THE SHACkLET0N
SHIP AURORA IS
AT DUNEDIN, n. Z.
Greeted with News of the War,
the First They Have Heard
for II Months

Dunelin, N. T., April 3.-On the arrival
of the Aurora, the supply ship Of the
Shackleton Antactic expedition, here. j.
p. Stenhouse, the first officer who
brought the vessel from Ross sea. ex-
pressed confidence that Sir Ernest
Shackleton had succeeded in making his
trip across the Pole. according to his
plans He added that although the par
ty entrusted with the depot laying were
to go as far south as possible. they may
nevertheless have been unable to reach
Cane Beardmore, the point originally in
tended.
Mr.. Stenhouse explaining the circum-
stances in which the Aurora broke adrift
said:
A Sad Home Coming
1T might look rs II we were running
away to save our hides, but as matter
of fact the ship was 80 buckled by ner
six weeks pressure from the ice that
the ships party we're on the point or
abandoning her and sending wireless
message to the King requesting that
relief expedition be sent, when she man.
aged to get clear. 1t was sad home
coming, but 1t was utterly impossible for
the ship to be of any use in her condi-
ton. ] hope to return with the same
personnel and to pick up the parties left
ashore"
Mr. Stenhouse said they had taken
enough hawsers and anchors to moor 4
battleship, but they snapped like threads
in the blizzard.
"As our ship drifted away" he said,
1--WE could see plainly the lights in the
little hut occupied by the landing party"
For some the explorers lived on what
they were able to kill, mainly seals and
penguns, their provisions just holding
out.
The wireless operator of the tug which
towed the Aurora into Port Chalmers,
nine miles from here, gave the explorers
the latest war news, the first news from
the outside world they had received in
II months.

100000 FIRE IN
NEW YORK CITY

New York, April "a section of the
business district in the lower part of
the city was threatened today by spec
tacular fire which burned two five-story
buildings at 16 and 1s Beekman street,
occupied by paper dealers. The loss
was estimated at 100000.
For a time the flames, which swept
rapidly through the inf1ammable mate
rials in the buildings imperilled several
sky scrapas on both sides of the mar
row thoroughfare and on Nassau street.
Several floors of the fourteen story
Morse building We're damaged.
The American Tract Society building
of 20 stories in which the New York
Sun Offices are located, also was dam
aged by smoke and water.
Four alarms were turned in within
20 minutes calling out virtually all fire
apparatus south Of o3rd street. Police
reserves were summoned to keep thou-
sands of persons who crowded about the
scene from being injured.
Water from the fire hose poured down
Beekman street and threatened to flood
the excavation of the new subway, but
the workmen built dam with sacks Of
earth and cement diverting the stream
into Spruce street.
The buildings burned today were bad
ly damaged by fire about two weeks ago
and were being repaired. The heaviest
losses from the fire were sustained by
the Thorpe Paper Co. Lasher and La
trop Paper Co.. Lindenmeyer Paper Co..
and Bishop Paper Co.

