OCEAN SAILORS FEAR SUBS
Many Deep-Water Tars Went to Great
Lakes, They Assert, to
Escape Divers.

Ocean sailors went to the Great
Lakes this year in greater numbers
than ever before. The majority of the
applicants sought able seamens pa
pers for work on inland waters. Some
were negroes, some white and some
yellow. Most of them gave as their
reason for leaving the ocean their fear
of submarines.
When John Ojala, native of Fin
land, applied for papers, the examiner
asked Ojala the usual questions, and
then few personal ones. Ojala said
that he had sailed the seas for Is
years, but being twice on vessels sunk
by submarines was enough for him.
He said that he was going back to the
ocean at the close of the lake naviga-
ton season.
On November 20, 1915, Ojala was
sailing on the Mediterranean sea, about
30 miles from Malta, aboard the Eng
lish ship Malinche, bound from
Saloniki to Philadelphia A U-boat
stopped the Malinche and two German
officers, after chasing off the crew,
placed bombs in the boat.
Ojala shipped again aboard the Nor
wegian sailing ship Falls of Alton,
which was sunk about 20 miles off the
coast of England. Seven shots from a
deck gun on the sub sent the Falls
of Alton to the bottom.

NEW HANGER FOR SWEATERS
Special Holder, Made From Embroid-
cry Ring, viii Preserve Shape
of Garments.

Have you ever hung your pet sweat
er away on a coat hanger for a cou-
pie of days2 If you have, you have
probably found 1t stretched most dis
tressIngly when you took 1t down
again. So then, have you hung 1t,
ever so carefully, up on a hookr
Yes? Then, of course, you have
found a most annoying little bump in
the wool where 1t hung.
So then, perhaps, you have decided
TO keep your sweaters in bureau
drawer-and you have caught them on
the edge of the drawer and pulled
thread.
Well, here is suggestion to make
the keeping of your sweaters truly
easy. Have a special sweater holder.
This special holder is no more than
a huge embroidery ring Of the sort
that is used for the handles and tops
of knitting bags. Attach ribbon or
tape to the ring at each end, and by
means of this ribbon hang 1t on hook.
Then pull the sweater through the
ring. Several may be placed on the
same ring without any trouble.
The ring, to be best fitted for Its
work, should be wound with satin rib
bon. The quality need not be ex-
pensive, but the shiny surface of the
satin ribbon makes 1t easier to pull
the sweaters through the ring and
there IS no possibility Of tearing by
splinters from the surface of the wood
when ii is covered in this way.

Bags of Fur, Velvet and Beads.

fective, and color schemes to match
any costume are easily worked out. A
rather long narrow drawstring shape
with bead tassels across the bottom to
match the beading of the brocade is
good-looking for this type Of bag.
Beads are used to relieve fur, too,
and very clever things are done with
this combination. One model in seal
is fiat, rather small. mounted on dull
gold and has butterfly embroidered
in tiny gold beads on it's side.
A muff bag Of fur with turned
back flaps at the ends has each flap
finished by n bead tassel and half
moon of solid beading just below the
mounting on each side of the bag.
There are many fur bags also with
out the beading, the short hair, supple
furs, such as seal and mole, being
especially liked for this purpose, while
the long-haired furs are used for trim
ming bags of velvet, silk and cloth.

Orande Industry.

The interior of any one Of the big
orange packing houses In either Flor
ida or California shows a wonderfully
systematic arrangement for grading
and sizing the fruit. There are q
dozen different sizes Of oranges and
so automatic Is the grading that every
box of oranges comes out with every
orange almost the exact size of its
companions. The result Is oranges
which sell in the far Eastern markets
as low as one cent aplece-from this
to so or 60 cents a dozen. The only
things which must be left to human
judgment is the throwing out of culls
imperfect, too ripe or too green
specimens.
Nowadays In both of the big orange
growing states the orange business is
divided into two distinct and separate
industries-that of orange growing
and that of orange packing and ship
ping. The latter is handled by CO.
operative associations and very few
oranges are packed and shipped direct
by the orange growers themselves.
The same conditions apply to lemons
and grapefruit.
