not been in his accustomed robust health,
and was an easy prey to the prevailing
epidemic. He left, besides his wife, eight
sons and five daughters. Six sons were
the bearers at his funeral. The simple
service was brief and very subdued be-
cause of the serious illness of the son Fred,
and daughter Vera, who we're unaware OF
the fathers death. The son is improving,

TO CROSS ATLANTIC
Alrpiane Manufacturers Make
Long-Distance Machines.
Tempted by Big Prizes Offered by
Newspapers and Aviation
Clubs.

Paris.--Airpiane manufacturers are
losing no time in developing long-dis-
lance machines for Transatlantic
flights for which tempting prizes have
been offered by various newspapers
and aviation clubs.
The rumors persist in Paris that a
Handley-page machine has already
crossed the ocean, from Newfoundland
to Ireland. but that the flight was
kept secret in order that the Germans
might not know that machine had
been produced which could bomb Ber-
lin. The allies had secret informa-
ton that the enemy felt perfectly Sc
cure about the inability of airplanes
to fly that far into the fatherand and
get back and had practically no anti
aircraft batteries posted to protect his
capital. 1t was realized that once it
became known plane had crossed
the Atlantic the Boche would take the
tip and strengthen his defenses at
Berlin.
Farman has constructed quadru-
pie motor bipiane equipped with TOUR
propellers and driven by engines gen.
Grating more than 1000 horsepower,
which he believes can negotiate the
transatlantic flight. This machine will
have an average speed of no miles
an hour and can carry gasoline and oil
for SO hours. The body of the ma
chine extends the whole length of the
fuselage, from the nose to the tall
piece and the crew can walk up and
down through the passageway. Null
tiple wheels make landings easier
and safer.
Bleriot has also constructed a BIZ
motor machine, with two tractor and
two pusher propellers, which he be-
lieves can fly 1000 miles without
stop. The Bleriot machine is a BIZ
plane, but the lower wings are much
smaller than the upper, along the
lines of the Newport chasse nodel.
The Bleriot plane is expected to main
tain speed Of $50 miles an hour for
"A hours.

KEEPS WATCH ON
SEAMEN'S HEALTH
Uncle Sam viii Take Good Care
of His Merchant
Crews.
SEAMAN'S BOTTLE IS LATEST
Contains Passports to Good Health by
Providing Free Hospital Treat
nent Anywhere--Days of the
Dogs Life Now History.

Observation-Disclosures Sam is getting
more watchful of the health of his
merchant crews as the great American
peace-time fleet continues to grow.
The latest innovation of the United
States shipping board in the "seaman's
bottle" which has now become one OF
the cherished possessions of hundreds
of American seamen.
This little glass bottle, small enough
to be carried in the vest pocket, con-
tains passports to good health-print-
ed forms which, when filed out by a
ships captain, will gain Ambulance for
the holder to any United States ma
rine hospital or relief station of the
public health service in every impor-
tant port in the United States. On d
foreign voyage the application win pro-
vide the seaman with the best medical
care, free of charge, on application to
the United States consular officer.
At present the bottle is being pro-
vided only for men who have been
! trained for sea career by the recruit
ing service of the shipping board, but
in the opinion of Surgeon General
Blue every American seaman should
have one.
1t is in port that the new "seaman's
bottle" which was originated by DR..
Louis w. Croke, medical director of
the shipping board recruiting service,
plays its chief part. A seaman in need
of medical attention has merely to dig
the bottle out of his kit, bring the
printed form to his skipper to be filed
out and then go ashore to the nearest
federal official.

Must Carry Medicines.

But the days when the life of sail
or was dogs life at best are now his
tory. Every vessel flying the Ameri
can flag and engaged on long voyages
is required to carry a chest of medi-
cines suitable for the treatment of
common ailments and Injuries. Fail
ure to comply with this law subjects
the master or owners of the vessel to
q heavy fine.
Scurvy, that scourse of the old days,
has practically disappeared from the
American mercantile marine because
of the liberal supplies of lime or lemon
juice, sugar and vinegar that are now
required to be carried on every ship
on q long voyage and to be given daily
to the crew within ten days after salt
provisions have been chiefly served to
them. In the days of yore salt junk"
was the main item on every foesle bill
of fare. This food, consigned to the
vessel in barrels, was generally slowed
below as ballast and sometimes re-
manned there for long time before
being reduisitioned for the crew. This
diet, with the lack of fresh vegetables,
caused scuryy.
Adequate hospital facilities aboard
ship also are provided. The law re
quires that in addition to the space al
lotted for lodgings, which must be
roomy and well ventilated, all mer-
chant vessels Of the United States,
which ordinarily make voyages of
more than three days duration be-
tween ports and which carry more
than twelve seamen, shall have suit
able hospital compartment with at
least one comfortable bunk for every
twelve seamen aboard.

Free Hospital Care.

The label which bears the imprint of
the boards recruiting service informs
the seafarer that he is entitled to free
hospital care no matter what his sta
ton aboard ship. The term "seamen,"
it says, means not only the men who
are employed on deck but persons EN-
ployed on board in the care, preServa-
ton or navigation of the ship, and it
even includes those who are in the
service, ON board, of those engaged in
such care, preservation or navigation.
When discharged by the medical au-
thorities the American seaman is
given free passage to the port from
which he originally signed, unless the
articles provide for discharge else
where, or if in a foreign port to some
port in the United States. He must
serve on board the ship on which his
passage has been arranged if possible
The "seaman's bottle" not only will
impress upon Americans who are going
to sea the privileges to which they are
entitled as seamen of the United
States but will preserve the certificate
and keep it clean.
Years ago, in the days of the clipper
ship, and even since that time, the sick
or disabled American sailor at sea or
in foreign port had no resource but
the charity of his captain or ship
mates. Old-time shippers generally
prescribed and supplied blue pill and
the crews were not burdened with
funds to lend.
narrowing tales have been told of
those dark days of the merchant ma
rine, of men forced to lie for weeks
in cramped, foul-smelling forecastles,
often beset by rats and without proper
food, light, air or clothing.
If the man lived until the ship
reached port some sort of care might
be provided for him, but hundreds
died, were buried at sea; their toys
were sold and they were soon forgot
