Saved Shipmate,s Life.

Few reports of heroism made to the
navy department are more remarkable
than that concerning James Marico
ship cook. first class. who will prob
ably receive a gold life-saving medal
in addition to the letter of cOmmenda-
ton sent him by the secretary Of the
navy. In the midst of a terrific gale
Chief Quartermaster Eddker 81. Rob
ertson, U. S. ~, was washed overheard
from the U. S. S. Smith, while at
tempting to clear jam in the steering
gear. Exhausted by the cold and rough
sea, Robertson could no longer help
himself, when Marcio, tying line to
his waist, jumped into the water.
Catching the quartermaster, he chung
to the half drowned man until the two
were hauled aboard. Not only was the
act of Marcios one Of great heroism,
but the test of his courage was shown
IN the chance he took with such q
rough sea. The gale at the time was
one of the worst in years and the ship
was rolling at fifty-five degrees. This
young hero enlisted in the navy In
April, 1914, at Philadelphia.

AND HE NEVER SAW OCTOPI
Writer'S Many Days of Waiting and
SkilfuIly Arranged Lure All Went
for Nothing.

Between the town of Theoule aud
the belvedere of the ESquillon, down
along the waters edge, one never tires
Of exploring the caves. Paths lead
through the pines and around the cliffs.
The artist was attracted to the caves
by the hope of finding vantage points
from which to sketch Grasse and Can
mes and Antilles and the Alps and the
castle on Saint-Honorat. But he soon
came to love the copper rocks, which
pine needles had dyed, and deserted
black and white for cOlOrs. When the
climate got him he was not lOath to

Adams Gibbons writes in Harper's
Magazine The inhabitants tell thrill

TESquillOn and forage right up to the
town. One is warned to be on his
guard against long tentacles reaching
out swiftly and silently. One is told
that slipping might mean more than
ducking. Owners of villas on the
rocks make light of octopus stories.
and, as local boomers are trying To
make TheOule q summer resort, it is
explained that the Octopi never come
near the beach. Even if they did. they
would not be dangerous there. How
could they get a hold on the sand with
some tentacles while others were

A plotting wife encouraged the oc-
tOpuS hunts by taking part in them
and expressing frequently her belief
in the imminent appearance of the oc-
tOpi. She declared that sooner or
later my reward would come. She
threw off the mask on the LIST of May,
when she thought it was time to re-

WIFE AS MANAGER
Something for Which Too Few
Hubbies Give Her Credit.
Sut Really, When You Look at tn :
Matter Closely, the Proper Con-
Quoting of Home Requires
Some Thought.

Many a business man goes home in
the evening, removes his coat, sinks
into an easy chair and breathes a deep
sigh of relief. When asked why his
brow is furrowed he responds that he
has had Il terrible day. Perhaps he
had letters to dictate. He had to con
fer with his associates and he had to
talk to some customers. He spent an
hour or more at lunch and he quit
about five o'clock. He had busy day
and when home Is reached he feels
that he is entitled to some rest and
quiet.
Such man rarely thinks of his wife
as manager, remarks the indianapolis
News. He does not recall that she
may have been up before him. He for
gets that she planned the breakfast
and, in many instances, cooked it as
well. After breakfast is finished there
are dishes to be washed and the kitch-
en- must be put to rights. Perhaps that
is a general cleaning day for the whole
house; and there always is dust to
chase as we'll as dirt to sweep out or
lbhS UP III tHS SlSuhSl.
The beds have to be made and score
of other household duties need atten
ton. If there are children they de-
mand this. that and the other. If there
IS little baby in the house it must be
bathed and put to sleep for its morn
ing nap. Then there is a noon meal
to get, as well as various other little
=
ernoon will be spent in many ways. A
great many women spend it in work.
They order groceries and they order
meat They buy the household sup
plies, and the good housekeeper keeps
an accurate account of her expendi
lures. Toward evening she has to plan
the dinner and when the children come
home she must look after them. Later,
she has the job of putting them to bed.
Meanwhile she has had time, very like
ly, to read a magazine, to knit a little
for some soldier or to play the piano.
She may have found time to 60 shop
ping or to make a few calls. She makes
no particular complaint about the
routine she has gone through because
she does 1t every day.
Thousands of women show more ex
ecutive ability in running their own
homes than their husbands show In
running their business. Yet there are
many husbands who do not give their
wives credit for having any business
sense. Some of them who say that
women belong in the home never real
lie what home is. One of these eX-
ecutive experts would be at a loss in
great many cases if he undertook the
Job of running his own house for
period of "a hours.

TO TEACH CRIPPLES
Bill introduced in Congress to Pro
vide Vocational Training For Grip
piled S;:mmiS>.

Washington, April 16.-One year
and two days after our entry into
the war. Congress has been asked TO
pass a bill providing for the voc&-
tional rehabilitation and return to
civil employment of disabled persons
discharged from our army and navy.
Every other great belligerent long
ago provided for this necessary
thing.
France is returning these men to
45 different occupations. England to
40 and little Belgium to 80.
Germany. always with her eye fix
ed on war, has as far as possible
trained her disabled soldiers and sal
lors to be mechanics and technicians
for the war so as TO release other
whole men.
The American bill puts the work
in charge of the Federal Board for
Vocational Education and gives that
body control over the enlisted dis
abled men.
While he is being taught in tech
meal schools, he draws the compen-
sation he got during his last month
in active service or what he is en-
titled to under the War Risk Insur-
dHce act Ell 10 IlIt SlScICi.
If he has dependents, they are also
continued upon their allowances.
OF course, the big fundamental
thought in the whole plan is to make
the man self-supporting, as he was
before the war
Based upon the Canadian expert
ence, it is estimated that out OF eV-
cry 100000 men we send to
France, 100000 will be returned I'M
fit for service Of these. $4,000 will
not need vocational training. Of
the balance. 10000 will need COM
pletean d 10000 partial vocational
training.
If the war goes on, it is estimated
that on our second year of active
fighting 10000 men will be returned
who need this vocational training
and $4,000 in the third year.

been only poetic imagery. To-
day it may be an accomplished
fact. Prof. Curtin of Canisius

discharge Of the great gun with
which the Germans have been
bombarding Paris was registered
on seismographs in The United
States. AT every conclusion the
needle recorded a dot on the
smoked paper of the cylinder-a
mark quite different from the
autograph of an earthquake.

German. Can it be that the
