Recovering Ships Beacned in storm

During the severe storm which
swept the Gulf coast last fall, four
British steamers and a schooner IN
Galveston harbor and Bolivar Roads
were swept far from deep water, says
the February Popular Mechanics mag
azine. Two of the vessels were left
high and dry, while two others were
carried nearly five miles from water
sufficiently deep to float them None
Of the ships, however, was badly in
jured.
The task Of getting the merchant
men back to deep water was the larg
est salvaging operation ever attempted
in the South. To accomplish it five
dredges and some 500 men were EN-
ployed day and night for period of
six weeks. In recovering two of the
vessels a channel four and one-half
miles long, 200 feet wide, and 10 feet
deep was cut through the bay. In each
instance it was necessary to cut a
slip to the stranded vessel, dig en-
tirely around it and then remove the
sand and earth beneath it by hydraulic
pressure.
One of the ships was carried down
the channel by the hundreds mile
an-hour wind and lifted out of the
water into a railroad yard. A larg

were grounded on Pelican Spit, while
the other two ships were carried out
into prairie at Swan lake. The ma
chinerv in the four steamers was capa-
bic of being operated, so when it came
time to make the final efforts to float
the vessels, basins were dredged IN

their engines used to assist the tugs.

PUTTING UP THE OYSTER.
Showing How Easily Four Quarts May
Be SweIIed Into Five.

Adulteration Of oysters on the half
shell. freshly opened. might be thought
as difficult as adulteration of unpeeled
fruit. But the purists to whom all
things are impure have discovered that
oysters are "adulterated" by soaking
them in fresh water. 1t is not suggest
ed that the water is unwhOlesome
either for the oysters or those who
eat them. But that is not to the point.
These things are all arranged for us at
Washington, and the department of
agriculture. which is particularly de-
voted to oyster culture, has issued a
formal statement to all and sundIy re-
garding the heinous practice of max
ing oysters look plump and white by
soaking them in water. 1t is official
information that if four quarts of
oysters and a quart of fresh water are
placed in five quart cOntainer and
the mixture allowed to stand for sew
eral hours there will be a marked
change in the appearance of the con
tents of the container. To the naked
eye there will appear to be five quarts
of dry oysters. for the container will
be full and there will be little or no
water in sight, it being on the inside
of the plump. succulent looking oys
tiers. The average purchaser has no
means of detecting the addition of wa
ter.
That relates only to "shucked" Oys
tiers. Half shell oysters drink" water
and thus understood oysters may be
converted into select" beyond the
detection of any but a chemist The
purpose of publishing these facts is
to make it known to all lawbreakers
and oyster caterers that all such oys-
tiers are ''adulterated under section Z
Of the food and drugs act" which pro-
vides that food is adulterated ''if a
substance has been substituted in
whole or in part for the article"

waistline and below. There are many
of us who favor the high collar, even
in summer, but this is fashioned OF
net or organdy, and is open in 'front.'
so it is really not high collar after
all, but very becoming detail OF
frock or blouse. The wide, cape-like
collars are most popular this sum-
ner. For summer evenings, with light
rocks, there are becoming ruffs Of
act, chiffon, or malines, and the chic
little shoulder capes of Georgette
trimmed with fur or marabout.
Sleeves are transparent, or semi
transparent, of crepe, net or chiffon
to match the color of the material OF
the frock; and are both long and
short. The closely cuffed sleeve is
favored, and also the flowing sleeve.
These latter are very easily made, be-
ing finished around the lower edge
with bias fold, or the effective edge.
Undertakings for Sheer Frocks
Although not as conspicuous, equal
ly as important as the frock are the
dainty undertakings designed to COM
plete it. Combinations, envelope
chcmises, camisoles, petticoats and
knickerbockers are being fashioned Of
pale pink or blue cotton crepe or wolfe,
the barred and striped cottons, wash
satins, and the daintiest possible Of
sprigged silks with pale toned
grounds.
The pink or blue crepe or wolfe is
usually finished around armholes, neck
and lower edges with bias folds of
contrasting color attached with hem
stitching. The lowered silks are al
so bound with white, or plain color,
or are finished with lace. The en-
velope chemise is one of the most pop
~ular of garments, being shirred,
shocked, tucked or box-pleated. For
general wear glove-like knickerbock-
ers and plain camisole are most
practical.
Shantung Used in Simple Dresses
The summer muslins are exception
ally dainty and charming in their col
or combinations this season; maize,
rose, the palest of pinks and blues be-
ing popular, and also white. Shantung
and pongee are modish, too, being
Used in many of the imported frocFs
and suits. These Standings come IN
charming colorings, in stripes, dots,
conventionalized designs and plain
tones. They are most practical FOR
street dresses and suits OF the sports
type. Plain natural pongee is being
trimmed with vivid, contrasting touch
es of rose, emerald green, which is
one of the most popular of shades this
season, orange, and the other popular
shades. Shantung and pongee are al
so modish and practical materials for
the separate coats for general wear
over light frocks and for motoring.

the beef cattle business in Tennes-

things, to protect the breeders now
engaged in the production of pure
bred live stock

If proper cooperation comes to the
work of the farmers of this section
of the state there will result greater
profits to the live stock business
than has been true during recent
years. This work will build up the
reputation of Tennessee as a pro-
