ONE AMERICAN IS INJURED

PARIS, March 11.-Seven OF the

The Petit Parisien says that one

The Silius was cotton three master,

state Department Notified.
WASHINGTON. March 11.-Consul os-
borne at Havfe, reported today that when
the Norwegian bark Sillus from New York
to Havre was torpedoed without warning
IN Havre roads on the night of March 9,
seven Americans aboard were rescued
The loss OF the Slius was first reported
last night from London Three members
or the crew were reported lost
state department officials seemed IN
clined to view the attack on the Silius as
serious affair
! So far dispatches to the State depart
ment simply have said the vessel was
torpedoed without warming No mention
was made of the nationality of the sub.
marine, and there was nothing 70 indi-
! cate whether a torpedo actually was re-
sponsible for the sinking of the vessel OF
whether it might have struck a mine.
II the Silius was torpedoed. such an at
tack was contrary to the assurances the
United States has secured from the cen.
| trail powers.
Secretary Lansing said no action woule
be taken until the State department had
full information.

WASHINGTON, March IL
While American troops are prepar-
ing to move across the Mexican bor-
der to exterminate the villa bandits,
General Carranza, in an official
communication delivered through
Consul Silliman, has asked the
United States for permission to send
his troops into American territory

Administration officials regard
General Carranzas proposal as
favorable. II seems to indicate that
he will not protest against American
troops on Mexican soil, as has been
feared. Practically such a recipro-
cal arrangement probably would
never result in a single Carranza SOL
Gier crossing the line, as the possi-
bility Of bandits taking refuge in
American territory is considered re-
mote.

Notes..

PAINT BRUSH FOR aREAsINe PANS
When greasing cake and bread pans,
etc., try nsing q small fat paint-brush
instead of the usual piece of paper. The
butter will spread more evenly and with
much less trouble.
For pans that have been burned or TO
which the food has stuck, and II water
is scarce, try dipping them into the hot
dishwater before starting to wash the
other dishes, then turn them upside
down until ready to wash. They will be
as easily washed az IL soaked for an hour.
FOB CHILBLAINs
Slice raw potatoes with the skins on
and sprinkle over them q little salt, and
as soon as the liquid therefrom settles In
the bottom Of the dish, wash with 1t the
obilblains; one application Is alt that is
necessary.
HINT ON ROAST PORK
When buying a strip of pork to roast
get your butcher to saw the long bone
on the top of the strip lengthwise in
stead of cracking Ii at each chop. When
roast is done it can be taken off and
each slice cut without any splintered
bones. I find 1t very easy to serve and
neat.
PRACTICAL, USEFUL HINTS
Baked potatoes-A quick and nice way
is to place potatoes over the oven under
the middle cover and cover with an old
pan or an old tin cover. They will bake
In one-third the time 1t would take ip
the oven.
Fried cabbsge-After preparing cab
bsge or onions to fry, just place them In
the oven, close the door and notice how
much nicer the flavor will be, also the
time saved In stirring, and best Of all no
odor.
A quick and sanitary way 10 after
washing the sink, rinse freely with hot
water and 1t will dry itself. You can
save one-half the usual time spent.
To wash bean pot with little trouble
put 1t in the dishpsn upside down with
cold water and soap powder and let II
come to boil. Take the pan away from
the fire and let 1t stand awhile. The
water will suck up in the pot when you
take II of the stove and when you wash
1t the dirt will come of the rim ss we'll
as the inside.
When pulling out the canvas threads
from piece of cross.stitch embroidery
try using strawberry huller and you
will be glad you read this hint. 1t will
save your time and your f1nger.nails.
TO MAKE wAsH.sILK LOOK LIKE NEW
Put . tablespoonful OF wood alcohol to
every quart of water when rinsing and
iron while still damp.
When washing articles that are badly
soiled use small scrubbing brush and
scrub over the wsshboard.
II fine pieces get too dry when ironing
take piece Of thin cloth and wiring out
In cold water, laying IL on the ironing
board under the article, press with warm
iron, then remove the wet piece and I'm
ish ironing.
TO PREVENT BUTTONS CATCHING IN THE
wRINGER
Feed garments into the wringer with
the buttons at the bottom. 1t is impos.
sible for them to catch, as cloth 10 al
ways rolling over them, whereas with
the buttons on top they tip up away
from the bottom roller and catch In the
top roller. Try this way once and you
will have no further trouble.

The First Atlas.

The first modern atlas was the work
uf Abraham Ortelius, Dutch geogra-
pher, who died 518 years ago. His
monumental treatise, entitled "The-
atrum Cribs Terrarum," was first pub
lishcl at Antwerp in 1870 and was re-
vised and reissued five times during
the authors lifetime. 1t was folio
volume containing nearly huadred
maps, representing the different coun-
tries and continents as they were then
known. Although this atlas was a
nomentous achievement, yet bright
schoolboy today could draw maps from
memory with q better approximation
to correctness. Even England and
Scotland appear in this pioneer volume
with amazing distortions Of coast line
and relative area, and many other
maps In the volume bear only slight
resemblance to those Of today.-New

Indiana and Time.

Certain Of the reservation Indians
still cling to the calendar Of their an
cestors. The Indian method was to
compute time by sleeps and moons.
A sleep Is twenty-four hours, and a
moon is a month. There Is also a
midmoon, where the sun Is at IL
o'clock meridian. This hour Is indi-
Gated by pointing overhead.
When an Indian pointed quarter way
no the sky he meant 8 o'clock; when
he pointed quarter way down he meant
8 o'clock. Sunrise was the eastern
horizon and sunset the western.
When there was moon the time
was indicated in the same way as by
the sun. Were an Indian asked the
distance to a certain place or how far
he had come he would say 80 many
sleeps, or days travel A sleep, as
describing distance, was about thirty
five miles when walking deliberately
or from fifty to seventy-fve miles If,
going in haste with q message.-Phil-
adelphia Inquirer.
