AND STILL THEY DO 1T.
Two Autos Side-Swipe Each other On
Road to Montpelier.

Two Ford touring cars, one owned by
Silas II. Unwin OF Barre street, Mont
pelier, and the other by J. Sassi, collided
about o'clock last evening near the
Capital City gas plant on the Barre road.
Each car carried five occupants, includ-
ing the drivers, and that none OF them
was injured is due to the fact that the
machines were covering the ground at a
moderate rate of speed.
Neither party was willing to assume
all the blame and agreed that they had
miscalculated and failed to turn out far
enough. The Unwin car, driven by Law
renee Unwin, was proceeding in the di
rection of Barre and met the other car,
each machine losing a front wheel when
the cars came together. The axle on the
Montpelier car will also have to be re-
placed The Barre car was taken to the
Kennedy garage in this city for repairs.

Their father met them as he was com

nizing his daughters threw his coat
about them and smothered the flames,
The children were so badly burned that
physicians said they could not live "a
hours.

DISCOVER $4,000 IN HOUSE
Public Administrator Finds Life Saw
ings of Couple Who Never
Used a Bank.

Moberly, Mo.-Ten thousand dollars
saved by Mr.. and Mrs. Johanna Radell
during their lifetime was found here
in the family residence recently by
Public Administrator j. Frank Hol-
man. Mr.. Holman was called in to
take charge of the estate of Mrs. Ra-
dell, an elderly woman who dropped
dead. He summoned three assistants
and with them made search of the
house.
Secreted in an old cabinet in a pin
cushion the searchers found $4,000
and locked in an iron-bound trunk the
men found $7,150 hidden in a flour
sack. The administrator believes
more money is about the premises.
The Radells never made deposit
at bank. They paid their debts in
currency. Mr.. Radell owned a bak-
cry here, which Mrs. Radell was rum
ming at the time of her death. No
children survive the couple and only
distant relatives can be found.

Tutt' Ali Travels at Speed Three
Times That of SWifteSt
Liner.
OUTRUNS TORPEDO IN TRIAL
Noise Of Turbines So Great That All
Orders Are Given by Signal
Ship Shakes as Though
in Earthquake.

ROme.-Tutt' Ali is the name OF
Italy's Youngest battleship. The name
means "All Wings" and it is not bad
ly chosen, for this ship dashes through
the ocean at the rate of the fastest
train that speeds across America. The
inventors are in the Italian navy, and
she was built in Italian shipyards with
Italian machinery and of Italian steel.
The inventors names, the ships ton
mage. it's present whereabouts, are all
dead secret. But the fact remains
that "All Wings" in her trial trip did
800 miles at three times the rate of
the fastest transatlantic ship.
Outruns Torpedo.
During the trip" says an officer,
"we were attacked by an enemy sub
marine. You would have laughed to
see the torpedo fall several hundred
wards clear of our stern, for we went
so quick that no torpedo now being
used could touch us. The torpedo
catchers which escorted us were left
far behind. In q few minutes all we
saw of them was a bit of smoke"
This ship has stood her trials so
we'll that more are in the stocks. Tut
Ali is said to have Joined the Adri-
attic fleet.
AS neither coal nor naphtha could
be stored in large enough quantities
TO enable Tut Ali to travel at such
a rate, the inventors had recourse to
a combination of naphtha and COM
pressed air. The naphtha passes
through compressed air at such a ter
rife rate that it energies in state of
authorization it is then propelled into
so-caIled boilers by means of atmos-
pheric. pressure, thus producing heat
of from 1000 to $500 degrees cent?
grade. Tut Ali has three turbines,
which propel with a force of S,4O0
horse power each.
Terrific Speed.
The result is the terrific speed at
tanned and the general effect of a
nhantom ship. The safety valves
throw off showers of water and pull

purple in the sun as they fly upward

stones in the street the grass was
thriving, just as it was on the rail-
road tracks at the big station.
We climbed piles of debris from the
cathedral and wendell our way through
some of the narrow streets until we
came to place where it was possible
to enter the deep cheese cellars where,
in peace times, thousands of cheeses
are stored after being brought in from
the country roundabout.
A smiling FrenchwOman who lives
at the very entrance of one of these
deep cellars took us into one, where
we walked by candle light to a place
where the light from above suddenly
came through shell hole. For three
days and nights she and others with
a number of children remained in one
of these cellars, subsisting on raw po-
tatOes. Her husband was killed by a

These people, who still tenaciously

if we were not afraid we would be
torpedoed in making the cross-chan-

submarines were no such menace as
frequent bombardment. She smiled
and said the cellars were quite safe
during such times and, anyway, they
were getting used to it.
On one of the main thoroughfares
we stopped to have an open-air lunch

street, which in ordinary times was
one of the most creditable in the city.
