U-B0AT CRIMES
 TOLD BY FROST

The following story of the sinking of the Lusitania as given by U. s. Consul Frost is one of the most vivid accounts of submarine ruthlessncss ever told. This is but one instance and you can form your own opinions. Tens of thousands of men, women and children have suffered death in a like revolting manner There is the La conia, the California, Hesperion, Mon tala, Arabic and many more, but here is the Lusitania story:
 You remember that the Lusitania was over an eighth of a mile long, was worth $I2,OOO,OOO, and carried 2OOO souls. May T, 1915, found the wonderful South Irish literal smiling in the sunshine, with the sea like a mirror A goodIy company of Amer ica's great men and finest women were. looking with pleasure from the deck of the devoted vessel at the enchant- ed emerald green of old Kinsale. When, suddenly, at minutes past 2 o'clock, swift topedo came leaping through the surface from landward, and with its exploding detonation that splendid scene was converted into the. most appalling catastrophe the hut man race has ever experienced.
 Confident in her floating capacity the ships officers forbade the man ming of the lifeboats; and when the huge vessel foundered, IS minutes later 1900 persons were thrust head long into eternity. Eight hundred men, 300 women and 100 children per ished by this abysmal crime and 33 of the children were infants in arms Out of l9O Americans only 66 lived to tread Gods earth again, and our. death roll included Ebert Hubbard Charles Frohman. Charles Klein. Her bert Stone, Lindon Bates, Captain James B. Miller, and perhaps great est of alp, Dr. J. S. Person, the ere. ator of modern Spain, as fine a type of the constructive idealism as om American business world has ever pro duced.
 To the credit of our race be it sad there was never a trace Of panic in. that awful event. But there was. confusion of the most heart-rending kind-husbands beholding their wives. crushed and flung hwtling like debris, white-haircd women dying in pathetic, silent self-conuol, and children drown ing in speechlcss terror while looking into the eyes of their powerlcss moth CTS. A survivor told me of standing  high on the vessels stern, as the bow was disappearing, and gazing down 60 feet or more upon the impotcnt human creatures whfling madly like flies be- heath the surface and upon it. And at the instant when the ocean closed at last upon the ship a curious, mi nor-keyed sound of terror sprang along the waters, as if the sea itself, they said, were moaning in agony!
 Ebert Hubbard clung to a cylin- drical steel drum broken out from a life raft; and as often as he was able to climb on to it, it rolled and top pied him off on the far side, until our veteran philosopher presently gave. way to shock and exposure. The icy fingers of that sea, indeed, were able to search with paralyzing sureness in- to the hearts chambers of even the strongest men. One lifeboat, rowing about, observed a mysterious flash on

WHALER's GLORY HAS GONE
Industry Which Was Once the Great
est In America Has Been Deelln-
Ing for Fifty Years.

At the outbreak Of the American
Revolution and for a period of 75
years following, whaling was the most
important branch of American fisher
les. From 500 to 700 vessels sought
whales in all the oceans and seas of
the world, and in one year New Bed
ford alone sent out 800 vessels whose
cargoes Of bone and oil were the
basis of the Industrial life Of the city.
The pursuit of sperm whales reached
Its climax in 1887, when oil valued at
nearly $4.50O.OOO was brought in,
mostly from the south Pacific, says the
National Geographic Magazine. The
height of the industry was in 1916,
when 10000 persons derived their sup
port from whales, and 720 vessels,
valued at $21 ,O00, 900, were engaged.
For more than 80 years the fishery
has been declining, and in numerous
ports that once derived most of their
wealth from the industry there have
for long time existed only memories
Of former greatness. The present i'm
portance Of the whale fishery amounts
to less than per cent Of the American
fisheries.

The BUDGET systenn.

