MESSAGE FOUND IN BOTTLE ASKS HELP
Ship Crew Sends Word They Are Stranded on Un-
 known Island

Biloxi, Miss, August 2.-With the finding on Deer Island today of a bot tie in which was enclosed a note bear ing the words, Help, help! On an un- known island. George Duggan and crew." preparations were made tonight by shipping interests and relatives of Captain Duggan to search the islands of the Chameleon group for the cap tain and five members of the crew of the schooner Emma Harvey, washed to sea from Chameleon Island during the tropical hurricane of July 5. The bottle was found on the beach at Deer Island, about six miles from here, by a boy and brought to Biloxi. Relatives of Captain Duggan examined the writ ing and declared it to be that of the missing skipper.
 Belief was expressed here tonight that the Emma Harvey sailors had been washed out on one of the many small islands comprising the Chande- leur group. There are 12 charted isl- ands in the Chandeleu group. besides the main island on which is located the lighthouse. There are, however, many small portions of salt marsh land, which are uncharted. It was stated that owing to the prevalence of fish and other sea food about these islands and because of almost daily rains since July 5, the sailors could have survived

SUBMARINE PASSES CAFES OF VIRGINIA

toward the press boat. Suddenly they turned off as if to go down the Old Point channel, but when the dis patch boat made for the same channel. they again changed their course and headed directly for Cape Henry.
 As the Deutschland came on, it was apparent that she was carrying false superstructure, slightly lower than her coming tower. It was straw colored and blended with the oilskin coats worn by her crew, who crowded the deck. When about a mile from the press boat, the submersible began to clear away the false superstructure and take soundings as if preparing to dive. The Timmins moved ahead of the un- dersea liner and signaled that she intended to passNo the starboard side. Immediately both vessels increased their speed and put over to the star board.
 As the Timmins came alongside the press boat at distance of perhaps 100 feet and with the Deutschland moving slowly close to her starboard side. Captain Hinsch, of the German war bound steamer Neckar, who had charge of the clearing of the Deutsch- land, shouted through a megaphone: Who's that?"
 Upon being advised that it was a news paper boat, he shouted the information

Builder. Spare That Attic! !!

From the Kansas City Star.
 very modern indictment against the architects and builders of this town has been returned by a young married couple who have spent considerable time looking for home. They report the incredible fact that there are no attics in the newer class of homes, or very few. Where the attic ought to be there are finished rooms with regu- lar floors, paper walls. and lighting fixtures.
 To the philosophic mind this is a state of affairs of the gravest moment, for in the swift moving tide of Ameri- can life that has swept away SC many of the moorings of the home and fam fly, the attic was about all that was left to tie to. Not everybody can have ancestors portraits. family skeletons, and the other things that go with line- age, but everybody can have an attic if they will make a stand for 1t and not allow a mere style in houses to de- prive them of their rights. An attic Is the nearest substitute for family tree that has been discovered. Tt takes only few generations to furnish 1t with mementoes that constitute complete genealogical history of the occupants of the house. And these are the things like portraits and skeletons-that go to preserve family pride.
 No man can go into the attic and see the first coppertoed boots he wore as a boy hanging to the rafters without feel ing some sort of a stir within him. He cannot see the remains of his grand mothers hoopskirts without feeling somehow that there is connecting link between him and the history of his country As for the padded silk brocaded vest his grandfather wore on his wedding day, it Is a patent of re- spectability equal to suit of armol- besides looking a good deal like one.

 It was not long before daylight when the yacht met with an accident which forced her to lap up into the wind and the seas.
 Whether she submerged before reaching the three-mile limit is unknown The two accompanying boats only know that she disappeared unharmed and that to all appearances she had a clear field ahead to point where she could sub merge in safety.
