FIREMEN Want TO KNOW IF
FROG drinks salt WATER

Whether or not the elusive frog is
teetotaler or addicted to such strong
drink as salt water, is a problem that
for days has stirred riot Of oratory
among members Of the Fame Fire
Company.
The dispute originated in the an
nouncement by two Of the members
that they we're about to purchase what
they considered the Arcadia of frog
dom. They even went so far as to
picture Wilmington as the center OF
the frog industry Of the world.
The real estate was described as
composed of rushes and trickling
streams, a place where any self-re-
spccting frog might deem it an honor
to develop its tender legs. But, alas.
il is a salt marsh, and even the most
optimistic supporters Of the project
are unable TO swear solemnly that they
ever actually discerned a frog slipping
salt water. Nevertheless, half OF the
company holds stubbornly to the opin-
ion that frogs could be trained TO
thrive on a saline solution, and in this
way they believe a species OF self
seasoning frogs could be produced.
The skeptics scorn this idea.
At night, II is said, sparks actually
flicker from the tongues OF the fire.
fighters. so heated do they become in
the discussion. Dictionaries by the
dozen have been consulted, biological
essays mentally devoured, speeches by
famous frog scientists perused, but all
the firemen have been able TO learn is
that frogs are amphibious creatures,
given to disporting in marshy mead
ows. Whether salt meadows or other
wise is not stipulated. In conse-
quence. an appeal for aid in solving
the problem has been sont to college
professors, and others, having an inti-
mate knowledge on frog subjects.

SAILING SUBMARINE ZONE
viii Get Highest Pay Ever Recorded
For Like Service and War Bonus
Of 100 Per Cent.

New York.-What is said by marine
men to be the topmost price ever paid
for service on an American or any
other merchant vessel, steam or sail,
was recorded with the signing on of a
crew of an American ship that is to
sail through the submarine zone. The
first mate will get $500 month; chief
engineer, $3.50; second mate, 5000;
first assistant engineer, 5000, and so
on down the line to firemen and coal
passers, at $50 to SIS, with mess boys
at $45.
But, in addition, war bonus of 100
per cent is promised-doubling wages
which are to continue until the men
are back at the port of embarkation.
Should the ship meet disaster, the men
are to be transported home, and the
sum of $3.50 for officers, and 500 for
men will be paid to all who lose their
personal effects.

The most important of these reasons
