on which | rested for about IF
teen minutes. I saw a little half-sub-
merged raft in the distance, and swim
ming over to it, crawled aboard. The
sight around me was beyond descrip-
ton; men, ONE and children and
the awful wall arising from the semi
circle Of wreckage was enough to
make one go crazy. Four men came
floating past me on a tin tank, they
cried for help, and noticing a rope
tied to the raft, I sIcceeded in getting
them all safely on the raft. Two men
came to our little raft, and the extra
weight made it slowly sink. We were
in a precarious condition. So, securing
two floating life belts from the water,
and giving them to two of the boys, |
decided to take to the water again,
which I did. l swan for two hours
until my legs gave out, owing to
cramps, and l spotted an air-tank about
two feet square. Securing it, 1t kept
me up nicely and we drifted away
from the scene. 1 made out a raft
away in the distance and after being
in the water nearly four hours succeed
ed in reaching it. There were nine
men on it, and they pulled me aboard.
I lay quiet awhile, completely done up;
/ had lost all use Of my legs and could
not stand.
Picked Up by Trawler
Twenty minutes later a trawler
came alongside and took me aboard;
we landed at Kinsale at 10 p. m, and
were taken to the military hospital.
After staying there until the next
morning, | took the train for Queens
town to see how many OF the boys
were saved. On arriving, ! found four
of them awaiting me. The meeting

pletely. We counted up our party,
and found three were missing, to

Rescue Of J. Preston Smith


J. Preston Smith, another of the SIR
Vivors. ~obligingly told his story to the
Register reporter. He also was in the
water four hours and was picked I'M
oy a raft and taken to the military
hospital at Kinsale, Ireland.

swimming the best way ! could as nv
legs were so cramped and swollen
that they We're useless. l had swan
over two miles and had been in the
water four hours. They finally drag
ged me aboard the raft and l lost con.
s~ciousness."
What thoughts were uppermost in
your mind during the time you were in
the water, Mr.. Smith? ?" asked the re-
porter.
Well, l thought Of my mother and
continued my struggle to reach the
raft, which | saw in the distance as
the only hope of safety" he replied.
All through those terrible long hours
| firmly believed l would be saved"
No Panic on Deck
Mr.. Smith stated that there was no
panic whatever on the deck a few min.
utes before the ship went down. and TO
show his presence of mind. he said
that he took from his pocket the sum
of seven English pounds in gold, tied
it in his handkerchief, and put it in his
pocket. He said, The last I saw of
Hopkins, the famous basso, was when
l saw him pick up a child in his arms
and leap into the sea. He had no life
belt on, could not swim and was never
seen again"
Give Good Program
The large audience present at the
Wednesday evening was not
reluctant to show its appreciation of
the efforts of the singers. Every
chorus was applauded heartily and the
director was compelled TO call for an
encore after many Of the selections
hat were liked best.
The Soldiers Chorus" from Faust,
he "Hallelujah" chorus, the national
anthem of Wales and the closing Choir.
IS America" were among the old fav-
,rites enjoyed. Besides these the pro-
gram included many choruses not so
veil known. Those who possessed the
,est voices gave solos, duets, trios and
l%uartettes. Many unique or humorous
elections enlivened the program and
'ften shook the audience with laugh
er. One Of the strangest, but most
and beautifully given choruses
vas 1.-THE Song of the Bottle" This
vas given in the Welsh language. The
explained that it was compos-
d over $50 years ago on a wreck in
n~id-ocean, and the composer knowing
hat there was no chance for him to es-
ape alive, sealed the manuscript in a
and threw 1t into the sea, where
t was washed ashore near a little vii
of Wales and there found.
The new director is David John.
With Mr.. Johns work, the audience
ould certainly find no fault. He
rought out expression and produced
fleets that would be impossible with
chorus that does not sing together
There were eleven sing
rs in the chorus, not including the
irector.
