HERMIT SCULPTOR is FOUND
Spends Time Modelling Little Master
pieces Which He Promptly De-
stroys Upon Completion.

There has been discovered at Cape
Scott. one of the most solitary points
In Vancouver island, by the chief en-
gineer of the public works department
of British Columbia, sculptor who
spends his time in modelling little mas-
terpleces from Jumps Of clay and then
destroying them, relates an exchange.
He is A. +. Whittier. and he calls
himself ''prospector." Living entire
ly alone. he has for the past two years
been carrying out lonely Investigations
of mineral claims In his neighbOrhood.
His sculptor's tools are of the simplest
kind, and II Is his habit to work with
the same piece of clay. which weighs
scarcely five pounds, but with that he
has modelled scores of objects.
The government engineer found him
Just as he had completed hust OF the
martyred British nurse, Edith Cavell.
Mr.. Whittier was about to destroy the
work In order that he might use the
clay for miniature statue of his son,
who was recently killed. He was, how
ever, persuaded TO part with the bust,
which is TO be auctioned In aid of the
Red Cross funds.

Since April / German submarines
have been equipped with four new de-
vices which increase their destructive
ness, and render II more difficult for
chasers to discover their whereabouts
Formerly the U-boats, to remain in one
spot, had TO come to the surface. or
anchor themselves to the bottom; hut
four small'pumps are now used which
enable them TO remain stationary while
submerged This not only cOnserves
fuel. but prevents its enemies from
hearing the throb of the submarines

further assistance TO the submarine in
concealing its position. A mixture Of
oxygen and strained gas is now used
In the engines. and the exhaust is
washed free of smoke and broken into
small bubbles, which do not leave a
wake. Finally, new listening devices

East Lansing, Mlch.-The season of
the year is at hand when potatoes
win be stored In quantity for consump-

more people will buy potatoes In quan-

very high prices which prevailed last

TO lay In u supply this fall when the
prices are sure to be much lower than
they were most of last year.
There is large crop of potatoes in

In storing potatoes in small quaint

they should not be allowed TO freeze.
nor should the temperature be so high

Potatoes should always be kept from

them to turn green and become more
or less unsuitable for table use. The
ideal conditions for storage are those
under which temperature of from

Under such conditions potatoes will