Edible SnaiIs.
GGiCIc SnatIS.
'Journal of the American Medical

tJournal of the American Medical
AsSociation)
TO most Americans the idea of using
snails in the diet will not awaken
Sastronomic enthusiasm; but there are
people in various parts of the world
to whom the suggestion of the use
OF other mollusks, such as oysters and
clans. would be repugnant. 1t is not
necessary to go back to the days of
the elder Pliny for evidence that
edible snails have had a place on the
menus of many countries. 1t is stated
that during our own oyster season,
from September to April, more than
2000 million snails are disposed of in
Paris alone. The daily consumption
of "escargOts" in the French capital
has been estimated at so tons when
trade is at its best. In the belief that
the American people can be educated
to see the true worth of the edible
snail. which might be grown with
profit in the United States, gov
ernment expert has collected some
facts bearing on their use. The Eu-
ropean war has added further in
terest to the possibility of snail cul-
ture. Comparatively few Americans
laye ever tasted snails, know Of their
preparation as food, or even consider
them fit article of diet. Among the
foreigners in our population, snails
have a limited sale. Those sold in
the fish markets of our larger cities
have practically all been imported
from France Abroad, snails are by
TO means regarded in any sense as
national dish. They are included in
the dietary much as is the oyster In
this country, as table luxury or
delicacy. In respect to composition,
the two groups Of mollusks furnish
about the same yield Of nutrients. In
Europe, snails are raised commercially
under an intensive system of culture
in many places, in snaileries. Rust
believes that although snail culture
may not be very profitable in Europe,
where economic conditions are diff
ferent, in that the food for the ami
mails must be grown and supplied
to them regularly and severything
done with much labor on restricted
areas of land, in the United States
snail farming might with judlclous
publicity, and in time become proflt-
able. Whether or not it is advantage
Gus, from the standpoint of nutrition,
to attempt to introduce new fooa
to the American table is question OF
individual preference. Almost every
one, Rust writes, who has ever eaten
we'll prepared snails, admits their
gastronomic worth, from the points
both of nutritive value and of flavor.
and there are many states where they
could be grown and kept fresh until
used, and where they would prove
very welcome addition to the some
what limited menu Of the locality. In
the Mississippi Valley, for instance.
where conditions for their cultivation
are almost ideal. they could be grown
at practically no cost (either In money.
time or labor), and might be used to
great extent in place Of oysters, winch
they greatly resemble in flavor when
properly prepared. Such practice
would be advantageous for the snail
is possibly preferable as an article OF
human consumption.

Business started in we'll Monday
morning at the municipal court with
quite a grist of cases which were va
ried enough to meet with the approval
of the Jury" which some wag has
styled the good-sized coterie which is
always on hand when there is anything
doing in the courtroom.
Principal perhaps among the cases
which We're heard by Judge Lancas-
ter at that particular session of the
court was that of Ernest Copson, who
was arraigned on complaint of his
wife, Rose E. CopsCn, who charged
him with desertion. the date of which
was also their wedding day. Herbert
Locke appeared for the respondent,
who pleaded not guilty.
According to the testimony for the
complainant she went home with her
brother on the Gay OF the wedding. ct
which time Copson is alleged to have
told her brother to keep her for two
or three days and he would find her
q ROOM that she went with her
er's: that the complainant was sick a
week and then came over to the May
fair hospital; that she was still in the
hospital but was feeling much better.
The respondent claimed that he has
been paying his wife So per week and
that his weekly pay is $12; that he
passed two weeks in Brockton, Mass
on a visit. 1t also came out in the tes
t;rlony that the woman's bills at the
hospital were being laid by her broth
er, Charles Brooks. Mr. Locke's argu-
ment in brief was that the respondent
had been paying all that he could at
ford to pay.
At the conclusion Of the hearing it
was the order of the court that the
case be continued for two weeks.
Another case was that of Clara
Erskine, who was arraigned on the
charge Of being an idle and disorderly
person with no visible means of sup
port and avoiding all lawful employ
ment or calling. She pleaded not guilty
to the charge and in defense claimed
that she was taking care Of two chill
dren. The court dispo sed Of the case
for the present by suspending sem
tence.
Other cases for the court were the
outcome of arrests which had been
made for intoXication, one of the re-
spondents being a woman. She was
given a sentence Of $40 and costs or
80 days in Jail. The other respondents
We're four men, one of whom was
given costs or 80 days in jail, which
sentence was suspended another was
given SO and costs or 80 days in jail,

How We Can Increase
Our Weight

THIN people. particularly those who
are ten pounds or more under
normal weight, and who would
like to put on some good healthy stay
there flesh will be glad to know that
such result is often made possible by
merely enabling the system to extract
and assimilate a greater proportion Of
the flesh and fatmaking elements in our
daily meals.
1t is said that while thin people eat
enough the greater portion Of the flesh
making nourishment of their food goes
right through their bodies as waste be-
cause their assimilative organs are de-
fective and cannot absorb them.
To correct such a defect and to get
100 per cent strength and flesh making
efficiency from your food try taking
little Sargol with meals for a few
weeks.

