Message for Wilson.

Norfolk, Va.-Completing a record
sea voyage of approximately 1900
miles unattended in sixteen days and
daringly running the gauntlet of Brit
ish and French cruisers standing
guard off the Virginia capes, the
mammoth German submarine Deutsch-
land slipped into Chesapeake bay.
Commanded by Captain Karig and
manned by a crew of Twenty-Five men,
the Deutschland evaded the waiting
allied cruisers, and barely four miles
from the breakers and hardly a mile
inside the enemy's warships, came to
the surface. The run was quickly
made to the pilot boat station off the
Cape Henry lighthouse, where the
U-boat halted and began signaling,
evidently expecting to find the tug
Timmons in waiting.
This vessel is the most gigantic
submarine ever built. 1t is 315 feet
long, and has a spread of some 40
feet.
Questioned as to the undersea
boats cargo, Captain Karig frankly
states that he had on board 1000
tons Of cargo, including a quantity OF
dyestuffs, a communication from En-
peror William of Germany to Presi-
dent Wilson. He landed the messen-
ger Monday for the trip to Washing
ton.
Lack of accurate information about
the experiences Of the Deutschland
prevented local shipping men from
making an estimate upon the speed
at which she had travelled. Bremen
haven is 1916 miles from Baltimore.
1t is said the submersible travelled
1000 to reach the United States, of
which distance 1900 were under wa
ter.

Prisoner May Escape.

The ancient custom of forcing
males convicted of misdemeanor to
work out fines on the city streets or
highways, received a jolt in the SUI
preme court when Judge Fred L. Will
liams filed an opinion directing that
Ted Owens be discharged from serv-
ing two years in the p~enitentiary.
Owens was convicted of felonious
assault in Howell county and fined
500 and committed to Jail. Later
he was turned over to the street
commission of West Plains and put
at work on the streets. He escaped,
but later was caught, indicted by the
grand jury for jail breaking and SEN
fenced to the penitentiary for two
years.
Judge Williams says the jail
breaking statutes do not cover such
offenses as Owens was convicted of,
and that his liberty must be restored,
at least so far as the penitentiary SEN
tence is concerned. He says there is
no law making escapes of this charac-
ter a felony.

during wet weather On sandy roads
anything that will prevent the free
movement of the sand particles will
be of value. AS long as the road is
damp, the surface tension Of the capil-
larry water acts as a binder and holds
the separate grains of sand in place.
All efforts should, therefore, be direct
ed toward preventing the sandy places
from drying out, or to adding some
binder. The addition of clay furnishes
a positive binder and is really the best
and most permanent treatment. The
addition of any fibrous material such
as straw, spent tan bark, sage brush
or pine needles fs of value and, when
spread on the road and covered with
thin coat Of sand or allowed to work
into the surface, will make an almost
impossible sand road fairly good for q
time. But the best way to treat bad
place, whether on clay or sand
road, Is to treat 1t before # gets bad.
Immediate attention to small injuries
will prevent later prolonged attention
and extensive repairs to serious dam
ages.

Briefly, then, a sheep with one
pair of permanent teeth Is a yearling;
sheep with two pairs is a two-year
old; with three pairs, a three-year
odl; and with four pairs, a four.year
old.
After sheep is four years old, one
cannot tell by the teeth about the
age. However, one who Is purchasing
a sheep should see to 1t that 1t has
not lost any teeth, or that the teeth
have not become long and shoe-peggy

may be broken by being blown OF q
window ledge by the wind. By means
Of this holder, recently patented by
a Palouse (Wash.) man, the milk bot.
tie is securely held in place. A metal
lie plate is securely hinged onto the
upper end of the holder to cover the
cap and hold it securely in place. This,
besides keeping the dog or cats from
clawing the cap out to get to the milk,
prevents dirt from settling on the cap
to cause annoyance and keeping 1t from
falling into the bottle and its contents
when opened. A continuous piece OF
wire is used in making the main por-
tion of the holder. This wire Is so
welded together smoothly that there
are no rough edges to catch and tear
the hand or clothing. The wire makes
a loop beneath the bottom of the bot
tie SO that 1t may act as a sort OF
cushion to prevent breaking in case
of being set down hard. The double
band about the center Of the bottle
prevents 1t being struck against the
cement curb or stone when set down
BY the carrier.
