SET WITSTO WORK
Woman Proved Herself Heroine

With Husband Disabled by 1rokeI
Leg She Employed Unique Signal
to Bring Help That Might

The following would be almost I'M
believable If the facts we're not the
talk of the community and II it were
not substantiated by the various par
Elephants. In Penobscot bay, three
miles from Islesboro, is a little island
known as Mark island. owned by Pres
ton Player. a State street broker of
Boston. and he there maintains a bic
summer place. The keeper is Ralph
Collamore of LincolnviIle, who in the
winter, with his wife and two children,
makes his home on the island In lit
tie cottage.
On Wednesday, January %. he took
the boat and started for Islesboro.
Three hours were taken in making
the trip of three miles by water. He
came back and upon landing and pull
ing the boat up onto the shore on
Mark island he pulled the boat over
onto him, pinning him down and break
ing his leg. His wife kept looking for
her husbands return and finally, at
tracted by his groans, found him
pinned under the boat She is a frail
woman but with him hanging onto his
injured limb, she managed to drag him
up to the cottage. There with the aid
of a leather wallet and sticks she set
the leg the best she could. There they
were practically isolated and help was
needed badly.
Mrs. Collamore, full of pluck and de-
termination to get help, went to the
Player summer home. There she man.
aged to set agoing the electric dyna-
mo by which the place is lighted. She
turned on every light in that big house
and put on also a red light. The
lights were run all day Thursday and
not until 5:45 Thursday afternoon
was the light noticed at Dark Harbor.
Telephone calls were sent to the naval
station and the tug Zizania started to
Dark Harbor to see what was the
trouble. Dark Harbor was reached
about $3.50 Thursday night. There no
one knew what was the trouble at
Marx island. The Zizania cut her way
through the ice, in some places and
10 inches thick, for three miles to the
island. Captain Sherman and nine
men went ashore. They made their
way to the lighted house and there
found no one. Cropping along in the
darkness they were frightened by the
sudden uprising of flock Of turkeys
from tree. Then they came upon
the cottage in total darkness with the
door open but no signs of life about.
Going in they found the courageous
little woman asleep, the injured man
half asleep and both children slumber-
ing. The tug went back to Dark Har-
Dor and there found a doctor who was
brought back to Mark island. The
Zizania remained at Mark island un-

WILL TRY TO
BEAT OLD TOTALS,

Active efforts are now being made
in the anthracite region preparatory
to launching the campaign for the
Fourth Liberty Loan. Already pro-
ducing companies are preparing lit
erature and organizing a speaking
force of "Four-minute men" to bring
to the attention of each mine-worker
the why's and wherefores," practical
and patriotic reasons why their in
>vestment in the bonds should make
the new loan go over the top at figures
better than former totals. The mine
workers subscribed over $S,000,000 to
the Third Liberty Loan.
Every mine-worker will be told he
is a soldier In the second line of as
sault against the enemy and that ev-
cry bond purchased means supporting
soldier one month with services
that may mean the killing of 30 Huns.
This patriotic effort, together with
mining of coal, really means that the
mine-worker is doing a double parti-
otto duty.
The anthracite industry will see TO
1t that intensive patriotic work VIII
aid the loan Every colliery will be
placarded with posters in many Ian
guages. Short appeal to the love of
their adopted land will be made to
all mine-workers not born under the
Stars and Stripes. All nationalities
will be asked to cooperate in working
for the Loan by word, while at work
and by action, when off duty.
The banks in the anthracite region
show splendid deposit accounts in
mine-worker's names. All bank de-
posits have greatly increased during
the past six months, despite other
Liberty Loans and war demands.
Throughout the region, miners depos-
it's have steadily increased. Some are
larger than others.
With this fact, as evidence, II is be-
lieved that with the expected increase
in the mine-worker's wages, the
Fourth Liberty Loan receipts will
correspondingly show an increase
over former loan figures.

AT THE COLONIAL TosIGHr

Charming Billie Burke in a pleas
ing perturbation OF the stage play
Ewes Daughter" will be the enjoy
able attraction at the Colonial this
evening.
Irene Simpson-B Bates, chatting at the
restraint imposed on her by her
wealthy and disagreeable old father,
she breaks all bonds at his death.
Having expected at least a quarter
million she is rather disappointed TO
learn that mere fifteen thousand is
to fall her lot, but determines to make
the very best of her heritage. Rent
Ing an expensive apartment and buy
ing innumerable expensive gowns
leads her naturally along the road TO
expensive acquaintances, not the least
expensive OF whom is Victoria Man
ming, who borrows money extensively,
as habit Another new friend is
Courtney Urquhart, with whom, after
brief courtship, she consents to run
away, scarcely realizing what she
does and dazed by unaccustomed
champagne. Her fathers lawyer.
young John Norton, who had long
been a devoted sutton, learns OF this
and follows the clipping couple on> a
special train, reaching their destina-
ton ahead of time. How he with the
help of the shallow, but kind hearted
Victoria Manning, manages to rescue
Irene just in time, makes a thr. ling
story There are many humorous
touches as is inevitable in a play in
which this clever little comedienne
appears, such as the Second Marriage
of her Mother, who almost literally
buys herself husband thirty years
her junior. Billie Burke as Irene is a
decidedly head-strong young person
and her semi-quarrels with her old
friend John Norton are amusing in
their naive sincerity. Billie Burke
has injected many of her well known
"Burkeisms" and not a few new ones
which add decidedly to the effective
ness of her work. Billie Burke is
truly at her best in this splendid fea-
ture. Pathe News also. Tomorrow

