French cruiser which rammed
her in the fog. dozens of cab

their births. Among these
was Mrs. F. P. Harrison, wife

With the baby in her arms
she managed to crawl to the
open deck. The boats left un
injured had been manned and

FOR "AD" FOR PICNIC

The advertising department OF The

terday afternoon that It probably ever
did or ever will receive.
II all came about in this manner: The
manager OF the advertising department
was called 20 the telephone at about
o'clock yesterday afternoon and was
greeted by a wistfh little voice that
asked to put an ad in The Times.
Questioned. the youthful owner Of the
voice said
My name is Willie and want
to put an ad in The Times for
somebody to take me to a picnic"
Unfortunately. in 4 vain endeavor
to report the matter to the editorial
department the manager was dis
connected with "wistful Willie"
>The above conversation gives rise
TO suspicious that Willie's family had
deserted him, and the lure Of a picnic
made him desperate. The manager
OF the advertising department says
that II only he could have held
Willie at the phone he would have
taken the yOungster TO a great old
picnic himself. and that he hopes
Willie will apply for another ad.
