SPLENDID WORK OF DIVER
Wrecked Steamer Is Given High
Praise by Shipping Men.

One of the most remarkable feats in
the history of American labor, accord
ing to Capt. Louis Turner, represent
ing marine underwriters, was the sub
marine repairing of a steamer sal
vaged off the California coast by a
diver named Theodore Wicks. The
success of this man In his perilous
work made 1t possible to raise the yes
sci for further important service In the
governments var 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 1t was
humping about on the rocks, making 1t
by all odds the biggest job of the kind
ever attempted on the Pacific coast.
The biggest patch was ten feet wide
and Is 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 Wick's exploits, and were
astonished that it 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.

u,. cinnamon OH for Inau.nza.

OIL Of cinnamon has a very favor
able effect on the temperature and
shortens the convalescence period. says
Medical press. Patients who usually
suffer from marked weakness for
several days after an attack of
influenza regain their strength very
rapidly when treated with cinnamon
oil, and are able to take up their oc-
equations on the second or third day.
Twelve drops OF the oil are given In
half a tumblerful Of water. and the dose
Is repeated In one hour, then ten
drops given regularly every two hours
until the temperature has dropped to
normal. When the fever has gone
ten drops should be given three times
a day during the following twenty
four or forty-eight hours. When In
fiuenza is thus treated from the very
outset-that is. within the hrst three
or four hours-the temperature be-
comes normal within twelve hours; IL
the treatment is begun later 1t may
require t~wenty-four or thirty-six hours
to obtain this result.

DESPERATE LEAP FOR LIFE
Parachute the Only Hope Of occu-
pants OF Observation Balloon
Destroyed at the Front.

A British observation balloon, an
cables cut by enemy airplanes, and
the balloon scared thousands of feet
upward into the clouds. A writer In
London Mail, who witnessed the
Incident, describes what followed.
From the point where 1t vanished, he
says, we presently saw one small
speck, then another, dropping from the
clouds. For some hundreds of feet
they fell like dead weights, then para
chutes opened, and the specks, now
revealed as men, were steadied in
their earthward course, floating rap
idly. but safely, to the ground.
After the balloon got free, they had
destroyed their papers and instru-
ments. clambered over the side of the
basket, and leaped for life into the
great void beneath them, trusting that
the parachutes strapped round their
waists would open when they should.
Think of that desperate spring into
the vast, gray vapory n~othingness be-
meath the balloon; the feelings of the
men as they made 1t, uncertain of
what would happen; the awful sensa-
ton of casting yourself blindly from
such an appalling height with the
knowledge that only a fiimsy piece of
material, which might act rightly and
might not, interviewed between your
self and a crash into the earth many
thousands Of feet below; the tense
strain of the stone-like drop through
two hundred feet of the void before
the parachute opened, and then the
anxious mental query, through the
later stages of the descent: "What
shall I light upon?'-a matter Of SUI
preme consequence that chance gov
erns absolutely. In this case, the men
made a safe landing. .ssss8rs

My old alarm clock has gone to

SPIRIT OF FRANCE
Two Small Brothers, Doing All
the Work on Farm.

When the work In your war gar
your aching back and look longingly
toward the inviting shade of the trees
or toward the arm chair on the awning
covered porch; when you mutter to
yourself that Ii will not matter much
whether the weeds do choke the beet
patch-lt may help you to finish your
task IL you call to mind a story told
in "My War Diary" by Mrs. Mary King
Waddington.
In q village near ours, says the III
thor, a girl of thirteen is running the
farm. At the beginning of the war 1t
was a thriving farm with a mar and
his wife, six IONS and one daughter.
Then the blow fell, and all the men
In France were modified; the father
and his two eldest boys went of at
once-four hours after the decree of
mobilization was received In the VII
lage. The farmer had no time to put
his house In order, but left the farm
In the hands of his wife and the two
big boys, aged fifteen and sixteen. The
man and his two eldest sons are now
dead, the two next are In the army,
and the poor mother, a wreck phys
ically and mentally, cries all day. The
girl and the two little boys do the
whole work of the farm. The young
est, who is only ten years old,
cannot accomplish much, but he does
manage to watch the cows and to
carry cans of milk or baskets of but
ter.
/ see the girl simetimes; she Is per-
fectly well, never complains and never
asks for anything-except occasional
ly for a warm petticoat, or a hood to
keep her head and neck warm and dry
when she is working in the fields.
There are hundreds of girls doing that
work all over France.-Youth's Com
panion.

WOLF REAPPEARS IN FRANCE
Bold Because the Attention Of the
Country Has Been Concentrated
on the War.

Now and then, as we walked down
we heard the low kr-krump OF distant
guns which had come to my ears be-
fore dawn, writes William Beebe In
Atlantic Monthly. 1t was a little more
distinct and sometimes double; krum-
kr-krump, but even now a big frog at
the bottom Of the hill would have
been more effective.
But all other thoughts slipped away
as a new sound arose In the darkness,
a sound which held for me a thrill, as
vital as the hint Of distant battle, and
incomparably more alluring. 1t rose
slowly, a rich, mellow, undulation
which stirred every fiber, and then
quavered, descended, and broke of.
We stood motionless, listening with
all our ears, and again II came, I'M
mistakably, from the depths Of the
misty woods.
My companion smiled at me. We
could see In Imagination the dropped
tail, the hollow-cheeked muzzle raised
skyward-a wolf uttering that cry
which Of all sounds is most symbolic
Of the northern wilderness-unhurle-
ment plaintiff ct lugubre. / could not
believe my ears, that here In the heart
Of France. within sound Of the guns
at the front. / had heard the voice Of
a wild wolf. The peasants had report
ed wolves at several places, the cold
and pinch Of hunger driving them from
distant Businesses where their race
was making its last stand. And
now they had become holder, finding
little to oppose them in this depleted
country.
Lacking accurate knowledge, / had
always assumed that In Euorpe, in
these modern times, wolves were re-
stricted to the farthest wilds of Rus
sia and Siberia. To think Of them in
France was In Imagination to repic-
ture medieval times again.
