Message.

This war 10 one Of nations, not Of ar
niles. and all OF our one hundred million
people must be economically and indus
trially adjusted to war conditions, II this
nation 10 to play It's full part in the con-
fiict. The problem before US Is not pri-
marily q financial problem but rather u
problem Of increased production OF war
essentials and the saving of the materials
and the labor necessary for the support
and equipment of our army and navy.
Thoughtless expenditure OF money for
on-essentials uses up the labor OF men.
the products Of the farms. mines and fac
tories and ovsrburdens transportation. all
Of which must be used to the utmost
and at their best for war purposes.
The great results which We seek can
DO obtained only by the participation
of every member OF the nation. young and
old. In a national concerted thrift move
ment. I therefore urge that our people
everywhere pledge themselves as sug-
gestsd by the Secretary of the Treasury
to the practice Of thrift to serve the gov
eminent to their utmost In increasing
production In all fields necessary to the
winning Of the war to conserve food and
fuel and useful materials Of every kind to
devote their labor only to the most nee
essary tasks and TO buy only those things
which are essential to individual health
and eficienoy and that the people AZ
evidence Of their loyalty invest all that
they can save In Liberty Bonds and War
Savings Stamps. The securities issued
by the Treasury Department are so many
Of them within the reach Of everyone
that the door Of opportunity In this mat.
ter II wide open to all Of us. To prac-
tics thrift In peace times In a virtue and
brings great benefit to the individual At
all times, with the desperate need Of the
civilized world today for materials and
labor with which 10 end the war the
practice of individual thrift 10 q patriotic
dusy and q necessity.
ct appeal to all who now own either
Liberty Bonds or War Savings Stamps,
70 continue to practice economy and
thrift and to appeal to all who do not
own government securities to do likewise
and purchase them to the extent Of their
means The man who buys government
securities transfers the purchasing power
Of his money to the United States Gov
eminent until after this war and to that
same degree does not buy In competition
with the government.
'T earnestly appeal TO every man.
woman and child TO pledge themselves
on or before the twenty eighth OF June TO
save constantly and to buy AZ regularly

msnt and to do this a. far az possible

ing ooze, looking for all the world like bit of
wreckage itself. But it had just finished a long
Dout of pumping under water in that hold which
was filled with floating barrels, beams tangled
1ronwork and a sludge that was indescribable;
ana when it had been put the side and had
pumped few tons of clean sea water through
ltselr that pump was ready to start work again
anywhere
Inc secret Of the pump is that it is not water
usnt-which sounds absurd 1t is. however, per-
Iecuy true that the water can flow in and
around the whole of the works of the pump while
IL Is at work. No one has ever hitherto succeed
ed In making electricity work under water in
this way but the of the discovery are plain
even to the layman- ship fitted with these
pumps for example, ought never to sink If she
has enough of them board because thev can
be set to work in the flooded compartments and
pump the water out as fast it comes in Dam
age to the engine rooms does not affect the
pumps because they do rely for their cur-
rent on the ships dynamos, but on their own
portable outfit.
Salvage experts tell rather amusing taIe
of the versatility of the pumps. A fire broke ont
in the hold of ship that carrying a very
valuable fndammable cargo. Two submersible
pumps were board, the captain slung
them over the side into the sea, attached good
length of hose to them and set them going to
pump water at the of about $50 tons an
hour each into the burning hold. They soon put
the fire out, and the captain then lowered the
pumps into the hold and made them pump out
the water they had previously pumped in.

Back of the torpedo is its fsh-shaped body con-

it has been launched. From forward aft we find
compartments follows compressed air res
ervoir an immersion balance chamber, engine
space and a buoyancy chamber. The tiny engine
is driven by compressed air, which is compressed
to high degree. and 1t rotates the propellers
whereby the projectiie is carried through the
water The immersion balance chamber pro-
yides the means of maintaining the depth at which
the torpedo shall travel through the water after
being launched. In the engine chamber there is
also the device for keeping the projectile to its
designated path during its travel. This is
achieved by means of gyroscOpe The buoyancy

Fire at sea, collision, weather and other marine
risks are all dealt with by the admiralty salvage
section just as much as war risks such as min
risks that provide the bulk of the cases. The
work of the section falls really into three parts
There are. first of all, the tugs These
proceed to any ship that is in distress. whatever
the cause, and endeavor to tow her into port.
at least to get her into shallow water, where
she go aground even sink and still be
salvable. In the latter case the second part OF
the sections work begins-the patching up. emp
tying and lifting This may take anything from
six weeks to six months. When she is lifted and
ahoat again she is lowed to the nearest sheltered
anchorage, and there temporary repairs are eff
fected she is cleaned up inside and her engine
room restored to something like order 1t Is
the aim, as far possible, to enable her TO
proceed to a shipyard under her steam.
There are cases, of course. where the torpedo or
the mine has exploded just by the engne-room
and blown everything to fragments. Then the
hull patched up, has to be towed to the repair
ing yard; but the majority of the DAM
age is in the bows in the stern. and the vessel
can limp along by herself after first aid from the
salvage section.
British salvage experts have little hope of
salving any of the ships that down In deep
would make it impossibility to raise. for
ample, the Lusitania. and, far, mechanical
devices that have been suggested made hold
out any hope of doing the work of the diver with
any success.

OF Maternus, an escaped slave who rebelled
against his country, placed himself at the head
of a band of outlaws, planned the capture of
Rome and his own elevation to the throne but
was finally betrayed and killed. 1t was never

sHow Beautifully said Miss Giant
Yod Speak!" Swallowtail.
Now the young
butterfly didn't know at all whether
the older butterfly was the one to be
called ''your honor" or whether any
one should be called by such a title.
But it came to her mind quite sud-
denly and she thought it sounded very
well. She knew after she had said
1t that Mr.. Giant Swallowtail was
highly pleased and flattered.
"Then, of course, you're not expect
ed to know much. and you haven't had
time to think yet of all the interesting
changes you've had in your life. In
teresting is something nice, some
thing folks like to hear about or see.
We're interesting, and TIL talk over
with you all the changes we have
made to become giant swallowtail but
terflies.
'Of course we weren't born giant swal-
1owtails, that is we weren't butterflies,
but it shows how fine butterflies are.
They're never satisfied until they are
as nearly perfect as they can be.
That's when they are butterflies, of
course.
1--WE aren't satisfied at being cater
pillars and at crawling along the trees:
we want to fly and sip honey from
the flowers, to enjoy the sunshine and
to be admired. We like to be part
of the beautiful, beautiful summer
time"
"How beautifully you speak, said
Miss Giant Swallowtail admiringly.
sThanlz you, thank you," said Mr..
Giant Swallowtail, as he shook his
wings a little. 'And it's fine to be
called by such large sounding name
as Giant Giants, you know. are big
ger than people. In olden days folks
used to think they were dreadful. but
nowadays I hear that children say
they're fine and jolly. just as nice and
merry as can be.
''Then to have another fine name
like Swallowtail. A swaIlowtail is a
certain kind of coat which big men
wear when they're going to fine din
ners and big receptions. It's the very
best coat fine gentleman can have.
the very best of all-and that's another
part of our name. Pretty nice, eh?''
Indeed. it's very NICE" said Miss
Giant Swallowtail.
"But I must tell you the changes
we make in order to become butter

about them. but you'll remember them
all one by one.