The budget system is not system or
form Of government, but a mode Of pro-
cedure in certain matters. Primarily
a budget Is q bag or sack with its con-
tents, which may be anything from gar
den truck or cooked food to ohicial
documents. In England, where the
word acquired its political or govern
ment term, 1t means the annual flnan-
cial statement or the facts and figures
which the chancellor Of the exchequer
makes in the house Of commons, sitting
as a committee Of ways and means.
The term has never been much used In
this country, but 1t Is sometimes ap-
piled to the estimate Of government
receipts and expenditures submitted
In the annual report Of the secretary
of the treasury as basis for approprl-
ations to be made by the congress.
Briefly, the budget system or q ma
tional budget may be defined as the
financial statement Of the government
for the next fiscal year, showing In
detail the services and expected
amount Of revenue, and an itemized
estimate Of expenditures in the differ
ent departments Of government to be
covered by appropriations not to be
overrun.

Apple-Sauce Pie.

Make q sauce Of six or eight sour
apples. Sweeten to taste, when cooked
and well mashed, or put through a
sieve. The sauce should be very stiff.
Add also a piece of butter the size of
an egg. When cool, pour into a deep
pie plate, lined with plain pie crust
which has already been baked. Whip
one cupful heavy cream until stiff,
sweeten and flavor with vanilla. Ar.
range this over the pie and serve.
II preferred, meringue may be
substituted for the cream. This may
be arranged upon a plate the size of
the pie, Drowned in the oven and then
slipped carefully of upon the pie, OF
the meringue may be put upon the pie
ut once and the whole set into the
oven; in this case 1t should be cooked
before serving.

CLOTHES MAKE A DIFFERENCE
Have Nothing to Do With Real Worth,
Of Course, but People Are Often
Judged by Appearances.

Clothes do make difference. They
shouldn't, Of course, for real worth has
nothing to do with clothes; but we
who meet folk casually must Judge,
very often, by appearance, says Mar
garet r. Sangster, Jr., in the Christian
Herald. A girl with blouse on that
is fastened by a safety pin instead Of
button Is very often labeled sloppy"
In our minds, although her character
may be beautiful. A man with a
weeks mud on his shoes Is not very
likely to be given a responsible posi-
tiOn, because it is quite logical to ng-
ure out that a man who neglects his
shoes will neglect his work, too. Per-
haps the man, despite his shoes, Is a
very conscientious worker; but how
can the casual observer know? Many
perfect hOusekeepers may wear flannel
wrappers to the breakfast table, but
though their homes may be immacu-
late and their children wonderfully
brought up, If I were a man choosing
the woman to trust with my home and
children, I'd be inclined to search for
the woman who looked fresh and crisp
and dainty and smiling as she poured
my morning coffee.
"Clothes do not make q man." So
runs the old adage. But, adds q mod.

HAS MEMENTo OF LAFAYETTE
Spokane Woman Possesses Pitcher
Made Nearly Century Ago When
French Visited This Country.

A mementO of the second visit of
Lafayette to America after the close
Of the Revolutionary war is the pos
session of Mrs. Alfred T. Anderson,
wife Of County Auditor Anderson of
Spokane, and a descendant of a CO.
lonial< family in whose home General
Washington was guest many times
during the war, according to the Spo-
kane Chronicle.
1t Is blue and white water pitch
er, bearing a picture of Lafayette and
decorated with American eagles and
other patriotic emblems.
During the revolution, General
Washington and his staff were enter
tained ut the home of Mrs. Anderson's
great-grandfather near Trenton, N. J.,
several times" said Mr.. AndersOn.
ION one Of these occasions 1t is relat-
ed that the general was presented with
two pigs, which he placed In one of
his wagons and took to camp.
''The visit of Lafayette to America,
Of which the pitcher is a relic, was
made in 1924, on invitation of Presi-
dent Monroe, when the French mar
shal laid the cornerstone Of the Bun
ker Hill monument. He had paid an
earlier visit to America In 1884.
Between his two visits he had par
ticipated In the French revolution, had
been made commander Of the National
Guard and had been made a prisoner
by Austria when he fed the country.
Napoleon had secured his release In
1798 and wanted to make him a peer
Of France, but this he refused and &C.
cepted instead a seat in the chamber
Of deputies.
1T was as hero Of two continents
that he was hailed upon his second
visit to America, and Mrs. Anderson
prizes very highly the quaint blue
pitcher which has come down to her
from that time"
