Spiral Socks

"Spral socks" are the latest COM
for for the soldiers. Their chief
advantage is that they are knitted
without any heel. The "spirals" are
somewhat shapeless, but soft and
clinging and have been enthusiastical-
ly praised by the men. They are
said to outwear three pairs of socks
knitted in the other style. The sock
is the invention of Australian women
and has been introduced to Washing
ton by the local branch of the Brit
ish American War Relief Fund Of
which Miss Helen Ernst is chairman.
Many prominent women are now
learning to make the spirals. Miss
Charlotte Campbell of the Washing
ton, D. c., committee has become so
proficient that she can knit two socks
at once and is acting as instructor
for other enthusiasts The Red Cross
is preparing to issue instructions for
knitting the new style socks.

ACT NOW.

There are no two words so discour-
aging or so disheartening as these
TOO LATE. A country at war
has no use for them. We may raise
a great army with magnificent equip
ment but disaster confronts US if
we do it TOO LATE. We may in
tend buying Liberty Bonds, Thrift
Stamps, donating to the Red Cross,
or doing other much needed war
work, but of what use will it all be,
if we act TOO LATE. Now that the
greatest battle the world has ever
known is being waged, let us all go
beyond our good intentions. Let our
backing and support 60 forward
NOW when it is most needed. Buy

we have ever bought. The boys "ov-

chools And The Liberty
Loan

Atlanta, Ca, April 1.-The chill
dren of America are rising to the de-
Tense Of their country with all the
patriotism that has inspired their
forefathers from the davs Of the
Revolution. The Third Liberty Loan
campaign, which begins on April g.,
will owe much of it's success to the
children.
Throughout the Sixth Federal Re-
serve District, for the past two
months, the schools Of the dictrict
have been devoting an hour week
from lessons to tell the children ex-
actly what the Liberty Loan means,
both to the country and to them
selves. With the hearty cooperation
of state and county superintendents
Of public instruction, this work has
been started throughout the district
at the request If St. Elmo Massen-
gale, Director of Publicity.
The teachers have received special
literature relative to the loan as it
affects the youth of the land, and
they have been passing this informa-
ton on to their pupils with admirable
results. If the adults of the COM
munity were to fall down on their
job, it is certainty that the children
would complete the assignment.
A great stimulation to the chill
dren's interest has been found in
national prize which has been of
fered to students in the public schools
for the best essay on the subject of
the Liberty Loan. The National
Committee of Patriotic Societies has
offered $50 Liberty Bond for the
best essay submitted; and thousands
of children throughout the United
States are now at work on this es-
say. i = rs g :
In addition to the national prize,
many local committees are supple
menting it with local contest, with
variety of prizes available. In this
way, the child who is attempting to
win one prize hecom es eligible for
both the national and local prizes.
All children who wish to compete
for the national contest may hand
their essays to the local committee,
who will in turn forward them to the
proper authorities at headquarters.

A Real Show Coming

The celebrated w. l. Swain Show,
that has justly earned the sobriquet
of "The Barnum of Them All" is bill
ed to appear in Morgan City for one
solid week commencing Sunday night
April Z. The fame of the Swain
Shows is international. It is the on
ly tented organization in America
that produces dramas, musical and
farce comedies, historical and So
ciety plays on the same scale of mag
nificence that characterizes the high
priced city theatres. No expense is
spared in creating the proper effects.
Special and appropriate scenery is
carried for each and every produc-
tion that is advertised. An intricate
lighting system permits of the prop
er Light effect" to be given each
scene. A first-class orchestra fur
nishes appropriate music incidental
to the action of each play presented
as we'll as classic and popular over
lures between acts. Thousands of
music-lovers congregate each night at
the front of the big tent to hear the
nightly free band concerts given by
the Swain Band for half an hour be-
ore the doors open for the sale of
tickets

er there" are fighting with re-
doubled energies, making almost
superhuman sacrifices in their effort
to stern the awful march of death and
destruction that is bearing down up
on the Allies by the unprincipled
subjects of a degenerate ruler.
THEY need every penny that Amer
lea can give to sustain them and re-
plenish their necessities. Think of all
this, as we at home and in compara-
tive comfort. enjoy our normal liv-
ing, with the exception of answering
a few calls of charity, work and e.
economy. That is all the war amounts
to, to some of US. Others have done
more-they have given their sons,
husbands, brothers, sweethearts-
they need no urging, they give and
work because they understand the
need. YOU who have not yet made
the SUPREME sacrifice, give gener-
ously, gladfully, thankfully, that on
ly money or time is asked of you.
Buy stamps and more stamps. Give
to the Red Cross, work with the Rec
Cross. Do your bit, it is little
enough.-S. P. Vetter, Press. Rep.

SHIP TAKING Y. M. G.. A. WORKERS
TO FRANCE SUNK BY SUBMARINE
Fifty-seven Survivors Arrive
in London - Vessel At
tackled While Conveyed by
Destroyers.

London, April 29.-A party of 81
Am erican army Y. M. G. A workers
under Arthur e. Hungerford arrived
in London last night. The ship on
which they sailed was torpedoed yes
terday morning and sank in II min
minutes. All passengers and all but
three of the crew were saved.
One of the ships officers told the
Associated Press that tlle Americans
had conducted themselves in admir-
able manner. They were better able
to do this because they had spent
most Of their time aboard the ships
in military drills and in daily and
nightly life boat drills. Every man
knew his station and duties. War
ships were sent to the rescue and all
the lifeboats were picked up within
half an hour.
The vessel was struck amidships
while proceeding in large convoy
under the protection of a number of
destroyers. It was proceeding at
about 10 knots in bright moonlight
when struck. There was a heavy list
and three minutes later the boilers
blew up, extinguishing the ligh IS
throughout the ship.
The passengers, after being landed,
were taken care of by the American
Y. M. G. A. and American Red Cross
here.
Two of the members of the crew
who lost their lives were caught be-
low and went down with the ship.
The third man was the ships baker
who, after reaching his lifeboat sta
ton, went back for his money belt.
The discipline on board the ship
was excellent. Although the time
was brief, all the boats were launched
successfully. Most of the Americans
had little clothing and no baggage.
Several lost their passports and all
their money.
The submarine was not seen at the
time the vessel was torpedoed but
several of the survivors told a story
OF periscope appearing for mo-
1uent in the midst Of the lift boats.
'It was said the periscope was
seen from nearby torpedo boat de-
s1royers which, however, did not
dare fire for fear of hitting the life
boats" said the Rev. Charles Wick
cry, of Salina, Kas. eff the periscope
did appear it was only for a brief
moment. While the lifeboats were
being picked up one American and
one British destroyer circled the spot
dropping several depth charges
