TN THE final instant l saw that l had
i cleared the rocks and was going to strike
the water fairly. Then I was in and
plumbing the depths. I suppose i didn't
really go very far down, but it seemed to
me that should never stop. When at last
I dared curve my hands upward and divert
my progress toward the surface ! Thought
that | should explode for air before l ever
saw the sun again except through swirl
of water But at last my head popped
above the waves and filled my lungs with
air.
Before me was the boat, from which
Juag and Dian were clambering. l couldn
understand why they were deserting 1t
now when we were about to set out Tor
the mainland in it; but when / reached its
side I understood Two heavy javelins,
missing Dian and Juag by but hair 5
breadth, had sunk deep into the bottom or
the dugout in a straight line with the gram
of the wood, and split her almost in two
from stem to stern. She was useless.
Juag was leaning over nearby rock'

An occasional javelin was still dropping
perilously close to us, so we hasteneo 10

where we were comparatively safe from the
missiles
Here we held a brief conference. in which
it was decided that our only hope now lay
in making for the opposite end or the
island as quickly as We could and utilizing
the boat that I had hidden there to con-
tinue our journey to the mainland,
Gathering up three of the least damaged
javelins that had fallen about us, we sci
out upon our journey, keeping well toward
the south side of the island, which Juae
said was less frequented by the HooJans

ran. 1 think that this ruse must nave
thrown our pursuers off our track, since
we saw nothing of them nor heard any
sound of pursuit during the greater portion

But the way Juag had chosen was rougf
and roundabout, so that we consumed one
or two more marches in covering the dis

TT SEEMS incredible that Thursday
afternoons recital by David Bispham
at Witherspoon Hall, uuder the auspices
of the managing committee of the illus
trated Musical Talks" will be the last
of the long series of entertainments, mu.
sical and otherwise, given this winter for
the benefit Of the endowment fund Of
the Philadelphia Orchestra, but so it is.
This series runs later than any of the
others given for this object, and the com.
mittee, having so great an artist, with
SO popular a topic-Mr. Bispham's sub.
ject is to be "The English Language in
Speech and Song'-wisely decided to put
it's best attraction forward in a holiday
week. This committee, which consists Of
some very well known and active so.
ciety women who are intelligent and in
formed lovers of music. gives these very
charming and interesting afternoons
solely for the advancement Of musical
culture in Philadelphia, and with no de.
sire for financial profit.
Last year the committee turned over
| $500 to the pension fund of the orchestra.
| This year the profits are to go to the or.
| chestra's endowment fund, which l hear
| is now close to three.quarters of a million.
| You WILL of course, remember that not
only is Mr.. Bispham Of the well.known
Philadelphia family, but that he was the
first native % this city to be a member
of the Covent Garden and Metropolitan
Opera Companies. I hear he is to sing
several songs as well as lecture. Maybe
he will do Danny Deever" for us! Who
knows?
| NTATRIMONY has certainly struck the
A'A Downs family for fair this week. OF
course the war is the reason why, for
both Downs men are members Of the
First Troop of Philadelphia City Cav
airy, which is expecting orders at any
| moment Both Alice Thompson and Anne
Merrick had tho questionable joy Of an
nouncing their engagements just before
the troop departed for the Mexican or
der, and I guess they decided to lister
to the would.be Benedcks' pleas before
they left again, and this time on rea
war and with a fierce and by no means
yet finished enemy, and so yesterday Alic'
and Norton Downs, Jr., were married
quietly out in st. Paul's Church. In Over
brook, and on Thursday Anne and Nc
Kean Downs are to plight their troth
while today Bessie Downs is to be marrie'
to Rowland Evans, though today's wed
ding is not the outcome of imminent war
1t has been planned for some time TO
today.
But, really, it is bit hard on Mrs
Downs, isn't it? Three children marrie
in four days. However, she gains thre
by it, SO all is WELL and let us hope al
will remain well with these and all tn
others who must fight sooner or late
against militarism. NANCY WYNNE.

 Tn reference to the calling up of the physicians and surgeons following official communication is given:
 "The enemy. in total disregard for the accepted tenets of civilized war fare. has deliberately instituted sub marine campaign against hospital ships. and il has therefore become essential that a large number of his pit8ls be established overseas in the various theatres of war for the treat ment of sick and wounded. In order to allow this to be done with great rapidity il is essential to secure the services of every doctor that can pos sibly be spared from the United King dom

Kentuckian Takes Issue With Kansan on Account of Corn and Barley For Alcohol. Kentuckian Should Know.
CBy Review Leased Wire)

LOUISVILLE. Ky, April 20.-r. N. Gilmore of Louisville, president of the National Model License League. tOGaE issued statement contradicting as sertions concerning the amount ol grain used annually by the brewing and distilling industries made recently at St Louis by Henry J. Waters. pres ident of the Kansas State Agricrlturai College. before d conference called by Secretary of Agriculture Houston 10 consider the food situation of the ma tion.
 The statement quotes Leon M. Est abrook, chief of the bureau of crop estimates Of the department oi agri- culture as estimating that the amount is approximately 100.000.00 bushels, made up mostly of corn and barley.
 This estimate" says the statement, was sought in reference to allegations recently made at a food conservation conference in St. Louis claiming the annual consumption was more than 600. 100000 bushels. The amount va rier with production. In the fiscal year 1916 distilleries used 39,37S.000 bushels, according to a report of the commissioner Of internal revenue who estimated that each busnel yielded 463 gallons of distilled spirits.
 At the present price of grain there is no need for legislation toward re- stricting operations. The last fiscal year closed with 232.402,S7S gallons of spirits in the warehouses and this quantity is ample to take care of the demand until grain becomes more plentiful.
 The grain nov being used by dis tillers is consumed mostly in making alcohol for munitions. The resdue is not wasted because, after being used in the stills. it is fed 10 livestock and the cooking process improves its quality for fattenins purposes"
