Trip Looked Upon
AS Greatest Exploit

In the morning l went around
and called at the Foreign Office,
which is established in a handsome
building that belonged to one Of the
municipal administrations. The
Minister for Foreign Affairs took
me into his Office and summoned all
hands to hear any news l could give
them of their families and friends.
l also took notes Of names and ad-
dresses of people in Brussels who
were TO be told that their own peo-
pie in Antwerp were safe and well.
| had been doing that steadily from
the minute we set foot in the hotel
the night before, and when ] got
back here, l had my pockets bullying
with innocent messages. Now
comes the merry task Of getting
them around.
At the hotel we were besieged
with invitations TO lunch and dine
with all our friends. They were
not only glad TO see somebody from
the outside world, but could not get
over the sporting side Of our trip,
and patted US on the back until they
made us uncomfortable. Every
body in Antwerp looked upon the
trip as a great exploit, and exuded
admiration. fully expected to get
a Carnegie medal before got away.
And it sounded so. funny coming
from a lot Of Belgian officers who
had for the last few weeks been
going through the most narrowing
experience, with their lives in dan
ger every minute, and even now
with a perfectly good chance Of
being killed before the war is over.
They seem TO take that as a matter
of course, but look upon our per-
Torrance as in some way different
and superior. People are funny
things.

Tried to Kill
King and Queen

We learned that the Zeppelin had
smiled over the town not more than
FIVE hundred feet above US; the
motor was stopped some little dis
lance away and she slid along in
perfect silence and with her lights
out. 1t would be a comfort to say
inst what one thinks about the
whole business. The pterT Of ma
chine guns that we heard after the
explosion of the last bomb was the
starting Of the motor, which carried
our visitor out Of range OF the guns
which were trundled out to attack
her.
Preparations were being made 70

receive such a visit, but they had
not been completed; had she come
a day or two later she would have
met warm reception. The line Of
march was straight across the town,
on a line from the General staff, the
Palace where the Queen was staying
with the royal children, the military
hospital of Ste. Elisabeth, filed with
wounded, the Bourse and some
other buildings. II looks very
much as though the idea had been
to drop one Of the bombs on the
Palace. The Palace itself was
missed by narrow margin, but
large pieces Of the bomb were
picked up on the roof and shown
me later in the day by Inglebleek,
the Kings secretary. The room at
the General staff where | had been
until half an hour before the ex-
plosion was a pretty ruin, and it
was just as well for US that we left
when we did. Il was a fine, big
room, with a glass dome skylight
over the big round table where we
were sitting. This came in with a
crash and was in powder all over
the place. Next time | sit under a
glass skylight in Antwerp l shall
have a guard outside with an eye
out for Zeppelins
If the idea of this charming per
Torrance was to inspire terror, it
was a complete failure The people
Of the town, far from yielding to
fear, are devoting all their energies
to anger. They are furious az the
idea Of killing their King and Queen.
There is no telling when the per-
Torrance will be repeated, but there
is chance that next time the bal
loon man will get warmer recep-
ton.

LADY SECRETARY
FOR STATE FAIR
BOARD OF DIRECTORS REFLECTS
MISS MABEL STiRE SECRE-
TARY-MANAGER.
ONLY LADY MANAGER KNOWN
Talented Young Lady Has So Success
fully Managed Affairs of State
Fair That No Other Name
Was Considered.

Jackson-Mississipp still enjoys the
distinction of having the only woman
secretary-manager of a state fair in
the United States.
At the meeting of the new board OF
directors Miss Mabel Stre was re
elected secretary, and will be in charge
of details for the big event to take
place in October.
Miss Stire has proven her efficiency
so conclusively, and has shown execu
tive ability of such high order, that
the directors deemed 1t unwise to make
any change, especially in view of the
fact that all members of the board as
new men, and Miss Stire's experience
will be a most valuable asset.
The state fair in 1915 and again IN
1916 was staged by Miss Stire insofar
as details were concerned, and she has
shown rare executive ability in the po
ition she occupies.
The new board of directors was or.
ganized by the election Of DR.. r. s.
Curry as president, Mr.. A. E. Bate as
vice president, and Faydrant Adams as
treasurer.
A considerable volume of business
pertaining to plans for the 1917 state
fair was disposed of, and the new
members have settled down to their
important task with much energy and
enthusiasm.

He says that few drops Of drug
called freezone, applied directly upon
a tender, aching corn, instantly re-
lieves soreness, and soon the entire
corn, root and all, lifts right out.
This drug dries at once and simply
shrivels up the corn or callus without
even irritating the surrounding skin.
A small bottle of freezone obtained
at any drug store will cost very little
but will positively remove every hard
