.SCATTERS HUSBANDS
ASHES ON THE ATLANTIC

Greenville. Miss, July 26.--Mrs.
George Starr who was born at Eliza
beth, Miss. near here. but who for
many years has resided at liverpool,
England. where she married. has re-
turned home after scattering her hus-
bands ashes to the four winds on the
Atlantic Ocean.
Mfr Starr died ten months ago Be
fore his death. he requested his wife
TO scatter his ashes TO the winds. She
was about to comply with his last re-
quest in England, but found there
was q statute against the ceremonies.
So she kept the ashes, intending 10
bring them to America with her hut
while on the ocean she felt the re-
quest Of her departed husband must
be fulfilled. Here IS her story:
He was a Free Mason Of the 32nd
degree. He did not want to be buried
or have any funeral ceremonies. He
wanted me to cast his ashes to the
four winds. These were his last
words. But after had had the body
cremated. l found that the law would
not allow me to carry out his wish
80 deposited the urn with his
ashes In tho eaetaooFnhs of Norwood
Cemetery, near the Crystal Palace, in
London. and kept them there until
the day before left England. three
weeks ago.
THAT night put the box containing
the ashes under my pillow and felt
the presence OF my dear husband so
WILDLY that | said, as II he had ac-
tuaHy been present, Good night, faith
er dear: you're on your way home
again
ION July when enc ship was two
days out, I waited until evening and
then putting the ashes, which weigh
ed about two pounds. into the cape OF
my cpaut, I went on deck and cast the
sacred dust into the sea-
"As I threw handful after handful
over the side, I uttered a prayer and
when it was all over cannot de-
scribe the calm which had come into
my heart and soul It was blowing
gale and none Of the passengers
were on dsck. I was observed only
by sailor, who appeared to be eve
ing me susp4cdousy. but finally walk
ed away and left me alone and un-

task -

Accident policies will happen in the
best regulated families. The last time
we got one it was a very simple mat
ter. After the physical examination,
which lasted three hours and q half,
we were obliged to fill out q blank,
answering the following questions:
Where were you born, and. il so,
how much?
Do you expect to live until Decem-
Der, and II so, what reason have you
for doing so?
Were you ever killed before, and, if
so, how many times? Please fill in
particulars in each case.
DO you ride in automobiles or dodge
EN-? This is important.
DO you engage in the pleasant but
perilous occupation of trying to sell
books from house to house on the in
stalment plan? This is considered an
extreme risk.
Did your grandfather ever have the
mumps? How many and on which
side-your fathers or your mothers?
Did you ever break your collarbone
or your right forearm trying to button
q sixteen collar on fifteen shirt? II
so, why not?
Do you believe in embalming or
cremation?
DO you go around looking for trouble
or do your wife's folks come and visit

During his administration of the
Navy Department Secretary Daniels
has done nothing that demonstrates
his incompetence and irresponsibility
more completely than his remarkable
performance in suppressing the an
nual report which Admiral Frank Il.
Fletcher, commanding the Atlantic
fleet, made on August 15. 1915. The
report has been shrouded in secrecy
Until Senator Lodge called for it in q
resolution it was kept under lock and
key. " Except Mr.. Bryan in
his conduct of the State Department
no American has done the country
greater injury than Josephus Daniels

ment. The service would rejoice and

If he would resign an office for which
he never had any qualifications.

TO A FRIEND

If nothing else in all the world
Remained but just a glimpse of you,
I'd still believe the world was good
And life was worth the living too.
If every friend had proven false
But you. I'd still have faith to know
That God could raise up other friends
To stand by me in veal or woe.
IL over all the world a cloud
Had settled, deeper than the night,
And ] should see your smile, Id know
Somewhere. sometime, there would
be light.
If ev'ry bird that ever sang
Had lost the note it sang before,
One word of yours would make me feel
That music would peal forth once
more.
If ev'ry lovely flower that grew
Had perished in this world of pain.
I'd trust the Power that made you,
dear,
To bring back loveliness again.
If no one else believed in God,
And no one else believed in me,
Your joy in life. your faith, your love,
Would make me feel eternity.

THE SEARCHLIGHT

The Swiss Government railroads have
begun to operate a new device called the
dynamometer car, for gathering def
mite information about mechanical
problems of track and roadbed. The
dynamometer car runs on the rails like
an ordinary passenger coach, but 1t Is
score of measuring Devices
1t measures the steepness of every
grade. the pull of the train on the en-
gine draw-Dar, the power developed in
each of the engine cylinders, the fric-
ton of wheels on track, the lateral
thrust of the brake-shoes and the pres
sure they exert in braking, even the
resistance of the wind to the trains
progress at different speed.
The car is so equipped with mirrors
that the observer can see the track be-
fore and behind the train. All records
are made automatically on paper charts
as the car runs. When no measurements
are wanted ii is possible to disconnect
the apparatus and run the car as an
ordinary coach.
