afterwards attached to the Agamem-
non, from which he was transferred
to the Princess Matoika, later being
promoted to executive officer Of the
U. S. S. Sol Navis, on which he will
report for duty at Philadelphia, on
May 18th.
Lieut.. Herndon, like most soldiers,
is rather reticent about his war ex-
periences, but the CLINT of eye and
firm set mouth tell an unspoken tale
of duty performed and risk of life.
The sending out of the S. o. S. when
| the submarine pokes her nose above
the surface and sends torpedo into
one of your ships, the straining watch
| to train the gun at the first indica-
ton of it's presence, the thought that
thousands of lives depend upon quick
| thought and action-these are things
that try the nerves and distinguish
bravery from cowardice.
That Lieut.. Herndon was held up
in New York, on one trip, until the
submarines could he cleared, - and
France, shows how persistently they
chung to the trail of the troop ship.
Off from the Azores Islands sub
emerged so close that biscuit could
have been thrown aboard from his
own ship to the deck of this shark of
the seas. The sub Immediately sub
merged ON being sighted, but only
the speed of the troop ship saved IT..
On another occasion the steamship
Pastores passed the British ship
Briarleaf as it was sending out the
S. o. S., with submarine but 500
yards ahead The Lusia was sunk
about this time. Troop ships can
not stop to lend aid, as orders are
strict in this matter. No command
err must endanger the lives of the
troops aboard. Speed is the only
hope of safety. On his first trip out,
Lieut.. Herndon's ship, the Matoika,
in convoy of fourteen ships, was at
tackled by subs off Cape Henry. One
sub is believed to have been sunk by
the port gun crew.
These are dry details, but at the
same time the lives of thousands of
men are dependent upon the quick
thought and prompt action of the
commander. The strain is constant;
the responsibility is great. Without
warning, thousands may be sent to
the bottom of the deep, and if the
opportunity of firing a gun occurs,
there is not the satisfaction of know
ing positively whether the sub is
sunk or only submerged.
Lieut.. Herndon anticipates that he
will soon he able to secure his re-
lease, when he will resume his pro-
fession, that of civil engineer and
again reside in Covington.

The following resolutions We're
adopted relative to the Baton Rouge

operation with Hammond's move
ment to have a suitable and efficient
service installed:
Whereas, the passenger service rem
dered by the Baton Rouge, Hammand
& Eastern Railroad, between Coving-
ton and Baton Rouge and intermedi-
ate points, is unsatisfactory, in that
there is only one passenger train a
day, which leaves Covngton at six
O'Clock a. m, and returning arrives
at six o'clock p. m, and
Whereas, the mixed freight and
passenger train which leaves Baton
Rouge early in the morning does not
arrive in Covington until afternoon,
and is not of dependable schedule,
and
Whereas, there is an increasing
travel between Covington and Baton
Rouge and intermediate points, and
Whereas, a double daily exclusive
passenger service would be a great
convenience to the travelling public.
therefore be it
Resolved, that the Covington AS
ISOLATION of Commerce petition the
State Railroad Commission to make
an investigation Of the conditions
that passengers are compelled to sub
NIT to by the use of this mixed
freight and passenger service, and be
it further
Resolved, that the Railroad Com

turning leave Covington in the after

Never use anything thicker than a
piece of paper for bookmark. DO not
turn the book over on its face; do not
turn leaf down or place a pencil or
pencil mark in the book to mark the
place.
Keep your books clean. Do not touch
them when your hands are soiled. DO
not turn the pages with a moistened
thumb. 1t leaves a mark which is hard
to remove.
When the cover has become soiled
clean it with finely powdered pumice
stone rubbed in with soft cloth Soiled
Pages may also be cleaned with the
pumice stone or with art gum.
If leaf is torn, cut a piece of thin
onion skin paper one half an inch wide
and the length of the tear and apply it
by means of a good library paste to the
tear. Put a piece of oiled paper under
the page when mending SO that no paste
will get through to the next page.
If page comes out, make a hinge of
good brand of paper one inch wide
and the length of the page. Fold the
paper lengthwise. Put library paste on
one half of the folded paper and apply
to loose page. Be sure that the folded
edge of the paper is next to the inner
edge of the page. Then paste the other
side in the book. See that the page is
put in evenly. If it protrudes beyond
the other pages trim neatly.
