SPLENDID WORK OF DIVER
Ft.t of Underwater Repairing on

One Of the most remarkable feats in

marine repairing OF steamer sal
yaged or the California coast by n
diver named Theodore Wicks. The
success Of This man in his perilOus
work made 1t possible to raise the yes
gel for further important service In the
governments war program, where ship
ping is SO urgently needed.
There were fully 100 patches OF tenn
porary nature to be put on the shatter-
ed sides Of the vessel while ii was
humping about on the rocks, making It
by all odds the biggest Job Of the kind
ever attempted on the Pacific coast.
The biggest patch was ten feet wide
and 10 feet long. Three layers Of inch
plank. with canvas between, were used
in patching This Kept the water out
while the ship was being pumped.
Large numbers Of shipping men Wis.
tied the dry dock where the ship went
after Diver Wici's exploits, and were
astonished that ii had been possible to
salvage the vessel at all. The divers
work Is viewed all along the coast as
an inspiration to labor in its great task
OF winning the war.

FEW STATE LINES CHANGED
Sentiment Has Proved Too strono.
Even When Good Business Rea.

From time 10 time proposals are
made to change the boundaries OF
states. One is the scheme to transfer
n part of western Florida. extending
Tor 100 miles on the sea coast. to the
STATE or Alabama, and another project
Is to annex the northern neck of Idaho
to the state Of Washington.
In support Of the proposed change
IN each case the chief argument ad-
vanced Is that it would place the re-
glon TO be transferred in the state
with which 1t Is most closely allied in
interests. Most of the business of Pen.
