GERMAN SUBMARINE
Steamers Gulflight and Cush-
ing Suffer From Sea and
Air Raids
STATE DEPARTMENT IS
FACING SERIOUS CRISIS
Captain Of Gulflight Dies OF
Heart Failure and Two
Sailors Drowned

Washington, May 3,-The state de-
partment today faced the gravest stu.
alton since the outbreak of the Euro
pean war as result Of the torpedoing
of the American tank steamer Gui.
flight by German submarine and tho
attack made upon the steamer Cush.
ing by u German aeroplane.
This was admitted by officials of
the department. today The German
embassy, usually prompt to defend any
seemingly overt acts, today declined
to comment upon the attacks made
against the two American ships.
Secretary Bryan was wholly non
committal as TO action that might be
taken and refused to express an opin-
ion as to his view Of the situation.
Ambassador Gerard at Berlin was in-
strncted to formally call the attention
of Germany to the attack made upon
the Gushing and similar instructions
as to the Guflight viii probably be
forwarded.
II is felt that some excuses NAV be
offered by Germany as to the attack
made upon The GulfIight off the Scilly
islands, as II win probably be stated
that the desire was to prevent the tank
er' s oil from reaching the enemy
The department, however, is as much
concerned over the aoroplane attack
upon the Cushing as In the submarine
attack upon the tank steamer. Min.
lister Van Dy&@at The Hague, has re-
ported that one Of three bombs dropped
by the German aircraft struck the
Cushing. No one was killed, but some
damage was done.
The Gushing name is painted con.
spicuously ON her side. 10 is expected
that vigorous protest will be for
warded 10 Germany. Al the same time
thorough probe will be made Of tho
circumstances surrounding the torpedo
ing Of the Gulflight at the conclusion
Of which action to be taken will be
decided upon.

LIVES IN PRESENT
Centenarian Doesn't Long for
 Good Old Times
Mrs. Alice Harrison, Just Turned 100, Keeps Up With the Times and Has No Special Formula
 for Longevity.

Denver.-Mrs. Alice Harrison reached the century mark of life re- gently. Mrs. Harrison has no formula for the use of those who wish to live to be one hundred years old. She has lived just an average sort of life And at the age of one hundred years she is fairly regular church attendant takes occasional strolls about the neighborhood of her home. waits on herself and entertains her many friends when they drop In to see her She sews on patchwork quilts and makes fancy work for amusement, and reads the war news. Perhaps she still retains trace of youthful vanity, because she has always re- fused to have her picture published
 Mrs Harrison has made no espe- cial effort to take care of her health Neither has she refrained entirely from the use of medicine and the patronage of doctors. She has led a sedentary life, which Is generally con sidered less healthful than more active existence. Her chief occupa- tion has always been sewing. and read ing has been and is her chief amuse- ment.
 Mrs. Harrison was born in Ken lucky. May 2S, 1915, the year of the battle of Waterloo. The greatest war that had ever been known was con- vulsing the world at the time of her birth But she has lived to see Eu- rope engaged in another war which makes the Napoleonic conflicts seem puny.
 Mrs Harrison moved to Missouri with her father and mother when she married there. and was the mother of eight children. She has outlived four of her children, and may outlive more of them if she continues to hold her age in the future as she has for the past few years. She came to Denver forty years ago to make her home with her son, Nathaniel L. liar rison. Since that time she has made many friends here. She has always liked Denver, but says she can be happy anywhere.
 Perhaps the secret of her remark ably long life Is that she doesn't live in the past as much as most old peo- pie do. The present time suits Mrs. Harrison and she enjoys the comforts of advanced age instead of pining for the candlesticks and feather beds 1f her youth.
 She takes an interest in the Euro pean war and reads the news of the sinking of the Lusitania without re- marking that such things never hap pened in her day She doesn't care to meet strangers. but she takes a strong interest in the doings of her friends.
 She can remember the Mexican war. She has lived through the time of the invention of the telephone, the telegraph the automobile. the phono- graph and the wireless telegraph. She has seen the candle replaced by gas, kerosene and electricity. She has seen the marvel of an earlier age. the ironclad battleship. made useless by the invention of the submarine

KEEPING THE RANGE SHINY
A Little Work. and the Knowing Hos. Will Prevent 1t Ever Becom-
 Ing Dull or Red.

To good housekeeper nothing is more unsight1y than dull or red iron range. Much energy is wasted by these same housewives trying. yet not knowing how to correct the trouble. Here is suggestion:
 Let the range cool (not get cold. Scrub it as you would boards, all over the top thoroughly. with hot water and soap: let 1t dry. Have a thick lambs wool mitten such as comes for the purpose; slip the hand in 1t Rub paraffin wax over the range. then rub It in with the mitten. When there is an even coat. shake powdered stove backing over it and rub 1t in with the same mitten. Behold a beautiful, shiny rangel
 Perhaps it will wear of soon Do not feel discouraged, for it will last much longer than when polished by the old method, and no vigorous, tire some polishing with brushes no dust: to say nothing of having clean hands
 This may be done after breakfast If the fire is used at noon or night just give it rub with the mitten. not using any more paraffin or powder this time. In the absence of mitten old underwear serves admirably.
 The range should only be scrubbed once before first applying paraffin.

 The club was organized i've years ago and the members, bound by sol emn eaths of baehelorhood, remained intact for time. Cupid battered at the ramparts and one after another the members capitulated until five alone were left. Suddenly two of these fell and double wedding an- nouncement carried dismay to the hearts of the remaining three.

VINEGAR AS A CLEANSER
Housekeeper Should Familiarixe Her self With Good Qualities of
 That Liquid.

Vinegar is useful in many ways other than culinary. It will remove shoe-blaeking from clothing.
 It will remove fly specks from al most anything windows. picture frames, woodwork, etc.
 Vinegar Is something of tonic for the skin, and cures roughness of the skin and ehafing if applied after wash ing the hands. It should be permitted to dry on.
 It will soften paintbrush on which the paint has been permitted to dry. Heat the vinegar to the boiling point and let the brush simmer in it few minutes. Then remove 1t and wash 1t well in strong soapsuds.
 Vinegar is unrivaled as an agent for cleaning dirt and smoke from walls and woodwork, especially yellow pine. It should be applied with flannel cloth, and the flannel washed out in clear water as soon as It becomes soiled and before being dipped into the vinegar again. This makes the vinegar an inexpensive cleaner. besides being the most satisfactory way in which the work can be done.
