MEANS FOR RELIEVING
SHORTAGE OF DYESTUFFs
Considered by Special Committee of
National Association of Clothiers.

New York, Dec. 15.-Means of re-
lieving the shortage of dyestuffs in
this country were considered today at
a meeting of a special committee of
the National Association of Clothiers.
The meeting adjourned without taking
definite action.
A majority of the members felt that
a committee should be sent to Wash
ington to urge authorities to take ac-
ton on the British embargo on dye
stuffs, especially the embargo on log
wood from Jamaica. 1t was agreed
that this would only give temporary re-
lief and that congress should be urged

Under the direction of the board of
water commissioners and Superin-
tendent Thomas Mckenzie, aided by a
substantial appropriation made at the
annual financial town meeting of 1914,
a thorough survey has been made for
a modern sewer system. This work
has been practically completed in all
it's details, secured, together with esti-
mates of cost for a whole, or part of
the system, including the disposition
of sewage along modern lines. The re-
port of the commission will first be
made to the town council and in due
time will be laid before a financial
town meeting, when it is probable
plans will be adopted for financing the
big project.

centuries of striving and experiment.
In both devices the N obstacle
which for so many hundreds Of years
prevented success vas the problem OF
motive power. This is shown as par
ticularly true. since the installation of
a modern gasoline motor in the old
Langley cellular plane proving the
principles of the early inventor were
correct.
Thus we find that the underwater
boat built by a Frenchman named De
Son in the early seventeenth century
was a complete success except that it
would not run.
The De Son vessel, built at Rotter-
dam, was 70 feet in length, with a
maximum height of II feet n beam
of 8 feet, tapering to points at the end,
being not unlike the modern sub
marine in many of it's lines.
De Son designed his boat to operate
under water with a clockwork motor
and to hold an air supply for the crew
sufficient for three hours. The clock
work was supposed to turn a large
paddle wheel and propel the boat for
eight hours on one Winding.
This quaint submarine a armed
with iron pointed at the ends. with
which to ram ships and crush their
bulls under water.
De Son had unlimited faith in his
vessel and expressed it in the follow
ing flow of ancient press agency, as
translated from an old Dutch print:
THE inventor of this ship will un,
dertake to destroy in a single day
hundred vessels, n such destruction
could not be prevented by fire, storm
sac weather or the force of the waves
saving only that the Almighty shouit
otherwise will it. Vain would it be
for ships lying in harbor to be regard
ed as safe, for the inventor cOulC
reach anywhere unless prevented b!
betrayal. None but him could contrO
the craft. Therefore it may truly b'
called the lightning of the sea. 1t:
power shall be proved by a trip to thu
East Indies in six weeks or to France
and back in a day, for fast as a birt
flieth can one travel in this boat"
However. when the boat wa
launched it refused 20 move. Th'
torque of the clock motor was not abl'
to turn the paddle wheel propeller il

But from this seed of thought toda,

Victims of the DRUG Habit.

According TO a recent estimate or
the United States public health serv-
ice, the number OF persons in this
country who are victims OF the drug
habit is about 10000. and the number
of doses of narcotic drugs consumed
by them annually is about $50, 600. o0e-
This estimate is based on figures COB
lected IN the state of Tennessee where
under q recently enacted anttnarcotio
law 1903 permits were issued in six
months to persons petitioning for the
privilege of using narcotic drugs. and
the consumption OF such drugs amount
ed to S.49S. 200 average doses.

WRONG Diagnosis

One of the prominent clubs Of this
city gave a contract for the decoration
of their building in honor Of the visit

ceived the idea that the word wei

be an appropriate and beautiful design
for the front wall. over the entrance.

officer wrote out for him, q very inter-

carried to his grave On the shoulders
of his weeping friends? Then, at a
later period, the books of e p. o.
were standard Sunday fiction. This
was a genuine relief, for they en-
bodied some glimmering of interest.
His first attempt was TO write a strict
ly religious novel, and Barriers
Burned Away" by E. P. Roe, became
a Sunday school classic. This was
quickly followed by those truly uplift-
ing books: From Jest 10 Earnest;
or Lost and Saved" and Opening Of
a Chestnut Burr"
BY this time the author found fc-
ton paid so well that he dropped the
Rev" and went in for pure fiction.
1t was pure, and it might be called fic-
ton, but it was awful slush. Closely
rivaling Roe vas "Pansy," and her
books had 3 tremendous vogue back
in the eighties, but non of them ever
held a marker to the Elsie books.
There was a heroine who would
have delighted the orthodox soul
of Billy Sunday. At the early age OF
eight she was a walking concordance,
and her manner of shooting texts of
Scripture at the unsaved was discOn-
certing to say the least. A lovely child,
though, was little Elsie. She refused
to tell stories on Sunday to her play
mates unless they would listen TO Bel
shaZZ2r's feast or that classic about
the children in the fiery furnace.
They took those or nothing. Mon
day or any other day was all right
for fairy stories, but on Sunday. never.
1t was too bad that Elsie didn't die
young, but there was too much money
in her. She went through twenty
eight awful volumes, her %girlhOod, her
wifehood, her widowhood, and Elsie
as a grandmother quickly followed in
close succession. She is dead now.
Sometimes death is robbed Of its hor-
rors. Elsie was a shining mark for
years. It's a pity her end was SO long