NURSES NEEDED :
FOR WORK OVERSEAS
Urgent Demand For Trained Nurses
In France. Call For Operating
Room Nurses Desperate


so urgent is the need for trained
nurses in France. that nurses aids,
just two weeks overseas. have been
given the management of entire
wards, in French hospitals, to release
the ward nurses for use in the operat-
ing rooms"
This statment was made today by
Mrs. NJ Barnett McComb, one of the
first women sent to France by the
American Red Cross in the capacity
of nurses aid. She was in England
when the war broke out, and immedi-
ately offered her services. Mrs. Nc
Comb is the wife of Lieutenant Nc
Comb of the U. S. Navy. and has just
arrived in this country after spend
ing year, as nurses aid, in va
rious hospitals in France. Her home
is in Philadelphia.
THE need Cor American nurses.
especially in the operating rooms, is
desperate said Mrs. McComb. land
those already in France are working
far beyond their strength. While
there is work to do they will not stop.
They cannot go on forever, and 1t is
obvious that unless nurses are sup
piled to take their places, and give
them a chance to get back their
strength. they will go to pieces"
She told of one aid, loaned by the
Rockefeller Institute who, after being
but two weeks in France, was given
complete charge of French ward,
containing A beds with nineteen pa
tients coring out of ether, at one
time. The other nurses were being
used in the operating rooms. She
had only the assistance of one or
Derby, an old wounded French soldier.
whom she herself discovered and put
to work
I'm Brest, seaport town of France,
a retired French Naval officer, Admi-
raj Barthe, has himself established a
Base Hospital The five hundred beds,
always occupied, are cared for by his
daughter, Alene Barthe, an older wo-
man and one operating nurse. The
hospital is in an old monastery that
boasts hundreds of years of history,
but scarcely single sanitary conve-
nience. 1t frequently takes two days
for the three women to make the
rounds and change the dressings.
Much of the treatment OF their so,iier
patients is what is called healing
by first intention, wounds that show
signs of healing are permitted to heal,
shrapnel and all, trusting to nature
for the rest.
1T is heart-breaking," Mrs. Nc
Comb said, ito see the utterly mad
eQuate supply of nurses, on one side
straining every nerve and sinew, and,
on the other, the long, long lines of
wounded, suffering soldiers, moving
inch by inch toward the operating
room, and the temporary peace of
etehr They lie in the corridors, some
of them as many as thirty-six hours
at time, waiting to be operated on,
and they are so brave. The nurses,
too, are every bit as good soldiers,
and do not stop until they drop"

TURNS DOWN FACTORY
TO TURN OVER SOIL
Massachusetts Club Boy Prefers
Farming and School to Work
in a Factory

Four years ago a garden-club boy
in Massachusetts, faced what would
have seemed even to an adult hard
problem. Born in Italy, but thor
oughly inoculated with American
ideas of the necessity of education,
James was told by his father while
in the eighth grade hiatt no longer
could he be kept in school. His fr-
ture path was to lie toward the near
by factory.
Believing. because of his garden
club experience under the auspices of
the local leader for the United States
Department of Agriculture, that he
could earn as much by potato rails
ing outside of school hours as he
could in a factory by devoting lis
whole time, he finally obtained per-
mission from his father to try it. So
successful was he that summer that
his father was willing he should. en-
ter the ninth grade in the fall.
The next spring the superiltend-
ent let him have land to use for a
large garden To ten boys he had
selected from the upper grammar
grades he made the proposition to
pay so much an hour and TO give each
garden plot. The following excel
lent advice he offered to them in adj
dition: IF you are going to quit,
quit now while it is cool and not when
it is, hot next August"
By fall he had decided that enough
could be earned in the summers. to
enable him to attend high schol and
the agricultural college later. Now
junior in high school he has good
sized dollhouse under lease. where ne
raises cabbage, cauliflower and tomato
plants; he owns an auto truck TO han
die his produce, has a bank account,
and pays his bills by check, and owns
at least one Government bond
With all the school and business
cares, he still has time to look after
the school welfare Of his younger
brothers and sisters. visiting their
teachers and watching their progress.
A factory hand. probably only
mediocre one has been lost, but a
good food producer has been gained
through the vision given James by
his boys agricultural club leader.

SNOWSLIDES OCCUR
ON COAST END OF ROAD

Several snowslides have occurred
along the line of the government
railroad between Anchorage and
Seward this winter, according to
advices received from Anchorage
Two slides covered the rails near
Mile "a. One of these slides brought
down a large quantity of snow.
This larger slide was 25 feet deep
and 800 feet long.
Another heavy slide took place
near Mile II. 1t measured 80 feet
deep and $50 feet long. A compare
lively small slide occurred at Mile
761a.
Four slides occurred opposite the
trestle at Mile 49, One of these
was the largest since the beginning
in 1915 of construction work on
the Anchorage-Seward line. 1t COW
cred the ground along the trestle
for distance of 800 feet, but did
not damage the trestle.
