BY the evolution of heat.

Or A45 SsIRlT OF HIS RACE
How the Captains Boy, MacItinnon,
Of the cameronia Helped 10
AlIay Panic.

In the report Of the torpedolng OF
the Anchor liner Cameronia with
troops in the Mediterranean last sum
mer, mention was made Of the splen-
did conduct Of the captairfs boy, Mack
lnnon. THIS youngster was on the
bridge with the captain when the ship
was struck, and he did much to allay
the excitement by shouting through
the megaphone to the troops, keep
your heads, men. Dinna get excited.
It's q RIGHT. Nae hurry" and SO on.
The sight OF the small boy with a
nlagaphOne as big as himself advising
the soldiers to keep cool made many
Iangh and qnietpd many nerves. Tho
hoy did many other things. and at the
end the captain found ne had dis
obeyed orders and was still on the
bridge when everyone else had left the
ship. When the captain told him to
clear out" he said, "Tll no 60 till you
go, sir" The captain then caught him
by the coat and slung him overheard
into the destroyer before jumping him
self. An eyewitness on the destroyer
described seeing the captain and the
boy on the bridge Of the sinking ship.
I hear now that Mackinnon went
down in the Tuscania. Probably he
behaved there as he did on the Cam
sronia, and the death he Just missed
IN the Mediterranean came to him or
the Scottish coast. In the list Of heroes
Of our mercantile marine there ought

HeavY Demand for Ruhher.

The world discarded $4,000 tons Of
automobile tires during 1916. Adding
to this the large number of bicycle
tires thrown away every year by their
owners, it appears that the world
spends every year at least $6OO,0OO,-
COO for pneumatic tires alone. Nearly
100000 automobiles are now in use
In the United States. To supply these
with tires nearly $4,000 tons Of India

ONLY MADE MATTERS WORSE
Small Girls Efforts to "Fudge" on Tn.
fortunate Remark Could Not Be
Called Successful.

A number Of women were discussing
Liberty bonds one afternoon in a neigh
boris house. Almost unnoticed little
neighbor girl had entered. AT this
point In the discussion she exclaimed /:
swell, my aunt says she might just
as well buy a Liberty bond as to be
taxed!"
Her remark caused e good bit Of
Romment. One guest, who has a son in
the service, became very indignant,
and exclaimed:
'"The ideal Buying a bond to es-
cape taxationl That's patriotism for
goul That makes me tired-anybody
rs able as she is to buy bonds, or any
thing"
With that last remark the speaker
flew" out Of the house.
The little girl, beholding the strife
and bad feeling she had stirred up,
tried to "fudge" on her remark, ex-
planning that it wasn't her aunt who
made the remark, but some other wom-
IN. The neighbor women held her to
her first remark, and were making It
pretty "w9rm' for the little girl, when
she finally burst out with:
swell, you don't know how much It
costs my aunt to live; and how much
Its costs her to take that trip to Nj
Rgara Falls!"
The laugh with which the women
greeted this innocent remark was suf-
ticient to send the loyal and innocent
girl running from the room. Truly, her
Zines had not fallen in pleasant
places" that afternoon.
