UNHURT BY LONG IMMERSION
Articles Salvaged From sunken Ships
Found to Be Practically Unframed
by Action of Water.

Capt Reginald Humphreys of the
British navy in speaking of the action
of the sea on vessels and merchandise
says:
wooden ships, after being sunk,
are rapidly covered with marine
growth which forms sort of lime
deposit and preserves the wood in some
cases for several centuries. We are
informed by one of the underwriters
of New York who had charge of the
salvage operation on the Oregon that
bicycles were brought up from her hold
that had been in the water over four
months and yet looked as bright as
when they went down; also silks the
outer folds of which only were in
jured."
Some wines that had been recov-
cred from vessel sunk about fifty
years brought SIS a bottle at auction.
Gold and some other metals, glass and
precious Stones are never affected.
A new avenue of wealth is opened
to the world by means Of.the salvaging
submarine.

Little baskets are embroidered in
brown wool on the skirt. and yellow
figures, that may be translated, ac-
cording to your Imagination, into fruit
or flowers, overflow them. These lit
tie baskets have handles of the brown
wool which serve to camouflage the
slit pockets that slip into the skirt at
each side under them. Except for
them there would be nothing unusual
about this skirt but with them it has
the one thing needful to put 1t in the
class of distinctive models.
The blouse worn with this skirt Is
a tailored model Of white crepe de
chine, but these handsome skirts are
very adaptable and are worn with
much fancier blOuses than the one pic
tired when occasion demands them.

NeutraIized Poison Gas.

"NeutraliZing ointment" is one of
the latest war inventions. 1t is pub
licly revealed in an official description
of the protective devices against gas
attacks, issued to our atroops. The
mask, with it's contained chemicals
for neutralizing any poisonous fumes
that creep in is familiar. But one so
called gas is liquid and because Of
its blistering effect the soldiers have
given it the name of mustard gas"
When an area is drenched with the
stuff the menace may persist for many
days. The peril is not from the liquid
itself. Mustard gas burns through the
clothing, and makes painful wounds
where the flesh Is reached. The newly
invented ointment must apparently be
rubbed all over the body, as well as on
face and hands. to protect the SOL
dier when the enemy's bursting shells
are spraying this horrible gas about.

says: ." that the amount of phos-

allied loan to Germany is being con-
templated was suggested today by
the presence of Thomas w. Lamont,

Baruch, of the American war indus

ish financier, at Versailles, where
they have been comforting with Herr

on the German peace delegation.
1t is pointed out that should Ger
many go bankrupt it might drag Eu-
rope down into an abyss. Therefore,
as a price of acceptance of the en-
tente's peace terms, the allies may
offer loan, with the greater part
provided by the United States.
This would enable Germany to
meet her treaty obligations and at
the same time furnish capital to re-
vive German industries.

quarters as proof that by a commin-

cial considerations, the United States