TRAINING TODAYS
BOYS AND GIRLS
Spontaneous Desire to "Invent"
Is Worth Preserving.
DO NOT LOOK FOR THE MOTIVE
Impulse to Create Something Unusual
May Be Directed Into Channels
That Are Worth While With
out Being Suppressed
By sIDoNIE eRUENRERG.

THE first day of fathers little yaca-
i ton it rained, so they could not go
on the excursion, as planned That
gave father a chance to catch up with
some reading, as everyone had TO stay
indoors. The first interruption came
when James brought him an odd con-
trivance made up of sticks and wires
and strings. James was very enthusi-
astic, and father patiently laid his
book aside to see what was going on.
"Oh, father, see how it looksI' ex-
claimed the inventor, and as everyone
looked on he pulled one of the strings.
There was a twisting and straining
among the sticks and wires, and one of
the sticks jerked away from its COM
panions and stood out straight The
younger members of the family were
enchanted, and the youngest said, do
1t again." But father failed to get eX-
cited.
''Well, what is it?" he asked.
"Oh, it's just a machine" exclaimed
James, somewhat chilled. Every time
1 pull the string that stick flies up,
you see.'
Yes, father saw. whats the use
of it?" he queried, perhaps as much
to make conversation and to encourage
the child as to satisfy his own curios-
ity.
James had to admit that it was Of no
use, but maintained stoutly that it
worked. Father was permitted to re-
turn to his book, and the children
went back to their play. But James
had not been encouraged. On the con-
trary, he had been infected with a sug-
gestion that might, indeed-in the
course of time-stimulate him to fur
ther effort, but one that would almost
certainly take the edge off his spon-
taEeity.
Father, with his experience and with
his feeling of responsibility, had
reached the point of planning his time
and calculating his energy expen-
ditures. He knew a good reason for
everything he did outside of the or
binary routine, like reading a novel or
going to a baseball game. He also
knew a good reason why he followed
some of his routine like hanging up
his back to the window. Everything
he did was either the result of habit
or the result of deliberate intention.
And he had forgotten that children
sometimes act without motive and
without purpose.
One of the commonest reasons for
our failure to get along with young
children, and for our failure to get |
the most out of them, is our attempt to |

But this question is quite proper. it
is even necessary Children must learn
to conserve their energy and to make
full use of their time and of their re-
sources. The only danger is that we
shall narrow the range of fuses that
are to guide us and our children in
controlling and directing the impulses
We must recognize that having fun
solving puzzles or contrivine gim-
cracks or whiting a stick is quite as
legitimate a motive for a child as get

1t is better for the child to be max

than to do nothing for lack of some

Fultons and Howes are rare enough
but every normal child is considerably
more of an inventor than we ordinarily
recognize. Most of US stop inventing
rather early in life because those who
are a few years older ask the stupid

BEST SPEED FOR SEPARAToRs
Appalling Loss of Cream Due to Uni
versaI Tendency of Operator to
Work Machine Slowly.

At Purdue university the experiment
station collected and published a lot
of data showing the appalling loss in
cream due to the universal tendency of
separator operators to turn the ma
chine too slowly. Their bulletin No. 116,
volume ID, was a revelation to many,
many dairymen, who had been losing
anywhere up to 500 per year worth of
butterfat, simply by turning their sepa-
ratorS below speed.
At the fairs recently, a leading
speedometer manufacturer had thou
sands of tests run to get further proofs
positive that a great majority of op-
orators turn their machines below
speed. Over 50 per cent of the dairy
men turned their machines too slowly.
And a majority turned them so far be-
low speed that they were losing
pounds and pounds of butterfat every
week.
